Abstract

Understanding and constructing mathematical proofs is fundamental for students in abstract algebra courses. The computational thinking approach can aid the process of compiling mathematical proofs. This study examined the impact of integrating computational thinking components in constructing mathematical proofs. The researcher employed a sequential explanatory approach to ascertain the enhancement of algebraic proof capability based on computational thinking through the t- test. A total of 32 prospective teachers in mathematics education programs were provided with worksheets for seven meetings, which were combined with computational thinking components. Quantitative data were collected from initial and subsequent test instruments. Moreover, three prospective teachers were examined through case studies to investigate their mathematical proof capability using computational thinking components, including decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. The study's findings indicated that CT intervention enhanced students' logical reasoning, proof-writing abilities, and overall engagement with abstract algebra concepts. The findings illustrate that integrating computational thinking into learning strategies can provide a framework for developing higher-order thinking skills, especially in proving, which are essential for studies in mathematics education programs.

Abstract

Critical thinking ability is a fundamental ability in the process of developing other thinking abilities in improving students' intellectual abilities, especially in learning mathematics.  One factor that influences critical thinking skills is emotional intelligence, especially awareness of controlling one's emotions. This research aims to apply a literature review in analyzing mathematical critical thinking skills in terms of emotional intelligence. The research method used in this research is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by reviewing relevant literature regarding critical thinking abilities in terms of emotional intelligence. Data collection was carried out through article searches using Publish or Perish on Google Scholar, Scopus, and Semantic Scholar with a publication range from 2015 to 2024. Article selection was carried out based on inclusion and exclusion criteria to obtain 10 journals that were relevant and suitable for further analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, it show that: (1) The type of research that is most widely used is quantitative, whereas other types of research are the qualitative and mixed method; (2) Most levels of education are at the junior high school level while other levels include elementary school, high school, and university students (3) Emotional intelligence has a positive relationship with students' mathematical critical thinking abilities (4) Factors that influence students' critical thinking abilities in terms of students' emotional intelligence are negative emotions such as stress, and frustration and negative thoughts that dominate and limit students' abilities. Based on research findings, good emotional handling strategies are needed in the learning process so that students can develop critical thinking skills optimally. Future research could explore more deeply the mechanisms of how emotional intelligence influences mathematical critical thinking abilities, as well as examine the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve emotional intelligence and mathematical critical thinking abilities simultaneously.        Keywords: mathematical critical thinking ability, emotional intelligence, systematic literature review.

Abstract

Modeling mathematics serves as a bridge between the processes of translating real-world problems into mathematics. In reality, however, students' mathematical modeling skills, including their knowledge of derivative applications, remain subpar. This study is intended to determine the relationship between mathematical modeling skills, mathematical habits of mind (MHoM), and early mathematical ability (EMA). This research employed a quantitative methodology with mix method sequential explanatory design. The method used a quantitative and qualitative approach. The first quantitative phase is used, then explained more deeply through the qualitative phase. Sample in this study were 36 eleventh-grade students from one of Tasikmalaya's senior high schools. In this investigation, the EMA was the previous semester's math report card grade. A mathematical modeling ability test question and an MHoM questionnaire were administered to students, and the quantitative analysis of the results followed. This study demonstrates that the relationship between MHoM and EMA has a 31.2% modeling capability. In addition, a one-point increase in MHoM and EMA increases the average mathematical modeling ability of pupils by 1,570 and 2,241. Therefore, it can be concluded that MHoM and EMA have a positive effect on mathematical modeling ability.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the difficulties of junior high school students in solving closed and open mathematical problems and to describe the causes of junior high school students experiencing these difficulties. As many as 25 students of class VIII-D from one of the State Junior High Schools in Bandung Regency were used as research samples. Data was collected by using test techniques, interviews, and document studies. The stages of data analysis carried out are data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that students had difficulty in converting the problem into a mathematical model, determining the required decision variables, calculating multiplication and division operations, and determining more than one answer in solving open problems. The difficulties experienced by these students are caused by the following: students feel that the problem given is something new, students are less careful in understanding the problems given, students still do not master the material, students are less careful in performing arithmetic operations, and students not accustomed to solving problems in the form of problem solving and open questions.

Abstract

Angle is one of the concepts from the field of geometry that is important for students to learn because there are basic concepts of geometry that can be used in other fields of mathematics and everyday life. Students still experience learning obstacles in angle concepts. This study aimed to identify learning obstacles experienced by Islamic junior high school students in angle concepts. The research method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The samples in this study were 8-grade students and mathematics teachers from one of the Islamic junior high schools in Bandung district, Indonesia. The results show that students experience learning obstacles, and can be concluded as follows, (1) instrumental ontogenic obstacles, caused by students not being used to facing difficult problems; (2) conceptsual ontogenic obstacles, caused by low mastery of prerequisite concepts; (3) psychological ontogenic obstacles, caused by low student interest in learning; (4) epistemological obstacles, caused by low mastery of angle concepts.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of Scratch multimedia in enhancing junior high school students' mathematical connection skills related to the topic of exponents. This study employed a mixed-methods design, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches, with 25 ninth-grade students as participants. Six students were purposively selected for in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using paired-samples t-tests. In contrast, qualitative data were obtained from observation and interview results, and were analyzed thematically to identify the main themes during the learning process. Quantitatively, the study's results showed a significant increase in each indicator of mathematical connection skills. The indicator of connections between mathematical ideas (M post-test = 78.40, M pre-test = 45.20, t(24) = 7.43, p = 0.002) with an N-Gain value of 61% showed a fairly good increase. The connection indicator between mathematical representations (M post-test = 93.32, M pre-test = 58.40, t(24) = 4.89, p < 0.001) with an N-Gain value of 84% demonstrated a significant improvement. The connection indicator of mathematics with real-life problems (M post-test = 74.40, M pre-test = 24.20, t(24) = 6.18, p < 0.001) showed a significant improvement, with an N-Gain value of 61%, indicating a strong connection. Qualitatively, the study's results revealed three main themes: the use of Scratch multimedia in exponential learning enhances students' understanding of the material, creates a fun learning experience, and strengthens understanding through games. This study shows a positive impact of Scratch multimedia on improving students' mathematical connection abilities. Future research can utilize longitudinal studies to determine whether learning improvements are sustained in the long term.    Keywords: mathematical connection, mathematics learning, scratch multimedia.
