Abstract

Mathematics teachers’ beliefs play an important role in the mathematics teaching practices. However, the instruments used to measure the mathematics on certain contents are still limited. Thus, this study was conducted to develop a Multiplication Beliefs Questionnaire (MBQ) to identify and examine the profile of Turkish pre-service mathematics teachers’ beliefs. The samples of this study consisted of 414 four-year pre-service primary mathematics teachers from 18 different universities in Turkey collected using a convenience sampling technique. The validity of the questionnaire was analyzed using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). We obtained four components of beliefs in multiplication covering, remote belief in multiplication (C1), multiplication operation belief in mathematics textbooks (C2), dynamic belief in multiplication learning (C3), and self-efficacy belief in multiplication problems (C4). The results showed that the pre-service mathematics teachers’ beliefs in components C1, C3, and C4 were positive, while component C2 was neutral. This study had an essential contribution to the mathematics literature since developing a questionnaire on multiplication distributed to the pre-service teachers. The previous studies showed that belief was subjective yet objectively influenced knowledge. Thus, identifying the pre-service teachers’ beliefs in teacher education may provide various benefits in reforming mathematics teaching.

Abstract

This study aimed to test the effectiveness of Bruner’s theory-guided discovery learning in enhancing the mathematical reasoning ability of elementary school students. The study was done with a quasi-experimental design and an experimental group instructed with discovery learning based on Bruner’s theory was compared with a control group instructed expositively. he population of this study consisted of elementary schools (SD/MI) in Banyumas Regency with accreditation levels A and B, totaling 38 schools. Using a stratified random sampling technique, four schools were selected—each representing schools with accreditation A and B—and were assigned as the experimental and control groups. The findings indicate that the experimental group significantly enhanced the ability to identify patterns, generalize, and construct and test mathematical arguments compared to the control group. However, the post-test scores suggest that students’ reasoning abilities in the experimental group have not reached a maximum point, possibly because they had not been exposed to enough experience in exploratory learning. The ANOVA test also failed to reveal any significant interaction between school accreditation category and instruction type on the student’s mathematical reasoning ability. With well-planned deployment and even more tailored to students’ characteristics, Bruner’s theory-guided discovery learning has immense potential to improve the quality of mathematics education at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Learning material is an important part of the implementation of learning, so teachers should be able to design, arrange, and develop their learning material. There are a lot of mathematics learning materials on the market but they are still rarely integrated with Islamic studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop Islamic context-based learning material to increase students' mathematical understanding. This study is research and development using the PPE model which consists of three stages, namely planning, production, and evaluation. The data collecting techniques used are tested to find out the students' mathematical understanding and questionnaire to find out expert's assessment. The data is analyzed quantitatively using descriptive data analysis techniques. The data obtained from the questionnaire is quantified to get results in the form of percentages to find out the results of the questionnaire from the validation of the learning material experts. The results showed that Islamic context-based learning material has fulfilled the requirements to be considered feasible to be used in the learning process and is feasible to be used as learning support to increase students' mathematical understanding.

Abstract

Banyumasan batik is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages from Banyumas Regency, which has unique and interesting patterns and motifs. This research paper describes the mathematical modelling of geometric transformations in Banyumasan batik. Geometric transformation is a mathematical technique for changing the shape or position of an object on a plane. This is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. Data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentations. The data obtained were analysed using content analysis to identify various Banyumasan batik motifs that can be transformed into geometric forms. This study describes the basic geometric transformations, namely translations in Sekar Tirta batik motif, reflections in Bawor Kembar batik motif, dilations in Kawung Jenggot batik motif, and rotations in Manggar Bawor batik motif which applied to Banyumasan batik motifs. The results of this study include geometric transformations of Banyumasan batik motifs which are expected to positively contribute to the development of Indonesian art and culture, especially in the field of batik, enrich insight and knowledge about the application of mathematics in everyday life, and can be used for mathematical modelling and mathematics education based on local culture.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze religious enthusiasm that does not continue after the primary school period is over and instead shows contrasting situations. Urban Muslims in Purwokerto, Indonesia, show high religious enthusiasm when choosing primary schools for their children. The number of public elementary school students has declined in the last five years, while Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah has increased dramatically. This research is field-type with data sources from urban Muslims who choose Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah as a primary school choice for their children. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a sociological approach. The study found that the religious enthusiasm of urban Muslims is pragmatic. Their pragmatic nature is shown by the resistance of different social groups that give rise to covert conflicts. In addition, they form new communities that actively represent them in public spaces. This finding has implications for a change in the perspective of the phenomenon of religious enthusiasm from theological awareness to a new trend of community-based urban Muslim pragmatism. Further research recommended the representation of the new identity of Muslim communities in virtual public spaces. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis antusiasme keagamaan orang tua yang tidak berlanjut pada jenjang pendidikan setelah Sekolah Dasar dan justru menunjukkan situasi yang kontras. Muslim perkotaan di Purwokerto, Indonesia, menunjukkan antusiasme agama yang tinggi dalam memilih Sekolah Dasar untuk anak-anak mereka. Jumlah siswa Sekolah Dasar Negeri mengalami penurunan dalam lima tahun terakhir, sebaliknya Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah meningkat secara drastis.. Penelitian ini berjenis lapangan dengan sumber data dari kelompok muslim perkotaan yang memilih Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah sebagai pilihan sekolah dasar untuk anak-anak mereka. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiologis. Studi ini menemukan bahwa antusiasme keagamaan muslim perkotaan bersifat pragmatis. Sifat pragmatis mereka ditunjukkan melalui perlawanan dan menimbulkan konflik terselubung. Selain itu, mereka membentuk komunitas baru yang secara aktif merepresentasikannya di ruang publik. Temuan ini berimplikasi pada perubahan perspektif fenomena antusiasme keagamaan dari kesadaran teologis ke kecenderungan baru pragmatisme. Penelitian lebih lanjut merekomendasikan representasi identitas baru komunitas muslim di ruang publik virtual.

Abstract

The study examines the relationship between understanding mathematical concepts and mathematical values among prospective teachers at a state university in Central Java. The research employed a qualitative approach with content analysis, involving a mathematical concept understanding test and in-depth interviews with students at high, medium, and low ability levels. The results show that students with high ability tend to possess strong mathematical values like accuracy, perseverance, and curiosity, which enable them to grasp complex mathematical concepts. In contrast, students with low ability struggle to comprehend basic mathematical concepts and often rely on rote calculation and formula use. The findings suggest that differentiated learning strategies are necessary to cater to the diverse levels of mathematical concept understanding among prospective teachers. Enhancing mathematical values can be a key factor in improving conceptual understanding in mathematics education.
