Abstract

Mathematical thinking style is an aspect that needs to be studied, especially its implications for the practice of science pedagogy in the classroom, considering the role of mathematics in science learning is very important. Studies related to this theme are seen as very interesting and also very relevant to support future teaching and research practices. The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of mathematical thinking styles and their implications in science learning. Specifically, this bibliometric study aims to describe and examine literature in areas that are coherent with the concept of mathematical thinking style, and coherence between mathematical thinking style and science learning. The SCOPUS database is used as a source of document information. Screening and document analysis were carried out according to the keywords inserted in the 'search document' menu. With several modes of screening documents in areas that are coherent with the concept of mathematical thinking style and its implications in science learning, a number of documents were found that examine the subject area. The specific screening steps and document findings are discussed further in this article. Basically, specific articles that are coherent with the theme of bibliometric analysis 'mathematical thinking styles and their implications in learning science' describe the importance of studies related to students' mathematical thinking styles. Differences in students' thinking styles become a big challenge for teachers' pedagogical practices in teaching mathematics and science. This is an important implication in this study, and teachers must find the best way to conduct mathematics and science learning in the light of the different mathematical thinking styles of students. Finally, this study can be a reference in future studies that will explore themes related to mathematical thinking styles

Abstract

[English]: This article aims to critically review researches on characters and values in mathematics teaching and learning. Data for the review was the research articles authored by Indonesian mathematics education researchers and published in the online peer-review journals. The articles were searched in national scientific databases, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. The searches resulted in forty articles which aim to develop students' character and values through mathematics lesson. Five steps, i.e., text interpretation, coding, analysis, discussion, and reconsideration, are employed to analyze the articles qualitatively. The review reveals the articles lack of theoretical basis in the conceptualization of character/values, the development of character/values, and their measurement. Twenty-six articles on character did not define the notion clearly; meanwhile, the other articles only cite some definitions, but no operational definition was made. Character is a multifaceted construct which requires an operational definition to measure its development. In developing character and values, various strategies were utilized, but the most authors have not addressed theoretical analysis and rationale on their feasibility and relations the conceptualization of the notions. All articles did not provide any explanation on whether the instruments used were developed with respect to the nature of character or values development and fulfill psychometric properties. In this case, we argue that the researches were unfocused and not extensive. In this article, related theories and prior works are thoroughly discussed to shed light on the researching topics. Further research which relates to character education program in Indonesia is also elaborated. Keywords: Review, Character, Values, Mathematic teaching [Bahasa]: Artikel ini bertujuan mengulas secara kritis penelitian terkait karakter dan nilai dalam pembelajaran matematika. Data untuk ulasan merupakan artikel hasil penelitian yang ditulis oleh peneliti pendidikan matematika Indonesia dan diterbitkan di jurnal daring yang sudah melalui ulasan sejawat. Artikel dicari melalui basis data ilmiah nasional, DOAJ, dan Google Scholar. Pencarian menghasilkan 40 artikel yang bertujuan membangun karakter dan nilai siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika. Artikel dianalisis secara kualitatif melalui lima langkah yaitu interpretasi teks, penyusunan kode, analisis, diskusi, dan pertimbangan kembali. Ulasan menunjukkan bahwa artikel tersebut memiliki kekurangan dasar teoritis dalam konseptualisasi karakter/nilai, pengembangan karakter/nilai, dan aspek pengukuran. Dua puluh enam artikel yang membahas karakter tidak mendefinisikan istilah tersebut dengan jelas, sedangkan artikel yang lain hanya mengutip beberapa definisi tetapi tidak membuat definisi operasional. Karakter memiliki makna yang bervariasi sehingga membutuhkan definisi operasional untuk mengukur perkembangan pada diri siswa. Dalam mengembangkan karakter dan nilai, beragam strategi digunakan tetapi kebanyakan penulis tidak menjelaskan analisis teoritis and rasionalisasi kenapa strategi tersebut dapat digunakan dan berkaitan dengan konseptualisasi karakter/nilai. Semua artikel tidak memberikan penjelasan apakah instrumen yang dikembangkan sesuai dengan karakteristik perkembangan karakter atau nilai dan memenuhi kriteria psikometri. Dalam hal ini, penelitian terkait karakter/nilai tersebut belum fokus dan berskala kecil. Dalam artikel ini, beberapa teori yang relevan dan hasil penelitian sebelumnya dijelaskan secara mendalam untuk memberikan arah penelitian topik tersebut. Penelitian lebih lanjut yang berkaitan dengan program pendidikan karakter di Indonesia juga dibahas. Kata kunci: Analisis, Karakter, Nilai, Pembelajaran Matematika

Abstract

Students' difficulties in their experiences of the mathematics learning process are when systems of linear equations are integrated with real-world cases in everyday life. Students’ logical thinking is not strong enough to solve the problems presented. Finally, ways of creative thinking are needed as a basis for attaining learning competencies in the teaching materials of linear equation systems. On the one hand, an appropriate learning model is needed to encourage students' creative thinking. Therefore, this study aims to intervene in a mathematical problem-solving model on the linear equations system and analyze its impact on improving students' creative thinking abilities. To attain the research aims, a simple experimental method was applied with a one-group pre-post-test design. A valid essay test instrument was employed to measure students' creative thinking in the four aspects of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration). Creative thinking data collected (pre-post-test) were then analyzed descriptively and statistically. The results of the study indicate that the model of solving mathematical problems in the materials of linear equation systems has a significant impact on improving students' creative thinking abilities. This finding becomes a reference in its application in the routine of learning mathematics, not only on linear equation systems but on other calculus materials.
