Abstract

Mathematics is an important part of science education and plays an important part in lots of aspects of life. However, students' low self-efficacy in mathematics is often an obstacle in learning. Low self-efficacy can inhibit students' confidence in solving problems and impact on their learning outcomes. One method that might be utilized to improve students' self-efficacy is the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This search aims to analyze the impact of PBL models on their self-efficacy in learning mathematics. This research used quasi-experiment method with Nonequivalent Posttest Only Control Group design. The research sample consisted of fifty-two seventh grade students of SMP IT Madani Islamic School Payakumbuh who were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was treated with PBL model, while the control group used conventional learning. Data was collected through self-efficacy questionnaire and analyzed descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The findings revealed that pupils who studied with PBL models had higher self-efficacy compared to students who used conventional learning models. In conclusion, the application of PBL can increase students' self-efficacy in learning mathematics because this method encourages active involvement, contextual problem solving, and reflection on the thinking process. This research shows the urgency of implementing PBL in mathematics learning to significantly improve students' confidence and learning outcomes.

Abstract

Mathematical reasoning is one of the essential competencies that students must possess to face the challenges of 21st-century learning. However, many students still struggle to solve problems that assess their mathematical reasoning. This study aims to analyse the types of errors students make using Newman’s Error Analysis procedure. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with 37 twelfth-grade high school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a mathematical reasoning ability test and interviews. The quantitative data from the test were analysed descriptively to identify error patterns, while the qualitative data from interviews were analysed thematically through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Most students made errors in three main stages, namely understanding the problem concept, transforming verbal information into appropriate mathematical representations, and applying mathematical procedures or algorithms correctly. Furthermore, the analysis showed that conceptual misunderstanding was the most prevalent type of error, often leading to subsequent transformation and process-skill errors. These findings suggest that teachers need to design learning interventions that strengthen conceptual comprehension and develop students’ systematic problem-solving strategies.
