Abstract

This research project sought to explain the format and quality of students' mathematical argumentation in graph theory by examining how students built and defended arguments using the Toulmin model. Although research on mathematical argumentation has been extensive, studies that explicitly examine the structure of students' argumentation in graph theory are still very limited, especially in the context of Discrete Mathematics courses in Indonesian higher education. The qualitative descriptive design has been used to investigate students' written responses to graph theory problems in a Discrete Mathematics course. The sample consisted of 22 undergraduate students from the Mathematics Education Study Program at Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang, selected purposively and classified into high-, medium-, and low-ability groups. Inductive and deductive analysis methods were applied to the data to identify patterns in the reasoning and to assess whether the students' arguments were complete and logically consistent. Data analysis was conducted by combining inductive and deductive approaches supported by a Toulmin model-based coding framework to identify the structure and completeness of arguments, particularly the presence and thickness of claims, data, and warrants, and to compare patterns across levels of ability. The findings showed clear differences in mathematical argumentation across ability levels. Students with high ability presented more coherent arguments with correct and justified claims and logical warrants, whereas medium- and low-ability students produced incomplete or no arguments. The results of this study suggest that ways to enhance the reasoning and argumentation of mathematics instruction, especially by using tasks that encourage justification and conceptual learning in discrete mathematics, need to be reinforced.   Keywords: mathematical argumentation, reasoning, Toulmin’s model, graph theory, discrete mathematics, mathematics education.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of mathematics teachers in junior high schools in promoting students' numeracy through the design and delivery of classroom instruction. The qualitative multiple-case study design was used to gather information on ten mathematics teachers, selected through purposive sampling based on teaching experience and willingness to participate, in the form of lesson plans, observations in classrooms, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of students’ work, which were analyzed using a numeracy framework consisting of representation, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and reasoning, guiding thematic content analysis and cross-case comparison. The results show that educators have progressively incorporated real-life contexts and diagnostic tests in their instructional planning. Nevertheless, the combination of the various representations and the systematic development of mathematical reasoning is underdeveloped. These trends indicate that the primary problem with numeracy learning is not the accessibility of numeracy-related tasks, but rather the representation, reasoning, and coherence of instructional design. Based on this, the research indicates the need for professional development initiatives that specifically assist teachers in crafting exploratory, discourse-based numeracy assignments that are consonant with Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) requirements and classroom contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate and compare differences in elementary school students’ understanding of geometric concepts between those who experienced ethnomathematics-based learning and those who received conventional instruction. This study employed an ex post facto comparative design involving 54 fifth-grade students divided into two groups. Data were collected using a geometry concept understanding test that met validity (0.92) and reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.86) criteria. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that the mean score of the ethnomathematics group (M = 83.96; SD = 4.74) was higher than that of the conventional group (M = 71.15; SD = 2.58). Welch’s t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t = 12.33; df = 40.17; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that ethnomathematics-based learning is associated with higher levels of students’ understanding of geometric concepts compared to conventional instruction. However, due to the ex post facto design, the findings should be interpreted as associative rather than causal.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving abilities in trigonometry material remain a challenge for many students, partly because they lack self-directed learning skills to manage the learning process. This research aims to analyze the relationship between self-directed learning and students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in trigonometry material. The research approach is quantitative, using a correlational method. The research sample consists of 62 vocational high school students in Karawang Regency, selected through random sampling. The research instruments include a self-directed learning questionnaire and an essay test of problem-solving abilities. The questionnaire measures initiative, responsibility, self-regulation, and students' evaluative abilities in the learning process, while the problem-solving ability test assesses students' abilities to understand, plan, execute, and evaluate trigonometry problem solutions. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson correlation test. The research results show a strong, significant positive relationship between self-directed learning and mathematical problem-solving abilities, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.679 and a significance value of < 0.001. These findings indicate that increased self-directed learning tends to be followed by greater ability to solve mathematical problems.

Abstract

This quantitative study aimed to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of self-efficacy and gender on mathematics learning outcomes related to circle equations among high school students. Employing a multiple regression design, the research involved 139 twelfth-grade students from SMA Negeri 7 Tambun Selatan, selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected through a self-efficacy questionnaire analyzed using the Successive Interval Method and an essay-based test for learning outcomes. Multiple regression analysis, after fulfilling classical assumptions, revealed that self-efficacy and gender significantly influenced learning outcomes simultaneously (F = 1025, p < 0.00). Partially, self-efficacy emerged as a significant predictor, with a positive coefficient (β = 0.585, t = 5.969, p < 0.001), indicating that higher self-efficacy is associated with improved cognitive achievement. Conversely, gender showed no significant partial effect (p > 0.05). Additional correlation analysis indicated a stronger relationship between self-efficacy and learning outcomes in male students (  = 0.545) compared to female students (  = 0.348). Nonetheless, self-efficacy remained the primary explanatory factor for cognitive achievement in both groups. These findings underscore the dominant role of self-efficacy as the key determinant of success in learning circle equations, surpassing the influence of gender.

Abstract

Mathematical reasoning ability is one of the essential hard skills students need, especially for solving real-world problems. Self-confidence is defined as a state in which individuals feel comfortable with themselves, are willing to act decisively, recognize their own worth and competence, and accept themselves as they are. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-confidence and the mathematical reasoning ability of eleventh-grade high school students on the topic of sequences and series, as well as the contribution of self-confidence to their mathematical reasoning ability. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design with an ex post facto method. The population consisted of 163 eleventh-grade students, from which a sample of 62 students was selected using simple random sampling. The research instruments included an essay test on mathematical reasoning and a self-confidence questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a correlation test. The results showed a weak positive relationship between self-confidence and mathematical reasoning ability (ρ = 0.365). The self-confidence questionnaire revealed that 48% of the students had low self-confidence, 34% had moderate self-confidence, and 17% had high self-confidence. Furthermore, 76% of the students scored below the Minimum Passing Criteria, while only 24% scored above it. Therefore, the relationship between self-confidence and the mathematical reasoning ability of eleventh-grade high school students on the topic of sequences and series is weak.
