Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between inquisitiveness and problem-solving difficulties among pre-service elementary school teachers when solving mathematical problems containing contradictory information. The aim is to identify how different levels of inquisitiveness influence cognitive, metacognitive, and affective difficulties and to provide a deeper explanation of how these difficulties emerge during the reasoning process. A qualitative descriptive case study was conducted with 33 fifth-semester students in the Elementary Teacher Education program at Universitas PGRI Madiun. Data were collected through problem-solving tests, think-aloud, and interviews. Students were categorized into high, medium, and low inquisitiveness groups based on a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out through coding, reduction, and triangulation across instruments, followed by cross-case comparison to ensure the consistency of themes and strengthen the interpretation of findings. The results showed that inquisitiveness strongly influenced the types and intensity of difficulties. Students with low inquisitiveness often experienced cognitive difficulties, such as reliance on formulas without verification, and affective difficulties, such as nervousness and frustration, which led them to stop. Students with medium inquisitiveness tended to experience metacognitive difficulties, recognizing contradictions but failing to regulate or adjust their strategies. High-inquisitiveness students demonstrated persistence and attempts at verification, although occasional metacognitive challenges still appeared. The study also found that inquisitiveness shaped students’ emotional responses, with higher inquisitiveness associated with greater tolerance for confusion and a stronger willingness to re-evaluate conflicting information. Inquisitiveness plays a critical role in supporting conceptual verification, self-regulation, and emotional resilience when solving mathematical problems with contradictory information. These findings emphasize that inquisitiveness is not merely a cognitive trait but also an affective resource that helps students manage uncertainty. Strengthening this disposition may improve future teachers’ reasoning and their ability to guide students through complex problem-solving situations. Keywords: inquisitiveness, problem solving difficulties, contradictory information, pre-service elementary teachers.

Abstract

Innovation in the field of education and learning increasingly involves the use of electronic technology, both in the form of media and methods. To make learning more engaging and improve students’ learning outcomes, it is necessary to develop innovative learning media, specifically the development of Islamic Education (PAI) learning media using iSpring Suite. This study aims to examine the development process, feasibility, and effectiveness of using iSpring Suite-based learning media on the topic of rukhsah in improving students’ PAI learning outcomes. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the Borg and Gall development model. The sample consisted of 26 students from class VII A. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, tests, and interviews, while data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis and t-test analysis to determine differences in learning outcomes before and after the implementation of iSpring Suite-based PAI learning media on the topic of rukhsah. The results of the development process showed that the validation scores were 92.5% from media experts, 95% from material experts, and 90% from learning experts, all of which fall into the “very feasible” category. Student responses yielded a score of 82%, indicating a “very good” category. The normality test indicated that the data were not normally distributed; therefore, non-parametric statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test was applied. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significance value of <0.05, indicating that the hypothesis was accepted and that the iSpring Suite-based learning media on rukhsah is effective in improving students’ learning outcomes.
