Abstract

Analyzing and testing mathematical critical thinking skills based on the ability level of class VIII students of junior high school is the aim of this research. By understanding the level of students' abilities, educators can determine students' mathematical critical thinking abilities and develop appropriate teaching strategies to improve students' abilities. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. This research was conducted at one of the junior high schools in Cipatat, West Bandung Regency with heterogeneous abilities of 8 students. This research uses data collection techniques by providing mathematical critical thinking ability questions on SPLDV material which consists of 5 essay test questions based on the following indicators: (1) Checking the completeness of problem solving steps. (2) Look for alternative solutions to problems. (3) Identify spldv equations with certain characteristics. (4) Choose the best way to solve the problem from alternative ways of solving it. (5) Identifying the adequacy of data on a problem. In this study, the results of the analysis have shown that students at a high level of ability can check the completeness of problem solving steps, students with a medium level of ability have little difficulty in identifying spldv equations with certain characteristics, and students with a low level of ability have difficulty finding alternatives problem solution.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an E-Module that can be used by teachers to support the learning process so that students more easily understand material in interactive mathematics at SMPN 4 Cipeundeuy. In order to do so, this research using research and development (Reaserch and Development) with the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). Research conducted using this model is limited to step 3 (Define, Design, Develop) due to time and cost constraints during the research. The subjects of this study were class IX students for limited trials and class VIII students for wide trials. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The results of the study on the feasibility of teaching materials were seen from the results of the assessment of lesson plans, worksheets, and media with a percentage of 93.80% and the results of assessments by two mathematics teachers with a percentage of 89%. Teaching materials were tested for practicality using a student response questionnaire with a percentage of 90%. Thus this teaching material can be implemented and can be used. The results of this study can be categorized as valid, practical, and very feasible because they have received a good due diligence.

Abstract

Semiotics is defined as using signs to represent mathematical concepts in problem-solving. The mathematical semiotic process involves creating meaning from the triadic relationship between the representamen (R), object (O), and interpretant (I). Mathematical semiotics play an essential role in the cognitive processes of individuals as they formulate and communicate mathematical ideas. Therefore, this study aims to describe the stages of the semiotic process of junior high school students solving integers-related mathematical problems. In this qualitative analysis, the participant is a seventh-grade student categorized as pseudo-semiotic. The research instrument is a test on integers and interviews. The results demonstrate that the semiosis related to integers involves the representamen, object, and interpretant stages. For a subject with a pseudo-semiotic type, this meaning-making process requires the construction of a comprehensive understanding of the concept. Furthermore, the understanding is developed using various instruments, resulting in connection conflicts between different components of the semiotic system. Connection conflict occurs because of the mismatched relationship between the elements of semiosis: representamen, object, and interpretant. A pseudo-semiotic subject only has a superficial understanding of mathematical concepts, making it challenging to establish accurate connections between symbols and their underlying meanings. Consequently, this hinders the ability to understand mathematics profoundly and apply the concepts in real-life situations.

Abstract

Some countries, including Indonesia, have a framework for understanding how students receive and process math concepts as new knowledge through learning styles. Learning style, particularly Kolb's model, is one of the learning styles that contribute to students' success in learning. Experts have explored the characteristics of Kolb's learning style and found many effects on student learning outcomes as a starting point in learning mathematical concepts. However, the research still focuses on exploring integer operation materials in specific math abilities. The researchers hardly found any discourse to study, such as exploring number patterns in computational thinking and semiotic mathematics. Therefore, this study aims to explore mathematical semiotics and computational thinking on number patterns in terms of Kolb's learning style model. This research uses hermeneutic phenomenology to explore through written tests and interviews. An explanation of the components, characteristics, and semiotic characteristics of mathematical and computational thinking seen in students who have the Kolb model of learning in solving problems of number patterns is part of the interpretation. These findings can be used as benchmarks in developing mathematics materials. Thus, this knowledge is a concrete foundation to guide future advances in curriculum, assessment methods, and learning approaches in mathematics education, particularly in algebra.

Abstract

Mathematics learning in elementary schools is often faced with the challenge of bridging abstract concepts with participants' concrete experiences. One of the reasons is the difficulty in understanding and using mathematical signs and symbols appropriately. Semiotic representation of mathematics, which involves symbols, diagrams and notations as visual and conceptual aids, is an important approach in overcoming these challenges. This study aims to explore the ability of prospective elementary school teachers to understand and use semiotic representations of mathematics, especially in the context of number patterns. A qualitative approach with a hermeneutic phenomenological design was chosen to understand prospective teachers' experiences, views, and thought processes in interpreting and using mathematical symbols. The researcher used written tests and semi-structured interviews as data collection techniques to explore the semiotic representations used in mathematical problem solving. The participants were grouped based on the results of the initial ability test, and six of them were selected as research subjects. Data analysis used the Interpretive Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) method with the help of NVivo 14 Plus software, which allows researchers to systematically manage and analyze qualitative data. The results of this study are expected to provide insight into prospective teachers' understanding of symbolic representation in mathematics learning and the challenges they face, which can be the basis for designing more effective learning strategies in the context of mathematics education in primary schools. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were obtained through observation and analysis of problem solving activities involving symbolic and visual representations. The results of the study are expected to provide insight into the importance of semiotic training in prospective teacher education, so that they are able to convey mathematical concepts meaningfully and contextually.
