Abstract

This study aims to describe the pattern of creativity in mathematical problem posing among students with moderate mathematical ability across different situations. Creativity is analyzed through three indicators: fluency, flexibility, and novelty. This qualitative descriptive study involved students of the Primary School Teacher Education Program (PGSD) at Universitas Negeri Makassar, selected using purposive sampling based on moderate mathematical ability test results. Data were collected through mathematical problem-posing tasks involving free, semi structured, and structured situations, supported by semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that students with moderate mathematical ability demonstrate relatively consistent fluency across situations, as they are able to generate several relevant mathematical problems. However, flexibility and novelty are limited and fluctuate depending on the characteristics of the situation. Free and semi-structured situations provide more opportunities for idea variation, while structured situations tend to restrict creativity, resulting in routine and procedural problems. These results highlight the importance of designing adaptive problem posing situations to support the development of students’ mathematical creativity. These results suggest that instructional designs incorporating adaptive and balanced problem posing situations are essential to support the development of flexibility and novelty in students’ mathematical creativity.

Abstract

Self-directed learning and creative thinking are essential 21st-century skills that need to be optimally developed in mathematics education. This study aimed to investigate how the implementation of a metacognitive learning model influences students’ self-directed learning and creative thinking skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving ninth-grade students at SMP Telkom Makassar. The population comprised all ninth-grade students, with data collected using a self-directed learning questionnaire and a creative thinking skills test. In the experimental class, the mean self-directed learning score after the treatment was 3.59 with an average normalized gain of 0.48, and 100% of students achieved at least a moderate category. The mean creative thinking score reached 83.86 with an average gain of 0.77, and 90.3% of students exceeded the minimum mastery criterion. In contrast, the control class obtained a mean self-directed learning score of 3.39 with an average gain of 0.39, and 96.7% of students reached at least a moderate category. The mean creative thinking score in this class was 72.50 with an average gain of 0.61, and 56.7% of students surpassed the minimum mastery criterion. Inferential statistical analysis revealed that the metacognitive learning model had a significant effect on students’ self-directed learning and creative thinking. These findings underscore the importance of process-oriented mathematics instruction that emphasizes self-regulation and creativity. Therefore, metacognitive learning is recommended as an effective instructional strategy to enhance students’ learning independence and creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates undergraduate students’ understanding and misconceptions concerning continuity and differentiability across multiple mathematical representations. It specifically examines whether misconceptions remain stable or shift when concepts are presented in symbolic, graphical, and contextual forms. Method: A qualitative exploratory case study was conducted involving 83 undergraduate mathematics education students at a leading public university in Indonesia. Data were collected using 11 validated and reliable multiple-choice items designed to elicit reasoning across different representations. Students’ written responses were analyzed to identify patterns of understanding and error. In-depth interviews with selected participants were conducted to clarify underlying reasoning processes. A collective case study framework was employed, treating each representation as a micro case to enable systematic cross-representation comparison. Findings: The results indicate that misconceptions were widespread and often consistent across representations. Common errors included interpreting graphical smoothness as proof of differentiability, assuming differentiability without verifying continuity, and conflating the existence of a limit with the function’s value. Many students relied on procedural manipulation, visual intuition, or contextual familiarity rather than formal limit-based reasoning, revealing fragmented conceptual understanding. Significance: The findings highlight the need for instructional approaches that explicitly integrate multiple representations and strengthen connections between intuitive reasoning and formal definitions. By addressing persistent misconceptions across representations, calculus instruction can better support the development of coherent and conceptually grounded mathematical understanding.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan model Project-Based Learning (PjBL) dengan pendekatan STEAM terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa kelas VII UPT SMP Negeri 1 Pangsid. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pre-eksperimental dengan desain one group pretest–posttest. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa kelas VII UPT SMP Negeri 1 Pangsid pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2024/2025. Sampel penelitian adalah siswa kelas VII.7 yang dipilih menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling. Instrumen penelitian meliputi lembar observasi keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dan tes kemampuan berpikir kritis. Data observasi dianalisis menggunakan persentase, sedangkan data kemampuan berpikir kritis dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil observasi menunjukkan bahwa keterlaksanaan pembelajaran berada pada kategori terlaksana dengan baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa mengalami peningkatan dari 29,94 pada pretest menjadi 83,00 pada posttest. Ketuntasan klasikal kemampuan berpikir kritis tercapai sebesar 80,65%. Nilai rata-rata gain ternormalisasi kemampuan berpikir kritis sebesar 0,75 yang termasuk dalam kategori tinggi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis statistik inferensial, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan model PjBL dengan pendekatan STEAM berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' mathematical connection skills based on self-regulated learning in solving math problems in the Two-Variable Linear Equation System material. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The subjects in this study were class VIII MTs Negeri 1 Makassar City consists of two students for each level of high, medium, and low self-regulated learning. The research instrument used consisted of the main instrument, namely the researchers, and also the supporting instruments, namely a self-regulated learning questionnaire, a mathematical connection ability test, and an interview guide. The results showed that: (1) subjects who had high self-regulated learning met three indicators of mathematical connection, namely being able to recognize and use ideas in mathematics and understand the interrelationships of these ideas, and being able to recognize and apply mathematics in contexts in other fields of study. And able to relate mathematics in daily life. (2) subjects who have moderate self-regulated learning only meet two indicators of mathematical connections, namely being able to recognize and use ideas in mathematics and understand the interrelationships of these ideas, and being able to recognize and apply mathematics in the context of daily life. (3) Subjects who have low self-regulated learning, namely subjects R1 and R2 were unable to fulfill the three indicators of mathematical connection. Subject R1 was only able to fulfill one indicator of mathematical connection, while subject R2 did not fulfill any indicator of mathematical connection.
