Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of determining the comparison of achievement and improvement in the problem-solving ability of students who learn through realistic mathematics education and a conventional approach. The study used quantitative methods in the form of a quasi-experiment. The design of this study used a pretest-posttest control group design. The participants in this study were students in grade VIII from one of the junior high schools in the Belu district. The sample in this study consisted of 22 students from class VIIIA as the experimental group, and 22 students from class VIIIB as the control group. The research instruments used were a problem-solving ability test and observation sheets. The results showed that the achievement and improvement in the mathematics problem-solving ability of students who learned through the realistic mathematics education approach were better than those of students who learned with a conventional approach. Learning with a realistic mathematics education approach can facilitate the problem-solving skills of junior high school students. It is recommended that future researchers apply the realistic mathematics education approach to other mathematical abilities.

Abstract

To improve children's arithmetic learning, it is important to understand the strategies they use when solving arithmetic problems and the obstacles they find in this process. So, the objective of this research is to identify the strategies used by a group of Mexican fourth grade elementary school students in solving additive verbal arithmetic problems. We used a framework where the main theoretical elements that guided the study were characterized: strategies, types of strategies, verbal arithmetic problems, and the semantic and syntactic structures of the additive problems. This qualitative research, with a descriptive scope, uses case study as a method. The study cases were seven students from an Elementary School Located in ​​Zumpango de Neri, Guerrero, Mexico. To collect data, Task-Based Interviews were used, that were applied to the case studies in November 2024. The results allowed the identification of four reflective strategies: identifies a relevant keyword; selects the appropriate operation; performs mental calculation; and decomposes a numerical factor. Additionally, three non-reflective strategies were identified: uses an inappropriate keyword; operates with given data; and answers without performing operations. Some of the case studies used more than one strategy when solving some of the proposed tasks. These results allow suggesting that in the classroom the personal strategies used by students must be assessed in order to identify those that are thoughtless to help students travel towards the use of reflexive strategies. This will be possible through designs that incorporate problems resolving such as a central activity in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the profile of students' mathematical communication ability in solving set problems in terms of field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles. This research method includes qualitative descriptive research. In this study, the collected data was in the form of words so that it did not emphasize numbers. Participants in this study consisted of three students with a field-dependent cognitive style and three students with a field-independent cognitive style from class VII at one of the junior high schools in North Central Timor Regency. The instruments used are a mathematical communication ability test, Group Embedded Figure Test, and interviews. The results showed that students with a field-independent cognitive style have high mathematical communication abilities. This can be seen from the test results of the three field-independent students who are able to express mathematical ideas through oral, written, demonstration and describe in visual form, are able to analyze, interpret, and evaluate mathematical ideas through oral, written, and other visual forms, and are able to use terms, mathematical notations, and their structures to present ideas, describe relationships, and situation models when solving problems mathematical sets. Meanwhile, students with a field-dependent cognitive style have low mathematical communication abilities. This can be seen from the results of the mathematics communication ability test of the three field-dependent students who have not been able to meet all the indicators of mathematical communication.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the difficulties experienced by students of grade VIII of junior high school in solving circle story problems based on Polya's Theory. The research approach used is a qualitative approach. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. This research was conducted in one of the junior high schools in North Central Timor Regency. The subjects of this study were grade VIII consisting of 20 students. The instruments used were 4 circle material test questions and interviews to determine the factors that cause students to have difficulty working on the questions. Data analysis techniques through the stages of test data analysis, data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the difficulties faced by students are 1) difficulty understanding the problem, namely students have difficulty in positioning the function of the symbol on the known and asked parts of the question, 2) difficulty making a solution plan, namely students have difficulty connecting the known and asked elements so that students do not fully understand the strategy that will be used to plan the solution, 3) difficulty completing the solution plan, namely students have difficulty writing a complete formula to be used in solving the problem so that they do not find the results requested by the question, 4) difficulty re-checking, namely students do not know how to make conclusions from the results of their work.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the errors made by a group of Mexican High School students when solving linear equations, as well as their possible causes. Data collection was conducted through a task-based interview administered to 30 students from a public school in southern Mexico. The results revealed that students made arithmetic errors when solving linear equations, including difficulties in performing operations with integers, handling fractions, applying the distributive property, and transposing terms incorrectly. By analyzing students' reasoning, it was inferred that these errors stem mainly from poor assimilation of arithmetic concepts, affective and emotional factors, and the presence of cognitive obstacles. Additionally, both procedural and conceptual algebraic errors were identified. According to the conceptual framework, these errors originate from limited manipulation of algebraic language, incorrect application of procedural rules, and didactic and cognitive obstacles. These findings encourage reflection on future research aimed at improving the learning of linear equations at the high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the achievement and improvement of students' numeracy skills based on the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach intervention. This research used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class that used the RME approach and the control class that used conventional methods. The instrument used was a numeracy description test question on the material of the Two-Variable Linear Equation System. The results showed that the achievement and improvement of students' numeracy skills, who learned through the realistic mathematics education approach, were better than students who learn through conventional approaches. This shows that learning with a realistic mathematics education approach can facilitate the numeracy skills of junior high school students. It is hoped that future researchers can apply the realistic mathematics education approach to other mathematical skills.
