Abstract

This study aims to analyze articles published in Indonesian mathematics education journals to see the development of problem-solving skills research. Content analysis is the method used to analyze these articles. The articles analyzed were articles published in 2019 to 2024, with a special emphasis on problem-solving skills. After being analyzed, it was found that there was a decrease in the number of publications discussing problem-solving skills over the past five years. Of these articles, the most commonly used research design was quantitative. In addition, the eighth grade of junior high school and the material 'Geometry' were consistently the most widely used subjects and materials in this study. Test sheets and t-tests were the instruments and data analysis methods most widely used by researchers. Several suggestions have been put forward for future problem-solving skills research. One of the main suggestions is to increase the variety of research methodologies used. Researchers are encouraged to not only rely on quantitative methods, but also explore qualitative and mixed methods to gain a deeper understanding of how problem-solving skills can be developed effectively. More diverse research in terms of subjects, topics, and methodologies is expected to make a significant contribution to improving the quality of mathematics education in Indonesia, especially in developing students' problem-solving skills.

Abstract

This study explores junior high school students’ numeracy skills in solving AKM-equivalent algebra problems based on their learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Using a qualitative case study design, nine students were selected through a learning style questionnaire and a numeracy test. Data were gathered using tests, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that students with different learning styles demonstrate distinct strengths and challenges at each cognitive level (knowing, applying, and reasoning). High-proficiency students were able to solve problems across all levels, often using strategies aligned with their learning preferences. Moderate-proficiency students commonly faced difficulties in applying-level tasks due to conceptual misunderstandings, while low-proficiency students struggled across all levels, particularly with comprehension and focus. Despite these difficulties, students employed various successful strategies such as sketching, verbalizing, or imagining scenarios. The study highlights the importance of adaptive instruction that integrates learning style-based strategies. Practical recommendations are provided for educators to design inclusive numeracy instruction that enhances students’ mathematical understanding and problem-solving abilities.
