Abstract

The main procedure that students need to master in the problem-solving process is understanding the problem before proceeding to the next steps. This research aims to investigate students' difficulties and the factors causing these difficulties in understanding the problem. This research is qualitative in nature and is based on the philosophy of phenomenology. The research was conducted in an eighth-grade class at one of the Junior High Schools in Bandung, consisting of 28 students. Data collection techniques included tests, interviews, and think-aloud methods. The data collection instruments used were tests and interview guides. The tests used in this research had been previously validated for content, construct, and face validity by mathematics education experts. Data analysis in qualitative research involves data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings of this research indicate that the difficulties faced by students in understanding the problem include difficulties in comprehending language, difficulties in grasping both explicit and implicit meanings, difficulties in identifying the necessary information, and difficulties in connecting meanings. The main factors causing students' difficulties in understanding the problem are a lack of careful reading skills and a lack of understanding of the concepts held by students.

Abstract

Relational understanding is the ability to apply and relate one material to another and know the reason. The purpose of this research is to conduct a study related to relational understanding in solving mathematical problems at the elementary, junior high, junior high, high school and university levels. This study used the systematic literature review (SLR) method, with a sample of 21 research results related to relational understanding in solving mathematical problems published within the last nine years. Data collection was carried out by documenting all research related to relational understanding in solving mathematical problems in terms of research year, publication platform index, education level, research demographics, research type and research results. The results showed that the most years of related publications were in 2022, the dominating participants were at the junior high school level, Java Island as one of the largest populations was the most frequent location for research and qualitative research was the type of research often used by researchers with mixed results depending on students' initial mathematical abilities, learning styles, cognitive or non-cognitive styles of students and effective learning methods used to improve relational understanding.

Abstract

Abstrak Numerasi merupakan keterampilan mendasar yang krusial bagi setiap individu, namun siswa di Indonesia, termasuk Kabupaten Garut, sering menghadapi kesulitan dalam memahami numerasi. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, diperlukan peningkatan kompetensi guru dalam menyusun soal berbasis numerasi. Artikel ini menguraikan pelaksanaan workshop “Pembelajaran Numerasi di Sekolah Dasar” yang dilaksanakan oleh tim dosen dan mahasiswa Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi, bekerja sama dengan Institut Pendidikan Indonesia (IPI) Garut. Workshop mencakup penyampaian materi dan pendampingan penyusunan soal numerasi, melibatkan mahasiswa Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar IPI Garut dan guru sekolah dasar setempat. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan wawasan serta keterampilan peserta dalam merancang soal numerasi sesuai dengan konten, konteks, dan proses yang relevan. AbstractNumeracy is a crucial fundamental skill for every individual, but students in Indonesia, including Garut Regency, often face difficulties in understanding numeracy. To overcome this, it is necessary to increase teacher competence in developing numeracy-based questions. This article describes the implementation of the workshop ‘Numeracy Learning in Elementary Schools’ conducted by a team of lecturers and students of Mathematics Education Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. This activity was carried out through planning, implementation and evaluation, in collaboration with the Indonesian Institute of Education (IPI) Garut. The workshop included material delivery and assistance in preparing numeracy questions, involving IPI Garut Elementary School Teacher Education students and local elementary school teachers. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' insights and skills in designing numeracy questions according to relevant content, context, and process.

Abstract

Making mathematical models involves translating real-life situations into mathematical expressions. This research, conducted in three Bandung schools with 93 students, focuses on iconic and symbolic mathematical models. Findings reveal that students' abilities using these models are below the expected minimum, with symbolic models being more dominant. The score difference may be influenced by the teacher's role, students' experiences, individual abilities, and specific contexts favoring visual understanding. Students face challenges in making mathematical models, including a lack of comprehensive understanding, difficulty identifying variables, creating context-free models, and struggling with relevant visualizations. Additionally, they encounter issues using formulas and interpreting mathematical results when answering questions. In the validation stage, adjusting temporary results to real situations poses challenges. Internal factors contributing to difficulties include a lack of interest, critical limitations, and low self-confidence. External factors like a limited practical experience in making models also play a role. A holistic solution addressing both internal and external factors is essential for students to overcome challenges and enhance their ability to create mathematical models from real-world contexts. The recommended role of the productive struggle learning approach is crucial in assisting students in achieving the expected milestones.

Abstract

Problem solving ability is the ability that allows students to use understanding and facts to solve math problems. Productive struggle is the attitude shown by students when overcoming the difficulties they experience. This study aims to investigate and analyze problem solving ability based on students' productive struggle in solving contextual problems. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through problem solving ability tests, questionnaires regarding productive struggle, and interviews. The research subjects consisted of VIII grade students in several junior high schools. Data analysis was conducted by detailing test results, examining questionnaire responses, and analyzing interviews. The subjects were collected and selected based on the categories of high, medium and low productive struggle. This shows that the problem-solving ability of subjects with high productive struggle is very good, while subjects with medium and low struggle have not shown good things in problem solving ability. This is due to how to overcome the difficulties experienced by students.
