Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) has been recognized as one of the essential skills of the 21st century and is increasingly being integrated into educational curricula in various countries. This study aims to analyze trends, challenges, and the impact of CT in mathematics education through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach of 41 selected articles from the Scopus database covering the period from 2019 to 2024. The analysis results show a significant increase in the number of publications related to CT in mathematics education, with the highest peak occurring in 2023. Scratch technology was identified as one of the most commonly used tools to support CT learning, although there was considerable variation in the types of technology used in the reviewed literature. The most frequently studied mathematics topics were geometry and number patterns, while topics such as trigonometry and measurement were still rarely explored. The findings also indicate that CT has a positive impact on the mathematics learning process, which can be grouped into three main areas: (1) CT's contribution to students' understanding and learning outcomes, (2) the role of digital technology in supporting the implementation of CT, and (3) the relationship between CT and the development of higher-order mathematical thinking skills. However, six categories of challenges in implementing CT in the classroom were also identified, including: (1) barriers to using technology for CT learning, (2) lack of training and guidance for teachers, and (3) limitations in infrastructure and supporting facilities. To address these challenges and optimize the potential of CT in transforming mathematics learning, close collaboration between researchers, educators, and policymakers is required.      Keywords: computational thinking, systematic literature review, mathematics learning.

Abstract

Understanding Students' Struggles in Solving Mathematical Problems: A Systematic Literature Review Using Polya’s Framework. Objective: This study aims to identify the specific challenges faced by students in solving mathematical problems at each stage of Polya's problem-solving framework: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. Methods: The research focuses on the context of mathematics education in Indonesia, using a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology. A total of 48 articles published in accredited journals (2019–2023) were systematically analyzed, based on inclusion criteria that involved Polya’s framework, the education levels of elementary to high school, and mathematical problem-solving contexts. Findings: Challenges at the understanding the problem stage include low motivation, lack of concentration, poor reading literacy, weak mathematical communication, conceptual misunderstandings, and reasoning deficiencies. In the devising a plan stage, students struggle with cognitive gaps, misconceptions, weak connections between mathematical concepts, difficulties in mathematical modeling, and lack of organizational skills. At the carrying out the plan stage, procedural errors, misconceptions, and inaccuracy are the primary obstacles. Finally, at the looking back stage, motivational issues, inadequate evaluation, errors in interpreting results, and lack of thoroughness persist. Conclusion:  This research highlights the need for targeted teaching strategies, such as strengthening students' reading literacy, addressing misconceptions, and fostering deeper conceptual understanding through collaborative and problem-based learning. Furthermore, the study emphasizes designing interventions tailored to each stage of Polya's framework to enhance students’ problem-solving abilities in mathematics education. Keywords: systematic literature review, mathematical problem solving, polya framework, student challenges.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v14.i3.2024118
