Abstract

Although geometry is important in mathematics education, many students have difficulty understanding and applying its concepts, which can affect their academic performance. This study analyzes students' difficulties in solving problems related to understanding elementary school geometry concepts. Assessment of the concept understanding aspect aims to decide the extent of students' ability in understanding mathematical concepts with indicators of the causes of students making mistakes in solving problems based on the Newman procedure: a) reading errors; b) comprehension errors; c) transformation errors; d) process skills errors and; e) encoding errors. This study is a qualitative study with a case study to analyze elementary school students' understanding of mathematical concepts in solving problems about flat shapes. In deciding the subjects of this study, a purposive sampling technique was used by selecting and sorting subjects that met the predetermined criteria. The subjects of this study were all fifth-grade students at an elementary school in Bandung Regency, totaling 33 students. The instrument in this study was a test of understanding mathematical concepts about shapes. The results showed that students who experienced reading errors were 9.09%, comprehension errors were 30.03%, transformation errors were 51.51%, process skill errors were 39.39%, and encoding errors were 30.03%.

Abstract

Through a bibliometric approach, this study aims to analyze trends, main focuses, and potential future research themes related to critical and creative thinking skills in mathematics learning at the elementary school level. The data were obtained from the Scopus database covering the years 1997–2025 with the search keywords "critical thinking" OR "creative thinking" AND math* AND "elementary school", resulting in 125 documents analyzed using Biblioshiny R and VOSviewer software. The analysis results show that publications on this topic have increased significantly since 2016, with Indonesia having the highest number of publications. However, the United States and Taiwan dominate in terms of citation impact. Four main clusters were identified: innovative learning approaches (including STEM and problem-based learning), elementary education contexts, curriculum development and engineering education, and strengthening critical thinking skills through geometry and problem solving. Bibliometric visualization also shows that topics such as "creative thinking", "teaching and learning", and "educational computing" are growing and promising areas for further research. This study recommends integrating interdisciplinary and technological approaches in curriculum development and the need for increased international collaboration to strengthen research impact. These findings provide an important contribution to mapping the scientific landscape and the direction of developing mathematics learning that fosters higher-order thinking skills from an elementary school.
