Abstract

The instructional model is a crucial component in the educational process. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Group Investigation learning model in enhancing students' mathematics outcomes. A quantitative research method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design was used, involving 29 eighth-grade students. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, revealing a pretest score of 0.010 and a posttest score of 0.063 after implementing the Group Investigation model. The average posttest score was 77.91, indicating a significant impact on learning outcomes. Observations over three sessions showed an increase in student participation from 26.97% with an average score of 2.24 in Session I (categorized as "Less Active") to 42.79% with an average score of 3.56 in Session II, and 45.38% with an average score of 3.78 in Session III (both categorized as "Active"). This increase demonstrates that the Group Investigation model not only enhances student participation but also makes students more active in learning, thereby improving mathematics outcomes. Therefore, the Group Investigation model is an effective strategy for enhancing students' achievement in mathematics. Further research with more refined methods and tools is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Students often experience difficulties in learning mathematics, particularly in solving word problems. Consequently, students make many errors when answering story questions in mathematics. The aim of this research is to describe students' mistakes according to Polya's theory in solving story problems on three-dimensional geometry materials. Student mistakes identified in Polya's theory include: understanding the problem, planning a solution, implementing the solution plan, and re-examining the obtained solution. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The technique used is an interactive data analysis model from Miles & Huberman, which consists of four steps in analysis activities: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion synthesis. The subjects of this research were 20 students from the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program. The instruments used in this research are tests in the form of problem-solving questions and non-test instruments, including interviews. The results of the research indicate that many students made errors during the re-examination stage, primarily due to a lack of thoroughness in recording the conclusions from their calculations. For this reason, it is necessary to develop learning methods or models that improve the ability to understand concepts, use a variety of problem-solving strategies, and develop thinking process skills that can help reduce errors in solving mathematical problems.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of the computational mathematical thinking abilities of male and female students in solving mathematical problems and the aspects (abstraction, decomposition, algorithmic thinking, and generalization) that influence these differences. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach in a junior high school in Jakarta for the academic year 2023/2024. The participants in this study are 36 students. Data were collected through written examinations and interviews and analyzed using the triangulation technique. The results of the study showed different patterns of computational thinking skills between male and female students. Male students excel in decomposition and algorithmic thinking but are weak in abstraction and generalization. Female students excel in abstraction and decomposition but are weak in algorithmic thinking and generalization. Both male and female students master the context of decomposition for computational thinking skills but lack mastery in the context of generalization. In conclusion, gender differences influence specific aspects of computational thinking skills, indicating the need for tailored educational strategies to address these differences.
