Abstract

Visual images are frequently utilized to elucidate concepts in general mathematics and geometry; however, their application in mathematical analysis remains uncommon. This paper demonstrates how visual imagery can enhance the proof of certain theorems in mathematical analysis. It emphasizes the importance of visualization in the learning and understanding of mathematical concepts, particularly within mathematical analysis, where diagrams are seldom employed. The paper focuses on the reasoning processes used by mathematicians in proving selected fundamental theorems of mathematical analysis. It provides illustrative examples where visual images are instrumental in performing specific subtasks within proof development and in completing the proofs. The proofs discussed include the sum of the first n natural numbers, the sum rule of integration, the mean value theorem for derivatives, the mean value theorem for integrals, and Young’s Inequality. This paper underscores that visual images serve not only as persuasive tools but also as bridges between symbolic representations and real-world understanding.

Abstract

Complex Mathematical Problem Solving (CMPS) is a crucial competency that equips students to navigate uncertain future situations. To enhance this skill, there is a need for more effective instructional models. One promising approach is Interactive Case-Based Learning (ICBL), an advanced iteration of the Case-Based Learning model. ICBL engages students with intricate real-world cases, enabling them to grasp mathematical concepts and adapt to novel and unfamiliar scenarios encountered in everyday life. This study aims to evaluate students' CMPS abilities following participation in ICBL-based instruction and to assess their responses to this instructional approach. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group and a control group. The participants were seventh-grade students studying sequences and series. The research utilized ICBL-based teaching materials, CMPS ability tests, and student response questionnaires. The study's findings are that students instructed using the ICBL model demonstrated superior CMPS abilities compared to those instructed using traditional methods, and students responded positively to the ICBL instructional model in mathematics learning. This research underscores that the ICBL model can significantly enhance students' ability to solve complex problems. Consequently, educators should consider incorporating the ICBL model into their teaching strategies, and curricula should be adapted to support its implementation.

Abstract

Statistical literacy is an essential skill for prospective teachers, as it equips them to become effective educators in an increasingly complex and multicultural society. However, many prospective teachers currently exhibit insufficient proficiency in this area. To address this issue, it is imperative to develop educational programs that prioritize statistical literacy to prepare students to be informed global citizens. This study explores the integration of South Sumatra's local wisdom into statistical literacy education, providing a culturally relevant context for enhancing these skills. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach consisting of four key stages: problem identification, inductive theorizing, hypothesis testing through observational data, and the processes of replication and refinement. Data collection methods included interviews and observations, which were analyzed qualitatively using triangulation techniques. The findings suggest that incorporating South Sumatra's local wisdom into statistical literacy education is feasible, provided the context meets specific criteria, such as it is rooted in the local wisdom of South Sumatra, it is meaningful and relevant to students, it holds significance for the student's learning experience, it actively engages students in classroom activities, it fosters students' abilities to articulate opinions on civic statistics and their social implications, and it involves statistical scenarios that can be effectively integrated into educational activities. This exploratory study contributes to the theoretical development of statistical literacy education by integrating local wisdom, specifically from South Sumatra, and by introducing these cultural elements to both national and international audiences.
