Abstract

Many factors influence student academic achievement, including tutoring and learning motivation. This research aimed to describe the influence of tutoring and learning motivation on Year 8 students’ mathematics achievement in one of the junior high schools in Ruteng, Indonesia in the academic year of 2019/2020. This descriptive research with survey design involved 66 students. Data were collected by administering a student questionnaire consisting of 20 questions. The 5-point Likert scale questionnaire used in this research focused on two categories: tutoring and learning motivation. The final semester test scores were used as the data on students' achievement in learning mathematics. The results revealed that the two factors were positively related to students' mathematics achievement; both contributed to student achievement by 18.49%. These findings confirm that tutoring and students’ motivation from teachers or parents are essential because both mediate student achievement. These results provide meaningful knowledge about the importance of teachers or parents providing structured tutoring to support the mathematics achievement of junior high school students.

Abstract

The development of Technology, Information and Communication (ICT) in education has been growing considerably. Use of technologies contribute to supporting student learning and play a vital role in the learning process. The Covid-19 pandemic, since early 2020, has impacted the implementation of the learning process, especially in higher education. The learning instruction has shifted from face-to-face to online learning (e-learning). It is undeniable that the learning process experiences disruptions, resulting in significant changes in the learning environment. Thus, the flipped classroom model is likely to be on model for educators in higher education. This study aims to investigate an increase in the statistical reasoning abilities of engineering students taught using the flipped classroom model assisted by SPSS and STATCAL applications analyzed based on gender. Participants involved 55 first-year informatics engineering students. Data were collected using a test in the form of essay questions and then analyzed using the stacking method of the Rasch measurement model. The results showed that the statistical reasoning abilities of students improved after being taught using the flipped classroom model with the SPSS and STATCAL applications. This finding implies that the flipped classroom model assisted by SPSS and STATCAL applications is effectively implemented in technology-integrated statistics learning.

Abstract

Effective school leadership is critical for school success. Teachers as leaders have extraordinary influences not only in their classrooms but also in the general school framework. The aspect of teacher leadership provides self-knowledge and the courage to act on that knowledge. However, there is no consensus on what defines teacher leaders and the specific qualities that characterise them. In this study, the insights of twelve conveniently sampled graduate teacher candidates in one of the teacher training institutions in Brunei Darussalam were explored. They were asked to describe the ideal leadership qualities that a secondary school mathematics teacher leader should possess. There were many variations in their responses. However, the overarching finding was that mathematics teacher leaders should have ideal qualities that make them functional within and outside of the classroom. Key attributes such as effective classroom management, content and pedagogical knowledge, effective communication and problem-solving skills, and the ability to contribute to maintaining a healthy school-community partnership were mentioned. This study concluded that in defining teacher leadership, it is essential to define the concept based on teachers’ ability to influence others to achieve set goals within and outside of the classroom.

Abstract

A tambourine is one of the musical instruments commonly used in Islam. It is also used in an extracurricular activity in various schools so that many students are familiar with the instrument, making it relevant for learning mathematics. Furthermore, there is an approach to learning mathematics called Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (IRME), where students start the learning with contexts close to their lives. This study aims to design a learning trajectory using the IRME approach with a tambourine context to support students' understanding of circles. This learning progresses from the informal stage to the formal through the IRME approach. The study applied design research with three stages: preliminary design, design experiments, and retrospective analysis. The research subjects were 19 six-grade students in one of the elementary schools in Balangan, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The instruments used were videos to observe the learning process and how students work on the questions given, photos to reference students’ work, and a test in a student worksheet to obtain data on students’ work. The results reveal the learning trajectory practised using the tambourine as the context seen in the student's daily activities. The learning trajectory consists of four events: assembling the tambourine, drawing an illustration of the tambourine, listing the parts of a circle, and solving a problem related to the parts of the circle. In addition, this study also shows that learning trajectory activities have essential roles in supporting students' understanding of the concept of a circle.

Abstract

Equivalent fraction is a sub-topic of fractions that highly contributes to explaining the basic concepts of fractions. However, this topic is one of the most challenging topics for students as it involves an advanced and formal concept and various representations. This study aims to present the preliminary result of the learning trajectory on equivalent fractions. This design research consisted of three stages: preparation, implementation, and retrospective analysis. The learning trajectory in the form of a hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) was designed in the context of measuring cups. The data was collected through documentation, interviews, and class observations. The HLT was implemented to investigate students’ actual learning trajectories. The findings showed that the measuring cup context assists students to easily perceive those different fractions may have the same quantity (equivalent fractions). The learning trajectory consists of two activities. The first one aims to introduce a measurement concept of fractions to students. The second one aims to help students construct the concept of equivalent fractions. Finally, the study findings contribute to further development of learning trajectory on equivalent fractions.

Abstract

Students often find mathematics a challenging subject and turn it into a scourge for them. Game-based learning, such as “24-card game”, help engage students in a self-paced and fun learning process and thus may overcome students’ math anxiety and promote mental math skills. This research aims to examine how the 24-card game works using the Monte Carlo method and the possibility to overcome students' mathematics anxiety. The meta-analysis method was used to explain Monte Carlo’s simulation to solve the solution for all possible combinations of cards in the game and respectively assign difficulty levels. The student's proficiency level was evaluated based on the divergence value in the number of guesses required to solve the dealt combination at 87% to show full proficiency. The evaluation could also show the math difficulty of advanced operations, such as fractions and grouping games. This game is more efficient in developing students' mental math skills compared to a conventional and rigidly structured classroom lecture.

Abstract

This paper aims to address some implications for mathematics education regarding the financial and economic implications of the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We use the term financial numeracy to refer to the quantitative aspect of financial education while also arguing for it to be considered a domain of mathematics education. Financial numeracy entails three dimensions: contextual, conceptual, and systemic. We bring three examples of financial implications of the crisis in different countries. Based on these examples, we constructed learning situations that reflect the distinct orientations of each dimension of financial numeracy to clarify the teaching of such a concept in school mathematics. Particularly in a time of crisis, mathematics education must address immediate needs of society as well as contribute to overcoming social challenges. We hope that financial numeracy brings innovative solutions to teach mathematics in a way that helps individuals and communities produce and manage resources while protecting the planet.

Abstract

Mathematics cannot be separated from human life. However, mathematics is often taught directly through formulas and abstract mathematical forms at school and is less associated with students' daily lives. Hence, it makes it difficult for students to understand mathematics and often find it difficult to understand how mathematics can be useful in dealing with various problems in real life. Therefore, school mathematics needs to be reconnected with the reality of human life so that students can easily understand mathematics and use it to solve various daily life problems. This study explores ethnomathematics in Javanese culture, especially in the Gringsing batik motif. The ethnographic method was employed in this study, and the data was collected through literature review, observation, and interviews. The data was then analyzed before and according to the conditions in the field. The results showed that the Gringsing batik motif contains philosophical meanings, cultural values, and mathematical elements of plane shapes and geometric transformations. This research contributes to the context of learning mathematics. In addition, it also increases the knowledge of mathematics and culture and can be used as a reference in learning or similar research.

Abstract

Often general, and frequently involving scholarly concepts, research questions are the cornerstone of studies. Thus, from their precise wording to their context, research questions play a vital role in uncovering information, determining answers given by participants, and drawing conclusions. However, poorly structured research questions and misalignments to purpose within theoretical and empirical studies can lead to miscommunication and unanswered queries. To this point, this paper discusses the importance of asking purposeful researchable questions in mathematics education and examines what purposeful questioning in mathematics education using quantitative and qualitative research designs entails. An extensive review of literature, is presented with the purpose of identifying strategies for asking purposeful questions, exploring various criteria for judging researchable questions in mathematics education, and discussing the importance of aligning research questions to methodology and frameworks. The key findings reveal that ambiguities of language and the powerful force of context in interpreting the meaning of questions and answers could influence the impact of studies. Implications exist for mathematics and science education scholars who, face various challenges in asking questions that will produce what they want to know. The paper concludes with a brief discussion as to the significance and possibilities of purposeful researchable questions in mathematics education.

Abstract

Inspiration plays a significant role in sparking or enhancing the learning motivation of prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs). Inspiration will also influence the mathematical identity of PMTs’ when they become professional mathematics teachers. A mathematics teacher educator (MTE) can be a source of inspiration for PMTs; hence, a study must identify and explain why an MTE is considered inspiring. This study attempts to develop the theory of inspiring MTEs profiles based on the experience of PMTs. This study included 21 students and 7 lecturers of the Mathematics Education Department in a public university in Indonesia. This qualitative research was conducted employing a grounded theory constructivist approach. The findings revealed that inspiring MTEs possessed the following characteristics: “creating a sense of comfort, being knowledgeable, being motivating, providing fun and enjoyable learning, imparting new insights and comprehension, and being disciplined and authoritative.” According to this theory, an inspiring MTE creates a sense of comfort through their gracious, friendly, humble, and humorous personality. Fun and enjoyable learning in this study is learning that provide a sense of comfort, fun learning, interactive learning, and carrying out evaluations. MTEs give new insight and understanding by explaining in detail, systematically, and easily understood, sharing creative ideas, and providing scaffolding. Implications of this finding are discussed.
