Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the test instrument used to measure the ability of students in the odd final exam in mathematics. Sampling using purposive sampling technique. These students consist of 398 students. The questions given are in the form of multiple-choice questions with a total of 40 items. The data analysis technique used quantitative descriptive analysis. Data analysis was carried out using the Item Response Theory (IRT) Rasch model approach with the help of QUEST software. The results of the analysis show, from 40 items there are 39 items fit with the Rasch model. Judging from the level of difficulty, items with very difficult categories are 0%, difficult categories are 8 items or 21%, moderate item categories are 23 items or 59%, easy categories are 8 items or 21%, and very easy categories are 0 %. The reliability of the estimatedvalue of the item is 0.95 with a very good category so that it affects the items that fit the model. Thehigher reliability, the more items that fit the model. The reliability of the case estimate value is 0.00with a weak category. This value indicates an inconsistency in the answers of the test takers, whichmeans that the test takers are careless in answering the questions, thus affecting the reliability ofthe questions.

Abstract

The 21st-century era, marked by the rapid development of information technology, requires students to be adaptive and have several skills that must be mastered to be able to compete in today's era. The important skills in the 21st century or so-called The 4C-skills consist of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, in general containing specific skills that need to be empowered in learning activities, such as problem-solving skills, critical thinking, communication skills, collaborating, innovation and creation, literacy, information metacognition, and various other skills. However, the reality in the field is based on the results of TIMSS and PISA, where this test measures the mathematics, science, and literacy skills of developed and developing countries, Indonesia's ranking is still in the lowest rank. The method used in this research is the literature study method, which examines the STEM principles, implementation strategies, and their prospects for improving scientific literacy skills. Based on the results, the success key while implementing STEM in the classroom is to prepare STEM educators with a conceptual understanding of the principles, frameworks, and strategies of integrated STEM implementation and learning theories from the four STEM fields. It should be integrated to increase the pedagogical skills and to mastery the technology as a learning support. Also, the development of professional experience for teachers in implementing STEM in various cross-materials is needed to provide a strong conceptual framework of an integrated STEM approach and build their confidence in teaching an integrated STEM approach. Hopefully, this article can provide a comprehensive overview of improving scientific literacy as one of the keys to improving the quality of quality education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Literatures revealed that the cognitive and affective components are the factors affecting problem solving. In this article we identified factors considered by the students in learning mathematical problem solving. Using a descriptive phenomenological research we explored the lived experiences of forty-five (45) student’s in solving a mathematics problem. Following the Colaizzi method for data analysis, four themes emerged: emotions and self- efficacy as affective factors, and group learning activity and teacher- student relationship as social factors. Sixty items from these four themes were further explored in using an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for a new set of 200 students. These four-factor structures of the student’s experiences in mathematics problem solving explained 66% of the variance in the pattern of relationships among the items. All four-factor structures had high reliabilities (all at or above Cronbach’s α > .904). The study exemplified that teacher- student interaction relationship during learning activities, which is a social factor, provides the highest correlated factor that influences the mathematical performance of the students.

Abstract

Proper handling of students’ errors in mathematics provides teaching and learning opportunities. Anchored in the Professional Error Competence Model developed by Wuttke and Siefried, this study investigated junior high school teachers’ beliefs, attitudes, and practices in handling students’ errors in their Mathematics class. The study employed a descriptive-correlational design and surveyed one hundred three Mathematics teachers from public secondary schools in Camarines Sur. A researcher-made survey questionnaire was used to gather the necessary data. All statistical analyses on the data collected, such as weighted mean, Pearson’s r, and Canonical Correlation Analysis were done using SPSS (version 21). The findings show that respondents frequently employed error detection, correction, and prevention strategies. It also demonstrates that both beliefs and attitudes correlated significantly with respondents’ error-handling practices. The study further reveals that the respondents’ attributes (age, sex, educational attainment, field of specialization, number of years in teaching mathematics, and seminars attended) contribute to their practices, beliefs, and attitudes in error handling. However, it is noted that as respondents grow older and gain more teaching experiences in Mathematics, certain error-handling practices, beliefs, and attitudes appear to diminish. It is therefore recommended that the frequency of error handling activities that facilitate learning should be increased further in a Mathematics class. School administrators should organize training programs that highlight the critical role of error handling in the learning process. They should also embark on benchmarking activities, mentoring, and coaching to expose teachers to error-handling strategies that promote an error-tolerant mathematics classroom where students have numerous opportunities to learn. Moreover, schools should provide students with opportunities to evaluate their teachers’ practices in handling errors. Finally, future researchers should perform actual observations on error handling practices to learn more about them in the classroom setting. They may also look into how teachers deal with errors in online education.

Abstract

Javanese context is rich of phenomena potentially used as a starting point to learn mathematics. On the other hand, the Indonesian students’ performance in PISA is consistently low due to the small number of PISA-like problems which can be used to foster the students’ mathematical literacy measured in PISA. Therefore, this research aims to develop a set of PISA-like problems using the Javanese context targeted for 8th-grade students of Junior High School. It is a development study using Plomp’s framework in the stage of need analysis and prototyping. We have successfully developed a prototype of PISA-like mathematics problems using Javanese context. There are six items covering seven basic competences in the 8th-grade of junior high school. The items used various mathematics skills such as communication, representation, mathematization, devising strategies, and reasoning. We could explore some Javanese contexts such as traditional building, transportation, calendar system, community meeting, and historical place. Meanwhile the school mathematics materials include number sequence, Cartesian coordinate, relation, linear function, linear equation system in two variables, and Pythagorean theorem.

Abstract

Generalization is the core of mathematical activities that are important to be taught to students. One of the material generalizations that are emphasized at the level of junior high school in Indonesia is the generalization of linear patterns. One strategy that is often used by students in generalizing linear patterns is a different strategy. However, many students do not know the usefulness of the difference in making general formulas, so that they are trapped in a recursive relationship. This problem can be overcome by analyzing the results of student work that has succeeded in generalizing linear patterns using different strategies. For this reason, this study aims to get a description of the characteristics of the different strategies of students who have succeeded in generalizing linear patterns. The approach that fits this research is a case study approach to 6 grade VIII junior high school students who successfully solved the problem of generalizing linear patterns using a different strategy. The results showed that there were six characteristics of different strategies used to generalize linear patterns, namely: (1) using the difference to be substituted into the nth term formula of an arithmetic sequence, (2) using the difference to substitute into linear pattern formula, (3) using difference as a multiple, (4) using the difference as a jump number, (5) using the difference to be placed in a different column, and (6) using the difference to determine the formula for generalizing linear patterns directly.

Abstract

The study was conducted to develop the best fit model of mathematical ability.  Specifically, it established the relationship among teachers’ competence, classroom environment, learning styles, and mathematical ability. Descriptive, correlational and causal comparative designs were utilized in this study.  The data were gathered from senior high school students. Moreover, sets of adopted survey questionnaires were used as instruments to obtain information from the participants. Mean, Pearson product moment correlation, multiple regression analysis and structural equation modeling were the statistical tool used.  The findings revealed that reflector and activist learner and role of students/peers found to be significant predictors of mathematical ability.  The best fit model of mathematical ability is best predicted by their learning styles and the classroom environment. The model suggests that that the more structured the learning style coupled with a conducive classroom environment the better the mathematical ability of the students.
