Abstract

This study aims to explore the abductive reasoning strategies used by prospective mathematics teachers in proving and refuting mathematical statements. This study used a qualitative method with a case study design. Fourteen third-year prospective mathematics teachers were involved in this study and were then grouped according to the characteristics of the type of abductive reasoning they used. Data collection techniques included tests given to all prospective mathematics teachers and interviews conducted with five prospective mathematics teachers selected based on their type of abductive reasoning. The data obtained was analyzed through stages that included data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Technique triangulation was used to check the validity of the research findings. In general, it was found that the types of abductive reasoning strategies used by prospective mathematics teachers in proving included fact optimization and mistaken fact. Meanwhile, in refuting mathematical statements, there are three types of abductive reasoning used by students, consisting of fact optimization, mistaken fact, and factual error. The results of this study provide insight into how abductive reasoning contributes to formulating mathematical conjectures and can help educators design relevant learning strategies to support the improvement of students' proof and refutation abilities

Abstract

Mathematics anxiety is a psychological condition that affects students’ learning processes and is characterized by feelings of anxiety, tension, or fear when dealing with mathematics. This study aims to analyze the causes of students’ mathematics anxiety and identify possible strategies to address it based on evidence from students and teachers. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, supported by descriptive data from a mathematics anxiety questionnaire. The participants were 39 students from Class XI F at SMAN 17 Bandung, with six students selected for interviews based on their anxiety levels. Data were collected through the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS) questionnaire, semi-structured interviews with students and teachers, and classroom observations. The questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively, while interview and observation data were analyzed thematically. The results showed that 66.67% of students experienced moderate anxiety, 25.64% experienced low anxiety, and 7.69% experienced high anxiety. The dominant indicator was cognitive disturbance at 59%, followed by negative attitudes toward mathematics at 58% and somatic symptoms at 54%. The factors causing mathematics anxiety included internal factors, such as insufficient mastery of prerequisite material, learning style, and fear of making mistakes, as well as external factors, such as fast-paced learning, curriculum pressure, peer competition, and parental expectations. The possible strategies to reduce mathematics anxiety include cognitive support through self-regulated learning and heterogeneous group learning, emotional support through positive affirmation and collaborative learning, and pedagogical adaptations through multimodal learning, remedial instruction, and constructivist approaches. These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychological and pedagogical support to reduce mathematics anxiety in school mathematics learning.

Abstract

The ability to construct mathematical proofs is one of the essential competencies in mathematics learning at the university level. Understanding the process of constructing mathematical proofs cannot be achieved solely through cognitive aspects, but also requires attention to students’ affective aspects. This study aims to examine affective aspects in the form of students’ beliefs and self-confidence in constructing mathematical proofs. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects were 42 second-semester students at a public university in Indonesia who had completed a Number Theory course. Data were collected through a written test consisting of mathematical proof problems and semi-structured interviews. For in-depth analysis, three students were purposively selected to represent variations in the mathematical proof construction process. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method by examining students’ beliefs and self-confidence during the process of constructing mathematical proofs. The results show that students’ beliefs can be classified into three categories based on each proof construction process they performed. In addition, students’ self-confidence is also grouped into three categories, ranging from confidence associated with reaching answers quickly despite being incorrect, to confidence demonstrated through the ability to explain and defend the proof construction process in a coherent and convincing manner. These findings emphasize the important role of affective aspects, in addition to cognitive aspects, in understanding students’ behavior in constructing mathematical proofs.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a diagnostic analysis of students by mapping their numeracy literacy (NL) and Mathematical Habits of Mind (MHOM) profiles, as well as examining the relationship between the two in solving non-routine problems. A mixed methods approach with a cross-sectional diagnostic design was employed, involving 120 elementary school students from three schools. Data were collected through a numeracy literacy diagnostic test, an MHOM questionnaire, structured observations, and in-depth interviews. The results indicate that students’ numeracy literacy ability falls into the moderately low category, with an average mastery percentage of 46.13%. The main weakness was found in the interpreting process, with a mastery percentage of 34.45%, while students showed relatively better performance in the applying process. The MHOM profile was in the moderate category, with relatively high scores in perseverance and working accurately, but low scores in seeking patterns and flexible thinking. The correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between overall numeracy literacy and Mathematical Habits of Mind (r = 0.582, p < .001). Qualitative findings further showed that students with weak flexible thinking tended to repeat ineffective procedures when facing unfamiliar or non-routine problems. These findings indicate that students’ numeracy literacy difficulties are not only related to content mastery but also to dispositional barriers, particularly limited flexible thinking. This study contributes by providing a diagnostic mapping that links numeracy literacy difficulties with students’ Mathematical Habits of Mind. The findings suggest that instructional interventions should strengthen flexible thinking and pattern seeking to support students’ functional numeracy literacy.

Abstract

Mathematical conceptual understanding is an essential ability that enables students to interpret, connect, represent, and apply mathematical ideas. However, students still experience difficulties in developing this ability, partly due to procedural and teacher-centered learning practices. This study aimed to design and develop a Moodle-integrated Flipped Classroom and evaluate its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in enhancing students’ mathematical conceptual understanding on geometric transformation material. This study employed a Research and Development approach using the Plomp model, consisting of preliminary research, prototyping, and assessment phases. The participants were 32 eighth-grade students at one state junior high school in Medan, North Sumatra. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, teacher and student practicality questionnaires, Moodle log activity data, and pre-test and post-test instruments. The results showed that the Moodle-integrated Flipped Classroom was very valid with a score of 90.6%, very practical with a score of 86.3%, and effective based on the predetermined effectiveness criterion, as indicated by a moderate N-Gain score of 0.51. Learning analytics data showed high student engagement, including a 90.6% video completion rate, an 89.6% quiz completion rate, and 288 forum interactions with a 1.8:1 reply-to-post ratio. The highest improvements occurred in connecting mathematical concepts and applying concepts in new situations. These findings indicate that a systematically designed Moodle-integrated Flipped Classroom can support students’ mathematical conceptual understanding through structured independent learning, interactive activities, and collaborative discussion.

Abstract

Mathematical communication ability is one of the important abilities in mathematics learning because it enables students to express mathematical ideas, represent contextual problems into mathematical models, use appropriate mathematical symbols, and write conclusions from problem-solving. However, students’ mathematical communication ability remains relatively low, especially in solving contextual problems related to statistics. This study aimed to develop a Problem-Based Learning teaching module on measures of central tendency and data dispersion that is valid and practical for facilitating students’ mathematical communication ability. This research used a Research and Development approach with the 4D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The teaching module and its supplementary student worksheets were validated by three experts and evaluated through one-on-one evaluation, small group trial, and large group trial at SMP Negeri 3 Mandau. The validation results showed that the teaching module obtained an average score of 3.65 and was categorized as very valid, while the student worksheets obtained an average score of 3.61 and were also categorized as very valid. The practicality results showed that the student worksheets obtained an average score of 3.52 in the small group trial and 3.53 in the large group trial, both categorized as very practical. These findings indicate that the developed teaching module meets the criteria of validity and practicality and can be used as a learning resource to facilitate students’ mathematical communication ability.

Abstract

Mathematical communication ability is an essential competency in mathematics learning because it enables students to express mathematical ideas, use representations, and explain solution procedures systematically. However, many students still experience difficulties in communicating mathematical ideas due to teacher-centered learning and limited interactive activities. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Wordwall-integrated mathematics learning on students’ mathematical communication ability. This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population consisted of seventh-grade students at Yasiriyah Private Junior High School Medan, with a sample of 50 students divided into an experimental class and a control class, each consisting of 25 students. The research instrument was an essay test based on indicators of mathematical communication ability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, N-Gain analysis, normality and homogeneity tests, and an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a higher improvement than the control class, with a mean N-Gain score of 0.74 in the high category, while the control class obtained 0.39 in the moderate category. The independent sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two classes. Improvements were found in all indicators, with the highest improvement in explaining solution procedures systematically. These findings indicate that Wordwall-integrated mathematics learning is effective in improving students’ mathematical communication ability and can support more interactive and student-centered learning.
