Core Subject : Education,
The Journal invites original research articles and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The whole spectrum of research in mathematics education are welcome, which includes, but is not limited to the following topics: Realistic Mathematics Education Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is a teaching and learning theory in mathematics education that was first introduced and developed by Freudenthal. There are two important points in RME; mathematics must be connected to reality and mathematics as a human activity. RME is implemented three principles, they are: (1) guided reinvention and progressive mathematizing, (2) didactical phenomenology, and (3) self-developed model. Furthermore, the practice of RME also has its own characteristics, they are: (1) phenomenological exploration or the use of contexts, (2) the use of models or bridging by vertical instruments, (3) the use of students own productions and constructions or students contribution, (4) the interactive character of the teaching process or interactivity, and (5) the intertwining of various learning strands. A paper is eligible to be included in this topic if the paper accommodates these three principles and these five characteristics. Joyful Learning in Mathematics Education The main goal of mathematics education in school is the mathematization of the child’s thought process through joyful learning. Learning should be something joyful because it is a perpetual growth process and self-reflection. Mathematics teachers are expected to develop ideas to motivate students by joyful activities, such as discovering, exploring, constructing, designing, setting strategy, and solving problems that are wrapped in mathematics games, puzzles, and hands-on activities. Integrating ICT in Mathematics Education The advance of information and communication technology (ICT) has been the concern of all human life, including in education. When all students use technology, education must be the first one to utilize it for the sake of effectiveness and attractiveness. The researches (ideas of research) on related topics could be traced to the works of Paul Drijvers, Willem J. Pelgrum, Tjeerd Plomp, Jean-Baptiste Lagrange, Michèle Artigue, Colette Laborde, Luc Trouche, and published books in Springer or other publishers. STEM Education Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) has been major topic of discussion in the field of education, due to the most esteemed fields to respond to the demand of 21st century. STEM education will be an important knowledge for teachers to educate future high-quality workforce. STEM education can be implemented in any level of education. The main principle of STEM education is Engineering Design Process (EDP). This principle consists of cyclic process: (1) Identifying problem, (2) Researching the problem, (3) Developing possible solutions, (4) Selecting promising solution, (5) Building the prototype, (6) Evaluating the prototype, (7) Redesigning. The idea research of STEM Education can be explored in Breiner, Harkness, Johnson, and Koehler; Sanders; and Bybee. Lesson Study Lesson Study is a well-known approach originated from Japan for action research in classroom by teachers. It is an effective model for teachers to join their activities to improve their teaching. This approach emphasizes the improvement of students’ mathematical thinking which involves three steps namely Plan-Do-See. The research (ideas of research) on related topics could be traced to the works of Fernandez and Yoshida, Lewis and Wang-Iverson and Yoshida. Teacher-made Mathematics Teaching Aids Students at times struggle with mathematics due to the abstract concepts involved. To help address this issue teachers can use physical objects, such as teaching aids, to make the concepts more relatable and understandable. It also provides opportunity for students to understand and internalize basic mathematial concepts through concrete objects and situations. A paper is eligible for this topic if it comprehensively explains the mathematics teaching aid made by the teachers and the learning opportunities offered to the students. Clinical Supervision Having strong educational leadership is known to be a major factor in improving student learning. By providing vision and development opportunities, educational leaders can help facilitate the conditions necessary for teachers to perform at their best. A good supervision involves activities that aids, directs and informs teachers of what should be done or have been done and not merely finding faults in the teachers’ teaching. A paper is eligible for inclusion in the clinical supervision if it provides a comprehensive description and analysis of every stage in the supervision process Differentiated Instruction Differentiated instruction is a teaching theory based on the premise that instructional approaches should vary and be adapted in relation to individual and diverse students in classrooms. Many classes consisting of students with diverse learning abilities require a teacher capable of designing teaching strategies that accommodate all learning styles. Therefore, the scope of differentiated instruction is an important part of the focus and scope of the journal. Teacher Professional Development Teacher professional development is defined as activities that develop an teacher’s skills, knowledge, expertise and other characteristics. The definition recognizes that development can be provided in many ways, ranging from the formal to the informal. It can be made available through external expertise in the form of courses, workshops or formal qualification programs, through collaboration between schools or teachers across schools (e.g. observational visits to other schools or teacher networks) or within the schools in which teachers work. In this last case, development can be provided through coaching/mentoring, collaborative planning and teaching, and the sharing of good practices. Classroom Action Research Classroom action research is a reflective process which helps teachers to explore and examine aspects of teaching and learning and to take action to change and improve. It begins with a question or questions about classroom experiences, issues, or challenges. Generally, classroom action research is consisting of 4 steps, namely, planning, action, observation, and reflection. Authors could submit their work, with a comprehensive description and analysis of every step.

Abstract

Empirical findings showed how the mathematical anxiety predicts the academic performance of learners. As a coping mechanism, learners are left with various choices in dealing with subjects involving mathematical concepts. One way of coping with these subjects is a preference for learning motivation strategies. The motivation strategies were categorized into cognitive, meta-cognitive, non-informational resources management and information resources management. However, there is scarce literature on how anxiety could predict the behaviour of an individual accommodation of these strategies. This led the researcher to investigate the predictive behaviour of mathematical anxiety on utilization of learning motivation strategies among senior high school students enrolled in the Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics  program. The program was crafted for students who  are inclined towards sciences and mathematics. Results revealed that respondents have a moderate level of anxiety. During the course, anxiety contributes to the level of anxiety of the respondents. The self-regulation strategy was the most commonly utilized learning motivation strategy among respondents, while peer learning was the least utilized among the learning  motivation strategies. However, the bivariate analysis showed anxiety was moderately related to rehearsal, organization, effort regulation, time and study environment, peer learning and help-seeking strategies. Regression analysis was also applied to reveal how anxiety predicts specific learning motivation strategies. Analysis disclosed that anxiety predicts the utilization of effort regulations strategies in learning mathematically inclined subjects. The findings provided a new perspective on how anxiety allows learners to utilize available strategies to understand various concepts. Teachers are encouraged to cultivate aculture of regulation, an environment conducive for learning, peer interaction and access to Internet-based or digital resources for learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a non-digital game based learning approach by assessing the differences in students’ achievement score between the pre-test and the post-test on the topic of multiplication and division with indices. A paired sample t-test was used to investigate a significant difference in the students’ achievements after implementing the non-digital game-based learning intervention. A total of 35 students from two classes of nine grade students in one of the secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam was involved in the study. Another aim of this study was to investigate the students’ perspectives on using a non-digital game-based learning approach in their learning process. This was analysed through the questionnaire  and  interviews. The results showed that the integration of a non-digital game-based learning approach in the mathematics lesson did have a positive effect on the students’ achievement scores. More than half of the students believed that the game has helped them to improve their Mathematical skills.

Abstract

Convergent and divergent thinking play an essential role in a person’s creative thinking process to solve problems, which highlights the significance of this research. Aside from that, these two types of thinking are related to the function of the brain’s hemispheres that will affect a person’s perspective in processing information. This research aims to get a view of convergent and divergent thinking in the mathematical creative thinking process in terms of brain dominance. The research was conducted using qualitative method with an exploratory descriptive approach. The instruments used are mathematical creative thinking test, brain dominance tests, and unstructured interviews. The research revealed that left-brain dominant students in the creative thinking process are more prominent in convergent thinking; the balance dominant students in the creative thinking process are balanced in divergent and convergent thinking, while right-brain dominant students in the creative thinking process are more adept in divergent thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and determine mathematical critical thinking skills based on students' self-esteem. This research used a mixed method with a sequential explanatory research design. The research population was first year mathematics education students who took geometry courses, and the research samples were selected by way of purposive sampling technique. Research subjects were grouped based on high, medium, and low self-esteem categories to be interviewed about students' critical thinking skills. The research instruments were tests and interviews. The results showed that students had various mathematical critical thinking skills in terms of self-esteem. Four students possessed a high level of self-esteem as indicated  by the fact that two students’ mathematical critical thinking skills results were classified in high category while the remaining two students were in medium category. Of 25 students who had moderate self-esteem, 5 students obtained high category in the results of their mathematical critical thinking skills, 14 students had their result in moderate category students, and 6 students were in the low category. Of 3 students with low self-esteem, one student had their results of the mathematical critical thinking ability result in the high category and two students had their result in the low category. It can be concluded that there is less significant correlation between self-esteem and students' critical thinking skills. Meanwhile, there are three different levels in students' critical thinking skills in terms of self-esteem at high, medium, and low levels.
