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

The modality transitioning introduced by the Department of Education (DepED) gave hope to teachers and students in ensuring quality education amidst pandemic, however, unveiled numerous challenges. The study was concerned in identifying and investigating challenges of the teachers in teaching the students of Bayugan National Comprehensive High School in accordance with its fresh implementation of limited face to face classes. A case study research design was utilized in formulating the research undertaking. Round Table Discussion (RTD) was used by the researcher to gather data relevant to the study. Three (3) Mathematics teachers participated in the RTD. Nineteen (19) virtual participants participated also in the discussion. The conduct of the discussion was held at Bayugan National Comprehensive High School (BNCHS) and was streamed via google meet. Participants’ perspective revealed that pedagogical strategies were not given attention especially majority of the schools in the Philippines offered modular distance learning as a modality. Learners’ performance during distance learning is comparatively low than that of those participating in limited face-to-face classes. While teachers were less equipped with pedagogical strategies for the students under modular distance learning modality, there is a need for determining the challenges encountered in modality transitioning offered in BNCHS.

Abstract

This study seeks to characterize the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge of novice lower secondary mathematics teachers who do and do not possess an educator certificate based on the components of Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), Content Knowledge (CK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). This research employed a case study approach conducted in two secondary schools in Merauke Regency. Two secondary mathematics teachers with a bachelor's degree in mathematics education and five years of teaching experience were recruited as participants. We collected data from learning classroom observation guidelines, learning-practice interviews, and task-based interviews. Findings show that certified teachers can implement learning according to the lesson plans that have been designed and can teach and answer questions about the assigned material effectively. Meanwhile, the uncertified teacher performs excellently using technology, such as proficiency with WhatsApp, Zoom, Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft PowerPoint, learning videos, and projectors. In contrast, regarding pedagogical and material abilities, the non-certified teachers have yet to be able to apply lesson plans to learning and continue to struggle to answer some predetermined questions.

Abstract

This paper demonstrates a teacher-as-researcher intervention study of Student Self-Assessment, utilizing  GeoGebra  activities on  the topic of relationships of geometric figures. The teacher researcher studied students’ achievements and self-directed learning by including Student Self-Assessment (SSA) and by teaching procedural knowledge and conceptual knowledge using eleven GeoGebra-based tasks at the same time. The data were collected via questionnaire,  interview, as well  as two  tests  which  were  given  after  task 6 and  task  11 were  completed. The  teacher  researcher  oversaw  the  progress  of  the 24 Thai male and female junior high mathematics students  (13-14  years old), and offered prompt guidance and support using normal  classroom techniques.The  findings  indicated  that  the utilization  of SSA and  GeoGebra  had  a  positive  impact  on  these  students'  academic performance  and  their  ability  to  take  charge  of  their  learning  in  mathematics classes. Specifically,  the  intervention  led  to 1) improved communication between student and teacher;  2) improved students’ understanding of what they needed to  learn;  3) improved students’ confidence to ask for help from the teacher;  4) promoted student  achievement; and 5) promoted self-directed learning in mathematics lessons.

Abstract

This  study  evaluated  the  impact  of  integrating  students'  cultural  backgrounds  into  online learning to improve understanding and participation. It employed "Simple House Theory" and projective  geometry  in  designing  traditional  houses  to  make  complex  mathematical  concepts relatable. The Ethnomathematics project and the Hypnoteaching model were two instructional strategies  that  successfully  enhanced  active  student  participation  in  distance  learning.Data was  collected  from  a  joint  course  between Universitas  Negeri  Makassar  (UNM  Makassar), Indonesia,  and Tunghai  University,  Taiwan.  The  study  involved  36  students:  20  from  UNM Makassar’s international mathematics education program (Group I) and 16 from Tunghai University’s applied mathematics department (Group II). Various tools like surveys, tests, and projects  were  employed  for  data  collection.  The  survey  had  23  Likert-scale  questions, allowing a thorough evaluation of student feedback. Quantitative analysis of this data revealed that   incorporating   the Ethnomathematics   projects   and   Hypnoteaching   model   into   the curriculum significantly  increased  student  engagement  in  remote  learning.  This  was  further evidenced  by  improved  student  performance  in  project  work.  The  research  underscores  the benefits of culturally relevant teaching  methods in enhancing engagement and understanding in  online  mathematics  education.  It  highlights  the  effectiveness  of  embedding  local  cultural elements into online learning environments, creating more engaging and relatable experiences. The  study  suggests  the  potential  of  these  approaches  in  other  educational  contexts  and disciplines for future research.

Abstract

This article examines the studies investigating the teacher’s mathematics knowledge  of teaching  by  secondary  preservice teachers  in Papua  New  Guinea. Previous  research  on Mathematics  Knowledge  for  Teaching  provided  support  for  the  study.  This  study  was conducted  in  recognition  of  the  ongoing  problems  with Papua  New  Guinea's  curriculum, particularly the  teaching  of  science  and  mathematics,  which  have  led  to  a  drop  in  students' performance  in  these  subjects.  Subject  Matter  Knowledge  (SMK)  and  Pedagogical  Content Knowledge  (PCK)  are  the  two  main  domains  that  have  been  identified.  These  domains  are further  subdivided  into  Knowledge  of  Content  and  Students  (KCS),  Knowledge  of  Content and Teaching (KCT), and Knowledge of Content and Curriculum (KCC), respectively. Other subdivided   areas   include   Common   Content   Knowledge   (CCK),   Specialized   Content Knowledge  (SCK),  and  Horizon  Content  Knowledge  (HCK).  To determine  the  relationship between  SMK  and  PCK,  research  questionnaires  were  utilized  as  instruments  that  could accommodate  the  various  areas  of  SMK  and  PCK. Given  that  the  P-value  is  0.22>0.05,  the study's  findings  indicate  a  marginally  significant  difference  in  SMK  between  years  one  and four.  However,  since  the  P-value  was  0.007<0.05,  it  was  discovered  that  year  fours  have higher  PCK  than  year  one.  Ultimately,  the  study  has  demonstrated  that  fourth  years  have higher   MKT   than   first   years.   The   diligent   work   of   final-yearpreservice   teachers   in mathematics  is  what  caused  this  difference.  It  is  advised  that  the  mathematics  curricula  in teacher  colleges  be  reviewed  following the  findings  and  expanded  to  include  material  on SMK  and  PCK. The  Secondary  Teachers  College  Program  Specification  Document  must include both what and how to teach mathematics.
