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

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a theoretical framework in technology integration that is highly regarded in today's digital era. Using a descriptive research design, this study investigated 81 secondary mathematics teachers' use of available classroom technology and level of competence in the eight TPACK domains. The findings revealed that classroom technology was rarely employed. This was due to a combination of external and internal factors. While along the TPACK domains, the teachers obtained the highest level of competence in CK (M = 4.29, SD = .59) and lowest in TK (M = 3.69, SD = .70). One-way ANOVA uncovered that there was a highly significant difference in the level of competence along with TPACK domains. Furthermore, correlation and multiple regression analysis unveiled that the level of usage of classroom technology was discovered to be highly significant and served as the best predictor of TK (F(6, 74) = 6.17, p<.001), TPK (F(6, 74) = 6.39, p<.001), TCK (F(6, 74) = 4.30, p<.001), and TPACK (F(6, 74) = 2.65, p =.022). Implications of the findings and recommendations are discussed.

Abstract

In this study, two components of metacognition were examined, namely metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive skills. This study aims to analyse the students’ metacognitive abilities based on predetermined indicators, by looking at the relationship between the performance of metacognition knowledge and metacognition skill. The study discovers that the students with low, medium, and high scores perform differently. The conclusion is that students who have metacognition knowledge do not necessarily have metacognition skills or abilities.

Abstract

Language plays a fundamental role in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Students rely on their literacy skills to comprehend problem-solving situations before applying their mathematical knowledge. Unfortunately, there have been numerous reports of illiteracy, particularly in the area of communication, which is one of the most important skills in mathematical literacy. The students' lack of experience connecting formal mathematical language with their everyday language is one factor contributing to their communication illiteracy. To address this issue, the current study uses Desmos Polygraph as a tool to promote mathematical literacy by encouraging a thorough understanding of formal language. Desmos Polygraph's effective use encourages students to use formal language and understand the relationship between formal and informal language. This study, on the other hand, is solely concerned with analyzing the language used in the activity. Further research could assess the student-teacher interaction during the Desmos Polygraph activity to determine other potential in enhancing mathematical literacy.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the secondary Mathematics teachers’ level of ICT expertise, level of ICT use and students’ problem-solving skills. It employed two data collection tools: the Mathematics Teachers' Survey Questionnaire (MTSQ) and the Mathematics Assessment on Problem Solving (MAPS). The samples encompassed 40 Grade 7 Mathematics teachers and 2,439 Grade 7 students from three school divisions in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The results demonstrated that teachers are highly competent in basic ICT skills and applications, and they have positive beliefs about the use of ICT in teaching. However, because preparing ICT-enriched instruction takes more time, they only use ICT in teaching once or twice a week on average. According to the study's findings, teachers who are younger and have attended more ICT-related training are better equipped with ICT skills, use ICT in classroom instruction more frequently, and have a better disposition towards ICT integration in teaching. The study further discovered that when teachers believe they have a high level of ICT expertise, they are more likely to use ICT in their classrooms. Similarly, when teachers are more knowledgeable about using ICT, they are more inclined to support ICT integration in the classroom. Notably, the study reveals that students' problem-solving skills are significantly related to teachers' level of expertise, level of ICT use, and their beliefs about ICT integration.

Abstract

Teaching and learning in the 21st century should equip students with critical and creative thinking skills to be ready to live and contribute productively to society. One suitable learning approach is integrating STEAM education and computational thinking—the STEAM-CT approach. The present study aims to describe students' critical and creative thinking skills in STEAM-CT integrative learning. The descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study. The current study included 26 eighth-grade students from a private middle school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. According to the analysis, the students demonstrated critical and creative thinking skills during the integrative STEAM-CT learning process, particularly in planning problem solving, flexibility in providing problem solutions, and the aesthetics of their product designs. However, students must still be encouraged to conduct in-depth evaluations and use the results for improvement. For recommendation, to promote students' critical and creative thinking skills, feedback practices could be embedded in teaching and learning.

Abstract

Indonesia has reformed its assessment system from a national examination to a minimum competency assessment (AKM), focusing on literacy and numeracy skills. Such a change might significantly affect how teachers teach, especially novice ones. Hence, this study explores the strategies and challenges of six novice mathematics teachers as they prepare their students for the AKM. In this qualitative case study research, participants who were mathematics teachers, with no more than five years of teaching experience, were recruited through purposive sampling to engage in semi-structured interviews. Moreover, six lesson plans, before and after the announcement of the AKM, were collected to get a picture of how they modified their teaching and planning. The data from interviews and lesson plans were analysed through the thematic-analysis method to get two main findings. Initially, the novice teachers undertook proactive measures to prepare their students for the assessment. They employed a responsive teaching approach, adapted lesson plans, participated in professional development programmes, and conducted AKM courses. Nevertheless, their efforts were hindered by their limited teaching experience and inadequate professional development opportunities in numeracy instruction. These findings serve to enlighten educators, school administrators, and other stakeholders about the perceptions and challenges faced by teachers in light of assessment reform

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

Despite participating in PISA for more than 10 years, Indonesian students' mathematics achievements still tend to be low. On the other hand, PISA 2018 shows that students in two provinces, namely (1) Special Region of Yogyakarta, and (2) Special Region of Capital City Jakarta, exhibit higher mathematics achievement than students from other provinces. This research aim is to examine factors affecting students' mathematics performance in these three regions. We carried out statistical multilevel analysis with a random effects model using R software. Based on this analysis, we find differences in factors that influence students' mathematics achievement from three provinces. Variables that significantly influence students’ mathematics achievement in the three regions are parent support, home support, students' mastery goals, and students' competition. The only variables that were significant outside Special Region of Yogyakarta and Special Region of Capital City Jakarta were students' beliefs and students' ESCS. In the three provinces, the variables growth mindset, gender, and father's education level did not affect students' mathematics achievement.

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.
