The Industrial Revolution 4.0 requires students to have Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). To achieve this aim, an effective learning models is needed with various cosiderations. Many studies have been conductes and provide different conclusions, so that new problems arise regarding which learning models is considered more influential in improving students’ HOTS. This study aims to find, compared, and analyzed learning models that have been used in improved HOTS at the junior high school level. The method used being narrative meta-analysis. The subjects of this study were 2 (two) articles that met inclusion criteria and had passed the PRISMA procedure. The result showed that the effect size values for each group of Project Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by Geogebra, Challenges Based Learning (CBL) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) were 3.27, 2.25, and 1.09. This shows that PjBL assisted by Geogebra have a greater influence than other learning models because the synrax of the learning model applied and the learning media used.

This study investigated the relationship between motivation and performance in mathematics using Deci and Ryan's Self Determination Theory. The participants were 2,575 grade 11 students from 10 senior high schools in the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. The study employed a quantitative research approach and used a questionnaire and an achievement test to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The study found that only amotivation and introjection, among the five sub constructs of motivation considered in the study, recorded statistically significant contributions (p ˂ .05) to students’ achievement. Teachers, lecturers, and researchers may need to seek practical ways to promote intrinsic motivation in students for better engagement with mathematics. The study also indicated the likelihood of different kinds of amotivation with varied influences on the learning of mathematics. As a result, more investigation is required.

The low PISA Mathematics score of Indonesia was a strong background in this study. The results of the 2018 Mathematics PISA Indonesia scored 371, lower than the 2015 score of 386. This study is a qualitative study that aims to describe student errors in solving mathematical literacy problems on linear program material. The methods used documentation in the form of answer sheets, observations, and interviews. The validity of the data was obtained by using triangulation techniques from the three methods used. The research sample was taken by 25 students of class X SMA Negeri 4 Purworejo. The results of the research include: (1) as many as 20 students, or 80% of students, have not been able to formulate problems mathematically. Students have not been able to make an example of the problem correctly. (2) as many as 23 students, or 92% of students, have not been able to use mathematical concepts and, have not been able to write mathematical symbols (facts) correctly, have not been able to solve problems with correct mathematical principles and procedures. (3) as many as 22 students, or 88% of students, have not been able to make conclusions and evaluate the problems given. From these results, it can be said that 80% or more of students have not been able to solve math problems from the lowest stages of the literacy process.

This study aimed to describe students' mathematical problem solving ability based on self-efficacy and gender. The method used is descriptive qualitative through the provision of self-efficacy questionnaires, tests, interviews, and documentation. Six subjects were selected based on three levels of self-efficacy and gender from a total of 103 students in one class XI MIPA from three different schools. Research subjects were determined using a purposive sampling technique based on the Rasch model analysis. The test results of the subjects were analyzed using four Polya stages consisting of understanding the problem, making a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. The results of this study indicate that (1) subjects with high levels of self-efficacy can fulfill all indicators systematically, confidently, and never give up where females are better than males; (2) subjects with medium levels of self-efficacy can fulfill three indicators well and confident, in which males are better than females; (3) subjects with low levels of self-efficacy only fulfill one indicator at making a plan which showed an attitude of giving up and not being confident, where females were better than males.

This study aims to describe students' analytical skills based upon gender differences. Bloom's Taxonomy analyze category is the basis for determining the level of analytical skills. According to Bloom's Taxonomy, analytical skills consist of three cognitive processes: differentiating, organizing, and attributing. This type of research was qualitative, with the research subject as many as six students on the number material. This research was conducted on seventh-grade students at one of the junior high schools (SMP) in South Sumatra. Research subjects were determined reached from the results of initial mathematical abilities consisting of two students with high initial abilities, two medium early abilities, and one low initial ability. The study's results revealed that students’ analytical skills of girls were better than boys. Girls fulfill all cognitive processes of analytical skills. In contrast, in solving number problems, boys only achieve some of the cognitive analytical skills process.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the ability to understand mathematical concepts in Blended Learning and to determine the pattern of ability to understand mathematical concepts in terms of students' confidence in Blended Learning. The research method used is experimental research with a sequential explanatory strategy. The population of this study was class VII students of Junior High School 28 Semarang for the academic year 2020/2021, with the research sample being class VII A (experimental class) and class C (control class); sampling was done using a simple random sampling technique. Subjects to obtain quantitative data, namely students from the experimental class, were selected by nine students based on the grouping of the results of the self-confidence questionnaire. The data obtained from the calculation of quantitative data, namely the results of the study, show that Blended Learning is effective for improving students' understanding of mathematical concepts. In the analysis of test results and interviews, triangulation was carried out, namely based on the level of student confidence showing the pattern of students' ability to understand mathematical concepts, namely students with high levels of confidence had good mathematical concept skills, those with moderate confidence levels had sufficient mathematical concept understanding abilities, while students with low self-confidence, lack of mastery of the ability to understand mathematical concepts they have. It can be concluded that the higher the students' self-confidence, the more confident they will be in solving problems with their ability to understand mathematical concepts.

This research aimed (1) to analyze the effectiveness of Probing Prompting learning on students' mathematical critical thinking skills and (2) to describe mathematical critical thinking skills in terms of students' learning motivation in learning with the Probing Prompting model. This research method was a combination research method (mixed method) with the type of Explanatory Sequential Design. The results showed that: (1) the mathematical critical thinking ability of the Probing Prompting class achieved classical completeness; (2) the proportion of mathematical critical thinking skills in the Probing Prompting class is more than the proportion of mathematical critical thinking skills in the Problem Based Learning class; (3) the average mathematical critical thinking ability of the Probing Prompting class is more than the average mathematical critical thinking ability of the Problem Based Learning class. Subjects with high learning motivation are able to meet all indicators of mathematical critical thinking skills, namely indicators of clarification, assessment, inference, and strategies. Subjects with moderate learning motivation tend to be able to fulfill the clarification indicators; less able to meet the assessment indicators; tend to be able to meet the inference indicators; and able to meet the indicators of strategies. Subjects with low learning motivation tend to be able to fulfill the indicators of clarification, less able to meet the assessment indicators, less able to meet the inference indicators, and tend to be able to meet the indicators of strategies.
