Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the CORE learning model toward students’ mathematical reasoning ability and describe the students’ mathematical reasoning ability through the application of the CORE learning model in terms of students’ thinking styles. This study used a mixed method with a concurrent embedded strategy and posttest-only control group design. The population in this study were the eight grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Patebon. Samples were taken by using a simple random technique and obtained VIII A class as an experimental and VIII C as a control class. Subjects of this study were determined by using the purposive technique and obtained two students from each thinking style category. Data collection techniques in this study were a test, questionnaire, interview, and documentation. The quantitative data analysis of this study used both initial and research data. Research data analysis consists of individual completeness tests, classical completeness tests, average difference tests, and proportional difference tests. Before testing the effectiveness of learning, the prerequisite test is conducted first, namely the normality and homogeneity test. The qualitative data analysis technique was carried out by using qualitative descriptive methods, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that (1) the implementation of the CORE learning model is effective towards students’ mathematical reasoning ability; and (2) subject with concrete sequential have good ability in mathematical reasoning; subject with abstract sequential tends to be very good in mathematical reasoning ability; subject with concrete random tends to be good in mathematical reasoning ability; subject with abstract random tends to have the low ability in mathematical reasoning.

Abstract

21st century learning students is required to be more active in learning than teachers, therefore this study aims to develop computer-based interactive learning media tutorials. This research used Research and Development (R & D) models and adapted from Borg and Gall. The learning media was validated by three validators using a validation sheet and obtained an average score is 3.55 (very valid) from the maximum scale of 4. Furthermore, revisions are made according to the suggestions and input of the validator. The revised learning media was tested with a questionnaire technique using a student response questionnaire sheet. The trial was carried out in two stages, namely product trials and usage trials. The first stage was product testing on six students and the percentage of practicality was 96.03%. The second stage was trial use on 28 students and the percentage was 97.62 (very practical). Then the product was revised according to the students' suggestions in the usage trial). Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that this computer-based mathematics learning media is valid and practical and can be used for students’ learning.

Abstract

This research considered the need to implement didactic materials during learning the Pythagorean theorem as one of the topics present in mathematics curricula around the world. The objective was to analyze the effect of the use of the geoboard in the learning of the Pythagorean theorem with high school students. The contributions of the theory of figurative concepts and concrete didactic materials were considered. The method used was a case study design by applying a task with concrete material with ten students. Among the main results, the construction of figures on the geoboard was obtained by analyzing the students' mental images. It was also possible to demonstrate visual skills and reasoning development when implementing this material. In conclusion, the effect of use of the geoboard in the study of the Pythagorean theorem allowed the recognition of the difference in the unit of measurement between the legs and the hypotenuse. Also, the development of the skills allowed the students to build the concept of the relationship between the figures built within the square of the hypotenuse with the area of the squares corresponding to the legs.

Abstract

The mathematical connection ability is the ability to use the relationship of ideas in mathematics and apply mathematical ideas in contexts outside of mathematics so that’s important because it can provide opportunities for meaningful learning. The background of this study was the wrong way of students' thinking and understanding so that causing errors in solving mathematical connection problems. This study aims to describe students' errors in solving mathematical connection problems on quadrilateral topics based on the Polya’s stages. This type of study was descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The data collection technique was carried out by giving participants tests and then conducting interviews with selected participants. The participants in this study were six students in junior high school, consisting of one student in class VIII and five students in class IX. Based on the results, some participants made several types of errors on the quadrilateral topics. The errors made by the participants occurred at the stage of understanding the problem, developing a plan, and implementing the plan. Students have not been able to optimize the use of knowledge related to mathematical ideas, procedures, or facts from a quadrilateral.

Abstract

Mathematical thinking ability must be owned by students to solve various problems. Students are considered capable of fulfilling the indicators of mathematical thinking ability properly if they are balanced with good self-efficacy abilities. This research method is qualitative which aims to find new indicators and describe mathematical thinking ability in terms of self-efficacy and provide recommendations for teachers. The research subjects were six students from the first year of senior high school using purposive sampling. Indicators of mathematical thinking ability, include 1) Reasoning: identifying concepts and problems; 2) Generalizing: demonstrating mathematical ideas in writing and using mathematical language to express ideas correctly; 3) Critical Thinking: using representations to create mathematical models; 4) Problem Solving: planning problem solving strategies, implementing and checking results. 5) Communicating: revealing the results of problem solving. The results: 1) low self-efficacy’s students were only able to master reasoning; 2) moderate self-efficacy’s students are able to master reasoning, generalizing, and critical thinking; 3) high self-efficacy’s students are able to master all indicators. Recommendations for teachers are by giving opportunity to low self-efficacy’s students to speak in public, give appreciation for their efforts and reprimand if it doesn’t lower their confidence when they make mistakes.
