Abstract

Mathematical critical thinking is a fundamental competence required for effective algebraic problem solving; however, many students experience difficulties that extend beyond procedural errors. This study aims to analyze junior secondary students’ mathematical critical thinking processes in solving algebraic problems based on the Watson–Glaser critical thinking indicators. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 40 seventh-grade students from a public junior high school in Indonesia. Written test data were used to describe the overall distribution of students’ critical thinking levels, while in-depth qualitative analysis was conducted on three purposively selected students representing high, moderate, and low ability levels. Data were analyzed through indicator-based scoring and qualitative content analysis supported by interview data. The findings reveal that students’ mathematical critical thinking ability was predominantly low, with major difficulties in deductive reasoning and the evaluation of arguments. Qualitative results indicate distinct reasoning patterns across ability levels: high-ability students demonstrated coherent reasoning but weak communication of conclusions, moderate-ability students showed fragmented and inconsistent reasoning, and low-ability students relied heavily on intuitive guessing with limited conceptual understanding. These findings highlight the need for process-oriented, differentiated instructional strategies that explicitly foster critical thinking in algebraic learning.

Abstract

The integration of computational thinking (CT) has become increasingly essential in mathematics education, particularly in topics that require spatial reasoning and structured problem solving, such as flat-surfaced solid geometry. This study aims to synthesize empirical evidence on students’ computational thinking abilities within this specific mathematical context through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this review analyzed seven peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 in nationally accredited journals indexed at SINTA levels 1–5. The literature search was conducted using Google Scholar and Publish or Perish, guided by predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the study selection process followed PRISMA guidelines. The findings reveal that students’ computational thinking abilities are generally at low to moderate levels and unevenly developed across indicators, with abstraction and decomposition more prominent than pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking. Instructional designs incorporating visualization, contextualization, and structured problem engagement effectively supported CT development, whereas unplugged and manipulative-based activities proved beneficial at the elementary level. However, most studies emphasize outcome-based assessments and provide limited insight into students’ cognitive processes during problem solving. These findings highlight the need for theoretically grounded instructional designs and process-oriented assessment frameworks to support a more integrated and sustainable development of computational thinking in geometry learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Grade VII students’ errors when solving mixed-integer operation problems using the Newman Error Analysis (NEA) framework. A qualitative case study design was employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of students’ cognitive processes underlying their errors. The participants were 23 students from a junior secondary school in West Java, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a diagnostic test, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Student responses were classified into five stages of NEA: reading error, comprehension error, transformation error, process skills error, and encoding error. Data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students’ correct response rates remained below 15% across all items, indicating substantial conceptual and procedural weaknesses. Reading errors were minimal; however, comprehension, transformation, process skills, and encoding errors occurred at consistently high frequencies. The dominant difficulties were related to misunderstandings of the operational hierarchy, particularly the equal precedence of multiplication and division and the left-to-right processing rules. Cross-case analysis showed that similar incorrect answers originated from different cognitive sources, including conceptual rigidity, weak procedural fluency, limited metacognitive monitoring, and affective factors such as confusion and anxiety. This study shows that students’ errors in mixed-integer operations follow identifiable cognitive patterns rather than occur randomly. The findings underscore the importance of strengthening conceptual understanding and integrating metacognitive strategies into mathematics instruction to prevent cascading errors in problem-solving.
