Abstract

Background: Many students struggle with bivariate analysis, especially where digital tools are lacking and manual methods dominate learning.Aim: This study seeks to uncover the types of conceptual misunderstandings and procedural errors that first-year undergraduate students encounter when solving problems related to correlation and regression. It also aims to explore the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties.Method: A qualitative analysis was conducted using examination scripts from 120 first-year students enrolled in a Descriptive Statistics and Probability module at a South African open distance learning university. The students’ responses to questions on linear correlation, regression fitting, and prediction were examined through a combination of descriptive statistics and deductive content analysis.Results: The analysis revealed a wide range of misconceptions. While 80% of students could correctly identify variables, only 41.7% computed the correlation coefficient accurately, 36.7% fitted the regression line correctly, and 33.3% predicted y-values properly. Frequent errors included misusing formulas, confusing statistical terms, and failing to check the plausibility of results. Manual methods, in particular, increased the risk of computational and interpretative mistakes.Conclusion: The findings point to substantial gaps in both conceptual understanding and procedural fluency among novice statistics students. To support better learning outcomes, educators should prioritize teaching strategies that integrate conceptual clarity, multiple solution paths, and routine validation practices, especially in contexts where digital tools are not widely available.

Abstract

Background: Although three-dimensional (3D) geometry is an essential component of the elementary school mathematics curriculum, research exploring how students develop spatial understanding of 3D geometric objects in authentic learning contexts remains limited. Furthermore, the challenge of bridging visual, verbal, and manipulative representations persists as a major gap in the literature.Aims: This study aims to address this gap by examining the process through which elementary students develop conceptual understanding of 3D geometry using a grounded theory approach.Method: The study was conducted at a public elementary school in Indramayu Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A total of 26 students (20 female and 6 male, aged 11–12) voluntarily participated. Data were collected through 3D geometric visualization tests and in-depth interviews focusing on students' thought processes in imagining, comparing, and manipulating spatial forms. Data analysis followed the three stages of grounded theory methodology: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, to construct a theory grounded in empirical data.Results: The findings reveal that students’ understanding of 3D volume is still in a transitional stage, moving from concrete experiences to formal mathematical representations. Familiar local contexts alone were found insufficient to bridge spatial understanding without adequate visual and pedagogical support. Major obstacles included conceptual misconceptions, procedural errors, limited visualization skills, and reliance on teacher assistance.Conclusion: The core category, “multiple representations as a bridge to spatial understanding,” underscores the importance of integrating concrete visualization, verbal description, and mathematical symbolism in geometry instruction. This study suggests that teachers should design instructional strategies that systematically combine visual media, concrete manipulatives, and verbal approaches. Such integration is crucial to ensure that local contexts effectively serve as a bridge between real-world experiences and abstract mathematical understanding.

Abstract

Background: Critical thinking is an important skill because it involves reasoning and logic in problem solving efforts. Although it is important, it turns out that students’ critical thinking skills are currently still low. Aims: This study aims to describe the practicality and effectiveness of e-worksheets based on Differentiated PjBL-STEM to improve critical thinking skills. Methods: This research is a Research and Development that refers to the Borg and Gall model. The population is all grade IX students at one of the junior high schools in Tanjung Bintang District. Research instruments were questionnaires for the needs of educators and students, questionnaires for validating e-worksheets by experts, questionnaires for responding educators and students, pretest-posttest, critical thinking skills data analysis techniques using t-test. Result: The validation results of e-worksheets for the suitability of content, attractiveness, and readability obtained an average of 88.35%, meaning that e-worksheets is valid, while the educator’s response was 98.29%, the average student response for the attractiveness and readability aspects was 96.11%, meaning that e-worksheets is practically. The results of the t-test sig.2 tailed value of 0.000 mean that the average critical thinking skills in the experimental class are higher than those in the control class. This is supported by an effect size of 1.29 which is categorized as “large”. Conclusion: Differentiated PjBL-STEM-based e-worksheets effectively improve students critical thinking skills with a significant impact on tolerance of differences in student learning readiness. Therefore, differentiated PjBL-STEM learning is important to implement in schools, especially project-based learning that is relevant to the real world.
