Abstract

This study aims to describe the profile of students’ mathematical beliefs in solving algebra problems at state junior high school 1 Palu, viewed from their learning styles. Mathematics learning, particularly algebra, often faces obstacles due to its abstract symbolic nature, which affects students’ confidence. Self-efficacy, as part of mathematical belief, plays an important role in students’ persistence and strategies when solving problems. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through a learning style questionnaire, written algebra tests, and semi-structured interviews. The analysis was conducted based on self-efficacy indicators, namely magnitude, strength, and generality. The results showed that students with a visual learning style had high self-efficacy, confidence in constructing equations, persistence in solving problems, and verification of answers. Students with an auditory learning style demonstrated low self-efficacy, doubts in algebraic manipulation, and lack of confidence in generalizing strategies. Meanwhile, students with a kinesthetic learning style exhibited high self-efficacy, confidence in representing variables, persistence in solving problems, and ability to recheck results. These findings emphasize that learning styles influence students’ mathematical beliefs, particularly self-efficacy, in algebra problem solving. The study concludes that aligning instructional strategies with students’ learning styles can strengthen self-efficacy and foster positive mathematical beliefs.

Abstract

This study describes the profile of mathematical beliefs of students at State Junior High School 1 Palu in solving two variable linear equations, viewed from masculine and feminine gender tendencies. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving two Grade VIII students identified through the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) questionnaire as masculine (SM) and feminine (SF). Data were collected using written tests and semi-structured interviews based on Bandura’s self-efficacy framework, covering magnitude, strength, and generality dimensions. The findings show that SM demonstrated strong and positive mathematical beliefs, characterized by confidence in solving complex problems, persistence despite difficulties, and the ability to generalize prior knowledge to new contexts. In contrast, SF exhibited moderately positive beliefs, marked by optimism and commitment but requiring reinforcement in consistency, resilience, and procedural accuracy. These results highlight differences in mathematical beliefs based on gender tendencies and emphasize the importance of considering gender perspectives in mathematics learning. The study provides implications for teaching strategies that strengthen students’ confidence and problem-solving abilities.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical resilience of elementary school teachers within the context of marginal school governance through a qualitative case study conducted at State Elementary School Samudrajaya 03, Bekasi, Indonesia. Marginal schools commonly operate under weak governance structures, limited resources, and minimal institutional support conditions that potentially constrain pedagogical practices. However, this study finds that teachers do not merely endure these constraints but actively develop adaptive and reflective pedagogical strategies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that pedagogical resilience is manifested through conscious instructional adaptation, curriculum negotiation, and contextual classroom management. Teachers exercise professional agency by strategically adjusting pedagogical practices to sustain meaningful learning despite structural limitations. Conceptually, this study positions pedagogical resilience not as an individual psychological trait, but as a form of professional agency enacted through pedagogical practice under conditions of weak school governance. Rather than seeking statistical generalization, the study offers analytical generalization that contributes to the discourse on teacher resilience and school governance in marginalized educational settings. The findings also have implications for educational policy and professional development initiatives aimed at strengthening pedagogical capacity in marginal schools.
