Abstract

One of the topics in graph theory that is interesting and developed continuously is metric dimension.  It has some new variation concepts, such as star metric dimension. The order set of Z={z1,z2,…,zn }⊆V(G) called star resolving set of connected graph  G if Z is Star Graph and for every vertex in G has different representation to the set Z. The representation is expressed as the distance d(u,z), it is the shortest path from vertex u to z for every u,z∈V(G). Star basis of a graph is the smallest cardinality of star resolving set. The number of vertex in star basis is called star metric dimension of G which denoted by Sdim(G). The purpose of this article is to determine the characteristic of star metric dimension and the value of star metric dimension of some classes of graphs. The method which is used in this study is library research. Some of the results of this research are complete graph has  Sdim(Kn )=n-1, for n≥3, bipartite graph K(2,n)  has  Sdim (K(2,n) )=n, for n≥3. Besides complete bipartite graph hasn’t star metric dimension or  for m,n≥3 or it can said that  Sdim (K(m,n) )=0. Another graph, that is Fan graph has Sdim (Fn )=2 for 2≤n≤5 and for n≥6 Sdim (Fn )=(2n+3)/5.

Abstract

Self-efficacy, problem solving, and gender differences are aspects that many researchers concern to today. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe the profile of students’ self-efficacy in solving problems based on gender. We used a qualitative approach with exploratory research to answer the research objectives. We used the Mathematical Ability Test (TKM) instrument, Mathematical Problem-Solving Tasks (TPMM), and interview guidelines to consider the selected subjects. Next, two students were selected (14 years old, of different gender, and had good math skills) to participate in the study. Data from transcripts and student work were used to perform data analysis. The results revealed that there were fundamental differences between the two subjects based on three dimensions of self-efficacy (magnitude, strength, and generality). This is discussed further in this article. Finally, we suggest to explore the influence of regional culture on students’ self-efficacy in the classroom.

Abstract

The study reports on the challenges lower primary numeracy teachers in the Zambezi Region face when using Silozi language as a medium of instruction. The use of Silozi language as a medium of instruction is part of the Namibian language policy in schools. In the Zambezi Region, Silozi, a lingua franca is considered predominant. The findings of the study show that teachers were unable to interpret the concepts in the curriculum and learners could not express their ideas using the lingua franca. However, when Numeracy questions were presented to the learners in symbolic form and in their mother tongue, they did not face challenges in understanding the questions. The study uses the socio-cultural theory as theoretical framework.

Abstract

Geometry is a part of mathematics that students must learn. Spatial ability as a basic ability that students must have to learn more geometry. The realistic mathematical approach provides horizontal processing towards formal understanding. The purpose of this study is to interpret the characteristics of students' spatial abilities during learninggeometry through a realistic mathematical approach in terms of APOS Theory. This research uses quantitative qualitative and descriptive methods. The focus of this research is to explore students' spatial abilities after learning geometry through a realistic approach in understanding geometry concepts reviewed from APOS (Action-Process-Object-Schema) Theory. To comply with the COVID-19 health protocol, the implementation of learning was carried out online with as many as 30 students in the Mathematics Education Program in Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. This study also has exploratory characteristics. The researcher acts as a teacher as well as the main instrument in this study. Researchers use spatial ability test instruments to explore qualitative data. The test result data is used as the basis for determining the research subjects to be interviewed in depth to explore students' spatial abilities during geometry learning through a realistic mathematical approach. The subjects of this study were three students selected from three categories of test results, namely the high, medium and low groups of one person each. Interviews of subjects were conducted using whatsapp media via video call. These interviews are recorded to obtain complete and accurate data. Research data are analyzed through genetic decomposition analysis (description of their actions, objects, processes, schemes, and relationships that individuals have for concepts and principles in spatial geometry). The result of this study was that it was found that students had a mature scheme about the properties of building space. He was able to perform the tematization of objects about the diagonal of the plane and the diagonal of space can be represented in good mental activity, he was a student of the trance level. Inter students are able to carry out action-process-object-and schematic activities, but the embedding is incomplete. Intra students are able to do perceptions of space, but are unable to do interiorization and encapsulation so they fail to solve the given problem. The conclusion of this study is that there is an increase in the spatial understanding of students who are taught through a realistic mathematical approach. There are three levels of students' spatial ability after learning geometry through a realistic mathematical approach. Those are the trance level, the inter level and the lowest intra level.
