Abstract

Collective argumentation is a process in learning that can be used to train communication skills, collaboration, and understanding of mathematical concepts. In this process, both teachers and students play an active role, which is called participation. This study aims to describe the structure of collective argumentation and student participation in solving geometry problems in the classroom. This research method is a qualitative case study. The subjects in this study were a mathematics teacher with 11 years of teaching experience at the junior high school level and six 9th-grade students who had an interest in mathematics from two different classes. The structure of collective argumentation shows that this learning focuses on students while the teacher acts as a facilitator. It can be seen from the more significant number of actions taken by students than teachers. In terms of participation, teachers more often act as ghostee, while students participate more as spokesman. Overall, this study reveals the structure of argumentation in solving geometry problems at each stage of Polya. Questions and explanations given by the teacher influence students' collective argumentation. A teacher must have questioning and communication skills so that students can actively participate in learning in the classroom.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning is one of the important factors in learning to control oneself in thinking and acting. The purpose of this research is to analyze how much students have achieved their independence in learning. Student learning independence includes all matters of student learning independently without the help of others, student learning motivation or things that affect student independence in learning, especially in learning mathematics. This analysis study will be continued as an effort to improve self-regulated learning. The scope of self-regulated learning was analyzed by descriptive quantitative method through data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires on the object of research taken from a population of 25 students. Data collection was carried out with a questionnaire consisting of 20 statements from indicators of students' self-regulated learning ability. In learning mathematics, students who have initiative and instrinsic learning motivation, apply learning targets, and set a learning schedule in the percentage of almost half of the students do according to these indicators of independence. Almost all students diagnose learning needs, view difficulties as challenges, utilize and seek relevant sources. However, a small proportion of students lack self-efficacy or confidence in their abilities and are still low in evaluating the learning process and results. So that as an educator this needs to be considered to be able to improve students' self-regulated learning abilities (learning independence) in order to improve student achievement.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover and analyze hidden misconceptions in algebraic understanding among first-year students in the Mathematics Education Department at a private university in Malang. Conducted from January to March 2024, the research involves two first-year students as subjects. The first subject exhibits the misconception known as "illegal canceling," while the second subject demonstrates the "assumption of distributivity of exponents." Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, diagnostic interviews and problem-solving tasks were employed to identify and understand these misconceptions. Our findings indicate that these hidden misconceptions significantly hinder the students' ability to correctly solve algebraic problems and understand underlying concepts. For the first subject, the error in illegal canceling often led to incorrect simplifications, while the second subject's erroneous application of exponent rules resulted in fundamentally flawed solutions. By systematically categorizing these misconceptions, the study offers tailored instructional strategies to effectively address and correct them.This research highlights the critical need for early detection and targeted intervention in mathematical education. By providing a deeper insight into specific algebraic misunderstandings, the study suggests practical approaches for educators to enhance their teaching methodologies, ultimately improving students' overall algebra comprehension. The novelty of this research lies in its detailed focus on hidden misconceptions and the provision of actionable solutions, offering a fresh perspective on improving algebra education for first-year university students.

Abstract

This study aims to remediate students' misconceptions about exponent numbers using a problem posing approach among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 26 Pontianak. Misconceptions in mathematics are a fundamental issue that can hinder students’ understanding of more advanced concepts if not addressed effectively. The problem posing approach offers an innovative solution by encouraging active student participation, creative thinking, and deeper conceptual understanding. This research employed Pedagogic Action Research with a qualitative approach. The subjects were five seventh grade students who selected based on diagnostic test results that identified specific misconceptions related to the concept of exponents, such as powers of zero, negative exponents, and the order of operations. Data were collected through diagnostic tests, interviews, observations, and posttests. The misconceptions are concepts of exponent, powers of zero, exponent with negative numbers, and the order of counting operations. The results revealed that the post-solution posing type of problem posing approach effectively reduced students' misconceptions. After the remediation, misconceptions among the five subjects were reduced to only one, specifically regarding the concept of zero exponents. These results indicate that the problem posing approach can be a powerful strategy in helping students overcome persistent misconceptions in mathematics through active engagement and reflective learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore and explain students’ mathematical connection abilities based on their levels of learning motivation. A qualitative investigative approach involved junior high school students categorized into three motivation levels: high, moderate, and low. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire and problem-solving tasks to assess students’ mathematical connection skills. The results revealed that highly motivated students demonstrated the strongest abilities, characterized by their capacity to connect various mathematical concepts, effectively use visual representations, and apply concepts in real-life and interdisciplinary contexts. In contrast, moderately motivated students tended to rely on basic procedures without developing a comprehensive conceptual understanding, while students with low motivation struggled to comprehend and relate concepts, often copying information without formulating appropriate solution strategies. These findings highlight the critical role of learning motivation in fostering mathematical connection skills. Therefore, implementing instructional strategies that enhance student motivation—such as problem-based and contextual learning approaches—is essential for promoting more profound understanding and stronger mathematical connections.

Abstract

The problems that occur in learning outcomes are generally influenced by learning activities that are less interactive and less interesting so as to reduce student motivation and enthusiasm, which is caused by the learning methods and styles used in the classroom. Based on observations at SMAN 8 Malang, it is known that the implementation of mathematics learning is still one-way and students are only involved in doing assignments. This has an impact on the results of the assessment carried out by the teacher in learning mathematics. To improve student learning outcomes, effective and relevant learning methods are needed in accordance with the lesson plans that have been prepared. The approach and learning model that aims to provide solutions to overcome the challenges of improving learning outcomes is the Weekly Project of Problems (W-PoP) Scheme with the TARL Approach. The research method used is Classroom Action Research with data collection techniques consisting of initial assessment, observation, written tests, interviews, and questionnaires.  Through this research, an increase in the percentage of student learning completeness was obtained in the summative assessment in cycle 2 which reached 79%, an increase of 32% compared to the summative assessment in cycle 1 and an increase of 38% from the pre-cycle. The average score of all students also increased significantly in each cycle. Thus, the application of the Weekly Project of Problems (W-PoP) with the TARL Approach can provide equal opportunities for students to receive learning materials and have equality in getting treatment in learning to gain understanding abilities to improve student learning outcomes.
