Abstract

This study investigates the mathematical representation processes of junior high school students in Indonesia when solving higher-order thinking Skills (HOTS) problems, using machine learning-based analysis Given the increasing volume of mathematics education research (PER) literature, traditional thematic analysis methods are inadequate for tracking developments and identifying future research directions. To address this, we applied the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithm, a natural language processing (NLP) technique, to automate thematic analysis of Indonesian PER literature. Our sample comprised six junior high school students, categorized by mathematical ability into high (2 students), medium (2 students), and low (2 students). Data preprocessing included tokenization, stop-word removal, and stemming to prepare the text corpus for LDA modeling. HOTS problems, which require critical thinking and problem-solving skills, were used to assess students' abilities. The findings highlight three primary aspects of mathematical representation: visual, symbolic, and verbal. High-ability students demonstrated a propensity for using and transforming visual representations innovatively, while medium-ability students predominantly employed symbolic representations. In contrast, low-ability students exhibited limited or no changes in their representations. These results underscore the varying approaches to mathematical problem-solving based on ability levels. This study illustrates the effectiveness of NLP methods in thematic analysis, presenting an automated, comprehensive approach to understanding thematic developments in students' mathematical representation processes. By identifying research gaps and suggesting future research directions, our findings can inform scholars and educators aiming to enhance the quality of mathematics education. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of the results, and future research with larger samples is recommended to validate and expand upon these findings.

Abstract

This study investigates the comprehension of temperature (ΔT) and heat (Q) in elementary school physics. This research uses a case study technique involving one instance of temperature (ΔT) and heat (Q). Five hundred forty-seven prospective teachers participated in the research during the 2022-2023 school year. This study employs observation, interviews, and document analysis for data collection. This study, which included pre-service physics teachers (Psp) and in-service physics teachers (Non-Psp), was conducted in a classroom setting. In qualitative analysis, the participants' methods of determining temperature change (ΔT) and heat (Q) were examined using descriptive-analytic approaches. Data collected from participants is analyzed based on prepared topics and direct quotations from the issues in which the results are consolidated. Research analysis indicates that participants struggle to differentiate between temperature (ΔT) and heat (Q) due to the reliance on rote teaching methods and students' preconceived notions about nature that may not align with scientific concepts. When compared to scientific principles. Teachers lack understanding of the origin of temperature change (ΔT) and heat (Q). Studying temperature change (ΔT) and heat transfer (Q) involves practical applying issues and physics concepts. Both PSP and non-PSP teachers lack understanding of the ideas underpinning kinematics, which they are expected to teach in the classroom. Poor comprehension of essential concepts by teachers will hinder students' learning outcomes. Teachers can define temperature. If he lacks an understanding of temperature concepts like Celsius, Kelvin, Reamur, and Fahrenheit, as well as the concept of heat connected to conduction, convection, and radiation, then... Under those circumstances, the teacher will struggle to educate efficiently.

Using the quasi-experimental approach, 80 elementary school students in Germany are divided into two groups: control groups who use traditional methods and experimental groups that use educational marbles. The marbles used have been culturally adapted for the German context and are specifically designed to support learning science concepts. Increased understanding of science concepts is measured through initial tests and final tests and analyzed using inferential statistical analysis. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant increase in understanding the concept of science compared to the control group. For example, the average score of the final test of the experimental group increased from 65 to 85 (p <0.05), while the control group only increased from 64 to 70 (p> 0.05). This finding shows that the game of educational marbles can make learning more interactive and interesting, as well as increase understanding of science concepts in elementary school students. In addition, this research highlights the importance of adaptation of local culture in the development of teaching materials. The marble is used to integrate the elements of German culture, which helps students feel more connected with learning materials. However, this research also found that students with certain motor difficulties face greater challenges in using this game. For example, students with limitations in hand-eye coordination have difficulty controlling marbles, which affects their participation in learning activities. Overall, this research suggests the use of educational games in teaching science to create a more interactive and fun learning environment. The results of this study support further development of culturally adapted educational games to increase the effectiveness of learning in various contexts of education.

Abstract

The learning process involves sub-skills and socio-cognitive domains that are integrated into the basis of other learning processes. The current understanding of the knowledge production process entails shared cognitive responsibilities and active participation by learners in a group to develop and exchange new theories and information via online platforms. COVID-19 has prompted the education sector to create innovative methods to adequately equip students to meet international standards and tackle critical societal issues. Educators must create a conducive environment for students to learn and develop skills. Creating student learning groups (SLGs) is an intelligent decision to encourage collaboration within traditional education settings. However, further information about its use in remote learning is necessary. Effective collaborative learning methodologies are essential for studying online design-based disciplines like civil and mechanical engineering. This article explains how to teach fundamental learning ideas to kids. Studying the suitability of collaborative learning in specific design-based courses involves assessing the significance of self-efficacy and group work abilities and investigating theoretical concepts, virtual laboratories, and small projects overseen by educators following the Board of Indian Standards (I.S) Codes. This paper suggests necessary actions to tackle specific challenges in the education system.  This study's findings indicate that students' receptiveness to online collaborative learning is greatly influenced by their attitude toward online learning and their experience level. The assessment results showed that the integration of online collaborative learning (OCL) positively influenced their overall development in terms of topic knowledge.
