Abstract

There are many difficulties that can be identified when students solve mathematic problems especially in solving probability word problems. This study was conducted to identify the major obstacles faced by matriculation college students while solving the probability of an event word problems. Seven college students were the sample for this case study. Clinical interviews are used as a data collection. This data collection technique was selected based on the researcher’s observation on the participants as they answered the probability word problem task. The task was given during the interview session. Semi structured interviews are used to obtain in depth information. Think-aloud analysis involves observations leading to individual behaviours in the oral or nonverbal form of participants and the researcher’s field notes. Participants were found to have difficulty interpreting probabilities. There are three categories of difficulties that have been identified, namely not knowing the meaning of the word, not knowing the nature of the probability and not being able to identify the goal of the probability word problem.

Abstract

Spatial thinking plays an important role in solving conic section problems. When students encounter problems involving shapes like parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas, they need not only grasp the algebraic representations but also visualize how a plane intersects a cone in three-dimensional space. Unlike previous studies that focused on psychometric tasks disconnected from classroom content, this study integrates spatial thinking directly into mathematical problem-solving, specifically in conic sections. The study examines undergraduate students' spatial thinking skills on conic sections, based on spatial thinking categories and sex differences. Twenty-five undergraduate students (4 males and 21 females) from the Mathematics Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang, enrolled in an analytical geometry course and participated in a spatial thinking test. Additionally, four students (2 males and 2 females), representing both high and low spatial thinking abilities, were interviewed to provide deeper insights into students' spatial thinking. The results show that students with high spatial thinking abilities demonstrated strong mental visualization skills but had minor difficulties and errors in representing detailed components. Moreover, students with lower spatial thinking abilities have difficulties in visualizing complex objects and often misinterpret spatial representations. Furthermore, male students provided limited written explanations of spatial object characteristics, whereas female students faced difficulties in accurately drawing 3D spatial objects but compensated with effective 2D representations and verbal explanations. In conclusion, the findings show that the difficulties of spatial thinking are influenced by spatial thinking categories and gender differences, offering rich information to design more effective mathematics learning.

Abstract

Cultural integration in education has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. However, the specific impact of cultural integration on mathematics education, particularly in relation to students' academic achievement and their appreciation of mathematical beauty, has not been thoroughly examined. This study explores the effects of a teaching module that integrates Zapin and Kuda Kepang dances with isometric transformations on these outcomes. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 60 Form Two students from Johor Bahru, divided into treatment and control groups. The module was implemented over five weeks, with data collected through academic performance tests, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. Independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests (conducted using SPSS version 21) revealed significant improvements in academic achievement and appreciation of mathematical beauty among students in the treatment group. Thematic analysis of interview data further revealed increased motivation, interest, and emotional connection to mathematics. These findings highlight the potential of integrating cultural elements into mathematics education to foster deeper engagement and academic success, emphasizing the need for innovative teaching approaches in secondary education.

Abstract

Collective argumentation plays a crucial role in enhancing students' mathematical understanding through discussion. While previous studies have explored collective argumentation and group composition, only a limited number of research has examined the impact of ability-based grouping—both homogeneous and heterogeneous—on collective argumentation in mathematics learning. Based on this, the current research aims to explore collective argumentation in homogeneous and heterogeneous groups of students, supported by scaffolding, in solving mathematically and non-mathematically rich tasks. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, the present study involved two groups of eighth-grade students, each consisting of six eighth-grade students with high, medium, and low abilities. Data were collected through recorded group discussions, observations, and interviews. After that, the collected data were analyzed using the Toulmin argumentation model. The findings reveal that homogeneous groups of high-ability students engaged more actively in idea exploration and generated dynamic arguments, incorporating key argumentation elements such as claims, data, warrants, rebuttals, and qualifications. In contrast, in heterogeneous groups, high-ability students dominated discussions, while lower-ability students were more passive and relied on scaffolding from teachers or peers. Furthermore, mathematically rich tasks were more effective in fostering in-depth discussions than non-mathematically rich tasks. These findings highlight the importance of strategic student grouping and scaffolding in promoting engagement and meaningful collective argumentation in mathematics learning.

Abstract

Online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic requires lecturers to provide a stimulus that can increase student learning independence. However, not all lecturers and students are ready to carry out online learning, as a result, the anxiety factor for students is getting higher. In some studies, it is said that anxiety has a negative correlation with student self-concept. This study aims to find out how the mathematics self-concept (MSC), mathematics anxiety (MA), and mathematics learning independence (MSRL) of students are during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is quantitative descriptive. The population of this study was active students in the Mathematics and Mathematics Education study program. Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey technique with cluster sampling. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistical analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and ordinal regression analysis. The results showed that the average student had a positive MSC, MA, and moderate MSRL. Students with negative MSC had a significant tendency to have a high MSRL than students with positive MSC. The increasing probability of students with negative MSC having a high MSRL is 0.5110 times better than students with positive MSC. MSC and MA have an effect of 7.9% on changes in the student's MSRL variable. Thus, during the Covid-19 pandemic mathematics self-concept directly affects changes in student learning independence, but not with math anxiety. DOI: https://doi.org/10.22342/jpm.15.2.13200.103-114

Abstract

Sequences and series is one of the mathematical topics that are related to everyday life. The topic is also taught at several levels of education in Indonesia. However, many students still experrienced difficulties in learning this topic. This study uses an interpretive paradigm that is part of the Didactical Design Research (DDR). This research aims to analyze students’ learning obstacles on the topic of sequence and series using the onto-semiotic approach. To do so, written test consists of five questions related to the conceptual understanding of an arithmetic sequences and series was administered to 23 students from one of the senior high schools in Kota Tangerang Selatan followed by interviews with 4 students. The results show that learning obstacles are classified into epistemological, ontogenic, and didactical obstacles. Based on the onto-semiotics approach, the students had difficulties in defining a mathematical idea on sequences and series topics. They could convert a problem into mathematical model but were confused to use a proper procedure. It can be concluded that students still experience obstacles in learning sequences and series topic. The results of this study can be used by teachers as considerations in designing learning situation on the topic of sequence and series. DOI: https://doi.org/10.22342/jpm.15.2.13519.115-132
