Abstract

The aim of this research was to assess how students in Indonesia and Thailand react to ethnomathematics problems within their respective cultures. The participants consisted of 50 students in grades 7 to 12 from Indonesia and Thailand. Descriptive analysis techniques were employed in this study. Data were gathered using questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Subsequently, qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques such as Data Reduction, Data Presentation, Drawing Conclusions, and Verification were applied to analyze the collected data. The results showed that students presented positive responses to the given ethnomathematical problems. From the results of the questionnaire, about 76% showed an average very positive response to ethnomathematics, while the remaining 24% of students showed a moderately positive response to ethnomathematics. From the interview, students stated that students assume that ethnomathematics is interesting and challenging. Students’ answers to the ethnomathematics test showed that they were unable to understand ethnomathematics and tended to work on planning and finally got the wrong results. This is because students who pay less attention to their cultural environment tend to acquire procedural mathematics learning. Therefore, teachers are expected to be able to develop more realistic mathematics learning by linking mathematical concepts with the real world.

Abstract

Self-efficacy is an essential skill that students must develop to excel in mathematics. This study aims to describe students' self-efficacy in solving mathematical literacy-based summative assessment problems. Conducted as qualitative descriptive research, the study employed tests and questionnaires for data collection. The sample of this study consisted of 34 male junior high school students. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that students' self-efficacy was in the medium category with a percentage of 55.88%, and student learning outcomes based on the students’ mathematical literacy-based summative assessment tests were mostly in the poor category with a percentage of 44.11%. The percentages of students who can formulate, use, and interpret mathematical concepts are 78%, 45%, and 59%, respectively. Consequently, students with high levels of self-efficacy outperform those with intermediate or low levels of mathematical literacy. Medium-level individuals demonstrated superior mathematical literacy abilities compared to students with low self-efficacy. Enhancing self-efficacy in addressing mathematical literacy-based summative assessment challenges is crucial for advancing mathematics education research, enabling educators to implement effective pedagogical strategies, and fostering students’ confidence to approach complex problem-solving tasks.

Abstract

Junior high school students often have difficulties in understanding linear equations in one variable (LEOV). Therefore, this research aimed to enhance junior high school students' understanding of LEOV by developing and implementing effective learning activities. The research was conducted as design research in three stages: preliminary design, teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. The participants of the research were 50 seventh-grade students from two junior high schools in Bandung, Indonesia. The data collected from observations, interviews, and student worksheets were analyzed using triangulation to ensure the validity and reliability of the research. The research explored how the teacher explained LEOV in four meetings and how they contributed to students’ understanding, where the first meeting dealt with open sentences, closed sentences, and the definition of LEOV from the context of distance and displacement, the second focused on solving LEOV from the context of two passing trains, and third focused on fractional LEOV from the context of jogging, and the fourth provided the students an opportunity to apply the LEOV concept from a dynamo-powered toy car simulation. The implication of the research is that teachers can significantly improve students' understanding of LEOV by implementing effective learning activities as identified here.

Abstract

This exploratory study investigates the teaching and learning of mathematical proofs, specifically focusing on real nalysis proofs, in mathematics education programs at the higher education level in Bengkulu Province. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with lecturers and students, classroom observations, and document analysis of students' assignments. The findings reveal that lecturers employ various teaching strategies, such as active learning, step-by-step explanations, and the use of technology to aid understanding. However, students face significant challenges, including difficulties with abstract thinking, gaps in foundational knowledge, and the complex language of mathematical proofs. Despite these challenges, students reported improvements in their logical reasoning, problem-solving, and self-confidence as they were engaged in the construction mathematical proofs. Classroom observations confirmed that collaborative learning was effective in promoting understanding. Document analysis of students' assignments indicated a range of proficiency levels, with some students struggling to produce clear and logical proofs. The study highlights the importance of mathematical proofs in developing critical thinking skills and analytical abilities. It suggests that more interactive, student-centered teaching methods are necessary to address the challenges students face and improve learning outcomes. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing teaching practices and supporting students' mastery of mathematical proofs.

Abstract

The importance of differentiated learning in the classroom is to meet students' diverse learning needs, increase engagement, and maximize individual potential so that each student can achieve optimal learning outcomes. This research was carried out as a starting point in the use of differentiated learning modules on problem-based comparison materials so that students' mathematical problem-solving skills are good, but there are still many learnings that do not integrate student needs, and students still experience difficulties in understanding comparative materials. The type of research used is development studies-type design research with the aim of producing a problem-based differentiated learning module on comparative materials that is valid, practical, and has a potential effect of using differentiated learning modules of comparative materials on students' mathematical problem-solving skills. The research subjects were 36 students of class VII.8 of junior high school 17 Palembang. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The results showed that the problem-based differentiated learning module on comparison material was quite valid with an average percentage of 82.9% and very practical with an average percentage of 83.3%, and students had good mathematical problem-solving skills with an average percentage of 83.069% after the implementation of learning. The resulting teaching module contains lesson plans, student worksheets, teaching materials, assessments, and assessment rubrics.

Abstract

The ineffective use of constructivist learning through mathematical abstraction activities by teachers has led to low mathematics learning results. To promote mathematical abstraction, teaching materials must integrate the visualization of Minangkabau batik motifs. Therefore, this research aimed to describe the characteristics of teaching materials by adopting a 4D developmental model. The data analysis across the development stage included qualitative descriptive analysis for data received from interviews, observations, document reviews, and literature reviews, as well as quantitative descriptive analysis for data obtained from wide validation. The results showed that (1) Minangkabau batik motifs contained the concept of transformation geometry including reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. (2) The characteristics of teaching materials included (a) having a cover, encouragement sheet, foreword, table of contents, materials, supporting information, exercises, assessments, and bibliography, (b) meeting the appropriateness of graphics, content, and language, (c) displaying the visualization of Minangkabau batik motifs for presentation of material, exploration of the properties of transformation geometry, and finding answers to prompting and practice questions, as well as (d) containing student activities in constructing concepts and making connections between such concepts. In conclusion, this research could help teachers improve students' mathematical abstraction using local cultures and teaching materials.

This research was conducted using a design research method with an exploratory approach focused on the design experiment stage. The study involved eighth-grade students from SMP N 39 Semarang. Data was collected through observation, questionnaires, portfolios of students’ work, and interviews. The findings show that Mobile Math Trails-supported learning using PBL model can be an alternative numeracy reinforcement learning. The tasks design students explore around the school environment refers to numeracy indicators with specific content, context, and cognitive levels. The features embedded within the Mobile Math Trails application assist students in the problem-solving process. The tasks designed within the application foster a direct link between mathematical concepts and real-world scenarios within the school environment, thereby necessitating students' reasoning skills. Active student involvement is crucial in this learning, as collaboration among peers is essential for generating optimal learning experiences. Moreover, the learning steps outlined in the research necessitate students' physical engagement. Future studies could explore the application of numeracy reinforcement learning facilitated by Mobile Math Trails in diverse environments.

Abstract

One of the demands of 21st century learning is critical thinking. However, nowadays, students' critical thinking skills are still relatively low, particularly in geometry. This research aims to explore students' critical thinking skills through the design of a series of lessons. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) underlies the design and the context applied. This study was conducted in one of the elementary schools in Jakarta, involving 30 grade IV elementary school students as the research subjects. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with an educational ethnographic approach. Data collection techniques involved observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of a traditional game-based learning design called Damdas 3 Batu can support students’ critical thinking skills. Through this game, students are able to comprehend the given problems, construct mathematical models adapted to the provided context, solve the problems, and ultimately derive conclusions from the obtained results. Therefore, Damdas 3 Batu can serve as a valuable instructional reference for teaching geometry concepts in elementary schools.

Abstract

Problem solving behavior focuses on how students process to solve problems, while problem solving ability is a student's ability to solve problems. Problem solving behavior can identify students' problems in solving mathematical problems, so that students' mathematical problem solving abilities are achieved as expected. Therefore, it is important for students to develop their problem-solving behaviors. By paying attention to problem solving behavior, teachers can discover students' obstacles in solving problems. The study aims to describe the problem solving behavior of students with low, medium and high ability levels. The subjects of the study were first-year senior high school students. The students were given mathematical problem-solving questions and then interviewed. Based on the interview transcripts, the students were grouped based on the problem solving behavior rubric. However, a new category of problem solving behavior, i.e., semi-routine, was proposed because the existing behavior categories did not fully represent the observed problem solving behaviors. The results of this study showed that problem solving behaviors are categorized into apathetic, semi-routine, routine, semi-sophisticated, and sophisticated. Aspects of problem solving behaviors are knowledge ownership, control, beliefs, and affective. By improving students' problem-solving behavior, it is expected that students' mathematical problem solving abilities will also improve.

Abstract

Mathematical thinking involves how individuals present, understand, and critically examine mathematical truths, considering how their relation to representation or imagination. However, students often exhibit low mathematical thinking skills. Previous research shows that digital worksheets based on creative problem-solving can foster these skills, yet the relationship between mathematical thinking and learning styles remains unexplored. This study aims to develop innovative digital worksheets based on creative problem solving, categorized as valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students' mathematical thinking with audio-visual learning styles. The study employs a development method comprising two main stages: a preliminary study (analysis and design) and a formative study (evaluation and revision). Data collection instruments include tests, observations, validation sheets, questionnaires, and interviews. The analysis integrates both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study involved 15 audio-visual learners from 24 eighth-grade students at SMP Srijaya Negara Palembang. The results indicate that students excel in specializing and identifying problems based on given information. Their generalizing skills, including finding patterns and relationships are strong. However, their conjecturing and convincing skills require improvement, particularly in making connections and reasoning. The digital worksheets were deemed 93% valid and practical, significantly enhancing students' mathematical thinking, particularly for those with an audio-visual learning style. While students demonstrated excellent skills in specialization and good skills in generalization, there is still a need for improvement in conjecturing and convincing due to errors in mathematical reasoning.
