Abstract

Effective learning planning requires information on the obstacles to learning a given concept that students experience to create a learning flow that matches the students’ characters, including in the learning of the concepts of relations and functions. The research aims to determine the learning obstacles (LOs) that students experience in learning the concepts of relations and functions as per the criteria of the theory of didactic situations (TDS). Employing the case study method, this qualitative research was conducted with subjects that included 19 prospective teacher students who had taken a diagnostic test and participated in in-depth interviews. An analysis was conducted based on three TDS criteria, namely action, formulation, and validation. The results revealed two types of LOs that students experienced in learning the concepts of relations and functions: 1) ontogenic obstacles and 2) epistemological obstacles. The first type of obstacles included 1a) the inability to properly understand the definition of the intersection of two relations, referred to as conceptual ontogenic obstacle, and 1b) the inability to relate the concept of relations in drawing a Hasse diagram, referred to as instrumental ontogenic obstacle. Meanwhile, the second type included 2a) the difficulty in expressing relations in the forms of mapping diagrams and graphs, 2b) the difficulty in determining the range of ​​a function, 2c) the difficulty in identifying relations which are also functions, 2d) the inability to represent relations in the forms of mapping diagrams, and 2e) the inability to write a function as a set of ordered pairs. It is recommended that these LO findings be taken into consideration in designing learning tools.

Abstract

Spatial reasoning is essential for success in mathematics and STEM fields, yet it is often overlooked in primary school curricula. This study investigates the levels and progression of spatial reasoning abilities among primary school students in Indonesia, focusing on mental rotation, spatial orientation, and spatial visualization. A cross-sectional study involving 135 students from Year 2, Year 4, and Year 6 used an adapted Spatial Reasoning Instrument. Results showed below-average spatial reasoning abilities overall, with notable improvement with age: Year 2 students averaged a Spatial Reasoning Test Score (SRTS) of 1.66, Year 4 students 2.02, and Year 6 students 2.68. Challenges were identified in tasks requiring multi-step spatial reasoning, spatial language comprehension, and 2D-3D transformations, particularly among younger students. These findings highlight the need for curriculum enhancements and targeted interventions to develop spatial reasoning skills from an early age, improving academic performance in STEM subjects.

Abstract

Integral learning is particularly challenging for students, primarily due to misconceptions predominantly caused by students' lack of understanding about functions, limits, and derivatives. Therefore, this research aims to investigate students’ thinking processes when solving double integral using Action, Process, Object, and Schema (APOS) theory, with a focus on past errors. In order to achieve the objective, a descriptive qualitative method was adopted. Data was collected from tests, interviews, and relevant documentation, and tested for validity using triangulation methods. The obtained results showed that high-ability students understood APOS stages in solving double integral. However, at the object stage, a lack of thoroughness in simplifying algebra led to misunderstandings. Medium-Ability Student (MS) was observed to successfully reach APOS stages when solving double integral using polar coordinates. Low-Ability Student (LS), on the other hand, showed inadequate understanding at the process stage, as evidenced by the failure to correctly draw the area and set integral boundaries. During the course of this investigation, process errors were found to be commonly associated with the calculations of double integral. In order to address these issues, Genetic Decomposition (GD) should be designed for other calculus topics, and error classification expanded to enhance the effectiveness of lectures.

Abstract

This study explores how junior high school students understand different types of discounts through percent multiplication. We used the qualitative study and analyzed the in-depth answers of three of the 32 participants as research subjects. The end-of-year discount selection activity provides a daily context to build knowledge about needs and wants. Students engage with open-ended tasks requiring mathematical methods to make financial decisions. These activities help students recognize discounts in everyday life, develop problem-solving strategies, and improve mathematical skills. The article highlights how students analyze various store discounts and guide readers in distinguishing between needs and wants. Early exposure to financial math fosters responsible consumer behavior. The study emphasizes the importance of applying comprehensive information to solve financial problems by connecting mathematics to real-life scenarios. The results indicate that the implementation of an open-ended task has the potential to facilitate understanding of financial decision-making and mathematical skills.

Abstract

The teaching of mathematics in Indonesia faces notable challenges, particularly in effectively conveying mathematical concepts to students. This has created a need for instructional modules that provide better support for learners. Current modules, however, do not adequately incorporate the Pancasila Students Profile (PSP), especially in terms of fostering critical reasoning skills. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for alternative instructional materials based on the Ethno-Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME) approach, which aligns with the competencies outlined in the PSP—a framework grounded in the nation's foundational values—and connects learning with students' daily experiences. This study aims to develop an Ethno-RME-based module that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students' critical reasoning abilities. The research adopts a design research methodology of the development studies type, structured into two key phases: preliminary and formative evaluation. Data collection methods included the use of assessment sheets, walkthroughs, document analysis, and tests of students' critical reasoning skills. The study was conducted with 22 eighth-grade students at a private secondary school in Yogyakarta. The results indicate that the Ethno-RME-based module is both valid and practical, with promising potential to improve students' critical reasoning. Specifically, the module received high validity ratings, with the material scoring an average of 165 out of 175 and the media quality receiving 129 out of 135. The one-to-one evaluation phase produced an average score of 74 out of 75. During the small group trial, the module achieved an average student response score of 66.33 out of 75, and in the field test stage, it scored an average of 64.45 out of 75, confirming its practicality. Furthermore, the second stage of the field test revealed a positive effect on critical reasoning. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of the Ethno-RME-based module in enhancing the critical reasoning skills of students in accordance with the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

The study of cylindrical geometry is a fundamental component of mathematics education, yet many students face challenges in grasping the concepts of surface area and volume. To address this issue, it is imperative to design a structured learning trajectory that leverages innovative approaches and integrates suitable contextual elements with technological assistance. This study explores the implementation of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) supported by animated videos and Adobe Animate, to facilitate understanding of these concepts. The research focuses on the design of instructional activities centered on the Semarang Nyadran tradition as a contextual framework. Employing a design research methodology, this study was conducted in three stages: preliminary design, design experimentation, and retrospective analysis. The participants were seventh-grade students at a state junior high school in Semarang. The resulting learning trajectory comprises four key activities: observing animated videos depicting the Nyadran tradition to identify cylindrical characteristics, determining the cylinder's surface area through cardboard modeling, calculating the cylinder's volume using styrofoam and 2D geometry formulae, and solving contextual problems related to cylindrical geometry. The incorporation of the Nyadran tradition, animated videos, and Adobe Animate provided a culturally relevant and technologically enriched learning experience, enhancing students' comprehension of cylindrical concepts and their ability to solve contextual problems effectively. This study highlights the potential of integrating local cultural wisdom and technology in mathematics education to create engaging, meaningful, and contextually grounded learning experiences. The findings offer insights for future research to explore other forms of local wisdom as entry points for teaching diverse mathematical topics in innovative and technology-integrated ways.
