Abstract

Nutrition facts are the details on food packaging that describe its nutritional value, including serving size, calories, macronutrients like carbohydrates, protein, and fat, and micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. These facts have mathematical concepts that can be utilized as a context for prospective teachers to create mathematical problems. By leveraging this real-world data, educators can contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), by promoting nutritional awareness, and SDG 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing student engagement and understanding through relatable examples. This study examines the profile of mathematical tasks created by prospective mathematics teachers using nutrition facts as a context that meets numeracy task criteria. Data were collected from 62 mathematical tasks created by 31 prospective teachers attending a realistic mathematics education course on numeracy based on a problem-posing task at a public university in Surabaya, Indonesia. The posed tasks were categorized into solvable or unsolvable tasks and the domains of the level of context use and the level of cognitive processes. Results revealed that the level of context use in the posed tasks varied from zero to second order. Surprisingly, most of the tasks were in the first-order level context. Most posed tasks reached the application level, with only a few identified as reasoning tasks. Interestingly, some tasks coded as second-order context were classified as reasoning tasks. The study provides implications for designing numeracy tasks using nutrition facts and interventions in teacher education related to numeracy task design.

Abstract

Abstraction is essential to learning mathematics because the mathematical concepts obtained through abstraction will be more meaningful than directly receiving these concepts. This study aims to describe the pre-service teachers' abstraction in constructing relationships among quadrilaterals. This research method was explorative qualitative research with a purposive sampling technique. The subject of this research was a pre-service mathematics teacher who had taken a geometry course. The data analysis techniques used in this study were data condensation, data display, drawing and verifying conclusions. The research results showed that the participant used epistemic actions in an abstraction, such as recognising each quadrilateral type, building-with their properties, constructing relationships among them, and consolidating the abstract results made. Thus, the abstraction in constructing relationships among quadrilaterals can be observed from the epistemic actions: recognising, building-with, constructing, and consolidation, known as RBC+C.

Abstract

Monotonous mathematics learning focusing on textbooks only will make students bored and feel that studying mathematics is useless. Using attractive and meaningful approaches, like STEAM and Quranic approaches, is strongly motivated by the need to avoid tedious drilling for students in learning mathematics. This study aims to assess students' perceptions of the development of mathematics modules using science, technology, engineering, and art (STEAM) and AL-Quran approaches. The research approach employed in this research is embedded in mixed methods. Quantitative data was examined using percentages, while qualitative data were transcribed and then developed into codes, categories, and themes. The study recruited 146 Pidie senior high school students in the natural science stream, and five individuals were selected for one-to-one semi-structured interviews. The results of this study show that students have a negative experience in learning mathematics. However, they have a significant interest in integrated math learning with Quranic and STEAM approaches. Furthermore, they believe the modules are one learning medium ideal for mathematics. Finally, based on this study, mathematics teachers should be able to develop learning modules that can integrate STEAM approaches and the understanding of the Quran for senior high school students.

Abstract

This report delineates the outcomes of an intervention conducted with in-service high school educators, focusing on elucidating three distinct scenarios within geometric and arithmetic domains: the infinitely large, infinitely numerous, and infinitesimally close. Grounded in the theoretical framework of conceptual change, it is posited that when an individual exhibits entrenched conceptions, it signifies a misclassification of the pertinent concept, necessitating a categorical shift to effectuate a transformation in their cognitive schema, particularly concerning the notion of infinity. Thus, the principal objective of this investigation was to ameliorate the entrenched conceptions held by educators pertaining to infinity through a workshop-based intervention. Preceding the workshop, educators predominantly exhibited conceptions aligned with natural and potential infinities. However, after the workshop, a discernible transition was observed, with educators engendering an actual conception of infinity or an omega-epsilon position, exemplified by their acceptance of equivalences such as 0.999…=1 and the parity in the cardinality of sets comprising natural numbers, even numbers, and perfect squares. Nonetheless, notwithstanding this progress, confident educators evinced resistance to embracing the concept of actual infinity, particularly in instances such as the hypothetical scenario depicted in Hilbert's Grand Hotel. Consequently, drawing upon the framework of conceptual change theory, it can be postulated that a complete categorical shift was not universally realized among educators due to their reluctance to revise entrenched beliefs concerning natural or potential infinity.

Abstract

The integration of sports-related contexts into mathematics education, along with the inclusion of guest speakers in classroom settings, is a widely acknowledged pedagogical strategy. This study employs a descriptive research approach to analyze a didactic activity conducted with 86 third-year students pursuing a Degree in Primary Education at the University of the Basque Country. The chosen sport for this activity was Basque pala, featuring a guest speaker renowned as one of the sport's all-time greats. This activity aimed to enhance the future primary school teachers' capacity to develop and select appropriate mathematical educational materials. Data for this research comprise the mathematical inquiries generated by students' post-guest lectures and responses gathered from a post-session survey. Findings reveal that student participants held a notably favorable perception regarding using Basque pala as a mathematical context within primary school education and as a component of their pedagogical training. The involvement of the guest speaker received exceptionally high acclaim. These outcomes remained consistent across two academic years and regardless of respondents' gender. In summary, when introduced by a distinguished practitioner, Basque pala proved to be a fertile ground for generating mathematical tasks and was a highly motivating factor for pre-service teachers.

Abstract

Motivation to learn mathematics decreased due to the inability of teachers to implement innovative learning models and techniques. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of teachers' ability on students' motivation to learn mathematics by using quantitative methods and survey approaches. There were 32 mathematics teachers and 542 students in the 24 schools within the Depok region, selected as respondents through a stratified random sampling method. The research instruments of two questionnaires of teachers’ competence and students’ learning motivation were distributed to the respondents. Data analysis was conducted to test the random effect of teachers’ ability on students’ motivation to learn mathematics by using the effect of teachers’ random intercepts and competence as models 1 and 2, respectively. These two models were analyzed using the n-level Structural Equation Model (nSEM), and the result showed that model 2 was the best one to investigate the random effect of teachers’ ability and students’ learning motivation. The data analysis showed that the variance among teachers’ ability (0,0027) was less than learning motivation among students (0.0597). These findings indicated that the motivation levels of students taught by the same teacher varied significantly, whereas the effects of the teachers were relatively homogeneous. In other words, teachers’ ability was somewhat the same in increasing students’ learning motivation. Based on these findings, this research work suggests teachers keep improving their teaching techniques. Hence, students will be well motivated to learn so that the learning objectives will be well achieved.

Abstract

While previous studies have extensively explored ethnomathematics, the relationship between ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling remains underexamined. This study investigates the connections between ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling and their implications for the institutionalization of mathematics in the context of traditional fish auction activities within the Fishermen's Community in Indramayu, Indonesia. Utilizing an ethnographic design, the study involved participants in various auction roles, including auctioneers, boat owners, captains, crew members, and traders. Data were collected through interviews and observations and analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that ethnomathematical practices are evident in sorting and grading fish, as well as in auction transactions, with connections to mathematical concepts such as set theory, basic statistics, social arithmetic, and arithmetic operations within an ethnomodeling framework. These results suggest that the integration of ethnomathematics and ethnomodeling into the school curriculum could support the institutionalization of mathematics education and provide a foundation for developing instructional materials based on these practices in the context of traditional fish auctions.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the widespread adoption of distance learning, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of how teacher knowledge evolves within the context of Teacher Professional Education (TPE) programs. Some research endeavors may employ evaluation methodologies that inadequately capture the nuanced dimensions of knowledge, highlighting the necessity for greater incorporation of evidence-based approaches in the formulation and assessment of teacher development initiatives. This study employs a qualitative methodology to explore the evolution of Mathematics Teachers' Specialized Knowledge (MTSK) within the framework of a TPE program. Data were gathered through the engagement of three educators in the preparation and execution of lessons on permutation and combination via a Learning Management System (LMS), coupled with in-depth interviews. The findings underscore the TPE program's role in fostering collaborative learning environments through participation in online educational communities. Teachers are shown to be increasingly integrating technology into their pedagogical practices, albeit with varying degrees of proficiency. The presence of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) is identified as instrumental in supporting educators in refining instructional strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness. Nevertheless, there remains a subset of teachers necessitating more profound and more comprehensive content knowledge about their subject matter. These insights emphasize the importance of designing TPE programs that offer sustained and adaptable professional development opportunities to facilitate continuous growth among educators. Consequently, it is recommended that online learning communities geared toward addressing the diverse learning requirements of students be established, thereby aiding in the identification and resolution of pedagogical challenges.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between students' perceptions, interests, and engagement in mathematics within the cultural framework of K-12 education in Kazakhstan. A diverse sample of K-12 students representing various grade levels and community settings was included in the research. The analysis proceeded in three distinct phases: first, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the reliability of the instrument; second, a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was applied to examine relationships between variables and assess the overall model fit; and finally, descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed. Students perceived mathematical abilities and interests were identified as significant predictors of their attitudes toward mathematics teachers, as revealed through SEM. Due to the nature of the data, nonparametric tests were utilized to explore group differences. The findings indicated a consistent pattern of negative student perceptions regarding their mathematical abilities and interests, juxtaposed with positive attitudes toward their mathematics teachers. These positive attitudes were more closely associated with students' personal rapport with teachers rather than their instructional effectiveness. Further analyses examined variations in perceptions across different grade levels and community settings, revealing the influence of contextual factors. Notably, no significant gender differences were observed, challenging existing literature on gender disparities in education. The study underscores the importance of adopting holistic educational strategies that account for cultural contexts and promote teacher-student solid relationships.

Abstract

Research about the optimal methodologies for guiding the training of primary school instructors in the instruction of early algebra remains in the process of determination. This manuscript delineates the methodology involved in developing and validating an assessment tool to evaluate the mathematical acumen of prospective primary educators in the domain of early algebra during their initial pedagogical training, drawing upon the constructs delineated in the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) model. To this end, an instrumental inquiry comprising four distinct phases has been executed: an exhaustive review of extant literature concerning the mathematical proficiency of primary school instructors and the pedagogy of early algebra; formulation of the preliminary version of the assessment instrument; validation of said instrument via expert appraisal and a preliminary application involving ten pre-service primary educators enrolled in a Spanish academic institution; and subsequent refinement and finalization of the assessment tool. This endeavor's outcome culminated in the MKT-Early Algebra Questionnaire (6-12-year-olds), comprising six open-ended inquiries meticulously designed to explore diverse facets of early algebra while aligning with the various sub-domains delineated in the MKT model. It is deduced that the resultant instrument holds promise as an effective diagnostic apparatus, serving dual purposes: elucidating the mathematical proficiency of primary school educators in the context of early algebra and fostering introspection regarding pedagogical strategies conducive to the cultivation of algebraic cognition at this developmental juncture. By furnishing a comprehensive questionnaire that systematically addresses all facets of pedagogical knowledge requisite for the effective instruction of early algebra, this study furnishes invaluable insights into the specific components that should be integrated into teacher education curricula in the domain of algebraic didactics.
