Abstract

Inspired by the wisdom of Ali bin Abi Talib—that written legacies outlive their authors—this paper presents a scientific narrative exploring the contributions of Professor Jan de Lange (JDL) to the global and Indonesian mathematics education landscape. Renowned for his work in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), JDL played a pivotal role in the transformation of Indonesia’s mathematics education reform in the late 1990s. His engagement began in 1998 when, alongside Prof. Tjeerd Plomp, he responded to an invitation from Prof. R.K. Sembiring to introduce RME as an alternative to the outdated modern mathematics approach. This effort led to the birth of Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI). The reform initiative included the selection and training of Indonesian doctoral candidates through a collaborative workshop held at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), resulting in advanced studies in the Netherlands. Among these scholars was Prof. Zulkardi, who became a central figure in promoting RME and PMRI in Indonesia. JDL’s involvement continued through mentorship, keynote lectures, and academic collaborations, significantly influencing mathematics education policy and practice. His thought-provoking publications reflect his enduring commitment to curiosity-driven, student-centered learning. The paper also acknowledges the contributions of Prof. Kees Hoogland, JDL’s close colleague and fellow RME advocate. Together, their work exemplifies a vision of mathematics as meaningful, contextual, and empowering. Their legacy lives on through generations of educators and learners shaped by their transformative ideas.

Abstract

Effective mathematics instruction requires teachers to diagnose students’ errors and provide scaffolding that is responsive to their learning needs. Yet, pre-service pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) frequently encounter challenges in identifying the nature of students’ mistakes and in designing appropriate instructional support. This study investigates the types of student errors diagnosed by pre-service pre-service mathematics teachers and the scaffolding patterns that emerge from their diagnostic practices. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through video analysis, microteaching, classroom practice, and in depth interviews. The analysis indicates that pre-service pre-service teachers recognized four major categories of student errors: conceptual misunderstandings, procedural inaccuracies, representational mistakes, and strategic misapplications. In addressing these errors, they employed four corresponding scaffolding patterns. Conceptual scaffolding supported students in reconstructing mathematical meaning, procedural scaffolding provided step-by-step guidance, strategic scaffolding encouraged evaluation of alternative approaches, and metacognitive scaffolding fostered reflection on reasoning and symbolic interpretation. These findings underscore scaffolding as a dynamic and adaptive practice shaped by teachers’ professional vision. The study contributes to mathematics teacher education by demonstrating how practice-based programs can strengthen pre-service pre-service teachers’ capacity to notice, diagnose, and respond to students’ thinking, thereby promoting more inclusive and meaningful mathematics learning. This research provides new insights into how pre-service teachers’ scaffolding practices, shaped by error diagnosis, can inform teacher education globally.

Abstract

Mathematics Teacher Educators (MTEs) play a crucial role in advancing effective mathematics education, as they are responsible for preparing future mathematics teachers. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to investigating MTEs’ professional knowledge. However, most existing research has focused primarily on self-studies, wherein MTEs examine their own knowledge and practice, often without considering the perspectives of other professionals. This study addresses this gap by exploring how In-Service Mathematics Teachers (ISMTs) perceive the knowledge that characterizes a “good” MTE. Data were collected via open-ended written interviews with ISMTs working at various school levels and from different regions throughout Italy. The analysis was conducted using the Mathematics Teacher Educator Specialized Knowledge (MTESK) model and incorporated complementary frameworks to capture additional dimensions of MTEs’ knowledge not initially included. Findings indicate that ISMTs value not only strong mathematical understanding and pedagogical content knowledge but also relational, communicative, and affective qualities such as empathy, motivation, and the ability to foster collaborative learning environments. Furthermore, professional teaching experience and familiarity with mathematics education research were identified as important factors contributing to MTE effectiveness. Notably, ISMTs’ perceptions revealed some ambiguity in distinguishing knowledge intended to support teachers from that aimed at students, and highlighted tensions between the theoretical knowledge emphasized by MTEs and the practical, concrete support ISMTs seek. This study contributes to the understanding of MTEs’ professional knowledge by incorporating the perspectives of those they train, thus illuminating often undervalued affective and experiential aspects. The findings offer significant implications for the design of teacher education programs to better address ISMTs’ needs and enhance professional development.

Abstract

In the era of the 21st century and Industrial Revolution 4.0, prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) are expected not only to possess strong mathematical content knowledge but also to develop pedagogical approaches that promote students’ numeracy skills in meaningful and contextually relevant ways. However, despite growing global attention to numeracy, there remains a gap in instructional models that effectively integrate local cultural contexts and technological tools in the preparation of PMTs. Addressing this gap, this study introduces a novel learning trajectory that embeds technology, Javanese ethnomathematics, and Realistic Mathematics Education into a coherent instructional design framework, namely TE-RME aimed at enhancing PMTs' numeracy competencies. The research employed a design research methodology encompassing three iterative stages: preliminary design, design experiments consisting of a pilot and teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. The participants were 25 fifth-semester PMTs enrolled at a private university in Semarang, Indonesia. The resulting trajectory comprises five learning activities, such as orientation to cultural contexts, exploration and problem-solving of numeracy tasks, task design involving numeracy elements, communication and interpretation of mathematical solutions, and instructional design involving the integration of numeracy tasks. Findings revealed that the TE-RME approach effectively supported PMTs in making meaningful connections between culturally embedded practices and everyday mathematical reasoning. By engaging with authentic local contexts, students demonstrated increased fluency in solving numeracy problems and designing contextually relevant learning activities. This research contributes a culturally responsive instructional model for mathematics teacher education and underscores the pedagogical potential of integrating local wisdom with contemporary mathematics education approaches. Implications point to further research exploring other ethnomathematical contexts to enrich mathematics instruction and promote equitable and culturally grounded mathematics learning.

Abstract

Mainstream education often marginalizes the cultural heritage and indigenous knowledge systems of local communities, particularly in mathematics instruction. This study investigates the integration of indigenous pedagogies into geometry education to enhance student engagement and cultural responsiveness. Grounded in a critical constructivist paradigm, the study recognizes knowledge as co-constructed through learners’ cultural experiences and emphasizes the transformative potential of indigenous worldviews in shaping mathematical understanding. It employs a qualitative case study design to explore how traditional knowledge impacts student performance and the challenges faced in its incorporation. Data were collected from teachers, administrators, community elders, and students through interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations. Findings through thematic analysis revealed that indigenous pedagogies, such as traditional geometric patterns and community involvement, enhance student engagement, cultural pride, and geometry performance. Moreover, students demonstrated improved conceptual understanding and enthusiasm when learning activities reflected their cultural contexts. However, challenges include resource limitations, curriculum rigidity, and insufficient professional development. The study recommends creating resources tailored to indigenous pedagogies, greater curricular flexibility, and enhanced administrative support. It concludes by emphasizing the long-term value of integrating indigenous knowledge in mathematics education, not only to improve learning outcomes but also to contribute to cultural sustainability and educational equity in Zambia.

Abstract

Understanding the experience and revealing the perception of users towards the products takes the attraction of many researchers, which increases the popularity of the “design thinking” for different research disciplines.  In order to serve the product to satisfy needs of target users more efficiently and improve the product and user interaction, the design of the product by means of research field, content, process, methodology has also gained importance in mathematics education. In this study, comprehensive literature research on the role of design in mathematics education and use of eye tracking technology is given in detail. It is suggested to create alternative design categories for a special user group as mathematically gifted students while achieving mathematical tasks related to the fraction concept. Five different models of mathematical tasks expressed as written symbols, manipulative models, oral language, picture and real-world situations were designed for mathematically gifted students whose differentiated characteristics and needs require to be searched. Since proposing effective and differentiated content compatible with their needs is crucial, their reactions through gaze behaviors towards different contents were proposed to be recorded with the use of eye tracking technology, which generates quantitative data. In addition to benefiting from the advantageous position of eye tracking technology in providing methodological efficiency for instructional design studies, the data regarding personal evaluations of the students as qualitative judgments were also suggested to be obtained from the participants simultaneously. This proposal highlights the importance of systematical understanding and revealing the hidden interests of gifted students. It also has a potential to provide an initial guide for both design and mathematics education researchers concerning how an optimum mathematical task should be designed and how eye tracking technology can generate a roadmap in the instructional process.

Abstract

Representation plays a central role in mathematical problem solving, serving as a cognitive bridge between abstract concepts and concrete understanding. However, while prior studies have examined the effects of scaffolding in mathematics learning, limited attention has been given to the comparative impact of single versus multiple online representations, particularly in relation to students’ cognitive processes such as eye movement behavior. This study addresses this gap by investigating the effectiveness of online single and multiple representation scaffolding in enhancing students’ mathematical concept mastery, problem-solving performance, and eye movement patterns during problem-solving tasks. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving 300 high school students, randomly assigned to either a multiple representation scaffolding group (n = 150) or a single representation scaffolding group (n = 150). Data were analyzed using one-way MANCOVA, ANCOVA, MANOVA, and ANOVA tests. The results revealed that students who received multiple representation scaffolding outperformed their peers in mastering mathematical concepts, solving complex problems—including advanced-level tasks—and demonstrating more efficient visual processing, indicated by shorter fixation durations and rereading times. Furthermore, these students exhibited more adaptive strategies across varying question types (basic, combination, and advanced). The findings highlight the pedagogical advantage of using multiple representation scaffolding in online mathematics instruction, suggesting that it offers more comprehensive cognitive support and promotes deeper conceptual understanding. This study contributes to the growing body of research on digital scaffolding by evidencing the cognitive and performance-related benefits of multimodal representation and underscores its potential to inform the design of technology-enhanced mathematics learning environments.

Abstract

Effective mathematical communication is essential for developing conceptual understanding and applying mathematics in real-life contexts. However, empirical studies consistently report that students' mathematical communication skills remain insufficiently developed, highlighting a critical gap in instructional practices that effectively foster these competencies. The Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, grounded in six core principles—reality, levels, intertwinement, activity, interactivity, and guidance—has demonstrated promise in promoting meaningful and contextualized learning. Yet, there is limited empirical research that systematically investigates how these principles specifically support the enhancement of students’ mathematical communication. This study addresses that gap by examining how the application of RME principles contributes to the development of communication skills in junior high school mathematics classrooms. Utilizing a qualitative research design, data were gathered from nine schools across three districts through focus group discussions, lesson plan analysis, and classroom observations. Participants included RME experts, education policymakers, school principals, and mathematics teachers. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify how the six RME principles are operationalized in practice and how they align with indicators of students’ mathematical communication. The findings reveal that each principle plays a distinct yet interconnected role in supporting communication—particularly through meaningful contexts, dialogic interactions, and structured teacher guidance. The study offers empirical support for the broader adoption of RME and highlights its potential to increase teacher motivation and instructional quality. It further underscores the importance of sustained professional development—such as mentoring and lesson study—in enhancing teachers' capacity to implement RME effectively. Future research should focus on developing RME-based instructional materials and digital tools, including GeoGebra-integrated worksheets and context-rich problem sets, to amplify its impact within mathematics education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Research on mathematical representations has predominantly emphasized their cognitive and conceptual benefits; however, limited attention has been given to their emotional dimensions, especially within culturally grounded or ethnomathematical contexts. This gap is critical because emotions play a significant role in shaping preservice teachers’ engagement and long-term attitudes toward mathematics. Addressing this issue, the present study introduces a novel perspective by examining how mathematical representations influence the affective responses of prospective primary teachers when tasks are embedded in cultural practices. Employing a mixed-methods design, the study involved 62 preservice teachers who completed a patterning task based on the Javanese Sedekah Bumi ceremony, followed by a researcher-developed questionnaire measuring enjoyment. The results reveal that 79.03% of participants successfully translated verbal descriptions into graphical forms, reflecting a strong visual preference, and that flexible use of multiple representations (72.54%) enhanced both conceptual understanding and positive emotional engagement. Conversely, reliance on a single representation was associated with lower confidence and reduced enjoyment. Notably, 19.35% of participants explicitly reported that the integration of cultural elements increased their motivation and interest. These findings highlight the potential of culturally embedded mathematical tasks not only to foster representational fluency but also to enrich the affective domain, offering valuable implications for the design of teacher education curricula that promote both cognitive and emotional development in mathematics learning.

Abstract

Mathematics anxiety is a well-documented affective factor that negatively influences students’ learning processes and academic achievement. While the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS) is among the most established instruments for assessing this construct, it was originally developed for adolescents and adults, thereby limiting its applicability for younger learners. Despite increasing recognition of the early onset of mathematics anxiety, few validated instruments exist for measuring this phenomenon in elementary school students, particularly within non-Western contexts. Addressing this gap, the present study introduces a culturally and developmentally appropriate adaptation of the MARS for Indonesian elementary students aged 10–12 years. Employing a quantitative psychometric approach with a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 324 students via an online questionnaire. The MARS-30 was linguistically simplified and contextually adapted to suit the cognitive and emotional characteristics of younger learners. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed a two-factor solution—Mathematics Test Anxiety and Numerical Anxiety—accounting for 57.62% of the total variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) further supported this structure, yielding satisfactory model fit indices (CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.06, and SRMR = 0.05). Internal consistency reliability was high for the overall scale (α = 0.87) and its subscales (Mathematics Test Anxiety: α = 0.85; Numerical Anxiety: α = 0.84). These results provide robust empirical evidence for the multidimensional nature of mathematics anxiety in children and validate the adapted MARS as a psychometrically sound instrument for use in Indonesian elementary educational settings. The findings underscore the importance of early detection and culturally responsive assessment of mathematics anxiety, informing future research and intervention strategies aimed at mitigating its long-term educational impact.
