Abstract

Misconceptions are an important aspect of learning and teaching mathematics. What are effective ways for teachers to confront misconceptions and prevent their reoccurrence? This mixed-methods study examined instrumental and conceptual understandings of students’ errors, mistakes, and misconceptions in a 7th grade mathematics classroom utilizing the ‘My Favorite No’ strategy. Fifty-five students from a Midwest middle school were divided into two groups with similar abilities, with one group confronting misconceptions using the ‘My Favorite No” strategy while the other group received information about a potential error directly from a teacher. A brief survey of questions followed for students in the “My Favorite No’ class. One group was concerned with conceptual understanding and making connections, and able to solve similar problems. In the second group, students improved from pretests, yet did not improve as much as students using ‘My Favorite No.’ Thus, teachers are encouraged to consider using “My Favorite No” a strategy where students are in an environment in which they discover their errors and believe in the value of making a mistake.

Abstract

Critical thinking equips a person with the competencies needed and develops the power of the mind extensively. The development of critical thinking is known as an essential goal in educational systems. However, the assessment of critical thinking is not an easy feat. This study validated the critical thinking skills test in mathematics for senior high school students based on a model of critical thinking skills and learning areas of the K to 12 Mathematics Curriculum. The instrument validation process to 902 respondents through cluster sampling from different senior high schools. With an initial 45 items on three dimensions of critical thinking, the test's final form consisted of only 30 items after the items were screened based on the validation process. The content validation was carried out through an expert examination of the items and a comparison of the test results developed with Cornell's critical thinking for criterion-related validity evidence (r = 0.299, p < 0.01). Construct validation by factor analysis, and results generated 13 factors accounting for 58.51% of the variance. These results indicated that the developed mathematics critical thinking test measured other than the specified critical thinking skills model used. The developed test may try to assess students' critical thinking in the context of mathematics. Furthermore, this may contribute to promoting teaching and assessment strategies gears towards the development of students' mathematical critical thinking.

Abstract

Problem posing represents a valuable strategy to create a bridge between mathematics classroom activities and everyday-life experiences. Despite the value of problem posing activities as opportunities for measuring students’ mathematical learning outcomes, more research is needed in investigating if and how problem posing could support the introduction of new mathematical knowledge promoting the development of mathematical concepts. The aim of this paper is to start investigating how problem posing can extend students’ mathematical knowledge. After having introduced the notion of emergent problem posing, some results from a teaching experiment conducted in a primary school class are reported. The design of the teaching experiment was explicated through the development of the three components of a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory: learning goal; hypothetical learning process; learning activities. Results from the study indicate that semi-structured problem posing activities that start from a suitable artifact could support the emergence of new mathematical knowledge, supporting students’ in re-inventing mathematical strategies to solve problems posed by themselves. However, further research is necessary, especially in: supporting the notion of emergent problem posing with more teaching experiments; investigating the role of different artifacts in supporting the process of emergent problem-posing; evaluating which characteristics an artifact should have in order to support the process of emergent problem posing; examining possible relations between students’ abilities and emergent problem posing performances

Abstract

This study aims to describe mathematical reasoning abilities in terms of student motivation in class VIII SMP Negeri Satap 1 Lambandia. This type of research is qualitative. The subjects of this study consisted of 20 students of class VIII SMP Negeri Satap 1 Lambandia. The instrument used is a mathematical reasoning ability test consisting of 4 questions, a learning motivation questionnaire consisting of 16 statements, and interview guidelines. The results showed that; 1) The average mathematical reasoning ability of students is 40.78 which is in the fairly low category. Many students who have a high level of ability score is 1 (5%), students with a moderately low ability score of 10 (50%), and many students who have a low ability score are 9 (45%); 2) The number of students with high levels of learning motivation is 7 students (35%), moderate learning motivation is 5 students (25%), and low learning motivation is 8 (40%); 3) Students with high learning motivation have the highest average ability with an average score of 48.66 with quite low criteria, followed by students with moderate and low learning motivation with scores of 40 and 35.15, both of which are in the criteria low. Subjects with high learning motivation are generally able to understand 3 indicators of mathematical reasoning, namely using patterns and relationships to analyze mathematically, estimate the completion process and develop valid arguments using systematic steps. Subjects with moderate and low learning motivation were only able to understand 3 indicators, namely using patterns and relationships to analyze mathematically, estimate the completion process and develop valid arguments using systematic steps. So it can be said that high, medium and low learning motivation has the same level of reasoning ability, namely in the low category.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve learning outcomes in the subjects of Basics and Mathematics Learning Process. This study uses a pre-experimental one group pre post design. The research subjects are prospective student teachers who take the Basics and Mathematics Learning Process course consisting of 41 students in 2020. The instrument used is a test instrument that is given before and after treatment in the form of pretest and posttest. Data analysis used two mean differences, namely paired two sample t-test, but previously tested for normal distribution using Kolmogorof Sminov. To see the improvement in learning outcomes, both data were analyzed by N-Gain. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the average pretest and posttest were different where the posttest average was 77.44 higher than the pretest average was 62.68. The results of the two-average difference test show a significance value (2 tailed) (0,000) < ? (0.05), which means that the average pretest and posttest are significantly different. The results of the N-Gain calculation show that the increase in learning outcomes is included in the medium category, so that an increase in learning outcomes is obtained Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the use of instructional video media can improve learning outcomes for the Basic Learning Process and Mathematics courses. This is possible because videos about learning can represent teaching simulations more than just lectures or discussions.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to improve the learning outcomes of Mathematics through the Geogebra-assisted Active Index Card Match method for students in class VIIIC of SMP Negeri 3 Kolaka. This type of research is classroom-based action research that is conducted collaboratively between teachers, observers, and researchers with research procedures that include planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The type of data obtained are quantitative data from the results of learning tests and qualitative data through observation sheets. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Kolaka from 2 to 28 May 2019 in class VIIIC with a total of 26 students. The results of the study refer to the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM), that is, 80% of the students obtained a score of 68. The average score of the initial test results is 49.67. After the evaluation of the first cycle of action, the classic completeness reaches 50.00% (mean value 67.12%). This means that the first cycle of action increased from the daily test results of students. According to the results of the second cycle of action tests, the classic completeness was 80.77% (the average value was 76.30). It can therefore be concluded that the Geogebra Active Index Card Match assisted learning method can improve the learning outcomes of Mathematics for the students of class VIIIC of SMP Negeri 3 Kolaka.
