Abstract

This study aims to uncover and analyze hidden misconceptions in algebraic understanding among first-year students in the Mathematics Education Department at a private university in Malang. Conducted from January to March 2024, the research involves two first-year students as subjects. The first subject exhibits the misconception known as "illegal canceling," while the second subject demonstrates the "assumption of distributivity of exponents." Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, diagnostic interviews and problem-solving tasks were employed to identify and understand these misconceptions. Our findings indicate that these hidden misconceptions significantly hinder the students' ability to correctly solve algebraic problems and understand underlying concepts. For the first subject, the error in illegal canceling often led to incorrect simplifications, while the second subject's erroneous application of exponent rules resulted in fundamentally flawed solutions. By systematically categorizing these misconceptions, the study offers tailored instructional strategies to effectively address and correct them. This research highlights the critical need for early detection and targeted intervention in mathematical education. By providing a deeper insight into specific algebraic misunderstandings, the study suggests practical approaches for educators to enhance their teaching methodologies, ultimately improving students' overall algebra comprehension. The novelty of this research lies in its detailed focus on hidden misconceptions and the provision of actionable solutions, offering a fresh perspective on improving algebra education for first year university students.

Abstract

Thinking creatively is an important skill in education, especially for Primary School Teacher Education Study Program (PGSD) students. This ability is crucial for understanding concepts in depth and solving problems innovatively in learning mathematics, especially geometry. However, many students still show limitations in generating creative ideas, especially in the aspects of originality and elaboration. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the creative thinking abilities of PGSD students in open problem-based geometry learning, which gives students the freedom to explore various solutions to solving geometric problems. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with data obtained through interviews, observation, and document analysis. Research informants include lecturers, PGSD students, heads of study programs, librarians, and the curriculum development team at STKIP PGRI Trenggalek. The research results show that the open problem-based learning method effectively improves students' fluency and flexibility. However, several obstacles still required more intensive guidance and supporting technology in originality and elaboration. With the right approach, this method can be a solution to optimize students' creative thinking abilities in learning geometry.

Abstract

Collective argumentation is a process in learning that can be used to train communication skills, collaboration, and understanding of mathematical concepts. In this process, both teachers and students play an active role, which is called participation. This study aims to describe the structure of collective argumentation and teacher and students participation in solving geometry problems in the classroom. This research method is a qualitative case study. The subjects in this study were a mathematics teacher with 11 years of teaching experience at the junior high school level and six 9th-grade students who had an interest in mathematics from two different classes. The structure of collective argumentation shows that this learning focuses on students while the teacher acts as a facilitator. It can be seen from the more significant number of actions taken by students than teachers. In terms of participation, teachers more often act as ghostee, while students participate more as spokesman. Overall, this study reveals the structure of argumentation in solving geometry problems at each stage of Polya. Questions and explanations given by the teacher influence students' collective argumentation. A teacher must have questioning and communication skills so that students can actively participate in learning in the classroom.

Abstract

Mathematical connection is a skill needed to understand mathematical concepts and relate them to formulas taught, once taught, applied in other subjects, and applied to the real world. Every student has differences in terms of mathematical connection ability. This is known as the Adversity Quotient (AQ). AQ is divided into three groups: Climbers, Campers, and Quitters. Apart from the AQ review, an appropriate learning model to improve students' mathematical connections is the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. PBL is a learning model related to everyday problems. This study aims to (1) determine the effect of AQ on mathematical connection skills in the PBL learning model and (2) determine the influence of AQ onmathematical connection skills. The discussion in this article uses the SLR (System Literature review) method searched from Google Scholar, Scimago Journal Rank, and Publish or Perish from 2013 to 2023. The results of this study get 22 relevant articles. Of the 24 articles studied, 14 concluded that mathematical connections are appropriate for PBL learning models, andeight concluded that AQ's effect on students' mathematical connections is proportional or directly proportional. Students with a good AQ will have good math connections.
