Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties encountered by Grade VII students in solving mathematical problems involving algebraic operations. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through problem-solving tests and semi-structured interviews. Students' responses were analyzed and classified into three levels of problem-solving ability: high, moderate, and low. One student was selected from each category for in-depth analysis. The findings reveal that the high-ability student demonstrated a complete understanding of the problem-solving process, including problem interpretation, planning, execution, and review. The moderate-ability student showed partial mastery, with challenges in executing and reviewing the solution plan. Meanwhile, the low-ability student struggled at every stage due to limited conceptual understanding and procedural knowledge. This study highlights the necessity of tailored instructional strategies that address students’ varying levels of mathematical proficiency and foster deeper comprehension in algebraic thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) learning model supported by GeoGebra in improving students' mathematical representation ability. The research was conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Kuningan with two eighth-grade classes as the sample. The experimental class received instruction using the CAI model with GeoGebra, while the control class was taught using a conventional model. The research design employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group. Prior to the intervention, a validation test was conducted on eight essay items through four analyses: validity, reliability, item difficulty, and discrimination index. Data collection involved pretests, six instructional sessions, posttests, and a student response questionnaire. The Mann–Whitney U test was used for hypothesis testing. The results indicated no significant difference in pretest scores between the groups. However, posttest results and N-Gain analysis showed significant improvement in the experimental class. The average response percentage was 83%, categorized as very positive. These findings suggest that the CAI model supported by GeoGebra is effective in enhancing students’ symbolic, visual, and verbal mathematical representation skills, as well as fostering positive student attitudes toward mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of seventh-grade students in solving word problems involving triangle concepts. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Sukadana with three students representing high, moderate, and low performance levels. Data were collected through essay-based test items and follow-up interviews, focusing on five indicators of critical thinking: elementary clarification, basic support, inference, advanced clarification, and strategies and tactics. The findings revealed that students experienced difficulties across all indicators, particularly in integrating strategies and making valid conclusions. Average scores for each indicator demonstrated that students’ critical thinking skills remain at a developing level. This suggests the need for instructional interventions that explicitly foster reasoning, analysis, and reflective thinking. The study highlights the importance of contextual and open-ended problem-solving in developing students’ mathematical understanding and higher-order thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ conceptual understanding in probability based on their levels of mathematics anxiety through the implementation of the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving six students from SMA IT At-Tadzkir who were selected using stratified purposive sampling based on low, moderate, and high levels of mathematics anxiety. Data were collected through anxiety questionnaires, mathematical concept understanding tests, and semi-structured interviews. The test instrument was developed using five indicators of conceptual understanding, including verbal restatement, classification, algorithmic application, representation, and conceptual connection. The findings indicate a strong relationship between mathematics anxiety and students’ conceptual understanding. Students with low anxiety levels demonstrated mastery across all five indicators, showing confidence and logical reasoning in their responses. Those with moderate anxiety showed partial mastery, often hesitating when confronted with complex tasks. In contrast, students with high anxiety levels struggled with most indicators and displayed signs of emotional discomfort during the interview process. These results suggest that mathematics anxiety significantly impacts students' ability to comprehend mathematical concepts, and that the MMP model, while effective, requires additional affective support to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the learning obstacles encountered by students in understanding the concepts of rational and irrational numbers. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving eighth-grade students at a junior high school. The findings reveal three predominant types of obstacles: epistemological, ontogenic, and didactical. Epistemological obstacles are evident in students’ misconceptions regarding irrational numbers, particularly in interpreting them as recurring decimals. Ontogenic obstacles stem from students’ limited prior experiences, especially in connecting fractional concepts with square roots. Meanwhile, didactical obstacles relate to instructional approaches that fail to bridge students’ conceptual understanding. These findings underscore the need for learning designs that align with students’ cognitive structures and incorporate visual representations to facilitate comprehension of rational and irrational number concepts. The study recommends the adoption of constructivist-based instructional strategies to minimize such learning obstacles.

Abstract

This study investigates the critical thinking skills of eighth-grade students in solving quadrilateral problems in mathematics. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with three students selected purposively to represent high, medium, and low levels of critical thinking. Data were collected through written tests and semi-structured interviews and analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data collection, reduction, display, and verification. The findings reveal significant variation in students’ critical thinking abilities. Students with high critical thinking skills demonstrated proficiency in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference, providing accurate solutions to problems and logical conclusions. Medium-level students performed well in interpretation, analysis, and evaluation but partially lacked in inference. Students with low critical thinking skills struggled across all indicators, resulting in incomplete or incorrect solutions to problems. These findings underscore the importance of integrating instructional strategies that promote all dimensions of critical thinking in mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of open-ended LKPD (Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik) on the topic of exponents in enhancing the mathematical conceptual understanding of middle school students. The research employed a pre-experimental design using the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. This design was chosen because the study involved a single experimental group, and the comparison was made between students’ pre-test and post-test scores. Data analysis using the t-test revealed a t-count of 7.741. At a significance level of 5%, the t table value was 1.711, indicating that t count ≥ t table (7.741 ≥ 1.711). Based on hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted. These results suggest that the use of open-ended LKPD significantly improves students’ ability to solve mathematical problems related to exponents. The findings imply that incorporating open-ended worksheets in mathematics instruction can effectively enhance students’ conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.

Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on didactics and praxeology in mathematics education between 2007 and 2024. Drawing on 312 Scopus-indexed publications, the analysis maps publication trends, citation performance, thematic clusters, and country-level contributions. Findings reveal three phases of research development: early epistemological debates (2007–2012), expansion into teacher education and professional development (2013–2018), and a recent focus on didactical design, learning obstacles, and cultural relevance (2019–2024). Citation indicators highlight foundational works by Chevallard, Straesser, and Winsløw, alongside emerging contributions linking theory to classroom practice. Thematic cluster analysis identifies four main domains: didactic foundations, teacher education, learning processes, and equity in mathematics education. Geographically, Europe remains the intellectual hub, but growing contributions from Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa signal increasing global diffusion. The study concludes that didactics and praxeology have evolved into a legitimate and dynamic research domain that bridges theoretical discourse with practical applications, offering implications for researchers, teacher educators, policymakers, and classroom practice

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and causes of learning difficulties among seventh-grade students in solving problems related to plane geometry. The research specifically focuses on identifying challenges in three major dimensions of mathematical learning: conceptual understanding, application of mathematical principles, and problem-solving skills. A descriptive qualitative method was employed to explore students’ learning behaviors and errors in depth. The participants consisted of three seventh-grade students from SMP Negeri 3 Sungai Ambawang, selected through purposive sampling to represent high, medium, and low academic ability groups. Data were collected through open-ended written tests on plane geometry (covering perimeter, area, and real-life applications of two-dimensional shapes) and semi-structured interviews designed to probe students’ reasoning and sources of error. The collected data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by data triangulation to enhance validity. The results reveal three dominant categories of learning difficulties: (1) conceptual misunderstanding, such as misinterpreting formulas for area and perimeter; (2) procedural inaccuracy, including misapplication of principles and arithmetic errors; and (3) problem-solving challenges, particularly in multi-step reasoning and contextual interpretation. These findings demonstrate that students’ errors are interconnected—conceptual weaknesses often trigger procedural and strategic failures. The study concludes that improving students’ geometry achievement requires integrated instructional strategies emphasizing conceptual clarity, contextualized learning, and guided problem-solving practice. Such approaches can enhance students’ reasoning, visualization, and confidence in mathematics learning.
