Abstract

This study aims to analyze the profile of basic mathematical skills and misconceptions of prospective elementary school teachers (PGSD students) and to describe the relationship between these two constructs. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 282 PGSD students from five state universities through a basic mathematics ability test, an error analysis sheet, and a misconception classification rubric that had been validated by experts and tested for reliability. Descriptive statistics were applied to map students’ abilities across five domains (numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis/probability), while qualitative error analysis was employed to identify conceptual, procedural, misinterpretation, and careless errors as indicators of misconceptions. The findings show that students’ basic mathematical skills are generally in the moderate category, with the highest mean score in geometry and the lowest in algebra, and that conceptual errors (44.1%) are the most dominant, especially in numbers and operations and algebra. The analysis further reveals a clear pattern that lower levels of basic mathematical skills are associated with higher levels of misconception, indicating that misconceptions are rooted in weak conceptual understanding rather than mere carelessness. This study contributes to the field of education by offering an integrated empirical profile of basic skills and misconceptions among prospective elementary school teachers as a basis for developing diagnostic assessments and strengthening PGSD curricula that emphasize conceptual understanding in basic mathematics learning.

Abstract

Mathematics education has faced persistent challenges in student engagement, spatial reasoning, and real-world relevance. Among innovative approaches, math trails have emerged in the last decade to integrate contextual, spatial, and technology-enhanced learning experiences. This study presents a systematic review (2013–2025) examining how math trails contribute to contextual learning, enhance student engagement, and develop spatial reasoning skills. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 50 relevant peer-reviewed studies were identified via Boolean searches in major databases (Scopus, ERIC, SpringerLink, MDPI, etc.) and analyzed using thematic synthesis. Three major themes were identified. First, math trails situate mathematics in authentic contexts, linking mathematical ideas to real environments and encouraging students to model real-world situations. Second, math trails promote active, collaborative learning that increases student interest and participation. Third, math trails improve spatial reasoning through tasks involving navigation, measurement, and visual-spatial problem-solving in outdoor settings. The literature goes on to say that using mobile apps and tasks that are relevant to students' cultures can improve math trails when they are used with clear learning goals and reflection. Overall, the findings suggest that math trails are a multidimensional pedagogical approach that bridges theory and practice, yielding both cognitive and affective benefits. Future research should investigate long-term impacts, cross-context adaptations, and scalable models for broader classroom adoption.

Abstract

While teacher competence is widely acknowledged as crucial for student success, the relative importance of its specific dimensions—pedagogical versus professional competence—remains less clear, particularly in specific local contexts of primary mathematics education. This correlational study investigated the distinct impacts of these two competencies on the mathematics achievement of 45 sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 7 Buntok, Indonesia. Data were collected through a validated teacher competency questionnaire (completed by 3 class teachers) and a curriculum-based mathematics test. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that both competencies significantly predicted student achievement, jointly explaining 54.1% of the variance in scores. Notably, pedagogical competence (β = 0.59, p = 0.001) emerged as a stronger unique predictor than professional competence (β = 0.38, p = 0.010). These findings underscore that while deep content knowledge is necessary, the ability to design, deliver, and manage effective instruction is paramount for enhancing student learning outcomes. The study provides empirical evidence for prioritizing pedagogical skill development in teacher training and professional development programs to improve primary mathematics education.

Abstract

Despite its importance, students' difficulty in comprehending and solving mathematical word problems persists in elementary education. This quasi-experimental study examines the effectiveness of Polya’s four-step problem-solving strategy in improving this competency. Fifth-grade students (N=45) from SD Negeri 7 Buntok were assigned to an experimental group (taught using Polya’s strategy) and a control group (conventional instruction). A pretest-posttest design with a mathematical word problem test, scored via an analytic rubric, measured competency in problem understanding, solution process, accuracy, and answer correctness. Results showed a significantly greater improvement in the experimental group (pretest M=58.2, posttest M=78.6) compared to the control group (pretest M=56.9, posttest M=65.3). Statistical analysis (independent samples t-test) confirmed a significant difference between the groups' posttest scores (p < 0.05). The findings demonstrate that explicitly teaching Polya's strategy significantly enhances students' systematic problem-solving skills and conceptual understanding of word problems. This study provides empirical evidence for integrating structured heuristic strategies into primary mathematics curricula to build foundational problem-solving proficiency.

Abstract

The dynamics of education in the 21st century demand a pedagogical transformation towards holistic competency development. This study aims to analyze the research trend of Deep Learning as a pedagogical approach to social studies learning in elementary schools. Using bibliometric methods, this study mapped the intellectual structure of 574 scientific articles (2021–2025) sourced from Google Scholar through the Publish or Perish software and VOSviewer. The results of the network visualization analysis identified five main clusters that showed a shift in focus from the technical aspects of computing towards the integration of intelligent technologies in classroom practice. The publication trend jumped significantly after 2023, with the latest topics focusing on critical thinking, creativity, and artificial intelligence (AI) literacy. Density analysis reveals research gaps: the literature is dominated by science and STEM content, with little exploration of the social dimension (social studies) or local wisdom. This research concludes that Deep Learning has developed into a technological entity that supports the achievement of the 8 Dimensions of the Graduate Profile through the principles of mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. The practical implications provide guidance for educators to integrate technology scaffolding with in-depth inquiry, shaping adaptive lifelong learners in the era of disruption.
