Abstract

The concept image comprises all the cognitive structures in an individual's mind connected with a specific notion. However, if the learning situation is not relevant to help students construct knowledge and provide meaningful experiences, it will affect their concept image. This study aims to examine the concept of the image of the Pythagorean theorem during online-based learning. The research is a qualitative approach, and the method is phenomenological to understand the meaning for the participants of their concept image. Initially, this study enrolled 66 students. Two students were selected as research subjects and acted as resource persons to provide adequate contextualization based on students who answered right and wrong. Data collection combines data from the outcomes of testing the Pythagorean theorem test, interviews, and literature studies. The data analysis technique employed is Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). There are six categories of student concept image. Based on in-depth interviews with two students who answered correctly and incorrectly, students were given inconsistent meanings of the Pythagorean theorem due to the learning situation to improve students' understanding of the subject.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are one of the main objectives of learning Mathematics. HOTS questions are needed so that students are familiar with international standard questions. This study aims to describe the mathematical critical thinking skills of students in the Regular, Accelerated, and Olympic class. Qualitative descriptive research approach with case study design. The subjects of this study were three students who came from different class programs. The research instruments used were tests and interviews. Data analysis used the following procedures: reduction data, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the Regular class students had 'low' critical thinking skills. Regular students are still confused about understanding the main idea of the problem, so the strategies used are not appropriate. Acceleration class students have 'good' critical thinking skills. Accelerated students can answer questions briefly and concisely, less thorough in drawing final conclusions. Olympiad class students have 'very good' critical thinking skills. Student answers are complete and clear. Olympiad class students understand the main purpose and objectives of the questions so that they lead to correct procedures and calculations.

Abstract

Ways of Thinking (WoT) is a fundamental ability that is part of the mental act that students must learn to solve geometry problems. The purpose of this research was to describe how WoT is used to solve geometry problems. This research used the descriptive qualitative methodology with a holistic case study design and data collection techniques such as tests, interviews, observation, documentation, and triangulation. The subjects in this research were 35 fourth-grade students from Sambas Regency Public Elementary Schools, Indonesia. The research focused on three students with varying levels of cognitive abilities: low, medium, and high. The results showed that students with high, medium, and low cognitive capabilities performed mental acts with the corresponding WoT. Students with high, medium and low cognitive capabilities were more likely to work on questions that required interpretation. Besides, it also revealed that errors committed students were learning errors, reading errors, careless errors, conceptual errors, and procedure errors. The implementation of WoT on the topic of geometry can be utilized as an alternate reference for mathematics teachers when developing teaching materials for mathematics learning to increase studentss' mathematical knowledge.

Abstract

The use of statistical concepts in real-life problems has become a challenge for students. This challenge is related to statistical reasoning (SR) ability which is influenced by several factors including cognitive style. Therefore, this research aims to understand the process of statistical reasoning from the perspective of cognitive style. A qualitative method was used and the subjects were students who are pre-service mathematics teachers. The instrument used were Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), statistical reasoning tests, as well as interview guidelines, and the data were analyzed using the qualitative descriptive method. The results showed statistical reasoning of the field independent pre-service mathematics teacher is better than the field dependent. Also, those with the same cognitive style, which is field independent, but different genders showed different reasoning processes. It was concluded that males have better Statistical Reasoning processes than females, and cognitive style as well as gender affect the reasoning abilities.

Abstract

Critical thinking (CT) is convergent thinking that can be explored when students learn mathematics. Yet, CT based on the level of mathematical ability has not been widely explored. The participants involved 30 Year 11 students in Bandung, Indonesia. The research instruments were a written CT ability test and a semi-structured interview guide. Interviews were conducted in-depth to capture very high mathematical abilities until saturated data were obtained. Data saturation occurred during the interview with the 10th participant, where new categories and sub-categories were no longer found. Data was analyzed following an intrinsic case study design based on the post-positivist paradigm through NVivo 12 plus. This study found that students' CT ability level was very high, their thinking abilities varied, and they able to provide solutions to anyone in solving similar problems. This finding will have implications for the variety of students' critical thinking patterns in learning mathematics on the application of the derivatives of algebraic function in high school.
