Abstract

The concept of exponentials and logarithms is one of the essential concepts in mathematics as part of transcendent functions. However, students' understanding of these two concepts has yet to be fully mastered, so there are still errors in solving problems related to these two concepts. This study aims to describe the meaning and meaning process and explore the potential learning obstacles of students based on the meaning and experience of students in obtaining the meaning of exponents and logarithms in senior high school. This qualitative study uses a hermeneutic phenomenological approach with student participants and high school mathematics teachers. Data was collected using tests, documentation, and interviews with students and teachers. Data were analyzed qualitatively to identify learning obstacles and the meaning of exponentials and logarithms. The results showed the meaning of exponents and logarithms according to students, namely exponents as power numbers and logarithms as the opposite of power numbers. In addition, the results also show the existence of learning obstacles in students, both ontogenic, epistemological, and didactic. Based on the findings, these learning obstacles can be considered when developing an appropriate didactic design.

Abstract

The Museum of Perjuangan Subkoss Garuda Sriwijaya is a museum that preserves the history of South Sumatra’s struglle against the Dutch and Japanese colonialists. This research aims to obtain the results of an ethnomathematics study from the Museum of Perjuangan Subkoss Garuda Sriwijaya regarding historical, philosophical, and mathematical aspects and implement it in the Merdeka Curriculum in mathematics for elementary schools. This research employs an ethnographic approach with a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing observation, interviews, documentation, field notes, and data triangulation. The analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusions drawings. The study involved three informants who had direct interaction with the Museum of Perjuangan Subkoss Garuda Sriwijaya. The results of this research shows that ethnomathematics studies offer several insights: the historical aspect introduces local history and culture through artifacts that supported the struggle during the physical revolution; the philosophical aspectteaches the values ​​of caring, cooperation, creativity, and diversity within society; and the mathematical concepts reveals the concept of geometry, including area, perimeter, volume of both two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional figures, and length measurement.

Abstract

The lack of understanding and skills in solving mathematical problems is now a significant concern in many countries. Other factors, such as learning interests, influence students' understanding of these concepts. Therefore, it is necessary to explore students' understanding of arithmetic (profit and loss) based on Bruner's theory regarding learning interest. The study was conducted at a Vocational School in East Java, Indonesia, with 26 students participating as research subjects. The research methodology used was qualitative, with data collected through questionnaires on learning interests, profit and loss concept tests, and interviews. Data were analyzed using a process of reduction, presentation, and conclusions. The findings revealed that subjects with high and medium learning interest categories can meet the stages of Bruner's theory (enactive, iconic, and symbolic). However, subjects with medium learning interests do not need help understanding what happens in the problem—the subject with low learning interest can only reach iconic and symbolic stages in Bruner's theory. Thus, teachers should design appropriate learning strategies and media for students with medium and low learning interests so that they have a good conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an assessment instrument for strengthening students' Pancasila profile in middle school mathematics teaching, which teachers can use. This research follows a development process using the Plomp model, consisting of three phases. The respondents involved in this study were six experts in mathematics education and information technology, 23 middle school mathematics teachers, and 1,297 students. The research results show that Aiken's V value is 0.89, which exceeds the v-table of 0.630, indicating good validity. The Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis results indicate a strong outcome, with a value of 0.751. Confirmatory factor analysis using the R program showed significant factor loadings with a p-value < 0.05. Apart from that, the achievement percentage for all dimensions is in the good category, with an average achievement of 87.06%. These results prove that the assessment instrument developed is suitable for teachers to measure the strengthening of Pancasila student profiles in mathematics teaching at school. The developed instrument can be used as an effective evaluation tool in mathematics teaching to strengthen the Pancasila Learner Profile and help identify areas that require improvement in teaching to achieve a more balanced profile across all dimensions.

Abstract

The ability to solve problems involving fractions is a fundamental aspect of mathematics education. This study explores how Pre-Service Primary School Teachers approach problem-solving in fractional computations. A workbook is designed to support pre-service primary school teachers ' computational thinking in fraction-context challenges. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method encompassing interviews, study documentation, and observation to assess fraction computation problem-solving abilities. Twenty-seven participants were involved in this study. They were first-year students enrolled in the Primary School Teacher Education Department at one of the private universities in Jakarta, Indonesia. The findings reveal a notable outcome in pre-service primary school teachers ' understanding of fraction computation problem-solving, marked by recognizable strategies in their problem-solving approach. This research suggests that designing a series of workbooks containing various strategies in computational fractions and building a strong fractional number sense can help pre-service teachers reduce misconceptions and better understand fraction operations. These findings offer guidance for mathematics teacher education on how to effectively teach and embed the concept of fraction calculations to their future students so that they can only teach procedurally if they understand the meaning of fraction operations.
