Abstract

Mathematical literacy has become a crucial competency that prospective mathematics teachers must master, especially in the context of globalization. However, a significant challenge is the low mathematical literacy skills, particularly in communication, reasoning, and mathematical modeling. This study aims to analyze the mathematical literacy skills of prospective mathematics teachers based on their cognitive styles, namely field-independent (FI) and field-dependent (FD). A descriptive qualitative approach was used with four students selected based on cognitive style tests and mathematical literacy tests. The instruments used included PISA-based mathematical literacy tests, the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), semi-structured interviews, and observation sheets. The results indicated that students with the FI cognitive style exhibited better communication, mathematization, representation, and reasoning skills, especially in numerical-based problems. In contrast, students with the FD cognitive style faced difficulties in mathematics, representation, and using symbols and diagrams, particularly in data-based and visual problems. Cognitive style plays a significant role in shaping students' mathematical literacy skills and should be considered in teacher education programs.

Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) is an essential 21st-century skill to prepare students for higher education and future careers. However, comprehensive insights into how CT is effectively implemented in mathematics learning regarding strategies, suitable topics, and integration trends are still limited. This systematic review explores empirical studies on CT in mathematics education from December 2019 to November 2024, sourced from Emerald, EBSCO, and ProQuest databases. Following PRISMA guidelines, 22 articles were selected from an initial 8,518 based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings show that CT strongly supports students’ problem-solving skills, particularly through Project-Based Learning (PjBL), which fosters engagement, collaboration, and algorithmic thinking. Geometry and statistics emerged as the most effective topics for developing CT, as they promote decomposition, pattern recognition, and abstraction skills aligned with junior high school cognitive development. Although CT-related research varies in focus, integrating CT into mathematics remains vital, especially with the rise of digital tools and interdisciplinary learning. This review provides insight into current research trends, key strategies, and appropriate mathematical content for CT development. Recommendations include providing CT training for teachers, embedding CT into the curriculum, and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to equip students with the digital-age competencies needed for real-world problem-solving and conceptual understanding.

Abstract

Mathematics has historically been integrated into everyday life, and Indonesia's cultural heritage, such as the walasuji of the Bugis community, provides a valuable context for learning. This study explores activities involving mathematical concepts found in the making of walasuji. A descriptive qualitative method with an ethnographic approach was used. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews. The findings reveal that making walasuji involves mathematical concepts such as translation, reflection, rotation, and straight-line equations, offering potential as contextual learning resources in schools. Additionally, the sulapa eppa walasuji motif embodies character values manifested in humans, namely intellectuality (acca), courage (warani), honesty (lempu), and wealth (sugi), referred to as sulapa eppa na taue (the philosophy of a quadrilateral human). Integrating cultural artifacts like walasuji into mathematics learning can enhance students' engagement, cultural awareness, and critical thinking skills. This research implies that future mathematics education should incorporate elements of local wisdom to create meaningful, relevant, and culturally responsive learning experiences, aligning mathematics more closely with students' everyday realities and cultural identities.

Abstract

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving students' mathematical literacy by reviewing empirical studies comparing PBL with conventional learning. The results show that PBL significantly improves mathematical literacy, with an effect size of 1.165, categorized as high. However, the effectiveness of PBL is influenced by moderating factors such as education level, student learning style, learning duration, and problem relevance. Findings suggest that PBL is more effective at the junior high school level than senior high school, although the difference is not statistically significant (p > 0.05). This study is limited by the short intervention duration in most analyzed studies and the lack of investigation into external factors like student motivation and teacher roles. Future research is recommended to conduct longitudinal studies, explore the integration of digital tools, and compare the use of real-world and academic problems in PBL. Overall, the findings confirm that PBL is an effective and promising approach for enhancing mathematical literacy when implemented with attention to relevant contextual and learner-specific factors.

Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is vital in preparing students to face future challenges by fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, in border areas such as Indonesia and Malaysia, the implementation of STEM education remains underexplored. This study uses a quantitative descriptive-comparative design to analyze school teachers' understanding of STEM implementation. It involves 44 teachers from the Indonesia-Malaysia border area in Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics and an independent t-test to assess and compare teachers' levels of understanding. The findings indicated moderate scores for STEM knowledge (3.84), implementation practices (3.71), and school support (3.66), while challenges scored low (2.98). In terms of teaching experience, there was no significant difference between teachers with less than 10 years and those with more than 10 years of experience concerning their understanding of STEM implementation in elementary schools. This is attributed to the limited availability of training programs that could enhance teachers' knowledge regarding STEM education.
