Abstract

Previous studies have tried to improve students' independence in online mathematics learning. However, the Flipped Learning model integrated with GeoGebra is scarce as none of the existing syntaxes accommodate the model. As the existing syntax is based on three phases: pre-class activity, in-class activity, and post-class activity. This research aims to develop GeoGebra-based Flipped Learning syntax to increase students' independence in learning mathematics. The main difference between the existing syntax and the developed one is the integration of GeoGebra in the pre-class activity. The integration is based on previous studies showing that using GeoGebra can improve student’s learning achievements. It research employed the Design-Based Research (DBR) model involving 125 second-year undergraduate students of a private university in Indonesia. The syntax results were obtained from the study, indicating an increase in the average value of student independence in learning mathematics based on learning independence, confidence, level of discipline, sense of responsibility, level of initiative, and self-control. This developed syntax is expected to help teachers streamline online mathematics learning.

Abstract

Algebra is an important branch of mathematics which applies to many fields related to mathematics. However, many studies show algebra as posing problems even to the most gifted students. This phenomenon, therefore, necessitates more studies to be conducted in this area. As such, the study explored the types of errors that Grade 8 learners committed in simplifying algebraic expressions and the misconceptions that might have given rise to such errors. Ninety-five Grade 8 learners were selected as the subjects of the study at one high school in Lesotho. Within the framework of the Qualitative case study design, the study used tasks and interviews for data collection. The thematic approach to data analysis within the framework of the constructivist theory was adopted. The study identified most errors committed by the learners as persistent. Overgeneralizing the rules of prior knowledge to new knowledge, particularly in different contexts, was the most frequent cause of the errors. In addition to this was the misunderstanding and misinterpretation of correct meanings in the given context.  Some of the identified errors overlapped with those in the reviewed literature while others did not.

Abstract

Promoted action is an activity offered by the teacher to students so that they can develop new knowledge or experience. The promoted action chosen by the teacher will depend on the knowledge possessed by the teacher. It is commonly referred to as pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). In addition, to become a professional teacher with a well-measured PCK, the prospective teacher has been trained since the lecturing process. This study aims to describe promoting the actions of prospective teacher students in learning mathematics online. It is descriptive qualitative research on the subject of four students who take the peer teaching program. Subject selection was based on the PCK criteria of subjects with categories 0-0, 0-1, 1-0, and 1-1, which indicated the order of levels of pedagogical knowledge- content knowledge. Data collection methods are tests to determine the PCK of prospective subjects, observation of the learning process, and documentation of learning records. The triangulation used to see the credibility of the data is time triangulation. The results showed that all subjects elicited promoted actions in motivation, concentration, processing, and exploration phases. The four students have different ways of bringing up encouraging action based on their ability criteria.

Abstract

It is widely agreed that knowing how prospective teachers develop analogical reasoning in solving problems is important. Some problem solving is domain specific and require particular ways of analogical reasoning skill, therefore this study aims to reveal the development of analogical reasoning and strategies used by prospective teachers. The research design use a qualitative method. As many as 69 mathematics prospective teachers were involved voluntarily to complete algebraic tasks and 12 of them were interviewed to investigate their analogical reasoning and solution strategies. The data analysis used the Ruppert’s framework consisting of four components: structuring, mapping, applying, and verifying. It was found that the first three components were fully performed by the prospective teachers. However, the verifying stage was applied by prospective teachers in different ways. The dominant strategy used was a combined strategy of multiplication and addition. Their strategies varied according to the subjects’ general ability. The more strategies employed in solving problems, the better their analogical reasoning becomes. This implies that instructional designs that will be developed by prospective teachers may vary. Therefore, during their candidature, they should be provided by many solving strategies in problem solving to develop students’ analogical reasoning.

Abstract

Understanding the experiences of those undergoing teacher education and their educators is central to pedagogical practices. While some studies have found that experiences and beliefs influence instructional decisions, others revealed that practice influences beliefs. Although the complexity of the relationship between conceptions and practice defies the simplicity of cause and effect, much of the contrast in the teachers’ instructional emphasis may be explained by differences in their prevailing views of mathematics. As such, the present study examined the experiences and beliefs of mathematics student teachers and their teacher educators on their practices. The study employed a qualitative research approach and a case study design; data was gathered using document reviews, observations, and interviews. For this study, seventy-five mathematics student teachers and six mathematics teacher educators were purposively sampled from three traditional South African universities. Data collected for this study were analyzed thematically. Research findings revealed that teacher education program positively influences mathematics student teachers’ beliefs of their practices. On the contrary, mathematics teacher educators’ educational background and teaching experiences contribute little to no to their teaching, making their practices authoritative. The study concludes that the emotional, relational, and moral viability of pedagogical methods is dependent on the experiences of those undergoing mathematics teacher preparation programs and their educators. As a result, development programs for mathematics teacher educators are critical, with the goal of upskilling them in how to set up and manage more participatory classrooms

Abstract

Absence of inquiry about meaning of mathematical objects learners deal with has permeated the school mathematics curriculum. Deep learning through questioning situations can be achieved if learners are helped to embrace the argumentation discourse in their problem solving efforts.  This paper reports on a study that investigated linkages between the kinds of mathematical arguments constructed by students and the students’ grasp of the concept of problem solving.  With the overall goal of teasing out such linkages a questionnaire that elicited likert-style and textual data was administered to 30 undergraduate and 5 postgraduate mathematics education students. The two data sources were triangulated with reflective interviews guided by students’ written responses and their validations on likert items. Descriptive statistics were applied to likert data and directed content analysis was used to analyze and interpret the qualitative data. The study concluded that students lacked appropriate conceptions of the notion of problem solving and in particular their thinking as reflected in their arguments that contradicted current understandings on the construct. The fragile grasp of the idea of mathematical problem solving uncovered by this study has the potential to inform mathematics instruction

Abstract

This article reports consequential implications of mathematics student teachers’ definitions of the function concept. The implications emanated from scrutiny of written definitions, and exploration of demonstrated ability to identify functions and translate them into different representations. A qualitative study characterized by a case study design was conducted. Four student teachers of mathematics education at a public university constitute the sample. Whereas the study site was conveniently chosen, the participants were a sub-sample in the principal study selected using extreme case strategy. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews preceded by student teachers’ written definitions of the function concept. Explorations of the written work and interview transcripts suggest that the student teachers’ definitions of a function were dominated by a narrow view that all functions are one-to-one relations. Notwithstanding, the participants’ conception of one-to-one functions was superficial. The student teachers’ flawed definitions of a function influenced their inability to correctly identify functions. Likewise, those definitions were consistent with the student teachers’ incapacity to translate functions accurately from one kind of representation into another. These findings underscore the necessity for mathematics teacher educators to facilitate student teachers’ development of correct definitions and appropriate concept images of the function concept.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze woven bamboo models in Yogyakarta based on Liki Design. Liki Design was sand painting design which was analyzed by Paul Gerdes. This study also described the integration of the results analysis in school mathematics. This research is a qualitative with an ethnomathematics approach. The woven bamboo model was analyzed based on the stages of data collection through interviews, documentation and collection of audiovisual materials, data separation, data analysis carried out by determining the main motif, coding the woven motifs into a matrix, analyzing using Liki Design, and conducting assessments between raters to prove the validity of the results.  Based on the results by analyzed of 13 woven bamboo motifs obtained 6 corresponding matrix models. The integration of research results can be done in 2 ways, namely as context and content. As a context, the results of the analysis of woven motifs could be used to teach the context of matrix orders, number motifs, matrix operations, and geometric transformations. While integration in terms of content, research results can be used as content for mathematical exploration and technological literacy in the learning process.
