Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the contribution of logical-mathematical intelligence to students' mathematics learning and investigates whether certain contextual factors act as moderators of this relationship. Method: A meta-analysis was conducted by synthesizing findings from empirical studies published between 2014 and 2024. The research followed a systematic review protocol using the PRISMA method, selecting only quantitative studies that focused on the relationship between logical-mathematical intelligence and variables in mathematics education. Data from eligible studies were analyzed using meta-analytic software to estimate effect sizes and assess the influence of various moderator variables, including educational level, sample size, year of publication, and geographical context. Findings: The results demonstrate a strong and consistent relationship between logical-mathematical intelligence and mathematics learning. Students with higher levels of this intelligence tend to perform better in understanding concepts, solving problems, and achieving learning goals in mathematics. While the influence of this intelligence appears stable across different educational levels and locations, notable variations were found based on the sample sizes of the included studies. Significance: The findings emphasize the essential role of logical-mathematical intelligence in mathematics education. Educators are encouraged to integrate teaching strategies that nurture this intelligence through problem-based learning, logical reasoning activities, and concept visualization tools. This study also calls for future research to explore additional moderating factors, such as gender or teaching style, to gain a more nuanced understanding of how this form of intelligence interacts with diverse learning environments.

Abstract

Purpose: Low reflective thinking skills are often linked to learning approaches that do not foster critical and reflective abilities. This study aims to examine the contribution of student characteristics, based on the Big Five personality traits, to the development of reflective thinking skills in basic algebra.Method: A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative phase involved administering questionnaires and tests to 229 students in Palu, Indonesia was selected through stratified random sampling. The research variables included student characteristics (measured using the Big Five scale) and reflective thinking skills in basic algebra. Data were analyzed using SPSS, including validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and linear regression. The qualitative phase involved interviews, with data validity ensured through triangulation and member checking.Findings: The results indicate that student personality characteristics contribute 17.9 percent to reflective thinking skills in basic algebra. Specifically, extroversion contributed 3.4 percent, agreeableness 7.5 percent, conscientiousness 9.2 percent, neuroticism 12.9 percent, and openness to experience 4.8 percent. Among these, conscientiousness and neuroticism were the dominant influencing factors. However, further analysis revealed that openness to experience and conscientiousness significantly enhance reflective thinking, while neuroticism does not have a significant impact. Openness to experience supports creativity and critical thinking, whereas conscientiousness is linked to discipline and structured learning, both of which encourage reflection.Significance: These findings highlight the importance of considering individual personality traits when designing learning strategies to foster reflective thinking skills. By integrating personality-based approaches, educators can create more effective learning environments that enhance students’ ability to think reflectively in mathematics.

Abstract

Purpose: Mathematics is a compulsory subject in education due to its extensive application in daily life. However, in reality, many students still face difficulties in understanding and learning mathematics. One of the key competencies in mathematics education that students need to master is mathematical communication skills. This study aims to analyze the effect of applying the constructivism approach on the mathematical communication skills of grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Bayang Utara. Method: This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a randomized control group only design. The population in this study is all grade VIII students, and the sampling technique is carried out by saturated samples. The sample consisted of two classes, namely an experimental class that used a constructivist approach and a control class that used conventional learning methods. The research instrument is in the form of an essay test that measures students' mathematical communication skills. Findings: The results showed that the average mathematical communication ability of students in the experimental class (81.67) was higher than that of the control class (71.64). Statistical tests with t-tests showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups at a real level of α = 0.05. This proves that the constructivism approach has a significant positive influence on students' mathematical communication skills. Significance: The results of this study show that the constructivist approach enhances students' mathematical communication skills by encouraging active knowledge construction through interaction and exploration. This helps students convey mathematical ideas more effectively, improving their ability to explain problems clearly and logically. These findings imply that the constructivist approach can support the improvement of mathematical learning outcomes, particularly in communication skills, which are essential for developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of application-based problems in systems of linear equations through the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on students’ critical thinking abilities. Critical thinking is a vital 21st-century skill, yet Indonesian students often demonstrate low proficiency in this area, particularly in mathematical contexts such as linear algebra. Method: A mixed-methods design was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. The participants were 28 students from STKIP Kusuma Negara, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests involving application problems, including chemical reaction equations and polynomial interpolation. Additionally, six students were selected for in-depth qualitative analysis based on their initial critical thinking levels. The data were analyzed using descriptive methods and N-gain calculations. Findings: Findings showed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills after the intervention. The post-test average score increased to 81.93 with an N-gain score of 0.61, categorized as moderate. High-achieving students met all critical thinking indicators, while those with moderate or low abilities showed partial improvement. The use of structured learning worksheets (LKM) and real-world mathematical tasks within the PjBL framework effectively facilitated students’ ability to interpret, analyze, evaluate, and draw conclusions. Significance: This study demonstrates the potential of the PjBL model in fostering critical thinking, especially when combined with contextualized algebra problems. These findings offer practical implications for mathematics instruction, particularly in preparing future educators to promote analytical and reflective learning practices.
