Abstract

Background: Proportion is a key mathematical concept, but epistemological and didactical learning obstacles can hinder students' understanding. These challenges arise from limited contextual knowledge and procedural teaching methods. Identifying these obstacles through diagnostic assessments helps design effective learning strategies, enhancing students' proportional reasoning and problem-solving skills. Aim: This research aims to describe and analyze students' learning obstacles in Proportion material in terms of Proportional reasoning.. Method: The method used in this case is a research method qualitative focuses on obstacles to learning. Instruments used in studying learning obstacles designed based on the Proportional level of reasoning. The subject of this research comes from Al-Fahmi Palu Junior High School which consists of class VII, Data collection was carried out through written tests, interviews and observations. Result: The results of the research show revealing two main types: epistemological and didactical obstacles. Epistemological obstacles arise due to students' limited contextual knowledge, preventing them from applying known concepts to new problems, as seen in their difficulty modeling proportional relationships correctly. Didactical obstacles stem from procedural teaching methods that emphasize memorization over conceptual understanding, leading students to rely on fixed procedures rather than flexible problem-solving strategies. These findings highlight the need for varied and meaningful learning approaches to help students build a deeper understanding of Proportion concepts. Conclusion: The research found two types of student learning obstacles in solving Proportion problems: epistemological obstacles, due to limited contextual knowledge, and didactical obstacles, arising from teachers' procedural teaching methods and lack of varied practice, leading to difficulties in handling complex proportional reasoning.

Abstract

Purposes: This research investigates the extent to which personality traits, as defined by the MBTI framework, influence students' ability to reason statistically in the context of a mathematical statistics course. The study particularly focuses on examining how distinct cognitive tendencies, categorized within the MBTI’s four dimensions, affect students’ capabilities in understanding, organizing, presenting, and interpreting statistical information. Method: A qualitative case study approach was adopted involving eleven students enrolled in a mathematics education program at a higher education institution in Indonesia. Participants completed the MBTI questionnaire to determine their personality classifications. In addition, a statistical reasoning assessment was administered to evaluate their cognitive strategies across established reasoning indicators. Observational data and written explanations were also gathered to enrich the analysis. The findings were interpreted through descriptive qualitative techniques, with triangulation applied to ensure accuracy and credibility. Findings: The analysis revealed that students identified with the STJ and ESTJ personality types exhibited more proficient reasoning patterns, particularly in applying logical steps and organizing data systematically. On the other hand, participants with NTJ or ISFJ traits showed challenges in representing data visually and articulating their thought processes clearly. Interestingly, the Introvert and Extrovert distinction did not appear to influence performance in a meaningful way. Significance: This study offers insights into the role of personality in learning statistics. It emphasizes the need for differentiated instructional methods. Adapting teaching strategies to accommodate varied personality profiles may enhance student engagement and conceptual mastery in statistical learning environments.

Abstract

Purpose:This study investigates the impact of the Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) model on eighth-grade students’ ability to form mathematical connections at SMP Negeri 1 Martapura. It also examines how varying levels of self-efficacy relate to these connection skills and whether an interaction exists between instructional model (CMP vs. discovery learning) and self-efficacy in influencing outcomes. Method:A quasi-experimental, posttest-only control-group design was used. Two groups of eighth graders were assigned: one received CMP-based instruction and the other discovery-learning lessons. After the intervention, all students completed a standardized connection-skills posttest and a validated self-efficacy questionnaire. Participants were categorized into high- and low-efficacy subgroups. Two-way ANOVA assessed the main effects of instructional model and self-efficacy, as well as their interaction. Findings:Students taught via the CMP model scored significantly higher on mathematical connection tasks than those in the discovery-learning group. Independently, students with high self-efficacy outperformed those with lower self-efficacy. No significant interaction effect was detected, indicating CMP’s benefit across confidence levels. Significance:Findings demonstrate that CMP is a robust approach for enhancing mathematical connection skills regardless of student self-efficacy. They underscore the value of building learner confidence alongside innovative pedagogy and support broader adoption of CMP to strengthen real-world mathematical understanding.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to develop, validate, and evaluate an interactive learning media based on Smart Apps Creator (SAC) to improve second-grade elementary students’ learning outcomes in addition and subtraction. Method: A Research and Development (R&D) approach was applied using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The media was implemented in a real classroom setting involving 29 second-grade students from SD Labschool UNNES. Data were collected through expert validation, pretest-posttest assessments, and student-teacher response questionnaires. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. Findings: The SAC-based media achieved high feasibility ratings from both media (92.6%) and material (89.2%) experts. Student and teacher responses rated the media as “very feasible.” Statistically significant improvements were observed between pretest and posttest results (p < .001), with a high N-Gain score of 0.79. These results indicate that the media effectively enhanced students’ mastery of addition and subtraction. Significance: This study provides empirical evidence supporting the use of SAC-based interactive learning media as an effective tool for early mathematics instruction. The media not only improves cognitive outcomes but also promotes engagement and motivation among young learners. These findings underscore the potential of SAC-based tools to enrich classroom instruction and contribute to the advancement of technology-integrated learning in elementary education.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of peer teaching that incorporates the local wisdom of gusjigang on the algebraic thinking skills of the student with introverted personality. Method: The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a Single Subject Research (SSR) A-B design. The participant was a second-semester mathematics student identified as an introvert. Data were collected through tests, observations and interviews. Analysis was conducted by comparing two phases: the baseline and the intervention. The within-phase analysis considered factors, such as interval duration, trend direction, stability, rate of change and data patterns. The between-phase analysis explored differences in variable values, trend shifts and changes in data levels across the two phases. Findings: The results demonstrate that peer teaching based on gusjigang local wisdom has a positive impact on the algebraic thinking abilities of the introverted student. This is reflected in the increase in the subject’s average score from 21.5 before the intervention to 68.5 after the intervention was implemented. Significance: The implementation of peer teaching infused with local wisdom plays an important role in encouraging introverted students to become more engaged in learning. By creating a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment, this approach helps to improve the algebraic thinking skills of students who are typically less active during mathematics instruction.

Abstract

Background: The expansion of online learning in open and distance education poses new challenges in understanding students’ self-efficacy, particularly in mathematics, a subject that demands both cognitive engagement and emotional resilience. Existing instruments have not adequately captured the distinct sources of self-efficacy relevant to this setting, necessitating the development of a context-specific measurement scale Aim: This study aims to develop and validate the SMOLSES, an instrument designed to assess the sources of self-efficacy, mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and physiological state in the context of online mathematics learning for distance education students. Method: The scale was developed using a questionnaire administered to 105 Mathematics Education students at Universitas Terbuka. Partial Least Squares analysis was used to evaluate the measurement and structural models. The results supported the reliability and validity of the scale, confirming 28 valid items across five constructs. Structural model analysis revealed that physiological state and social persuasion significantly predicted students' belief in their self-efficacy, while vicarious experience showed the strongest correlation with academic performance. Result: SMOLSES provides a reliable tool for diagnosing students’ readiness and guiding instructional design in online mathematics learning. The findings emphasize the importance of social and emotional factors in shaping self-efficacy and learning engagement, particularly in asynchronous environments where peer modeling and support mechanisms are critical. Conclusion: By addressing a critical measurement gap, this study contributes to advancing quality and inclusive education (SDG 4). SMOLSES can inform data driven interventions that enhance student engagement and achievement in open and distance learning settings.
