Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the enhancement of students’ geometric thinking through the integration of Discovery–Contextual learning strategies with van Hiele’s levels of reasoning. In addition, it examines the contribution of logical–mathematical intelligence to mathematics learning outcomes by synthesizing findings from prior research. Method: The research employed a classroom action research design implemented in three iterative cycles involving 13 fifth-semester mathematics education students. Data were collected through geometry thinking tests, observation notes, and the van Hiele-based assessment tool, then analyzed descriptively to track cognitive development across cycles. Complementing this, a meta-analysis of 41 empirical studies was conducted using a random-effects model to evaluate the consistency of logical–mathematical intelligence on students’ mathematics achievement. Findings: The results indicate steady improvement in students’ geometric reasoning, particularly at the deduction and rigor levels, with mean performance rising from 78.4% in the first cycle to 92.8% in the third. Reflection across cycles also revealed stronger engagement, reflective thinking, and collaborative learning. The meta-analysis further confirmed that logical–mathematical intelligence consistently exerts a strong and stable influence on mathematical performance across different educational stages and contexts. Significance: Findings highlight the pedagogical value of combining Discovery–Contextual learning with van Hiele’s framework to cultivate higher-order geometric thinking. At the same time, the evidence underscores the necessity of integrating logical reasoning into curriculum design and instructional strategies. Together, these contributions provide both theoretical insights and practical guidance for advancing mathematics education, especially in preparing prospective teachers to meet diverse cognitive needs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the problem-solving processes of students with high spatial ability when solving geometry problems based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The research was motivated by the persistently low performance of Indonesian students in international assessments such as PISA and TIMSS, highlighting the need to explore cognitive factors that underpin HOTS, particularly spatial reasoning. Method: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Two students with high spatial ability were selected through a snowball sampling technique, based on spatial ability test results and teacher recommendations. Data were gathered through unstructured interviews and classroom observations, focusing on how the participants approached and solved HOTS-based geometry problems. The collected data were analyzed through three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The findings show that students with high spatial ability demonstrate effective visualization and reasoning processes that enable them to comprehend problem statements, identify relevant information, and design appropriate strategies for solving HOTS-based geometry problems. They can implement their strategies accurately, evaluate their reasoning, and justify their conclusions confidently. Significance: This study underscores the pivotal role of spatial ability in fostering students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills in geometry learning. The findings suggest the need to incorporate spatial reasoning tasks into mathematics instruction and to design HOTS assessment instruments that account for students’ spatial cognitive profiles.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores how Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which emphasises inclusive, equitable, and quality education, is implemented in the context of Indonesian higher education. It focuses on how the quality of teaching processes, curriculum content, and student learning outcomes interact to shape meaningful learning experiences. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative design was used, involving 638 university students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, Indonesia. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM-AMOS) to examine both direct and indirect relationships among instructional practices, curriculum relevance, and learning achievement. Findings: The analysis showed a strong and positive connection between the quality of educational processes and student outcomes. However, weaker or even negative links were observed between process quality and content, as well as between content and outcomes, suggesting that good teaching practices alone are insufficient without a coherent and relevant curriculum design. Significance: This study deepens the understanding of SDG 4 by showing how pedagogy and curriculum alignment jointly contribute to learning equity in universities. The findings offer practical insights for educators and policymakers striving to enhance teaching quality and inclusiveness in higher education.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore how prospective mathematics teachers construct their mathematical identity at different levels of mathematical ability. The research focuses on five key components of mathematical identity: interest, recognition, competence, performance, and belief about the nature of mathematics, and examines how these dimensions interact to shape teachers’ self-perception and readiness for professional practice. Method: A qualitative case study design was employed involving 46 undergraduate students from Mathematics Education programs in the Surakarta region, Indonesia. Three participants representing high, medium, and low mathematical ability levels were purposively selected for in-depth analysis. Data were collected through a non-routine mathematics test, a mathematical identity questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by method triangulation for validity. Finding: The findings reveal variations in the formation of mathematical identity across ability levels. High-ability students demonstrated strong and stable identities characterized by internalized motivation, balanced recognition, and reflective competence. Medium-ability students showed partially developed identities influenced by contextual and social factors, while low-ability students exhibited fragile identities shaped by external motivation yet showed emerging reflective awareness. Significance: These findings highlight that mathematical identity develops dynamically through the interaction of cognitive ability, reflection, and social validation. The study emphasizes the need for identity-oriented pedagogical interventions such as guided reflection, peer teaching, and mentoring to strengthen reflective engagement and intrinsic motivation among prospective mathematics teachers.
