2025-03-16T18:00:24+08:00

Mental behavior is the activities that occur in a person's mind when solving mathematical problems. These activities are important to explore in problem solving, but exploration of activities is still rarely done by lecturers. This study aims to describe mental activities in solving mathematical problems of students who have high mathematical abilities and field independent (FI) and field dependent (FD) cognitive styles. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with the subjects of the study being mathematics education students at Syiah Kuala University in the 2023 academic year. Data collection techniques were carried out using problem-solving tests and interviews. Data analysis was carried out by data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was carried out by time triangulation. The results of the analysis obtained mental activities in problem solving displayed by students with high mathematical abilities and FI cognitive styles were more complete than students with FD cognitive styles in the activities of reading questions, understanding questions, linking information and explaining solutions, but the mental activities displayed by FI were the same as FD at the calculation and manipulation stages. Therefore, it is necessary to provide experience to FD students to

Analysis of Junior High School Students' Numeracy Literacy in Solving Minimum Competency Assessment Model (AKM) Questions on Number Content

2025-03-16T18:00:24+08:00

This research aims to describe and analyze the numeracy literacy abilities of junior high school students in solving AKM model questions on number content. The type of research used in this research is descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects studied were 36 students in class VII-G of SMP Negeri 7 Serang City who had received material on whole numbers and fractions. The research instrument used was the AKM model questions consisting of three descriptive questions which had been adjusted to the numeracy literacy indicators. The written test results were analyzed based on numeracy literacy indicators and then strengthened by the results of student interviews. The research results show that students' numeracy literacy skills in solving AKM model questions on number content are still not good. Because students are unable to meet the three numeracy literacy indicators. Students' numeracy literacy abilities are predominantly in the medium category. In solving AKM model questions on number content, students with high and moderate abilities experienced calculation errors in the results of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students with low abilities have difficulty determining solution strategies and understanding the concept of arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on whole numbers and fractions as well as in calculating discounts.

Analysis of Path Model Effect of Beliefs About The Nature of Mathematics on Beliefs About Teaching and Teacher Professional Characteristics Using PLS-SEM

2025-03-16T18:00:24+08:00

Beliefs about Beliefs about the nature of mathematics can impact teachers' confidence in teaching math and their professional development. A study with 187 elementary school teachers in Banda Aceh showed that these beliefs have a significant direct effect on increasing beliefs about teaching math but only a minimal direct effect on improving teachers' professional character. Beliefs about teaching act as an indirect-only mediation variable between beliefs about the nature of mathematics and teacher characteristics, suggesting a high and significant indirect effect. Further research is needed to confirm these results

2025-03-16T18:00:24+08:00

The curriculum is a set of educational program plans used as guidelines for implementing learning activities to achieve national education goals. The independent curriculum is newly established in Indonesia and will undoubtedly influence learning, including mathematics. This research aims to analyse the impact of changes to the independent curriculum on mathematics learning. This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing articles and identifying, analysing, and concluding several studies that have been conducted previously. Article searches were done using the Google Scholar search engine and the publish or perish application. The research results found that the development of the independent curriculum had a significant influence on mathematics learning. The positive impact of implementing mathematics learning is that students' abilities in mathematics increase, and teachers can increase their ability to innovate and be creative. Meanwhile, the negative impact of implementing mathematics learning is that there are still insufficient teachers and difficulty creating learning tools.

Development of a Literacy and Numeration Learning Module Based on Local Wisdom, Project Based Learning, and TRI-N to Increase Student Independence

2025-03-16T18:00:24+08:00

Students' numeracy literacy abilities are still categorized as very low, this occurs due to a lack of teaching materials that are able to support increasing these abilities. One of the teaching materials that can support improving students' numeracy literacy skills is the use of literacy and numeracy modules. This development research aims to determine the feasibility of developing a numeracy literacy module based on local wisdom in Purworejo based on Project Based Learning and the teachings of Ki Hajar Dewantara Tri N (Niteni, Niroke, Nambahi) based on the assessment of experts and to determine the level of practicality of developing a numeracy literacy module applied in learning . This development research adopts the ADDIE model approach. Participants in this research were 29 students in class III at SDN Girigondo. The findings from this research indicate that (1) the module that has been developed has very high validity in accordance with the established criteria with an average of 3.9 on a Likeart scale based on assessments from three validators, namely material experts, media experts and language experts; (2) Students showed a positive response to the module developed with an acceptance rate of 97%, which indicates that the module meets the criteria very well in the learning context. Meanwhile, teacher responses to the module were also very positive with an acceptance rate of 100%, which confirms that this module is effective and suitable for use in the learning process.
