Abstract

This qualitative-ethnography study described the critical thinking skill based on indicators of interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference in solving mathematical problem. The subjects of the study were the headmaster, math teachers, and ninth grade students of a public junior high school in academic year of 2020/2021. The data were collected through observation, field notes, interview, and documentation. Triangulation of sources and technique were used to ensure the data validation in this research. Data analysis technique was done inductively with continuous process along with the data collection. The results of the study showed high initial skills in mathematics become the basic need for the students in developing critical thinking skills based on indicators of interpretation. The improvement of critical thinking based on the indicator of interpretation is accustomed through problem-based learning. Critical thinking process based on the indicator of analysis is cultivated through collaborative learning. In this indicator, the students need special attention from the teacher. There is always the possibility for every student from each level to face difficulties in solving some problems without collaborating with others. The teachers can make more effort to optimize the students’ basic holistic skills in line with their knowledge and experience in order to improve students’ critical thinking skills based on the indicator of inference. In this indicator, teachers should guide the students to improve their critical thinking skills.

Abstract

STEAM learning is an approach which integrates multidisciplinary knowledge while enriching students' skills to explore, try, ask, find, and build innovation, namely science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. We found that the learning resources of STEAM in Yogyakarta is very limited due to lack of knowledge about it. On the other hand, using local contexts as the starting point of learning is also important to foster character building. This preliminary research aims to provide insight on the teachers’ awareness on STEAM learning and textbook, as well as the design we figured out after discussing it with the teachers. It was a descriptive qualitative research involving 214 primary school teachers. We collected the data through questionnaire and focus group discussion. The results suggest that STEAM is quite a new concept for most of primary school teachers in Yogyakarta. Not many teachers used to or have developed the STEAM learning resources, especially the one integrated with the character building. Therefore, a STEAM textbook needs to be developed to fulfill the need. Furthermore, the design of the textbook could have the characteristics of integrating all components of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics), starting from local context to develop characters, improving creative and critical thinking, having knowledge and skill assessment, and using project-based learning model.

Abstract

In recent years, the rise of mathematical modeling is well documented in the literature and curriculum like Australia, Germany, and Singapore because it helps students to tackle real-world issues using mathematics. The research presented in this article was a systematic review of the literature on the assessment of mathematical modeling in the setting of mathematics education published in the previous five years. This research compiled the current best information from around the world to offer an overview of the assessment of mathematical modeling for preservice mathematics teachers or mathematics teachers. We followed the approach used in Joklitschke et al. (2021), which involve 10 steps in the systematic literature review (SLR). We accessed using Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME), Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM), Journal of Mathematical Behavior (JMB), For the Learning Mathematics (FLM), Mathematical Thinking and Learning (MTL), Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education (JMTE), Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik (ZDM), and Mathematics Education Research Journal (MERJ). Based on a full-text analysis of 18 peer-reviewed papers published in English, it can be observed that most of the approaches used to measure modeling competency were conducted by holistic. Finally, future trends and opportunities are discussed.

Abstract

English for Mathematics is a required university course designed to bridge the gap between general English proficiency and the specific linguistic demands of mathematics. This study aims to explore the challenges students face in adapting to this specialized curriculum, aiming to deepen our understanding of the educational hurdles posed by evolving academic requirements for graduates. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the research examines the experiences of 35 students enrolled in the English for Mathematics course at the Mathematics Study Program of Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat. Data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires, revealing five principal areas of difficulty: listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills, along with comprehension of mathematical content. The study identifies several factors contributing to these challenges, including limited vocabulary, inadequate prior knowledge, misinterpretations of course material, a lack of effective learning aids, and frequent writing errors. The findings suggest that these obstacles hinder student performance and impact their engagement and satisfaction with the course. The study calls for targeted interventions by educators and curriculum designers to enhance instructional methods and learning materials, thereby improving student outcomes and making learning more engaging and effective. These insights have broader implications for curriculum development and instructional strategies in specialized English education settings.
