Abstract

Multiplication of fractions is one of the operations on fractions that tends to be easy, but it becomes a problem for students. Only a little previous research has examined the multiplication of fractions and the factors that cause this problem at the tertiary level. This study aims to describe the factors that cause problems in terms of the types of learning barriers that students experience. The research design is hermeneutics phenomenology. The participants in this study were 15 students aged 18-25 years, 7 boys and 8 girls, 9 students majoring in natural sciences during high school, and 6 students from social studies majors. The researcher is the main instrument, with a fraction multiplication test consisting of 2 questions developed by NCTM and a semi-structured interview guide as an additional instrument. Data is processed using NVivo-12-assisted thematic analysis to simplify the coding process. The study revealed that students experienced more learning difficulties when working on non-routine fraction multiplication problems. For routine problems, students experience learning difficulties with the type of ontogenic obstacle that is psychological (not careful). For non-routine problems, students experience learning barriers with epistemological types because they rarely work on word problems, as well as ontogenic obstacles that are conceptual and psychological.

Abstract

Converting mixed numbers into common fractions is one of the formula problems in learning fractions which is a problem in learning. However, not many studies have examined this conversion. In addition, there are not many studies that try to provide solutions to the conversion problem. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of learning barriers students experience when converting mixed numbers into common fractions and provide alternative solutions to minimize these learning barriers. The research design used to achieve this goal is didactical design research (DDR). DDR was chosen because it uses the results of identifying types of learning barriers to develop didactic designs in learning fractions. The participants in this study were math teachers with 26 years of age and less than 5 years of teaching experience. The main instrument in this study was the researcher using several additional instruments, such as fraction comprehension tests, interview guides, and didactic designs. The data was then analyzed using qualitative data analysis. The results of the study revealed that students indicated that they experienced learning difficulties with different types of epistemological obstacles because they rarely start learning with everyday life problems. The solution offered in the didactical design is the use of the problem as an initial situation in learning which students will then respond to in the form of a didactical situation. The recommendations offered in this study are the implementation of the didactic design itself.

Abstract

The research aimed to optimize students’ mathematical solving abilities through the implementation of a didactic design developed based on lesson study activities on triangular number patterns. The research design used was didactical design research. Participants in the study were 10 students (12–15 years old) at a junior high school in Mataram, Indonesia. The researcher was the main instrument, with several additional instruments, one of which was the didactic hypothesis design. The data were analyzed using qualitative analysis. The research results revealed an increase in students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities during the implementation of didactic design on triangular number pattern material. However, the increase that occurred was less than optimal. This increase resulted from the didactic design encouraging students to use Quizizz, geoboards, and inspirational videos to solve problems. However, when watching inspirational videos and Quizizz, there were problems, such as an unstable internet connection, so activities that should have been done in groups were done collectively for one class.
