Abstract

There are significant limitations in the current study on CT+STEM addressing the gaps noted in the existing literature. The study is driven by the lack of research on underrepresented students in college STEM courses, the inclusion of CT in STEM education at the entry level, and the insufficiency of teacher training programs that concentrate on integrating computational thinking into STEM classrooms. It aims to fill the knowledge gap about how CTs' professional experience influences their attitudes and practices. The study acknowledges the necessity of empirical research to explore the balance between the widespread use of critical thinking and the distinct characteristics of scientific representations, a significant obstacle in educational planning. The research utilizes bibliometric analysis to cover the period from 1978 to 2023, showing a steady yearly growth rate of 7.22% in the CT+STEM sector. The collection consists of 241 documents from 127 scholarly sources, highlighting collaboration trends and worldwide relationships in CT+STEM research. The study highlights important publications, authors, affiliations, and highly cited papers while also recognizing potential bias and the quantitative character of the investigation. The study has important implications for education, industry, and problem-solving in the digital era. The article suggests further research to investigate qualitative aspects, methodologies, and teaching strategies to enhance the development and influence of CT+STEM in the evolving field of education and technology.

Abstract

Calculus classes often focus on studying derivatives, a fundamental topic in mathematics. Upon finishing their studies, potential mathematics teachers will educate students about advanced concepts such as derivatives in the classroom. Therefore, comprehending derivative concepts is essential for teaching children effectively. This study aims to determine how potential mathematics teachers view themselves concerning derivative concepts based on their concept image and concept definition. The study utilized a hermeneutic phenomenological approach together with qualitative approaches in its research strategy. The research data was obtained through interviews and clinical tests from six participants from one of the universities in Kuningan Regency, Indonesia. The research findings indicate that participants' concept image of derivative concepts is limited to symbolic representations. Most participants did not view derivative concepts as providing a deeper understanding but rather as a technique to solve procedural problems. The results indicate that utilizing a range of representations in the learning process can improve the development of a more thorough conceptual understanding, leading to better comprehension of derivative concepts.

Abstract

During COVID-19, various obstacles were experienced during learning, including in learning mathematics. Learning had to be carried out online. Therefore, learning designs were also attempted to be made online. The learning design in this research was prepared using didactical design research. Participants in this research were 29 students at one of the junior high schools in Indonesia. The researcher was the main instrument in this research, along with several additional instruments, such as the fraction sequence test, interview guide, and online learning design. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and qualitative analysis. The research results revealed that the factor that caused students to experience obstacles in ordering fractions was due to students’ low prerequisite knowledge regarding LCM (conceptual ontogenic obstacle). The online learning design offered then facilitated students to solidify their understanding of LCM before entering the core learning activities. Online learning design was also developed using the theory of didactical situations. After implementation, information was obtained that the learning obstacles experienced by students had no longer reappeared. Therefore, learning in schools should ensure that students have a good understanding of the prerequisites before starting the core learning activities.

Abstract

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, students encountered several obstacles during their learning, including the inability to implement optimal learning strategies. Therefore, this research aimed to develop an online didactic design that could potentially reduce barriers to student learning, particularly in fraction subtraction operations. The research employed a didactical design approach. At each step of the research design, the researcher used lesson study activities to produce a good online didactic design. Participants in this research were 56 students in grades VII and VIII, aged 13 to 18 years. The researcher was the main instrument, with several additional instruments, such as online didactic design, fraction tests, interview guides, and documentation studies. We used thematic analysis to analyze data on learning barriers, and qualitative analysis to analyze implementation data. The research results revealed that students indicated that they had experienced learning obstacles with ontogenic and epistemological obstacles during the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon compiling and implementing the online didactic design, we found no evidence of learning obstacles among the students. Although students encountered difficulties when solving fraction subtraction problems, this was not due to learning factors, but rather to internal factors such as a lack of study time.

Abstract

This research is important because the development of Virtual Reality (VR) technology has shown significant potential in enhancing spatial abilities, which are crucial aspects of education and training across various fields. This study aims to identify and evaluate the extent to which VR can enhance spatial abilities and determine the factors that influence the adoption of VR in educational contexts. The specific target is to identify at least three main factors affecting the effectiveness of VR in improving spatial abilities and to evaluate its impact on differences in students' initial abilities. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves identifying, evaluating, and interpreting all relevant research that answers specific research questions. Data were collected from three major databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Sage Journal, covering 2013 to 2022. This study focuses on considerations for using VR, its impact on differences in initial spatial abilities, and the various aspects of spatial abilities affected by VR intervention. The results from the 26 studies reviewed indicate that the use of VR technology in learning can enhance spatial abilities, with the most studied aspect being mental rotation. Additionally, VR has a greater impact on participants with a low spatial ability background. From an affective aspect, the use of VR significantly influences participants' motivation and interest, attributed to the realistic and interactive effects perceived. The implications of this research provide important contributions for researchers and educational practitioners to develop more effective interventions in enhancing spatial abilities in the future.

Abstract

Algebra word problems inculcate in learners the skills and ability to think critically and look for answers to problems in society and the world. Using an explanatory sequential mixed design, the study investigated the errors made by pre-tertiary students in algebraic word problems in a selected school in the Asutifi North District of the Ahafo Region of Ghana. Whereas the Newman Error Analysis Model was used to find the types of errors students make when translating and solving algebraic word problems, protocols from topics relating to the study were carefully selected and used as interview guides alongside inspiration from the Newman Error Analysis Model. Quota and simple random sampling techniques were used to select ninety-eight (98) respondents. The Algebraic Word Problem Achievement Test (AWPAT) was given to the ninety-eight students who had studied several topics on word problems, followed by a structured interview to elicit more information from the respondents. The scores gained from the marked test items illustrated that students made more transformation errors, which happened indirectly from a lack of understanding of the concept. A careful analysis of the written responses of the five (5) students interviewed also revealed that, lack of comprehension directly translated into students’ inability to transform algebraic word problems into mathematics equations. In the same vein, the study showed that the main cause of students’ failure to translate and solve algebraic word problems was students’ lack of understanding of the concept of “word problem” among others. The study recommends that students be motivated by encouragement and praise to arouse their interest in translating and solving algebraic word problems.

Abstract

High self-confidence and creative mathematical thinking skills will change students from having difficulty with mathematics to active learners who can solve mathematical problems. But the facts show that the achievement of both abilities is still quite low. The purpose of this research is to analyze how students' creative mathematical thinking skills are viewed from the perspective of self-confidence in social arithmetic material. Social arithmetic material is used because it allows them to abstract mathematical processes into their daily lives, thereby developing their creativity. The research method is descriptive qualitative. The sample was 3 people, namely 1 person for each level of self-confidence (high, medium, and low). They are selected through purposive sampling. The data collection techniques used include questionnaires, tests, interviews, and field notes. The data analysis techniques employed are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that students' self-confidence levels in social arithmetic material affect their creative mathematical thinking skills. It was found that students with high self-confidence were able to meet three indicators of creative mathematical thinking skills: fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. However, students with high self-confidence were not able to meet the originality indicator. Students with moderate self-confidence were able to meet one indicator of creative mathematical thinking skills, namely fluency, but were not able to meet the flexibility and elaboration indicators. Meanwhile, students with low self-confidence were not able to meet any indicators of creative mathematical thinking skills. Thus, self-confidence can be increased to improve mathematical creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Proportional reasoning ability is an important ability for students to understand mathematical concepts. Much research has been conducted on this capability, but it is necessary to map existing research to provide a clearer picture of future research topics. This research aims to provide a bibliometric overview of trends in the use of proportional reasoning skills in mathematics teaching research. The method in this research is bibliometric analysis, which aims to analyze and classify bibliographic material by presenting a representative summary of literature in the Scopus database. The search was carried out using the keyword "proportional reasoning" in the search menu in the Scopus.com database. ScientoPy software analyzes the author's name, number of document citations, document title, publication year, document source, publisher, and document type Research trends in proportional reasoning show a significant increase, with 356 publications in Scopus, peaking at 32 in 2023. Major contributors include the United States, Turkey, and Spain, with recent studies focusing on "teacher knowledge." Influential works by Liberali et al., Atkinson et al., and Tobin & Capie address numeracy, multimedia learning, and logical thinking, respectively. These findings suggest that improving teacher knowledge and using effective multimedia tools could enhance instruction and research in proportional reasoning. Future research should explore innovative teaching strategies and technologies to further advance proportional reasoning ability.

Abstract

The concept of inclusivity is the practice of placing pupils with disabilities in normal classrooms. However, the idea of the triangle continues to pose fundamental challenges. This study sought to explore didactical mediation on the learning of the triangle beyond the classroom. The research design used mixed methods sequential exploratory to help identify the pupil’s interpretation of the triangle. The researchers first conducted a semi-structured interview on their experiences in learning the triangle both in school and at home. The responses were transcribed and coded in themes. The themes that emerged were properties, types of angles, and applications to everyday life. The researchers then went further to test the pupils’ knowledge on the same themes. The findings showed that didactical mediation with the cultural artefacts, signs, and language largely explained the emergence of the four main properties and must be targeted for the theory, policy, and practice of inclusive education. The prototype testing also confirmed that even though pupils with hearing impairment obtained higher scores, both groups obtained higher mean scores on the post-test than did the pre-test. This indicated that the learning achievement was significantly higher in the post-test than in the pre-test due to the didactical mediation. It was recommended that the triangle’s learning and teaching should not be limited to academic exercises but to real-life situations. Also, mathematics concepts that are not visually friendly be explored to uncover the most suitable methods and techniques to make inclusive mathematics learning a reality for all groups of disabilities.
