Analysis of Self-Regulated Learning of Students in Mathematics Education Study Program in Number Theory Course

The number theory is the first mathematics content course in the UPH FIP Mathematics Education study program, which does not have a response class. The response class was conducted as a companion to four content subjects with close relations with school mathematics content, namely Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Geometry, and Linear Algebra. Based on the questionnaire that has been distributed, prospective mathematics teachers consider that the response class is beneficial for them in attending lectures and in exploring related mathematical concepts. However, on the other hand, students inevitably have to go back to learning to be determined with the response class. The implication is that students' self-regulated learning will not develop optimally. However, self-regulated learning is an essential aspect that prospective teachers need to have. This research was conducted to see how self-regulated learning of future mathematics teachers in number theory courses. The research instruments used are questionnaires, the scale of self-regulated learning, and interviews. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The results of this study are that most students have a moderate level of learning independence. The aspects or indicators of learning independence that need special attention are setting learning goals/targets. Prospective teacher students need to continue to train and develop their learning independence to become professional teachers who continue to develop along with the times

A preliminary study on the formulation of indicators and definitions of mathematical bitterness related to teacher treatment

Teachers are responsible for helping students to understand and admire subjects, which means they need first to appreciate what is supposed to be taught. Meanwhile, some intern teachers detest several subjects due to the unpleasant treatment received from their tutors. This study intends to clarify the definition of mathematical bitterness and develop its indicators. The respondents were seven third-year students at Pelita Harapan University, Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews and analyzed through descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The results showed that the indicators of bitterness in mathematics sprang from the following, 1) having experienced unpleasant treatment from a mathematics teacher for a long time, 2) having a negative view of mathematics, 3) feeling untalented in mathematics, 4) viewing the mathematics teacher as unfriendly, 5) poor mathematics learning performance, and 6) having high mathematical anxiety. The proposed definition of bitterness is a negative perception of mathematics that is built from the accumulation of past experiences that affect the student’s response to this subject. Hence, further studies are needed to provide solutions that help to heal students of their math bitterness

Implementasi Video Pembelajaran terhadap Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematis Mahasiswa dalam Pembelajaran Daring Kalkulus Integral

Mathematical problem-solving abilities need to be owned by prospective mathematics teachers so that they can teach it to their students later. Integral Calculus course is a course that students need to understand the next course, as well as a course that is closely related to school mathematics. This study aims to look at the significance difference in students’ problem-solving ability related to video learning implementation. The research design used was a nonequivalent control group design with the subject of 71 mathematics education students from two universities in Indonesia. The instrument used was a calculus prior knowledge test and mathematical problem-solving test, each of which consisted of 3 questions. Based on the statistical test, it was found that the mathematical problem-solving abilities of the two research groups differed significantly. The subject group who used the instructional video had better problem-solving abilities than the subject group whose learning used virtual face-to-fac

PENERAPAN METODE BERCERITA BAGI KEMAMPUAN NUMERASI SISWA USIA DINI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN TEMATIK [APPLICATION OF THE STORY METHOD FOR EARLY STUDENT NUMERATION ABILITY IN THEMATIC LEARNING]

Based on the results of observations made at a Christian Kindergarten in Tangerang, it was found that there was an unevenness in the numeracy abilities of early-age students. Some students already have the ability to count numbers 1 and 3, but some others do not. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce numeracy skills by the teacher so that students have an even numeracy ability. The purpose of writing this scientific work is to describe the application of the storytelling method to the numeracy skills of early-age students in thematic learning. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research method. Based on the results of the discussion, it was found that the application of the storytelling method was carried out in six stage’s that were closely related to the introduction of numeracy skills, namely making preparations before learning, checking readiness and providing motivation to students, actively involving students, telling stories with attention to language, developing, and checking student understanding.  Through the application of the six stages of the storytelling method in thematic learning it can help teachers to assess and confirm the level of numeracy abilities of early age students. The next suggestion is to pay attention to various indicators of numeracy skills that have not been studied and to pay attention to the time allocation in teaching so that the effectiveness of the six stages of the storytelling method can be assessed. BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Berdasarkan hasil observasi yang dilakukan pada salah satu Taman Kanak-kanak Kristen di Tangerang ditemukan ketidakrataan kemampuan numerasi siswa usia dini. Beberapa siswa telah memiliki kemampuan membilang bilangan 1 dan 3 namun beberapa lainnya belum. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan pengenalan kemampuan numerasi oleh guru agar siswa memiliki kemampuan numerasi yang merata. Tujuan penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah memaparkan penerapan metode bercerita bagi kemampuan numerasi siswa usia dini dalam pembelajaran tematik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Berdasarkan pemaparan hasil pembahasan ditemukan penerapan metode bercerita dilakukan dalam enam tahapan yang berkaitan erat dengan pengenalan kemampuan numerasi yaitu melakukan persiapan sebelum pembelajaran, mengecek kesiapan dan memberikan motivasi kepada siswa, melibatkan siswa secara aktif, bercerita dengan memperhatikan bahasa, melakukan pengembangan, dan mengecek pemahaman siswa. Melalui penerapan keenam tahapan metode bercerita dalam pembelajaran tematik dapat membantu guru untuk menilai serta mengkonfirmasi tingkatan kemampuan numerasi siswa usia dini.  Adapun saran selanjutnya adalah memperhatikan berbagai indikator kemampuan numerasi yang belum dikaji serta memerhatikan alokasi waktu dalam melakukan pengajaran sehingga keenam tahapan metode bercerita dapat dinilai keefektifannya
