Textbooks are one of the main resources for teaching and learning mathematics. This study examines the presentation of angle topics in 4th-grade mathematics textbooks in Indonesia and Singapore. The analysis focused on the general characteristics of the textbook and the nature of the mathematical tasks presented. The results showed that Indonesian…

This study aimed to develop a specific Mathematical Content Knowledge (MCK) test focused on multiplication for pre-service mathematics teachers in Indonesia and Türkiye. No assessment tool exists to measure MCK related to multiplication among pre-service mathematics teachers. We used convenience sampling to obtain data from third- and fourth-year…

This research aims to test: (1) the effectiveness between problem posing learning model with Indonesian realistic mathematical education approach and problem posing learning model on written mathematical communication skills; (2) the effectiveness between field-independent and field-dependent cognitive styles on written mathematical communication…

One area of education which has not escaped efforts to improve the Indonesian government is mathematics education. The Indonesian government must make good use of mathematics learning so that students can use the mathematical mindset to offset the pace of global competition. This research is an experimental research on the Process-Oriented Guided…

This paper presents results of a systematic review of papers published at the LUMAT journal on the current issues positively and negatively affecting teaching and learning in mathematics, in concurrence with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The analysis also offers insight into the most…

The investigation of students' conceptions of knowledge of mathematics and the process of knowing mathematics is important to provide an understanding of the phenomena behind students' performance. However, there is a scarcity of empirical investigation of students' beliefs about mathematics knowledge in the Indonesian context. This study aims to…

The purpose of the study is to investigate pre-service elementary teachers' noticing expertise of students' mathematical thinking within the context of fractions. For this purpose, 32 pre-service elementary teachers were asked to examine students' answers and ways of thinking given in written excerpts related to fractions. The data was mainly…

The purpose of the present study is to provide empirical evidence on the adaptation of the mathematics-related beliefs questionnaire (MRBQ) supplemented by info-communication technology-related items. Besides, we also investigate the relationship between their beliefs about mathematics and their ability in problem-solving mathematics. 234 grade…

Expecting teachers to support their students in making mathematical connections is an unreasonable request when teachers themselves have not had opportunities to connect their own understandings. This study investigates how prospective elementary teachers can deepen their mathematical understanding using recommendations developed by mathematics…

Research on educational borrowing has been largely concerned with debates on the complexity of transferring educational models and approaches from one culture to another. This study aims to understand the issues involved in the adoption of a Dutch approach to mathematics instruction, Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), in Indonesian culture.…

In Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), students should reach formal mathematics knowledge and explore mathematics based on their informal knowledge. The problems chosen in the exploration process should apply mathematics to real-life situations and be suitable for students to explore and create mathematical structures. In the current study, the…

Considering the importance of mathematics in modern society, it is crucial to understand the cognitive processes involved in the acquisition of complex mathematical competency. As a new generation of evaluation theory, cognitive diagnosis has its unique advantages in personalized evaluation. Based on the mathematical cognitive framework of Trends…

In this paper, we provide an overall perspective on the teaching and learning of discrete mathematics. Our aim is to highlight what research has been conducted in this area and to connect it to existing research ideas for future work. We begin by characterizing discrete mathematics and its role in the school curriculum, highlighting themes,…

In Australia, there have been a growing number of nature-based early childhood education initiatives [Alme, H., and M. A. Reime. 2021. "Nature Kindergartens: A Space for Children's Participation." "Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education" 24: 113-131]. Research into early years' nature education internationally remains…

This study examined the type of mathematical tasks in two Australian and two Indonesian mathematics textbooks for 7th-grade students. The quantitative data were collected from the coding results of the tasks in the textbooks. The tasks were coded based on six categories: the presentation forms, the cognitive requirements, the contextual features,…
