This study discusses the difficulties of elementary school students in completing fractional tasks. Fractions is one of the basic materials in mathematics for elementary school level. The theoretical framework used to analyze students' difficulties in solving fractional tasks is the comognitive framework. The statements in the Comognitive Framework will be broken down into four categories: visual mediators, endorsed narratives, routine and word use. The data was collected through a written test and an interview on the fifth-grade students of a primary school in one of the public schools in Rembang Subdistrict, Pasuruan District. A total of thirty-six students were given tasks related to fractions. The next step is to select one student from each of the high, medium, and low category who answered incorrectly to the question given in the interview. The results of the analysis using comognitive framework shows that the students' difficulties were mostly in the case of errors in visual mediators, endorsed narratives, and routine. These types of errors will affect the completion of the next task. The students are very rarely using visual mediators in completing fractional tasks. Thus, it makes them difficult to complete the tasks on fraction.
Imitation-related studies have been widely studied in children with autism, infants and young children. Imitation in the learning process is inseparable. The study of imitation in adults and school-aged children is still rarely studied, so the researcher was interested in conducting imitation-related research in mathematical communication in junior high school learners of class VII in one of the public schools in Bangil, Pasuruan, Indonesia. The type of the research was a qualitative research. The main instrument in this study was the researcher herself. The data sources in research were in the form of learner works, interview recordings, and field notes. The results showed that junior high school learners of class VII who became the subject of this research in communicating the completion of mathematical problems in doing an imitation towards elementary school teachers (primary school).The finding in this study was that personal closeness truly affects the imitations made by students in solving mathematical problems.
While a pandemic is currently sweeping the world, technology becomes a necessity in almost the entire aspects of life, particularly in learning activities. One of conventional learning-based platforms that adopt online system is Moodle Learning Management System. This study explored the argumentation skills of prospective teachers based on commognitive approach using the LMS. This qualitative research used online-based semi-structured questionnaire and interview during a discussion group via LMS platform. The subjects of this study were 38 prospective teachers. The research instrument was a questionnaire with eight items. It was initially assessed with Cronbach’s alpha test in which the value indicated the questionnaire was reliable (0.852). The findings of this study indicate the argumentation skills of prospective teachers correlate with the commognitive framework, including claim with endorsed narratives; data with visual mediators; warrant with routine, word use, and endorsed narratives; and backing with endorsed narratives.
Karya ilmiah merupakan salah satu wujud nyata kemampuan literasi yang dimiliki oleh mahasiswa. Karya ilmiah mahasiswa secara umum berupa tugas akhir atau skripsi. Berdasarkan temuan ketika melakukan pembimbingan skripsi sebagian mahasiswa masih memiliki kualitas yang rendah dalam hal penulisan skripsi. Hal ini nampak dari sumber rujukan yang digunakan, beberapa mahasiswa masih copy paste dari penelitian yang sebelumnya. Cara penulisan rujukan mahasiswa sebagian besar masih secara manual. Judul-judul penelitian yang digunakan oleh mahasiswa cenderung sama dengan penelitian sebelumnya hanya mengubah subjek penelitiannya saja. Oleh karena itu diperlukan kegiatan pelatihan penulisan karya ilmiah untuk mahasiswa calon guru di Universitas PGRI Wiranegara Pasuruan. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian berupa pelatihan penulisan karya ilmiah untuk mahasiswa calon guru di Universitas PGRI Wiranegara Pasuruan adalah mahasiswa mampu menuliskan rujukan dan memunculkan ide judul penelitian. Kegiatan pelatihan penulisan Karya Ilmiah untuk calon guru Matematika di Universitas PGRI Wiranegara Pasuruan dapat disimpulkan berhasil. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh antusiasnya peserta pelatihan yang diikuti oleh 95% persen mahasiswa calon guru matematika di Universitas PGRI Wiranegara. Selain itu beberpa mahasiswa yang bergabung dalam LRM (Lembaga Riset Mahasiswa) telah mengikuti lomba tingkat Nasional dan berhasil lolos.
The fraction is substantial material because it supports understanding the concepts of other mathematical materials and is used in daily life. However, many students have a weak ability to find a solution to fraction tasks. Also, the specific researches focused on fraction issue based on commognition framework are very limited. Therefore, this descriptive research investigates the types of students' difficulty in solving fractional tasks based on the commognition framework. The study used a qualitative approach. The commognition framework includes visual mediators, routine, narratives, and word use. The knowledge was gathered through a written examination and an interview. The participants were 36 fifth-grade students. The triangulation process was used to ensure the quality and reliability of the testing findings by reviewing the outcomes of video recorded interviewing and the results' written analysis. The research findings revealed that the students' problems were mostly in the case of visual mediators, narratives, and routine mistakes. These kinds of failures will influence the next mission approach. In solving fraction tasks, the students used visual mediators very rarely. Thus, solving the fractional tasks made it difficult for them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
