This research aims to describe the expectations of prospective teachers for students' mathematical thinking processes in solving problem-based on the Polya model. This model is perceived by the theory of mathematical thought processes proposed by Mason. A descriptive method with a qualitative approach was used in this research. The research subjects were 25 students from the

This research aimed to describe the results of the implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) done by researchers on Caring Community-based students so that their impact can improve students’ mathematical connection abilities. This research was a Classroom Action Research (CAR) done through 2 cycles, where was in each cycle includes planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The instruments were used the Package Book and Student Worksheets given to Grade VII students of Ibrahimy Junior High School at Sukorejo. Data Collection tehnique were used by observation, testing, and documentation. Analysing data was used by qualitative descriptive methods through three steps, namely are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing concluding. The results of this research indicated that: (1) there was a significant difference between the results of the cycle I (without worksheet) and cycle II (with worksheet); (2) the statistical results showed that was the significance of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.00 < 0.05; then it can be concluded that the implementation of PBL based on Caring Community has a significant effect on the ability of students’ mathematical connections; (3) the results of the achievement of indicators of students’ mathematical connected ability among students in the high, medium, and low categories occurred significant differences starting from indicator I, II, and III.

This research is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach to the type of literature that seeks to explain the important role of statistics in modern Islamic education and economics. In this literature study, researchers used various written sources such as books, articles, journals and other supporting documents relevant to the study. This study focuses on the discourse of statistical science and its role in the field of Islamic education and economics in the modern era. The results of the study show that statistics have been widely used by the public on various field such as politics, education, government, economics, and business. In education, statistics help students and learners or education practitioners in understanding data, measurement instruments, data analysis techniques, and drawing conclusions, both as evaluations and continuing education research. While in business, statistics can be applied to business calculations in the form of trend index numbers, dividend calculations, probability of profit in investments and stocks. Specifically, statistics have an important role in the banking sector, stock sector, capital market sector, insurance sector, multifinance and micro sector. Statistics present a lot of detailed and systematic information or data. Not only that, statistical science is highly recommended in Islamic economic and educational activities, and Allah likes people who carry out economic andeducational activities carried out with itqan, namely focused, clear, accurate, and compleKeywords: statistics, education, and modern islamic economy

The mentoring and training activities for junior high school teachers in the innovation of the Caring Community-based PBL learning model go through three stages, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation. At the planning stage, the process of identifying problems, making work plans (work plans), and classifying teaching practice tasks is carried out. There are 5 groups with the same target material. At the implementation stage, it consists of two stages; 1) training on caring community learning models with a student centered approach which includes group model class management techniques, learning media design. 2) mentoring the learning practices of junior high school teachers in the classroom based on the ability level group, group L, and group M. Evaluation activities are carried out at the end of the activity to make improvements to mistakes, teacher weaknesses in the process of implementing the learning model.
