“…Menurut Douglas (Triana, 2017) mathematics self-concept adalah penilaian atau pandangan seseorang mengenai kemampuannya untuk belajar matematika. Sedangkan Peteros et al (2020) mengatakan bahwa self-concept dalam matematika dapat didefinisikan sebagai penilaian siswa atas keterampilan, kemampuan, kesenangan, dan minat pada matematika yang dipandang sebagai faktor penting dalam pencapaian mereka dalam belajar matematika. Sejalan dengan hal itu, Siregar dan Humairo (2018) berpendapat bahwa self-concept secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi prestasi belajar siswa.…”

Penelitian eksperimen semu ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas metode pembelajaran PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) ditinjau dari kemampuan berpikir reflektif dan self-concept siswa. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 12 Bandar Lampung tahun pelajaran 2019/2020 yang terdistribusi dalam sembilan kelas. Dari sembilan kelas tersebut dipilih satu kelas sebagai kelas eksperimen dan satu kelas sebagai kelas kontrol. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah pretest-posttest control group design. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan tes kemampuan berpikir reflektif matematis dan angket self-concept siswa. Data hasil tes dan angket dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase siswa pada kelas PQ4R dengan kemampuan berpikir reflektif matematis dan self-concept terkategori baik lebih dari 60% dari jumlah siswa, namun peningkatan kemampuan berpikir reflektif matematis dan self-concept siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran PQ4R tidak lebih tinggi daripada peningkatan siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran konvensional. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode pembelajaran PQ4R tidak efektif ditinjau dari kemampuan berpikir reflektif matematis dan self-concept siswa. The effectiveness of the PQ4R learning method in terms of students' mathematical reflective thinking ability and self-conceptAbstractThis quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effectiveness of the PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) learning method in terms of reflective thinking ability and self-concept of students. The study population was all eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 12 Bandar Lampung (Junior High School) for the 2019/2020 academic year, distributed in nine classes. Of the nine classes, one class was selected as the experimental class and one class as the control class. The research design used was the pretest-posttest control group design. The data was collected using a test of reflective mathematical thinking skills and a students' self-concept questionnaire. Test and questionnaire results were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results showed that the percentage of students in the PQ4R class with good categories in reflective mathematical thinking and self-concept was more than 60% of students' total number. The increase in mathematical reflective thinking ability and self-concept of students who took PQ4R learning was not higher than the increase in students who follow conventional learning. Thus, it can be concluded that the PQ4R learning method was ineffective in terms of students’ mathematical reflective thinking skills and self-concept.

“…Male students have a higher psychological interest in mathematics than female students (Chen, Yang, & Hsiao, 2016). Men have higher self-concept than women in some other research results (Peteros et al, 2019). No one has discussed based on research related to trauma mathematics using the Rasch model for mathematical trauma of students in junior high school based on grade and gender.…”

Mathematical trauma is a mental condition of students caused by experiences that make it difficult or emotionally with mathematics. This study analyzes students’ trauma of mathematics based on grade and gender by using survey research methods and data processing using Winsteps. The subjects of the research were 204 students in every grade in Junior High School. The questionnaire consisted of 20 statements. This instrument was developed measuring mathematical trauma. It consisted of three indicators: difficult to adapt to the environment, saturated with the learning system that is done, and difficult to get along and organize themselves. Based on the Rasch analysis, for the item, two items (I10 and I7) are a misfit, and the rest items are fit. The items were suitable for 147 respondents (72.06%). Based on The Wright Maps table on WinSteps, the percentage of male students who are very traumatized by mathematics is more than female students. Meanwhile, based on grade, students from grade 8 are more very traumatized by mathematics than students from grade 7 and grade 9. Furthermore, based on a questionnaire, students prefer to class condition that made very traumatized by mathematics.

“…In Kenya, Mbugua et al (2012) report similar factors for low achievement in mathematics. Peteros et al (2020) report that, in the Philippines, the level of performance in mathematics in 2020 was low as the majority of students (53.01%) performed below the average. The implication is that many teachers fail to make the mathematics learning process enjoyable for students.…”

“…Pedagogical innovations in facilitating learning play a central role in addressing the challenges of students' low interest and achievement in the subject. Peteros et al (2020) assert that recognizing and awarding students for their improved performance helps them boost their confidence and interest in the subject. An enjoyable learning environment significantly impacts students' interest in studying mathematics and improves their performance (Mazana et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe study explored the impact of the King and Queen of Mathematics Initiative (KQMI) in promoting students’ interest in learning mathematics and improving their achievement. The specific objectives of the study focused on the impact of the initiative in promoting interest in mathematics, assessing the contribution of the initiative to students’ achievements and investigating challenges encountered by the initiative.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a case study design with a mixed-method approach. One ward secondary school was involved. The sample size was N = 79, where 77 were grade three students in a science class and two teachers. Data collection involved documentary review, observation and interviews. Data analysis employed both content analysis and a dependent t-test to determine the effect size of the initiative.FindingsThe findings revealed that KQMI had a significant impact on improving performance in mathematics among students (t (71) = −7.917, p < 0.05). The study also showed that male students improved their performance more than their counterparts throughout the KQMI. The mathematics teacher revealed that students still need assistance to solve mathematical questions with different techniques to develop the expected competencies.Research limitations/implicationsThe initiative was conducted only in one school, limiting the findings’ generalization. Also, the innovation faced different challenges, such as accessing adequate resources and students with little knowledge of mathematics, which the initiative aimed to address.Practical implicationsPedagogical innovations enhance the promotion of students’ interest in learning mathematics and hence improve their performance. Also, through pedagogical innovations, teachers improve their teaching skills and practices from students’ feedback.Originality/valueThe KQMI is a new pedagogical innovation modified from the existing innovations such as game-based method, task design, mobile learning and mathematics island.
