“…so that e-SW based on multiple representational learning models applied to students is effective in understanding students' concepts. The multiple learning models of representation are effective on students' mastery of concepts (Lestari, et al, 2020;Kusumaningsih, et al, 2018).…”

The research had been carried out to develop the e-student worksheet (e-SW) based on multiple representational learning models on the material factors which affect the rate of reaction to determine its effectiveness in understanding the concepts and activities of students, as well as the teacher's and the student's responses towards e-worksheet application. The research method and development (R&D) of the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model were used for the development of e-SW. The research samples used were the students of class XI MIPA 1, and the chemistry teachers of class XI of senior high school 3 Banda Aceh, then the determination of the sample for implementation was carried out using random sampling techniques. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that an e-worksheet based on the developed multiple representation learning models on the factors which affect the reaction rate fulfilled the very feasible criteria with the acquisition of validity and reliability of 0.85 and 85. Complete understanding of the concepts and activities of students using eworksheet was splendid, namely 84.8 and 85%. The response of students and teachers to the development of e-worksheet based on the multiple representation learning models was also splendid.

“…The inability of seeing compound terms as single entities suggests students' failure to read through and to gain meaning before manipulating algebraic expressions (Arcavi, 1994;2005;Bokhove & Drijvers, 2010;Hoch & Dreyfus, 2006), and may indicate lacked of conceptual or relational understanding (Skemp, 1976) and algebraic thinking ability Kusumaningsih et al, 2018).…”

An Investigation of Students’ Algebraic Proficiency From a Structure Sense Perspective

2021

Structure sense can be interpreted as an intuitive ability towards symbolic expressions, including skills to perceive, to interpret, and to manipulate symbols in different roles. This ability shows student algebraic proficiency in dealing with various symbolic expressions and is considered important to be mastered by secondary school students for advanced study or professional work. This study, therefore, aims to investigate students’ algebraic proficiency in terms of structure sense. To reach this aim, we set up a qualitative case study with the following three steps. First, after conducting a literature study, we designed structure sense tasks according to structure sense characteristics for the topic of equations. Second, we administered an individual written test involving 28 grade XI students (16-17 year-old). Third, we analyzed students’ written work using a structure sense perspective. The results showed that about two-thirds of the participated students lack of structure sense in which they tend to use more procedural strategies than structure sense strategies in solving equations. We conclude that the perspective of structure sense provides a fruitful lens for assessing students’ algebraic proficiency.

“…Central to a functional thinking perspective, is how students express the relationships between quantities, represent the associated generalization, and reason with multiples representations such as words, tables, diagrams, graphs, or symbols Kieran et al, 2016;Kusumaningsih et al, 2018), using conventional alphanumeric expressions or idiosyncratic symbols. Several studies show that children can make use of symbolic notation, with understanding, for expressing generalization of functional relationships that are presented in different forms Oliveira & Mestre, 2014).…”

Exploring Prospective Elementary Mathematics Teachers’ Knowledge: A Focus on Functional Thinking

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The importance of students being acquainted with algebraic ideas before secondary education has been revealed in the research literature. It is therefore essential that prospective elementary teachers (PTs) be prepared to instill an early algebra perspective in their teaching. However, PTs often show difficulties in algebra content knowledge, which need to be diagnosed aiming to assist them in developing the required knowledge to teach according to that perspective. This study aims to understand what aspects of functional thinking Spanish and Portuguese elementary PTs exhibit at the beginning of their teacher education program. The findings show that although PTs from both countries use different strategies to generalize functional relationships, the occurrence of successful strategies is low. Also, most participants provide local approaches in their interpretation of relationships between variables and reveal difficulties in understanding and connecting different representations of functions. These difficulties show that PTs lack important knowledge about functional thinking. By providing a framework concerning the functional thinking required for PTs to teach within an early algebra perspective, we shed light on a necessary step for teacher education programs to diagnose PTs’ functional thinking and to assist them in developing the needed mathematical knowledge to teach accordingly.
