The influence of students’ problem-solving understanding and results of students’ mathematics learning

Abstract

Problem-solving is the ability to understand issues and steps that will affect students’ mathematics learning results. The research goals are: describing students’ problem-solving understanding and mathematics learning results; testing the influence of gender and grade level on students’ problem-solving understanding and mathematics learning results; and testing the influence of students’ problem-solving understanding on mathematics learning results. The population is all students in the fourth through sixth grades at two primary schools (263 respondents). The sample consists of 244 respondents, with female and male respondents of 123 and 121, and low- and high-grade students of 74 and 170, respectively. The researchers calculated and converted scores into values. Statistical tests were carried out by means of analysis of linear regression and the t-test. The Me of students’ mathematics learning results and problem-solving understanding are 69.679 and 66.889. The female students’ problem-solving understanding Me is greater than male ones’, but male students’ mathematics learning results Me is greater than female ones. The low-grade students’ problem-solving understanding Me is greater than high-grade students, but high-grade students’ mathematics learning results Me is greater than low-grade students. Gender has no influence on students’ mathematics problem-solving understanding or learning results. The grade level has a significant influence on students’ problem-solving understanding but no significant influence on mathematics learning results. The students’ problem-solving understanding has a significant influence on mathematics learning results, with a p value of 0.000. The research findings and results have implications for and contribute to assisting students in processing information and building mathematical knowledge.

The challenges in establishing conservation-based ecotourism in the human-elephant conflict outside protected area: a literature review

“…It also fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment among community members [51]. Some research addresses the importance of the ancillary component that is strongly related to local community participation [49] [52]. Ancillary tourism is defined as the presence of an individual or organization entity responsible for overseeing the management of a tourist destination [49].…”

“…Ancillary tourism is defined as the presence of an individual or organization entity responsible for overseeing the management of a tourist destination [49]. This component endorses community participation and empowerment from associated institutions or organizations to improve the expertise of tourism management [52], so that they can provide benefits to related parties such as the government, surrounding communities, tourists, the environment, and other stakeholders, including the value of the wildlife conservation [49]. The main challenges in establishing this community-based empowerment are inefficient communication, lack of policy clarity, and inadequate support and resources [51].…”

Bibliometric Analysis: Collaboration Networks In Discovery Learning Research

“…Learning activeness is student activity or teaching and learning activities at school and outside school that support student success (Buckley & Lee, 2021). Forms of student activity in learning can be seen from student involvement in the learning process, such as participating in carrying out assignments, being involved in discussing the problem-solving process, asking friends or teachers if they do not understand the material, and being able to present report results (Sinaga et al, 2023).…”

“…This issue is particularly salient in the context of the 21st century, characterized by globalization, free trade, and regional autonomy, demanding a workforce equipped to navigate diverse challenges [1]. Furthermore, research conducted by Sinaga et al shows that students' abilities in the problem-solving process depend on how well the students understand and define a problem [21]. As they understand the process, their 21 st century skills will improve.…”
