Examining pre-service elementary school teacher beliefs and instructional practices in mathematics class

Purnomo, Yoppy Wahyu

The gap between theory and practice has become a critical issue in the effort of improving the learning of mathematics. Beliefs may have been one of the contributing factors to the widening of the gap between theory and practice. Therefore, examining the relationship between beliefs and practices in mathematics is crucial to gain an overview of the preparation of potential teacher candidates and the development of teacher education in the future. This study aims to examine the relationship between beliefs held by pre-service elementary school teachers and the instructional practices in mathematics class. This study employs the case study that focuses on one of the pre-service elementary school teachers who is undertaking practical field experience in the 2015/2016 academic year. The findings of this study indicate that the instructional practices do not necessarily reflect the beliefs that are held. On the other hand, beliefs about the nature of mathematics influence more dominant than the other beliefs against instructional practices.

A HYBRID CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION IN SECOND LANGUAGE TEACHER EDUCATION (SLTE): A CRITICAL REFLECTION OF TEACHER EDUCATORS

Nani Solihati, Nani

Hybrid instruction, which combines face-to-face classroom interaction and virtual activities, has been a growing interest for many teachers in universities, particularly those in teacher education programmes. This article
presents my colleague’s as well as my own critical reflections on our experience with practising hybrid classroom instruction in SLTE in a private university
in Indonesia. Within this hybrid classroom, Google Classroom (GC) was incorporated as a companion of the face-to-face (F2F) classroom learning sessions of twenty-two preservice teachers taking the curriculum and materials development (CMD) module. To help with our reflection, we took notes during our observation and asked the students to write a journal after each of our teaching sessions. We highlight several benefits and challenges when incorporating GC in a hybrid classroom. Implications for the practice of a hybrid classroom in
SLTE, particularly within the Indonesian higher education context, are also offered.

Facilitating Students’ Creativity in an EFL Writing Classroom: Voices from the Field

Mulyono, Herri

This article documents an English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom writing activity to promote students’ creativity. This writing activity had two main objectives: to provide students with writing activities that would promote their practical use of written English language as a means of communication, and to facilitate their creativity in engaging with and solving problems in their social community. A real-world pedagogic writing task was developed to achieve these two objectives. The activity was carried out in a junior secondary school extra-curricular activity with sixteen students from Years 7 and 8. Students’ perceptions of the writing activity were positive, and their awareness of social issues in the community had improved after participating in the activity.

The Complex Relationship between Teachers’ Mathematics-related Beliefs and their Practices in Mathematics Class

Purnomo, Yoppy Wahyu

Mathematics-related beliefs play an important role in giving a teacher directions for taking decisions and for their behavior in a mathematics class. Therefore, the purposes of this research are to reveal the profile of teachers’ mathemat-ics-related beliefs, the consistency among belief dimensions, teachers’ practical profile in a mathematics class, and the consistency between beliefs and teachers’ practices in a mathematics class. This research used surveys with a cross-sec-tional design to collect data from 325 elementary school teachers in Jakarta. Teachers’ beliefs instruments and teachers’ practices in mathematics class were used to collect data. The findings of this research indicate that teachers tend to be constructivism-oriented but are not accompanied with suitable practices in mathematics class. Moreover, complex relationships also occur in both belief dimensions and in their relationships with the practices in a mathematics class.

The results of this study indicate gender representation differentiated between the
colonial period and the period after independence. The behavior of women is found
behavioral mimicry as an activity to equate the situation with the invaders. Activities
undertaken in the field of women are still largely domestic. Thought leaders during the
colonial women still around family life, and in the aftermath of independence has not
changed optimally. During the colonial period there is the oppression of women in the
domestic sphere, which caused the women do not have the economic power and when
in public spaces experienced more sexual repression, both of invaders and of
indigenous men. It was more due to ignorance and poverty. In the period after
independence women have been able to demonstrate the existence of self to make a
living in accordance with the skills possessed, but still there is oppression in the
domestic and public spaces.

FEMINISME DAN KONSEP KESETARAAN GENDER

 

FEMINISME DAN KONSEP KESETARAAN GENDER

Tohirin, Tohirin

Di alam demokratis, ide “kesetaraaan” semakin menemukan indung semangnya. Betapa hebatdan luarbiasanya kalimat ini sehingga seolah-olah tak seorang pun dapat menentangnya. Sebab, prinsip kesetaraan ini bukan hanya selaras dengan nilai-nilai Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM), namun juga senapas dengan nilai-nilai agama (religious value) dan visi kenabian (prophetic vision). Kalau mau dirujuk ke dunia Barat,1 sesungguhnya benih keseteraan dan nilai-nilai HAM ini sudah mulai disemai sejak abad pencerahan (renaisance), sebuah fase di mana Barat bangun dari tidur gelapnya (the dark age). Masa-masa sebelumnya, dunia Barat didominasi oleh doktrin gereja yang sangat absolut dan non manusiawi (unhuman).Barat terus merangkak menuju masa yang lebih manusiawi. Sejarah mencatat, benih kemanusiaan (humanism) ala Barat ini menyiratkan traumatis mendalam terhadap agama. Humanisme Barat merupakan nalar kemanusiaan yang mendasarkan dirinya pada nilai-nilai materialis-antroposentris. Hasilnya, humanisme Barat kering dari sentuhan agama dan menempatkannya ke dalam sudut privasi. Agama menjadi perilaku subyektif yangtidak boleh dikaitkan, apalagi mengurusi domain publik (baca: sekulerisme). Masa-masaselanjutya adalah sebuah fase yang menggairahkan di mana hak asasi dan martabat kemanusiaan mendapatkan apresiasi positif di alam demokrasi. Sekarang tak ada lagi perbedaan yang mencolok antara penguasa dan rakyat. Semua orang berhak berbicara, menyampaikan pendapat yang berbeda, dan mendapatkan perlakuan yang sama.

Differences between quadratic equations and functions: Indonesian pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ views

Aziz, Tian Abdul

Difference between quadratic equation and quadratic function as perceived by Indonesian pre-service secondary mathematics teachers (N = 55) who enrolled at one private university in Jakarta City was investigated. Analysis of participants’ written responses and interviews were conducted consecutively. Participants’ written responses highlighted differences between quadratic equation and function by referring to their general terms, main characteristics, processes, and geometrical aspects. However, they showed several obstacles in describing the differences such as inappropriate constraints and improper interpretations. Implications of the study are discussed.

Potential characteristics that relate to teachers mathematics-related beliefs

 

Potential characteristics that relate to teachers mathematics-related beliefs

Purnomo, Yoppy Wahyu

A characteristic of the persons was very potential to affect the beliefs they held. This study examines whether there was a significant difference between the beliefs factors with characteristics such as gender, teaching experience, certification status, and grade level assignments. There were 325 primary school teachers in East Jakarta who participated in this research. MANOVA was applied to analyze the data. The findings of this study indicate that only on teaching experience, there was a significant difference between the beliefs held by the teachers, i.e. teachers who have 11-20 years teaching experience were more likely to think absolute than constructivism. Moreover, there was no difference between each belief they held with the other characteristics.
