This study aims to create a learning trajectory on research in mathematics education using design research methodology to enhance research and academic writing skills for pre-service mathematics teachers. The fourteen pre-service mathematics teachers during 5 months period from one higher education institution in Tangerang – Indonesia was collected. The design research method was carried out in three phases: preliminary design phase, teaching experiments phase, and retrospective analysis phase. Initial data analysis of 14 pre-service teachers’ research and academic writing skills was conducted in six stages and the learning trajectories on this topic was identified. The fourteen pre-service teachers were divided into 7 groups and research independently to produce seven scientific articles. The six articles were published in the proceedings of Konferensi Nasional Matematika (National Congress of Mathematics) XVII 2014 and one article was published in the Elemen Journal Vol. 1 No. 1.

AbstractBefore the pandemic (2019), we asked: On what themes should research in mathematics education focus in the coming decade? The 229 responses from 44 countries led to eight themes plus considerations about mathematics education research itself. The themes can be summarized as teaching approaches, goals, relations to practices outside mathematics education, teacher professional development, technology, affect, equity, and assessment. During the pandemic (November 2020), we asked respondents: Has the pandemic changed your view on the themes of mathematics education research for the coming decade? If so, how? Many of the 108 respondents saw the importance of their original themes reinforced (45), specified their initial responses (43), and/or added themes (35) (these categories were not mutually exclusive). Overall, they seemed to agree that the pandemic functions as a magnifying glass on issues that were already known, and several respondents pointed to the need to think ahead on how to organize education when it does not need to be online anymore. We end with a list of research challenges that are informed by the themes and respondents’ reflections on mathematics education research.

ResumoNeste artigo são apresentadas algumas das concepções que se observam, explicitamente ou subjacentemente, no relato de pesquisas na área da educação matemática, as quais orientam seu desenvolvimento, fins e resultados. As concepções destacadas se entrelaçam com várias formas e caminhos possíveis para levantar dados e analisar o que é obtido em investigações no que se refere às situações de ensino e de aprendizagem escolar, ou, a processos formativos de diferentes naturezas e níveis. Não há hierarquização entre elas, não são necessariamente mutuamente excludentes, e, cada uma traz contribuições a serem consideradas nos limites de suas perspectivas.Palavras-chave:  Educação matemática, Metodologias de pesquisa, Concepções de pesquisa, Formação do pesquisador. AbstractIn this article, is exposed an analytic view of conceptions that we can observe in reports of research in the field of mathematical education. They guide the purpose, proceedings and results of the investigation and they interweave the ways and research means of obtaining data. This analysis is done by observing reports of empirical research on school learning or about process of teachers’ education. There are no hierarchy between then and they are not mutually exclusive. Each one brings their contribution that can be considered in their perspectives and limits.Keywords: Mathematic education, Research methodologies, Research conceptions, Researchers’ education. ResumenEn este artículo se analizan concepciones observables, directamente o no, en relatos de investigaciones científicas en el campo de la educación matemática. Esas concepciones orientan los procedimientos investigativos, los análisis de los resultados y sus fines. Ellas están entrelazadas con los caminos de búsqueda de datos y conclusiones. Las investigaciones tratadas dicen respecto a situaciones de la enseñanza y del aprendizaje en la escuela o a procesos de formación de varios tipos, mayormente, la formación de docentes. No hay jerarquía entre ellas, no son mutuamente excluyentes, y cada una aporta su contribución específica.Palabras-clave: Educación matemática; metodologías de la investigación; concepciones de investigación; formación de investigadores.

The purposive of this study are (1) the average mathematical communication abilities of students who have learned by applying the ethnomatemics-based Realistic Mathematics Education approach, (2) the mastery of learning mathematical communication abilities of students who are taught with the Mathematics-Based Realistic Mathematics approach. This type of research is quantitative with true experimental design research design using the form of Posttest Only Control. The sample uses a simple random sampling technique and is carried out in class V SD 5 Jepang as an experimental class and class V SD 1 Gulang as a control class. Data collection techniques are tests of students' mathematical communication abilities. Data analysis techniques in this study include normality test, homogeneity test, average difference test and learning completeness test. The results showed that (1) the average mathematical communication ability of the experimental class students was higher than the average mathematical communication ability of control class students with expository learning; (2) students' mathematical communication abilities with ethnomatemicsbased Realistic Mathematics Education approach achieve mastery learning.
