This study aims to investigate the similarities and differences between prospective mathematics teachers’ creative thinking skills in paper-pencil test and on a Geogebra-supported environment in terms of problem-posing. This case study used purposive sampling method for determining the participants. Findings revealed that the activities carried out in the GeoGebra-supported environment were insufficient to produce creative problems, and GeoGebra’s main utility to prospective teachers was in identifying their mistakes related to mathematical concepts and discrepancies among numerical values of the problems posed. The reasons for the low achievement in posing problem were discussed: These were; (i) lack of problem-posing experience, (ii) the structure of problem-posing activity, and (iii) prospective teachers’ mathematical content knowledge.

This study aims to obtained description of the ability of prospective mathematics teachers in applying scientific approaches to learning activities in the classroom. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The participants research were prospective mathematics teacher (PPL teachers) interns at SMP Negeri 2 Jember. Data collection techniques used were questionnaires, interviews, observation, and the results of supervision at the practical examination. Data analysis techniques in this study using a checklist and flow analysis model of Miles and Huberman. The results showed that: (1) PPL teachers' understanding of the learning model through a scientific approach gained 28.57% in the category is can and as much as 71.43% in the category is quite capable; (2) the ability of PPL teachers in preparing the learning device in accordance with the curriculum structure in 2013 gained as much as 100% in the category is capable; (3) the ability of PPL teachers in implementing the learning activities using scientific approaches gained as much as 57.14% in the category is can and as much as 42.86% in the category is quite capable; (4) the ability of PPL teachers formulate and implement authentic assessment gained 28.57% in the category is can and as much as 71.43% in the category is quite capable; (5) PPL students' response to the teacher during teaching (internship) gained as much as 42.86% in the category is accordance with the characteristics of students as a teacher of mathematics and as much as 57.14% in the category is according to the characteristics of students as a teacher of mathematics. While the barriers experienced by teachers PPL is the lack of experience in implementing the scientific approach to learning, especially on the activities of questioning and reasoning, the allocation of time, and still difficulties in conducting assessments based the Curriculum 2013.

The ability to prove formal mathematics is an important ability that must be mastered by undergraduate prospective mathematics teachers. However, students who are prospective mathematics teachers have difficulty in constructing proof in mathematics courses. Therefore, this study aims to explore the tendency of mathematical proof methods for prospective mathematics teachers in second year lectures. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive research. Participants in this study were 30 prospective mathematics teachers at a tertiary institution in Tuban, East Java. The research instrument is a simple task of compiling mathematical evidence. The results of the study were analyzed using the classification of types of proof by Miyazaki, namely classifying the types of deductive and inductive reasoning. The results showed that prospective mathematics teachers had a greater tendency to use deductive reasoning than using inductive reasoning. Type A proof is the most common type of proof. In addition, around 70% of prospective teachers still experience difficulties in compiling evidentiary tasks.
