Awareness of metacognition is one of mental process that occurs when a person knows what he thinks, including the knowledge and awareness to do something or realize the reason that. The purpose of this study is (1) to describe how the metacognition awareness of mathematics student and mathematics education student based on mathematical ability, and (2) to know the difference metacognitive awareness between of mathematics students with math education students based on mathematical ability. This research subject are the Department of Mathematics and Mathematics Education students of Halu Oleo University Kendari, Indonesia. This research is ex post facto by the data analysis using descriptive and inferential approach. Descriptive approach used to describe the level of metacognitive awareness of mathematics students and mathematics education students based on his mathematical abilities, whereas inferential approach used to see the difference in metacognition awareness of mathematics students and mathematics education students based math skills. The results of this study are: (1) the level of students metacognition awareness of Mathematics Department, generally located on level strategic use and level reflective use, while the level of students metacognition awareness of Education Mathematics Department, generally located on level aware use; (2) there is a significant difference between the awareness metacognition of math students with mathematics education student based on his mathematical abilities, and awareness metacognition of math student better than mathematics education students.

Most educators agree that assisting students in building character is a worthwhile education goal. Character affects everything about their lives such as their thoughts, decisions, actions, relationships and goals. The purpose of this work was to find out the ways to build the students' characters through (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education and Scientific Literacy. It can be concluded that building students' characters through STEM Education and Scientific Literacy has already been an alternative ways. Through STEM Education, students are urged to develop their knowledge and critical thinking to face existing phenomena. Students will also be able to design advantageous technology as alternative solution. Through Scientific Literacy, other than gaining new knowledge, students will be also urged to identify problems, describe scientific phenomena, and able to draw conclusion from the empirical evidences they found. In the end, student will be more sympathetic towards their environment, especially the science related ones.

The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of mathematics and mathematics education students’ views about mathematical proof and find out whether there was a significant difference among students’ views according to their departments or not. The study was conducted with senior students (n=275) studying in final year at the department of Primary Mathematics Teacher Training (n=98), Secondary Mathematics Teacher Training (n=87) and Mathematics (n=90) at a state university at the beginning of the spring semester of 2014-2015 academic terms in East Anatolia Region of Turkey. Quantitative research approach was adopted in this study. The model of the study was comparative research which was one of the model in the nonexperimental research designs. The data were collected with Conception Scale for Mathematical Proof developed by Doruk and Güler (2014). Results of the study showed that secondary mathematics teacher training students had more negative overall views, more negative views regarding benefits obtained from mathematical proof in mathematical sense, and less self-confidence, and more negative views about meaning assigned to proof than other students. Moreover, it was revealed that mathematics students’ views regarding necessity of proof in mathematics and mathematics education were more positive than other students. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı matematik ve matematik eğitimi öğrencilerinin matematiksel ispata yönelik görüşlerinin düzeylerini belirlemek ve öğrenci görüşlerinin öğrenim görülen bölümlere göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışma 2014-2015 öğretim yılının bahar yarıyılının başında, Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki bir devlet üniversitesinin son sınıflarında öğrenim gören toplam 275 ilköğretim matematik öğretmenliği (n=98), ortaöğretim matematik öğretmenliği (n=87) ve matematik bölümü öğrencileri (n=90) ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yaklaşımı benimsenmiştir. Çalışmanın modeli deneysel olmayan desenlerden biri olan karşılaştırmalı araştırma modelidir. Çalışmanın verileri, Doruk ve Güler (2014) tarafından geliştirilen Matematiksel İspata Yönelik Görüş Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, ortaöğretim matematik öğretmenliği bölümü öğrencilerinin ispata yönelik genel görüşlerinin, ispatların kendilerine matematiksel anlamda sağladığı faydalara yönelik görüşlerinin, ispata karşı özgüvenlerinin ve ispata yükledikleri anlamın diğer öğrencilere göre daha olumsuz olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Matematik bölümü öğrencilerinin ispatın matematik ve matematik eğitimindeki gerekliliğine yönelik görüşlerinin ise diğer öğrencilere nazaran daha olumlu olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.

AbstractMathematics is fundamental for many professions, especially science, technology, and engineering. Yet, mathematics is often perceived as difficult and many students leave disciplines in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as a result, closing doors to scientific, engineering, and technological careers. In this editorial, we argue that how mathematics is traditionally viewed as “given” or “fixed” for students’ expected acquisition alienates many students and needs to be problematized. We propose an alternative approach to changes in mathematics education and show how the alternative also applies to STEM education.
