Mathematics learning has always been a problem in the world of education in Indonesia especially in the Province of Maluku, which is a thousand island area. The geographical position of Maluku, which is an area of the archipelago, is quite extensive, affecting the quality of students in mathematics. One approach that is recommended to overcome mathematical problems of rural island-based students is realistic mathematics education (RME). The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of RME on mathematical reasoning and communication skills in a rural context. The research design used was quasi experiment. The sample size was 130 students from several junior high schools in Central Maluku Regency. The instrument developed was in the form of problem descriptions to measure students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills. The findings prove that RME has a significant influence on students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills. Thus, RME can be recommended in improving students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills in the island-based rural context.

Understanding the production of knowledge and bodies as propositions and compositions of culturalpractices, we place ourselves in this manuscript to think about the constitutions of bodies and corporealities in cyberspace. This, however, is part of a larger dissertation research, developed in the Graduate Program in Teaching Science and Mathematics Education of the State University of Londrina. Thus, we aim, in this work, to draw up considerations about the confessional technologies as instruments of embodiment and virtualization of the bodies. The considerations are raised from the theoretical reference of inspiration in the Cultural Studies of Sciences and of Education and the contributions left by Michel Foucault. We appropriate such theorizations in the production of analytical lenses, which help us during the process of anthropological immersion carried out in a group-space of the facebook social network, identified here as Vale. This immersion moves in order to inquire about multiple ontologies of the bodies, being used in this manuscript, the concept of technologies of confessionalities. We show in the group, confessional regimes that are active by: a) Confession of micro-stories, in publications, as a way of telling oneself; b) Invitations to confessions as operant of agency of wills and production of archives; and (c) response to invitations to confession.

Controversial reasoning is very important to learn because controversial problems often occur in everyday life. This study examines controversial reasoning in the context of solving mathematical problems. Therefore, this study aims to develop levels of controversial reasoning in solving mathematical problems. The subjects of this study were 185 mathematics education undergraduate students in the sixth and eighth semesters as prospective mathematics teachers. Most of them had taken courses in Pedagogy and Mathematics. The students were given three controversial mathematical problems and interviewed in-depth. The students' thought processes in solving problems construct and determine the characteristics of controversial mathematical reasoning. The study found three controversial mathematical reasoning levels characteristics: initial, exploration, and clarification. At the initial level, the subjects can recognize the controversy on an issue but cannot trace the cause of the controversy itself. At the exploration level, the subjects can explore the components that cause the problem to become controversial but cannot clarify the problem as a solution. At the level of clarification, the subjects can clarify controversial issues using plausible reasons. All the 185 subjects who answered show the answers that can be classified into three levels: initial 55 (29.73%), exploration 52 (28.11%), and clarification 78 (42.16%) subjects.
