This study examines prospective teachers beliefs in their own abilities and effectiveness to impart mathematical literacy to their students, their beliefs about mathematical problem solving, and the relationship between these two belief systems. A total of 567 prospective teachers, majoring in mathematics, science and elementary teacher education programs volunteered to participate in the study. The Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale about Mathematical Literacy and the Beliefs about Mathematical Problem solving instruments were administered to prospective teachers. Results of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between the beliefs about mathematical problem solving and self-efficacy. Findings of this study indicated that prospective teachers beliefs about mathematical literacy were an important predictor on the beliefs about mathematical problem solving.

This study explored teachers' beliefs about mathematical problem-solving. It involved 36 identified teachers of Kayonza District in Rwanda via an explanatory mixed-method approach. The findings indicate that most teachers show a positive attitude towards advancing problem-solving in the mathematics classroom. However, they expose different views on its implementation. Role of problem-solving, Mathematical problems, and Problem-solving in Mathematics were identified as main themes. Problem-solving was highlighted as an approach that helps teachers use time adequately and helps students develop critical thinking and reasoning that enable them to face challenges in real life. The study recommends teacher professional development initiatives with their capacity to bring problem-solving to standard.

AbstrakKemampuan problem solving dan problem posing matematis merupakan kemampuan matematis yang perlu dimiliki oleh mahasiswa. Melalui kedua kemampuan ini, seorang mahasiswa dapat lebih kreatif dalam mengungkapkan ide serta gagasannya dengan cara menghubungkan pengetahuan yang dia peroleh sebelumnya dan mengaitkannya dengan pengetahuan yang dia diperoleh sekarang; serta mampu menuangkan gagasan/ide dalam menyelesaikan persoalan matematis yang dihadapinya. Namun pada kenyataannya, masih banyak mahasiswa yang belum memiliki kedua kemampuan ini, sehingga perlu diadakan perbaikan pembelajaran melalui pendekatan yang tepat. Pada penelitian ini, pendekatan pembelajaran yang dijadikan sebagai solusinya adalah pendekatan Realistic. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan problem solving dan problem posing matematik mahasiswa melalui pendekatan Realistic. Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif. Instrumen yang digunakan pada penelitian ini berupa tes diagnostik berupa pre-test dan pos-test, dan angket. Hasil dari penelitian ini, kemampuan problem solving dan problem posing mahasiswa cenderung meningkat. Rekomendasi bagi peneliti lain adalah melakukan penelitian sejenis ini dengan subjek penelitian yang berbeda, seperti mahasiswa calon guru.AbstractMathematical problem solving and problem posing skill are the mathematical skills that need to be owned by students. By having this skill, students can be more creative in expressing ideas by connecting the knowledge that they held previously. But in reality, there are some students who are lack of problem solving skill; therefore it is really important to improve learning through appropriate approach. Realistic approach had been chosen as the learning theory to be applied in the class. This study has the objective to find out whether the use of realistic approach enhances students’ mathematical problem solving and problem posing skills. The research methodology used in this study is a quantitative research. The instrument used diagnostic tests (pre-test and post-test); and questioner. The results of this study, the mathematical problem solving and problem posing skills students tend to increase. Recommendations for other researchers are do the research of mathematical problem solving and problem posing skills in other populations, especially prospective teachers.

The research aims to determine the mathematical problem-solving ability of prospective teachers’  through  reflective learning.  Reflective learning is a learning process that provides students the opportunity to examine and investigate the problems that is triggered by experience, analyzing of individual the experiences, and facilitate the learning of  the experiences. These lessons are identified to improve mathematical ability students. By using a descriptive qualitative research. The subject of this study were students of Mathematics Education Program in one of private universities in Palembang, consisting of 34 students. This study was conducted in odd semester academic year of 2015/2016. The instruments in this study were mathematical problem-solving ability test, observation sheet, and interview guide. The data were analyzed descriptively. Based on analysis of the data are found that the average mathematical problem-solving ability of students’  through  reflective learning in good categories.
