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.

Abstrak Pendidikan matematika di Indonesia berkembang dengan pesat sejalan dengan perkembangan pendidikan matematika dunia. Perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi dalam proses pembelajaran di kelas, dipengaruhi adanya tuntutan sesuai perkembangan teknologi dan ilmu pengetahuan juga diawali adanya perubahan pandangan tentang hakekat matematika serta pembelajarannya. Perubahan pandangan tentang trend hakekat matematika dapat mendorong terjadinya perubahan substansi kurikulum. Sementara itu perubahan pandangan tentang pembelajaran matematika sangat dipengaruhi oleh terjadinya perkembangan mengenai teori belajar baik yang bersifat umum maupun yang khusus berkaitan dengan belajar matematika. Untuk mengetahui ada nya perubahan tersebut maka di butuhkan evaluasi untuk mengukurnya. Evaluasi yang bisa digunakan untuk mengukur tingkt berpikir rendah dan tingkat berfikir tinggi, namun ada evaluasi yang dilakukan untuk mengukur pembelajaran matematika secara umum, yaitu dengan TIMMS. Abstract: Mathematics education in Indonesia is growing rapidly in line with the development of mathematics education world. Changes that occur in the learning process in the classroom, influenced by the demands according to the development of technology and science also began with a change in views about the nature of mathematics and learning. Changes in views about the trend of the nature of mathematics can encourage changes in the substance of the curriculum. Meanwhile, changes in views about learning mathematics are strongly influenced by the development of learning theories both general and specifically related to learning mathematics. To find out the existence of these changes, an evaluation is needed to measure them. Evaluation can be used to measure low thinking levels and high levels of thinking, but there are evaluations conducted to measure mathematics learning in general, namely TIMMS. Keywords: evaluation, highlevel thinking, lowlevel thinking, TIMSS

Mathematics education suffers from a condition that resembles schizophrenia. One of its personalities is exhibited in the day-to-day realities of classroom learning; another is evident in journal articles, in-service presentations, and other such forums where educators present alternative realities of learning. For the purposes of this article, these personalities will be labeled, respectively, as the practice and theory of mathematics education. This article focuses on the latest form of the theoretical personality of mathematics education, constructivism, by asking what is constructivist learning theory and what does it imply for the practice of learning mathematics?

The past nine years. since the publication of the first NCTM Standards, have been exciting ones that ushered 1n a national focus on teachmg and learning mathematics We all have been compelled to examine what we teach. how we teach, and l1ow we assess our students' learning. But now is not the time to say, “We have made it: we have done that.” Mathematics education is not only alive and well in 1998. but 1t remams dynamic and evolvmg. The mathematics education community and NCTM, in particular.

[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology] Aim/Purpose: Assess the affordances and constraints of SimReal+ in teacher education Background: There is a huge interest in visualizations in mathematics education, but there is little empirical support for their use in educational settings Methodology: Single case study with 22 participants from one class in teacher education. Quantitative and qualitative methods to collect students’ responses to a survey questionnaire and open-ended questions Contribution: The paper contributes to the understanding of affordances and constraints of visualization tools in mathematics education Findings: The visualization tool SimReal+ has potential for learning mathematics in teacher education, but the user interface should be improved to make it more usable for different users. Teachers need to consider technological and pedagogical affordances of SimReal+ at the student, classroom, and mathematics subject level Recommendations for Practitioners: Address technological and pedagogical affordances of SimReal+ Recommendation for Researchers: Improve the design of SimReal+ to make it technologically and pedagogically more usable Impact on Society: Understand the affordances and constraints of visualization tools in education Future Research: Implement a next cycle of experimentation with SimReal+ in teacher education to ensure more validity and reliability
