Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has an influence overall areas, as well as on learning. Learning is required to adjust the development of ICT to make learning more effective and dynamic. Constraints faced in the implementation of ICT. It is the underlying to do research related to the teacher's understanding of technology. This study will analyze the profile of technological understanding of juniorhigh school mathematics teachers using TPACK framework. Furthermore, age factor, length of teaching, and gender are analyzed its effect on TPACK using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of this study are six validated TPACK components, obtained five components namely TK, CK, PCK, TPTCK, TPCK. Based on the TPACK framework of junior high school mathematics teachers in Banten obtained the highest average score on the CK component. Age factor, duration of teaching and gender have no significant effect or only small effect on the five components of TPACK

Helping junior high school students to use calculators and computers for problem solving and investigating real-life situations is an objective of the junior high school mathematics curriculum in Ghana. Ironically, there is a technological drought in junior high school mathematics instruction in Ghana, with a suspicion that mathematics teachers’ competency in the use of calculators for teaching may be the source of this lack of use. This study sought to establish a correlation between junior high school mathematics teachers’ competence and the motivation supporting the use of calculators in teaching.  A descriptive survey comprising of a test and questionnaire was used to collect data from junior high school mathematics teachers in an educational district in Ghana. Teacher characteristics such as educational attainment, age, and gender in relation to teachers’ competency in the use of calculators were discussed in the study. The results showed that about 70% of the teachers exhibited a low level of calculator competence. Besides, novice teachers outperformed expert teachers in the calculator competency-based test. Additionally, mathematics teachers’ enthusiasm for using calculators in teaching was directly associated with the teachers’ level of competency. The findings may send a signal to stakeholders in their efforts to revising the Ghana JHS curriculum in order to actualize the curriculum desire for the integration of technology in the teaching and learning of JHS mathematics.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan hambatan guru matematika SMP dalam mengimplementasikan Kurikulum 2013. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif eksploratif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik wawancara dan focus group discussion. Sumber data adalah 10 guru mata pelajaran matematika SMP di Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mencari tema, kemudian menentukan hubungan antartema untuk memeroleh pemahaman. Hasil penelitian sebagai berikut. Pertama, pelatihan dan sosialisasi belum dapat memberikan pemahaman yang baik dan menyeluruh mengenai Kurikulum 2013. Kedua, guru kesulitan mengatur waktu pada perencanaan pembelajaran, merencanakan pembelajaran, merencanakan penilaian sikap, dan memilah pengetahuan dan keterampilan pada penyusunan instrumen penilaian. Ketiga, keterbatasan waktu dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran, kesulitan berkaitan dengan perangkat pembelajaran, dan kesulitan mengaktifkan siswa. Keempat, sistem penilaian yang rumit dan perlu waktu yang lama untuk menyusun laporan. Kata Kunci: hambatan guru matematika SMP, implementasi kurikulum baru THE OBSTACLES OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN IMPLEMENTING THE NEW CURRICULUM Abstract: The study was to describe the obstacles of junior high school mathematics teachers in implementing the new curriculum, namely Curriculum 2013, in most of junior high schools in Indonesia. The study was a descriptive explorative research by means of qualitative approach. The data were gathered by means of interviews and focus group discussions. The data source was 10 junior high school mathematics teachers in the Province of Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. The data were analyzed by looking for the themes and finding the relationship among the themes in order to gain the proper understanding. The results of the study showed that the obstacles that the teachers were as follows. First, the socialization and training programs had not been able to provide good and through understanding of the new curriculum. Second, the teachers had difficulties in arranging the time for the lesson plan, the teaching plan, the attitude assessment plan and the categorization between the knowledge and the skills in the composition of assessment instrument. Third, the implementation of the lesson plan had limited time in addition to the difficulties in designing the teaching kits and in activating the students. Forth, the assessment system was intricated and time consuming especially in the reporting process. Keywords: obstacles of junior high school mathematics teachers, implementing new curriculum

<span>Competence in research is an attractive feature that should be established for all practitioners because specialists with training and expertise in research will recognize strategic thinking, interpretation, and synthesizing more easily. Hence, this study aimed to describe the knowledge competency among junior high school mathematics teachers on the research processes applied on the contents of the various sections of a quantitative research paper. The descriptive method of research has been used to characterize the knowledge competence of 108 junior high school teachers on the research processes. The study used the research skill test, which was a researcher-made instrument, consisting of 50 multiple choice items with four choices each. The instrument went through the process of validity and reliability analysis obtaining a good result of 0.81. This study revealed that they were “novice” or had achieved the learning level of competency on the research processes applied on the contents of the different parts of a quantitative research paper. More so, they identified that interpretation of statistical results was a challenging part of doing a research paper.</span>

This study aims to describe the practicality of a comic-illustrated junior high school mathematics textbook with the Jambi cultural context that has been developed. The type of research carried out is development research using the ADDIE model which focuses on the practicality of the product. The research subject to see the practicality of this product is seen from the responses of 2 teachers and 12 students. The research instrument consisted of individual test mathematics textbook practicality sheets (Teacher Response Questionnaire), and small group mathematics textbook practicality sheets (student response questionnaire). Suggestions and comments on teacher and student questionnaire responses to junior high school mathematics textbooks were analyzed descriptively, while data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results of this study indicate that the trial is limited to 2 junior high school mathematics textbook teachers with Jambi cultural context comics who meet the practice criteria, with an average score proportion of 77.50%. While the results of the trial were limited to 12 students (student responses perception questionnaire) meeting the very practical criteria with an average percentage of 86.27%. So it can be said that the product in the form of a junior high school mathematics textbook with comics in the context of Jambi culture meets the practical criteria and is feasible to apply.
