The Impact

Low self-confidence in problem solving is one of the main issues in terms of mathematics education between high school students, and this issue led to decreasing the mathematic learning. Mathematic educators always faced a challenge with learners for not being proactive in solving the problems and avoiding them, hence this study aimed to explore the main factors that influence self-confidence problem solving. A total of 20 questions are designed based on different literature and principle components, and confirmatory factor analysis was used for analysing the data. The results of the study indicated that the main influence factors are ability, motivation, perseverance, sense of helplessness and inhibitor. Finally, recommendation and some policies are presented to increase the self-confidence in educational system.

The Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI; Heppner & Petersen, 1982 ) was developed to assess perceived problem-solving abilities. Using confirmatory factor analysis, results supported a bilevel model of PSI scores with a sample of 164 Mexican American students. Findings support the cultural validity of PSI scores with Mexican Americans and enhance the generalizability with culturally diverse samples.

The Impact

Background: Resilience is one of the factors that can prevent psychological problems among young people and adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to design and explain a psychological resilience model based on the feeling of social support through hardiness among high school students in Sari, Iran. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive-correlational study was carried out on a total of 280 first-grade students in the high schools of Sari selected using multistage cluster sampling. Resilience questionnaire, social support questionnaire, and problem-solving questionnaire were employed for data collection. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were utilized to analyze the data using SPSS.22 and AMOS.22. Results: The mean age values of the male and female students were reported as 13.4±2.4 and 13.8±2.5 years, respectively. The obtained results of the current study showed that there was a positive relationship between social support with resilience and hardiness. Hardiness also mediated the relationship between social support and resilience. Among the components of social support, the most influential factor was related to family support, and the most effective factor in resilience was the notion of competence and acceptance of love. In addition, the most effective factor in hardiness was the component of commitment. Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed that hardiness and resilience increased with the enhancement of social support. The impact of social support on resilience also increased partially as a result of increased hardiness.

This research is a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test non-equivalent group design. The population in this research is all of the students on class X in SMA Negeri 1 Marga Tiga and the sampling technique is total sampling. Data are collected by documentation and test. Data are analyzed with descriptive statistics to compare the mean scores of N-Gain  obtained by each student.  The results of the analysis shows that (1) the student’s geometry problem solving ability with cooperative learning STAD is higher than the conventional learning, (2) the student’s geometry problem solving ability with wingeom software in cooperative learning STAD is higher than the conventional learning, (3) the student’s geometry problem solving ability with wingeom software in cooperative learning STAD is higher than without using wingeom software. This research shows that the cooperative learning STAD by using the wingeom software has a significant effect on the high school students’ geometry problem-solving ability. The finding of this research shows that the students are still having difficulties in solving the problems, especially when the students have to look back whether the finishing is right or not.

Realistic Mathematics

In general, junior high school students learn mathematics with an inductive pattern. However, the statements in mathematics are obtained through a deductive mindset. Therefore we need a learning approach that can accommodate students' thinking patterns. Mathematics adheres to the law of consistency which causes the structure of material in mathematics to be hierarchically arranged, interrelated, and has characteristics that have implications for determining strategies, approaches and the use of learning media. This article aims to review the theory of the Realistic Mathematics Education Approach (PMR). An approach that can make students involved in building their own concepts and models used through problem solving. The PMR discussion begins with the definition of PMR, the principles and characteristics of PMR, and the contribution of PMR in learning mathematics. Writing this article uses the literature review method which consists of books, journal articles, and other documents related to the topic of discussion. The results of the study found that Realistic Mathematics Education (PMR) is a mathematics learning innovation that is in accordance with the 2013 curriculum.The use of contexts and models, as well as the use of student contributions through discussions to discuss various linkages between mathematics material, makes this approach able to contribute to improving five general mathematical abilities. which includes: the ability to understand mathematics, problem solving, mathematical connections, mathematical communication, and mathematical reasoning.

Main Factor

This study had purposes of exploring the factors inhibiting the students in speaking English and knowing teachers perception toward the factors inhibiting the students in speaking English as a foreign language. It was done to overcome students problems in learning the target language ans solve students problems in learning to speak. Descriptive qualitative research was chosen as a research design in conducting this study. It also invloved students and teacher as the subjects of this study. This study proposed twelve factors inhibiting the students in speaking derived from two main factors such as affective and cognitive factor. Shyness, lack of motivation, self-confidence, self-esteem, feeling toward interlocutor, feeling toward topic, and self-concsiousness were the sub-factors under affective factor. Grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, familiarity of the genre, and knowledge of the topic were considered as cognitive factor. The result of the study showed that the two main factors, affective and cognitive factors, appeared to inhibit the students in learning to speak English as a foreign language. All of the sub-factors categorized as affective factor had revealed to be the factors inhibiting the students in speaking. The result also found that grammar, pronunciation, and knowledge of vocabulary were the factors inhibiting the students in speaking. In addition, the students also got more influence from affective factor as the first main factor inhibiting the students in learning to speak English. The result also showed that the teacher had positively agreed that the inhibiting factors as mentioned earlier also inhibited the students in learning to speak English as a foreign language. In the end, the teacher should also consider the result of the research as the consideration in designing the activity in the process of learning to speak English as a foreign language which would help the students to overcome their speaking problems.
