Research design used was a quasi experimental. Subjects inthis study consisted of 70 students of class VII Junior High School, Junior High School on oneof the states in Bandung academic year 2015/2016. Subject determined by purposivesampling techniques, and this study using pretest-posttest design of the control group. Datacollected with a mathematical communication ability test descriptions. Data were analyzedusing parametric statistical tests which is Test Independent Sample T-Test and nonparametrical tests which is Test Mann-Whitney. The results showed that: (1) students wholearn math with RME approach has a better ability mathematical communication of studentswho do not learn math with RME; (2) increasing mathematical communication ability ofstudents who learn with RME better than students who do not learn with RME; (3) students'attitudes toward learning mathematics through RME showed a positive attitude.

This mixed-method research explores how students (ages 12–15) describe dispositional qualities for belonging and fitting in one junior high school. Inductive coding of open-ended responses about perceptions of belonging in school shows candor about the emotional performances and management of emotions for belonging at school. Recommendations for being authentic, nice, and friendly emerged as relevant for belonging. Findings suggest that students perform niceness and friendliness to conform to emotion norms while seeking to retain authenticity. Smiling in particular was referenced as a way to perform niceness and friendliness. Chi-square and binomial logistic regression analyses add context to how advice categories were distributed across status groups at the school. Students who speak a language other than English at home, or with minority religious affiliation were more likely to report a need for authenticity. Female as compared with male students were more likely to suggest each of the three dispositions for belonging in the school. The emotional work of students is noteworthy wherein there are potential sanctions for those not considered nice, or nice enough, and this work augments existing research on school belonging to add the often-missing student voices to enhance the corpus of research about belonging in adolescence.

This study aims to determine the development of mathematical representation skills of junior high school students (SMP) based on mathematical exam results data in 2014-2016. The research data was obtained from responses of students' answers consisting of 1,535 students in 2014 and 2,000 students in 2015 and 2016 classified based on indicators of mathematical representation ability. In addition, the classification of student response data is also by gender and type of school. This research is a descriptive research using tables and graphs to describe data analysis of the development of the ability of mathematical representation in each year. The results show that the average percentage of mathematical representation ability of junior high school students in creating and using representations to organize, record and communicate mathematical ideas decrease every year. In indicators uses representation to model and interpret the physical, social, and mathematical phenomena increase in 2014 to 2015 but decrease in 2016.

Few previous studies have compared students' epistemological beliefs in mathematics with those in science. To ascertain the discipline and gender differences on students’ epistemological beliefs, this study conducted a survey with 495 Taiwanese ninth graders in junior high school. Findings show that female students express the stronger belief that science learning occurs in a quick fashion as compared with the view that mathematics learning occurs in a quick fashion , both male and female students express the stronger belief that mathematics knowledge is certain as compared with the view that science knowledge is certain, and male students express the stronger belief that science knowledge is simple and the ability to learn science is fixed as compared with the view that mathematics knowledge is simple and the ability to learn mathematics is fixed. Male students were also in more agreement in their belief about quick learning, certain knowledge, simple knowledge, and the innate ability of mathematics, as well as certain knowledge, simple knowledge, and the innate ability of science, than were female students. This study also revealed that students’ beliefs about knowledge are domain-specific, but some evidence of domain-general beliefs also exists.

This study was conducted at the Junior High School in Palu, Central Sulawesi. Based on data analysis can be concluded that male students who have interpersonal intelligence can do all stages problem solving of mathematics, that is understand the problem,  make a plan, carry out our plan, and look back at the completed solution with tendencies to build up interaction with other people to easily understand the problems. While female students who have interpersonal intelligence  while do some stage problem solving of mathematics need help too much, that is understand the problem and make a plan. As for the stages carry out our plan, and look back at the completed solution the female students do with full of confidences.
