Pedagogical Environment

Most of the underlying concepts that pervade what is typically referred to as “higher” mathematics are relegated to the arena of the mathematical elite. The research presented here demonstrates that, given the proper pedagogical environment, these concepts are quite accessible for early high school students. Through SchemePaint, a graphics enhanced computer programming language, students learned the mathematical notion that a function can be a data object. Further, students were able to apply their knowledge of functions from within the graphics domain to solve novel mathematical problems. This work suggests the need for a more elaborate study of how such early conceptual introduction of advanced material may preclude some of the problems which have been documented to pervade the later stages of students' academic career.

Victims Of Bullying

Bullying is still a troubling social problem. Bullying cases that occur in high school students have caused many problems both physically and psychologically. Bullying is a phenomenon that is very much, rooted, passed down from generation to generation. The seriousness of bullying is a big problem for all of us. The level of knowledge and concern for teachers, parents, health service teams, and the Indonesian people towards bullying is still low. Information systems are needed for management in making decisions to overcome bullying problems. Researchers in this study created a system that can be used as a means of delivering information from students to schools. The creation of this system is based on a system that is easily accessible, secure, and guarantees the confidentiality of the complainants. So that this product can help schools identify cases of bullying in schools, who are the perpetrators of bullying, and victims of bullying, with the hope that schools can stop the chain of bullying events and prevent bullying at schools. The scheme in this study is to design a website that reports bullying and provides information. The system design model used in this study is a prototype model and data was collected through observation, interviews and literature study. The programming language used is PHP and software for designing interfaces using the laravel framework. Making a database using MySQL with the XAMMP application.

Mathematical Misconceptions

The need for developing students' higher order thinking skills is the main indicator in the application of HOTS-based questions in high school mathematics learning. The results of the implementation have not shown satisfactory results. The high level thinking ability of students in Indonesia in Mathematics is still very low. Therefore, a HOTS-based diagnostic test is needed which is able to detect the mathematical misconceptions of high school students as the aim of this study. Based on the research objectives, the method of this study is a qualitative method with research design using the Plomp model research design. The subjects of this study were several students and teachers at a school in Cirebon Regency. The results showed that four HOTS questions could be developed based on three aspects, namely, arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The problem was developed to detect three forms of misconception, namely, theoretical, classification, and correlational misconceptions. The four questions that have been developed were assessed through the readability test of students and teachers, and CVR and CVI tests were carried out on eight mathematics teachers with valid results. Based on these results it can be concluded that the HOTS questions developed can be implemented for students to detect forms of mathematical misconceptions of high school students.

Probably no subject in the curriculum begins more concretely and ends more abstractly than does mathematics as it travels the brain waves of students from K to 12. From using colored beads and flannel boards to finding zeros of higher-order polynomials or determining whether a given system is a group or a field is a giant step that few complete. While it is not to be expected that all or even most students will persevere through twelve years of mathematics, many capable students quit the ranks too soon.
