The mathematics teacher profession has become a challenging and interesting profession in the era of technological advancement and global competition. The fact that mathematics is difficult is not able to stop interested (students) to become mathematics teachers. This is a basic asset that they have seen the opportunities behind challenges. This article aims to provide an overview of prospective mathematics teacher candidates regarding the opportunities, hopes, demands, and challenges of becoming a mathematics teacher. To accommodate these objectives, the article is divided into three main sections related to the question: Why choose a mathematics education study program? What does it take to be a math teacher? What needs to be prepared to become a mathematics teacher? These three questions are answered in their respective sections in the hope that they can give an idea of ??what needs to be done, what has been done, and how the students of mathematics teacher candidates follow the lectures.

Regulated Learning

The number theory is the first mathematics content course in the UPH FIP Mathematics Education study program, which does not have a response class. The response class was conducted as a companion to four content subjects with close relations with school mathematics content, namely Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Geometry, and Linear Algebra. Based on the questionnaire that has been distributed, prospective mathematics teachers consider that the response class is beneficial for them in attending lectures and in exploring related mathematical concepts. However, on the other hand, students inevitably have to go back to learning to be determined with the response class. The implication is that students' self-regulated learning will not develop optimally. However, self-regulated learning is an essential aspect that prospective teachers need to have. This research was conducted to see how self-regulated learning of future mathematics teachers in number theory courses. The research instruments used are questionnaires, the scale of self-regulated learning, and interviews. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The results of this study are that most students have a moderate level of learning independence. The aspects or indicators of learning independence that need special attention are setting learning goals/targets. Prospective teacher students need to continue to train and develop their learning independence to become professional teachers who continue to develop along with the times.

Character values need to be given to students from elementary school to university. These character values can be integrated into the learning process for all fields of study, including Mathematics. The problem: How do you teach a mathematics teacher or lecturer in the Mathematics Education Study Program to integrate character values in the learning process? This study involved partner lecturer, namely Prof. Guo Yuanbing from Guangxi Normal University. As a result, tips were obtained if a lecturer wanted to integrate character values in the learning process. The tips: (1) Lecturers provide exemplary attitudes, speaks, and actions that reflect noble character. (2) Lecturers provide information to students about the character values developed by the university. (3) Lecturers insert the character values on mathematical tasks. (4) Lecturers are strongly advised to evaluate the growth of character values in students. Suggestion: Universities should provide regulations on the need for lecturers to evaluate the emergence of student character values.

Editorial Essay

The writing of “The future of fractions” in 1978 was motivated by a single incident, the quote that begins the article. That quote—indicating that fractions would become obsolete—is from an editorial essay in the Virginia Mathematics Teacher by Lucien Hall. Hall was an active, responsible, and knowledgeable member of the mathematics education community, and when I saw what he had written, I knew that his statement represented the beliefs of many other mathematics teachers and educators. I felt that his statement and this broader view of the impending demise of fractions had to be addressed.

Visual Basic For Application

For Mathematics Education Study Program, Mathematics of Economics is a subject where Mathematics is applied in Economics. In this course, mathematical concepts and theories which have been studied in the previous semesters have to be applied in Economics that is new for the students. For this kind of subject, the lecturer has to be more creative in the class so that the lesson will be more interesting and understandable. The aim of this research is to know the improvement of learning motivation in Mathematics of Economics through the use of multimedia development using Visual Basic for Application (VBA) in the class. This multimedia is presented in the form of a game in Microsoft PowerPoint (PPt) program. Respondents of this study were 34 students of class A in the fourth semester of Mathematics Education study program of Teacher Training and Education Faculty at Universitas Islam Malang who were taking this course. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques using observation and interview techniques. The observation sheet and the interview guidelines used here are arranged based on indicators measuring learning motivation. The result shows that the use of multimedia development with VBA can improve the students’ learning motivation to study Mathematics of Economics. The recalling of mathematical concepts and theories which have been studied before can be more interesting in the form of a game, while the new Economics concepts and theories with the mathematical application inside can be understood easily in the form of competition that enhances the motivation.

The Right

Trigonometry, a discipline in mathematics, is often misunderstood by mathematics learners. To understand Trigonometry, students should start learning from understanding Mathematical concepts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze students' understanding of concepts in the Trigonometry course. This research is a qualitative descriptive study of the first semester students' conceptual understanding of the mathematics education study program at a university in Malang City. The data collected in this study consisted of the subject's work and transcripts of interviews. The instrument used in this study consisted of 6 questions about understanding the concept of trigonometric material. Analysis of the subject's work results is carried out to find out the right or wrong answers. Meanwhile, the interview transcripts were analyzed by coding to determine the factors that support conceptual understanding. The results showed that students with good conceptual understanding could solve trigonometric problems, while students with less understanding of concepts had difficulty solving trigonometric problems. The results of this study also found aspects that influence (encourage and inhibit) students in understanding the concept of trigonometry. Furthermore, this research is expected to contribute to trigonometry subjects' learning based on indicators of conceptual understanding in the Trigonometry course.

This article was prepared based on qualitative research, case studied with research subjects 36 undergraduate students of mathematics education study program FMIPA UNNES in elementary linear algebra. Intended to find out students’ problem solving abilities aspects of algebraic creative thinking and to describe connections between aspects of students creative thinking in solving problems. Aspects of creative thinking include: fluency, flexibility, novelty, and elaboration. Data obtained through tests, observations, and interviews. Based on the analysis of the test results, as many as 17 students reached the minimal criteria which is at least 61, and 15 students worth under 61. This indicates that many students had difficulty in solving problems of elementary linear algebra that contain aspects of creative thinking. The creative thinking character ofstudentsinsolvingproblemsofelementaryalgebrawithaspectsofcreativethinking; based on data analysis, obtained information that students in solving problems generally tend to thought on aspects of fluency. Some students had difficulty thought intermsofflexibility.Onlyafewstudentsthoughtofthenoveltyaspect.Manystudents had difficulty thought about aspects of elaboration. In connection between aspects of creative thinking there were several sequence patterns in thought when solving problems. Only a few of the four aspects of creative thinking were patterned on the minds of students.
