This research intends to explain the autonomy and creative thinking skills of prospective elementary school student teachers in mathematics with the learning management system (LMS)-assisted science phenomenon. The data collection was done by using test instruments in the form of essay questions to capture the creative thinking skills and a non-test in the form of a questionnaire was used to capture the autonomy skills of prospective elementary school student teachers. The data were analysed through several stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, data conclusions, and data validation using triangulation. The result of the research shows that using the LMS can improve the creative thinking skills of prospective elementary school teachers, while their autonomy skills in experimental classes and control classes indicate no difference. This happens because students were given the same opportunity to explore the material independently. Thus, a way to develop autonomy through mathematics learning needs to be explored.

The rapid development of science and technology has not fully brought a new paradigm in learning mathematics, seen by a large number of internet users only limited to the use of social media in every circle. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to describe elearning as a way of learning built by the Learning Management System (LMS), and how this system can play a role in personalizing mathematical concepts. The research method used is descriptive analysis by collecting data, compiling or classifying, analyzing, and interpreting several types of software commonly used in e-learning. The results of the analysis show that mathematical personalization can occur by utilizing the features contained in the topics of LMS and is very useful for building learning objects that are suitable to overcome various didactic obstacles in mathematics learning, encourage more semiotic coordination in presentations, and avoid bad classroom practices during mathematics learning. Personalization through LMS can also produce different didactic abilities by considering the profiles of students.  Keywords: personalization, mathematics, e-learning, learning management system.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the possibilities and impact of emancipatory education in the preparation of future elementary school teachers.Design/methodology/approachTo serve the purpose of the study, emancipatory education was introduced to the student teachers of an elementary school teacher education program in the Curriculum and Learning Development course. The researcher then observed them during their learning activities and analyzed their portfolios providing feedback during their poster presentations. A classroom experiential model was applied.FindingsThe results of the students’ activities indicated that most of the students were able to develop the twenty-first century skills needed to conduct the activities and avoid the tendency to follow directions from someone in authority. After the implementation of this study, the student teachers revealed higher-order thinking skills and were also able to develop learning materials and assessments that were appropriate to elementary school pupils. Still, the “old tendencies” (e.g. not thinking out of the box and waiting for direct instructions) sometimes emerged.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was applied to a single course in one out of five parallel classes in a university in a particular area in Indonesia, a developing Asian country with a collectivist culture.Originality/valueThis paper exemplifies how learning and teaching activities in a higher education institution in a developing country can be designed to help future teachers prepare themselves to function and teach in a globalized society.

This literature review aimed to describe the opportunities and challenges of integrating the Learning Management System (LMS) in mathematics learning, especially in terms of the non-technical aspects. Because many LMS platforms which can be integrated into learning process, this review only discusses the three LMS platforms which are common, namely Moodle, Edmodo, and Schoology. This review was conducted with the method as proposed by Templier and Paré (2015), in which the literature materials consisted of journal articles, proceedings, and official websites of LMS. The results of this review showed that integrating the LMS in mathematics learning indicated opportunities in terms of the positive impact which can be obtained from integrating the LMS. On the other hand, the identified challenges were about how mathematics content or materials were organized through integrating the LMS, providing feedback, and maximizing the online discussion facility provided by LMS. Therefore, to obtain the positive impact from integrating the LMS into mathematics learning, teachers should pay attention to these three challenges.

The ability to think reflective is an important ability to be developed in the mathematics learning process because it contains critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of reflective thinking skills of elementary school students in high grades. This type of research is library research. The research data was obtained through a review of literature sources, including literature from print and online research journals, proceedings, reference books according to topics, modules, and other relevant sources. The ability to think reflective of elementary school students in high grades includes, first mentioning things in basic knowledge what is asked in the questions, what is known, mentioning the relationship between what is asked and what is known, and so on. Second, displaying problem-solving ideas designed according to known knowledge. Third, look back at the problem solving that has been made in order, including correcting and explaining if there is an error from the answer, and making conclusions correctly

Since the school year of 2014-2015, the learning management system, Classera, has been implemented in many K-12 schools in Saudi Arabia with the aim of improving teaching and learning. In this study, an online survey was used to collect data to explore Saudi Arabia private and public school teacher differences in experiences with the use of Classera, and their satisfaction levels, perceived benefits, and perceived challenges in using Classera. The findings from this study have implications for the further implementation and adoption of Classera in the educational system in Saudi Arabia.

Following the 2013 curriculum, the mathematics learning process requires critical and creative skills that can help students solve a problem on math problems. Students who maximize critical thinking can conclude the information obtained, know how to use the information in math story problems, and find sources of supporting communication in solving a problem. In addition, students must have creative thinking skills that find new ideas or ideas from math story problems. This study discussess the importance of critical and creative thinking skills in elementary school students in solving math story problems. The method used in this research is the library research method with a qualitative approach. Critical thinking skills are an active process that continuously and thoroughly contains the contents of one's thoughts about something in-depth to decide what to believe or do. At the same time, creative thinking skills are the process of bringing up or bringing up a new idea based on a combination of previous experience. New ideas emerge from old ideas combined in new ways. The learning model that supports students in solving story problems is Problem Solving.

Abstract:Higher-order thinking skills are the abilities needed in preparing students to face global challenges in the 21st century. This research aims to describe the profile of elementary school teacher knowledge about higher-order thinking skills in mathematics learning. The research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The subjects in this research consisted of 3 elementary school teachers in Palu. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and interviews. The results indicate that not all teachers can interpret higher-order thinking skills well. The teacher's knowledge about the implementation of mathematics learning which is oriented higher-order thinking skills is also still low.Abstrak:Higher order thinking skill merupakan kemampuan yang dibutuhkan dalam mempersiapkan peserta didik untuk menghadapi tantangan global. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan profil pengetahuan guru SD tentang higher order thinking skill dalam pembelajaran matematika.
