The method applied in this research was a descriptive quantitative method that employed the syntax of mathematical operation to investigate the properties of data collection (Walliman, 2005). The instrument was a list of 24 numbers of groups of Voice Consonants and Unvoiced Consonants of Basic English Pronunciation taken from “Improve Your English Pronunciation and Learn over 500 Commonly Mispronounced Words”, meanwhile, 26 students were chosen from the freshmen students of English Study Program (ESP) to be the subject of this present study. The result showed that the students’ ability in pronouncing the Basic English words was fair. Particularly, the students mostly had the ‘Enough’ level of ability at the four elements of supra-segmental as such: stress, intonation, voice quality and gesture. Specifically, at this ‘Enough level’, there were 16 students (61.5%) of ‘Stress’ element, 17 students (65.3%) of ‘Intonation’ element, 13 students (50.0%) of ‘Voice Quality’ and ‘Gestures’ as part of Segmental element was 16 students (61.5%). Meanwhile, at the ‘Rhythm’ element, most students (53.8% = 14 students) showed the ‘Less’ ability in this element and only 12 (46.1%) categorized at the level of ‘Enough’’. Otherwise, there were no students in the ‘Bad’ level category. However, few students still encountered difficulties in Segmental element (Voice Quality) and Supra-segmental parts such as words’ stressing, intonation, rhythm, and gestures respectively.

This research was intended to know the extent of contextual approaches (Contextual Teaching and Learning) able to overcome practical problems in compliance with the students’ ability to construct a concept/meaning from what they learned. The scope of this inquiry included the implementation of contextual approaches to the subject of Introduction to Economic Science in Economic Cooperative Education Study Program of Business Education Department of Faculty of Social Science of Yogyakarta State University. This was a participatory action research. The action research was implemented in the academic years of 2003/2004 for the subject of Introduction to Economic Science. This research was conducted in several steps as follows: Planning, Action Implementation, Control and Evaluation, and Analysis and Reflection. The results show that: (1) in the first cycles, the ways of answering questions, answers the students present are not qualified, the frequency of expressing opinions tends to be minimum, and the interaction among students are low. Due to lack of time in accordance with the grouping and student classification spending too much time, 2 CTL methods can be used to improve: the students’ participation in discussing the results of the discussion conducted, the students’ way in revealing describing oral description review, the students’ capability in constructing concept/meaning. In applying CTL, it is found some weaknesses as follows: the frequent use of CTL method makes the students saturated, the use of CTL method requires more cost, it is good for creating media or doing observation, for the students with high level of learning motivation it is exciting for they regard that they have chance to deliver more opinions, and those with low level of learning motivation it makes them passive and talking to themselves (not interested).

Creative Mathematical Reasoning

Reasoning that is constructed from remembering is imitative reasoning, while the opposite is creative reasoning. This study aims to explore creative mathematical reasoning in solving geometric problems. Mathematical creative reasoning is reasoning that contains elements of novelty, plausibility, and mathematical foundation. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, which is explorative. The research subjects were the first-semester student in the mathematics education study program with 32 students. The results showed that from 32 students, there was only one student identified as having creative mathematical reasoning in solving geometry problems. Creative mathematical reasoning can be identified when the subject is able to reason algorithmically but is aware of problems so they cannot be resolved algorithmically so that they must form new reasoning, which consists of novelty, plausibility, and mathematical foundation. Creative mathematical reasoning arises after students make an algorithmic reasoning process, but find no solution. Novelty is the weakest indicator of creative mathematical reasoning, so it requires scaffolding to bring it up.
