Resumen:Para conocer el nivel de matemáticas escolares que tienen los futuros maestros de primaria, se ha aplicado a una muestra de 197 alumnos de 2.º, 3.º y 4.º del Grado de Maestro de Primaria dos pruebas estandarizadas de matemáticas escolares y un cuestionario de actitud hacia las matemáticas, resultando que en una obtienen una media de notable mientras que en la otra suspenden, comprobando que obtienen mejores resultados hombres que mujeres y que conforme van pasando de curso, mejoran. Tomada una submuestra de alumnos de 2.º y comparando los resultados a principio de curso y a los seis meses, se obtiene mejor puntuación la segunda vez. Los alumnos muestran mejor preparación en contenidos escolares numéricos que en medida y geometría, siendo positiva su actitud hacia las matemáticas y el ítem “Me provoca una gran satisfacción el llegar a resolver problemas de matemáticas” como el más valorado. Abstract:In order to know pre-service Primary School teachers' level of school mathematics, 197 students in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of the Primary School degree have been given two standardized tests in school Mathematics and one questionnaire about their attitude towards Mathematics. The results show that they got an average mark of B in one of the test but failed the other one. Men got better marks than women and the results are better in the higher courses. Focusing on the 2nd course students, we have compared results at the beginning of the course and 6 months later noting that their results improved. Students showed better knowledge about numerical contents than measurement and geometry. Their attitude towards Mathematics is positive and the item “Resolving Mathematical Problems produce me a great satisfaction” is the most valued.

Study Process

Abstract This article presents an account of a short research project in which two primary school teachers and the researcher collaborated to design drama work to help their students navigate challenging journeys. A short case study of practice over four to six months, it was documented and considered reflectively in order for the practice to be of use to other teachers. From safe New Zealand classrooms, the two teachers, one with Year 6 students, the other with Year 8, used drama to look at the tyranny of colonization and at resistance by conscientious objection. The research followed a case study process over four to six months, in two schools. The two teachers in this study let their students imagine colonization and resistance, and helped them see with new eyes. The students were challenged to question different perspectives on right and wrong and to navigate their own direction with critical thought and empathy. In the class that explored the rights of others in another age through literature heightened their awareness and responsibility for their own work, and in turn deepened their responses to ideas. In the other class, while colonization had been the original commendable theme, the students made their own connections to their own lives and community, and revealed a degree of perception and insight that holds promise for the way those students will participate and balance their responsibilities as citizens.

Modern Era

In the modern era of Cybernetics, future primary school teachers should use the algorithms they use in everyday life creatively in the educational process. When performing various exercises that are considered in elementary school math lessons, the future specialist must use explicit algorithms himself and correctly implement them when teaching students. In primary school mathematics, future teachers use implicit algorithms such as: an algorithm for solving various types of problems, algorithms for solving complex equations and expressions, an algorithm for constructing certain geometric shapes, an algorithm for using the Union and intersection of sets in solving problems, and an algorithm for performing tasks related to simple and geometric quantities. The article discusses the method of applying these algorithms and the ways of developing algorithmic literacy of future specialists.

Educational Conditions

The article formulates theoretical and methodological conditions for developing subjectivity in future primary school teachers in Ukraine. Therefore, it analyzes the Ukrainian experience of teacher training for primary school, as well as the aspects of the primary school teachers’ subjectivity in relevant scientific discourse. Besides, the article contains theoretical generalizations on the issue in question. Research methods include induction and generalization, prognostic methods in combination with modelling of principles of the educational process and sociological methods (used to identify students’ motivation towards teaching). The article proves that Ukraine as “a young democracy” must consider new conditions associated with significant socio-cultural, socio-economic and other changes in the society. It is so because they determine new requirements for the professional training of future primary school teachers. On the other hand, the analysis of relevant literary sources indicates insufficient attention to psychological, methodological, social and other aspects of teacher’s subjectivity. The authors of the article offer the updated definitions of key concepts on the development of teacher’s subjectivity. Also, they summarize theoretical and methodological principles of primary school teachers’ subjectivity in Ukraine and justify the new educational conditions for developing such subjectivity. The novelty of the research lies in its addressing the issue of developing subjectivity in future primary school teachers under the realities of Ukrainian education, which is still on the path of development.

Migration Experience

Research on the personality of primary school teachers and on their level of competence in teaching migrant children, including their own migration experience and their attitudes toward training for better education of foreign pupils, was conducted in 2016, using Big Five NEO-FFI and a questionnaire constructed by the authors (PPNUC). The subjects work in a big Polish city and their school is attended by Ukrainian and Vietnamese migrant children; half of the teachers (called NU) have the migrant children in their classes, the other half do not (NN). The results have shown, among others, that NU teachers have higher extraversion scores than NN and that younger teachers have a more positive attitude toward training programs for educating migrant children.

Mathematical Problems

Problem-solving is an important competency that must be owned by students. Problem-solving skills can facilitate students in understanding, connecting, and using mathematical concepts. Even so, mistakes in solving mathematical problems are still made by students. One reason is the lack of habituation of problem-solving in learning mathematics. Teachers who have good problem-solving skills will find it easier to teach and do an activity about problem-solving in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study is to describe the problem-solving ability of primary school teachers based on Polya’s method. This research method is descriptive-qualitative. The research subjects were primary mathematics teachers who taught in Mataram City, Indonesia. Each research subject solved three mathematical problems correctly and the problem-solving process will be analyzed based on Polya's method. The results obtained are teachers from city and suburb schools doing three indicators, namely identifying information on the problem, carrying out the procedure according to plan, and doing calculations correctly. Indicators of problem-solving that are not done are writing problem questions, making mathematical models, and writing final conclusions.Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Guru Sekolah Dasar Berdasarkan Metode Polya di Kota MataramAbstrakPemecahan masalah adalah salah satu kompetensi yang cukup penting. Kemampuan pemecahan masalah dapat memudahkan siswa dalam memahami, menghubungkan, dan menggunakan konsep-konsep matematika. Meskipun begitu, kesalahan dalam pemecahan masalah matematika masih dilakukan oleh siswa. Salah satu sebabnya adalah kurangnya pembiasan pemecahan masalah pada pembelajaran matematika di sekolah. Guru yang memiliki kemampuan pemecahan masalah yang baik, akan lebih mudah mengajarkan dan membiasakan pemecahan masalah pada pembelajaran matematika di sekolah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah pada guru SD di Kota Mataram. Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif-kualitatif. Subjek penelitian adalah guru matematika SD yang mengajar di pusat dan pinggiran Kota Mataram. Masing-masing subjek penelitian menyelesaikan tiga masalah matematika dengan benar dan akan dianalisis proses penyelesaian masalahnya berdasarkan metode Polya. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah guru dari sekolah kota dan pinggiran melakukan tiga indikator, yakni mengidentifikasi informasi pada masalah, melakukan prosedur penyelesaian sesuai rencana, dan melakukan perhitungan dengan benar. Indikator penyelesaian masalah yang tidak dilakukan adalah  menuliskan pertanyaan masalah, membuat model matematika, dan menuliskan kesimpulan akhir.
