Problematic Situations

In this contribution to the growing literature on conceptual metaphor as a fruitful heuristic for qualitative analysis, the authors re-analyzed transcripts of college student discussions of problematic situations involving cultural diversity and interpersonal conflict. The authors show how they identified metaphorical linguistic expressions and from them derived three conceptual metaphors (life is a journey, the problem is a barrier/maze, and the self is divided) that in turn formed patterns or constellations of meanings in students’ problem-solving strategies. As an interpretive tool, conceptual metaphors link certain isolated individual metaphors to these larger patterns of meaning, including ideological frameworks readily available in US culture.

Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa kelas XI SMA dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal pemecahan masalah matematika pada pokok bahasan lingkaran. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 30 siswa di salah satu kelas XI IPA di SMA Negeri 5 Kota Bengkulu yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Setelah siswa mengerjakan 5 soal pemecahan masalah tentang lingkaran selama 60 menit secara tertulis, jawaban siswa kemudian dianalisis dan diidentifikasi untuk menemukan bagaimana siswa menyelesaikan soal, banyak strategi pemecahan masalah yang digunakan siswa, serta banyak solusi atau jawaban yang didapat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa siswa belum mampu menyelesaikan masalah dengan tepat disebabkan kesalahan dalam langkah mensintesis dan menganalisis soal. Strategi yang mayoritas digunakan oleh para siswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah adalah drawing a picture (menggambar). Siswa juga menggunakan strategi guessing and checking (menebak dan menguji). Berkaitan dengan banyaknya jawaban siswa, siswa menjawab soal tertutup dengan jawaban yang sama, sedangkan untuk soal terbuka ditemukan tiga jawaban berbeda.Students’ problem-solving ability in solving closed and open-ended problems on the subject of the circleAbstractThis research was descriptive qualitative research that aimed to describe the problem-solving abilities of eleventh-grade students in solving mathematical problems on the subject of the circle. The subjects in this study were 30 students in one of the XI Science classes in SMA Negeri 5 Bengkulu City, Indonesia selected by purposive sampling. After students worked on five problem-solving questions about the circle for 60 minutes in writing-form, the students’ answers were then analyzed and identified to find how students solve the problems, how many problem-solving strategies used by students as well as many solutions or answers obtained. The research finding showed that some students have been not able to solve the problems correctly due to their misconceptions when doing the steps of synthesizing and analyzing. The majority of the strategies used by students in solving problems were drawing a picture. Students also used the guessing and checking strategy. Regarding the number of students' answers found, students answered closed questions with the same answers while for open-ended questions, it was found that students were able to find three different answers.

A group of students enrolled in the 12th year of education was asked to answer a direct application questionnaire containing the following measures: Intimate Friendship Scale (IFS) (Sharabany, 1994), The Self-Perception Profile for College Students (Neemann & Harter, 1986) adapted for the Portuguese population (Ribeiro, 1994) and Family Social Notation ‐ Adapted Graffar, adapted from the original (Graffar, 1956). The values of Intimate Friendship were found to be higher for girls and the values of Perception of Physical Appearance were higher for boys.

Virtual Interactive

With the integrated use of quantitative and qualitative research methods, this chapter describes the learners’ problem-solving processes and the strategies they used under a pedagogy called Virtual Interactive Student-Oriented Learning Environment (abbreviated as VISOLE). By recording learners’ operations in the game, and collecting their game logs (BLOG), summary reports, and interview records, also based on the observations done by the researchers, it is found that the problem solving strategies that learners used in VISOLE primarily included: (1) trial and error, (2) random, (3) purpose-oriented, (4) starting from simple, (5) adventure, (6) comprehensive, (7) focused, (8) index, (9) BUG, (10) entertainment strategies, etc.

Solving Strategy

This study aims to: (1) describe students' problem solving strategies to solve trigonometric problems using a clinometer media and (2) comparison of the strategies used against student analysis in processing the data obtained. This type of research uses qualitative research. The population of this study was all students of class X consisting of 7 classes, with 39 research subjects. Data collection is done by direct observation of the results of student work. The results showed that (1) students' problem solving strategies to solve trigonometric problems using a clinometer media were divided into two strategies: students pay attention to angular size rather than distance and students pay attention to distance than angular size to determine the height of an object and (2) the strategy used students paying attention to angles rather than distance show more accurate results when students use angles than students pay attention to distances rather than angles to determine the height of an object.

Meta Analyses

Two meta-analyses found that young Americans increasingly believe their lives are controlled by outside forces rather than their own efforts. Locus of control scores became substantially more external (about .80 standard deviations) in college student and child samples between 1960 and 2002. The average college student in 2002 had a more external locus of control than 80% of college students in the early 1960s. Birth cohort/time period explains 14% of the variance in locus of control scores. The data included 97 samples of college students (n = 18,310) and 41 samples of children ages 9 to 14 (n = 6,554) gathered from dissertation research. The results are consistent with an alienation model positing increases in cynicism, individualism, and the self-serving bias. The implications are almost uniformly negative, as externality is correlated with poor school achievement, helplessness, ineffective stress management, decreased self-control, and depression.

Problem Solving Strategies

The more one realizes about himself, the more he appreciates about the other. The need of having a harmonious mind and life with the nature through an education powered by peace and non-violence is stressed in this chapter. An attempt is made to advocate ways to prepare children in accomplishing peace through instructional principles implied by Gandhian philosophy. Classroom practices proposed herein embrace peace education strategies to develop tolerance in children for the survival in the global society. It also deals with the classroom practices that can be designed to find the “self” in a child to make him self-sufficient, natural and complete. A student-centered approach, which comprises strategies like collaborative learning, cooperative learning, discussion forums, and problem solving strategies not only strengthens the human relationships but also creates a sense of unity in diversity.
