Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi Pengembangan Keprofesian Berkelanjutan (PKB) dalam kaitannya dengan kompetensi dan praktik pembelajaran yang dilakukan guru mate­matika SMA di Kabupaten Kulon Progo. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif meng­gunakan metode campuran, dengan desain penelitian convergent parallel design. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh guru SMA peserta Ujian Kompetensi Guru (UKG) matematika tahun 2015 di Kabupaten Kulon Progo yang berjumlah 33 guru. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digu­nakan adalah tes, angket, observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan untuk data kuantitatif yaitu deskriptif dan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Analisis data kualitatif dianalisis melalui pengkategorian, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan PKB terhadap kompetensi guru matematika SMA di Kabupaten Kulon Progo dengan nilai prediksi sebesar 0,360 (t = 2,51); dan (2) terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan PKB terhadap praktik pembelajaran guru matematika SMA di Kabupaten Kulon Progo dengan nilai prediksi sebesar 0,402 (t = 2,25). Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in relation to the competence and learning practices of high school mathematics teachersAbstractThis study aimed to explore Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in relation to the com­petence and teaching practice conducted by senior high school mathematics teachers in Kulon Progo Regency. This study was descriptive research using a mixed-method with convergent parallel design. The research subject was all senior high school mathematics teachers in Kulon Progo Regency who participated in the Teacher Competency Test (or UKG) in 2015, and the subject applied was 33 teachers. The data collection was conducted through a test, question­naire, documentation, observation, and interview. The data analysis used was descriptive and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Qualitative data was analyzed through data categorization, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study showed that: (1) there was a significant influence CPD toward competence of senior high school mathematics teachers in Kulon Progo Regency with prediction value 0.360 (t = 2.51); and (2) there was a significant influence CPD toward teaching practice of senior high school mathematics teachers in Kulon Progo Regency with prediction value 0.402 (t = 2.25).

The program which is now being planned for this summer meeting of N.C.T.M. in Los Angeles will include general sessions addressed by nationally known speakers, a banquet, a luncheon, and many sectional meetings. These meetings should be of interest to teachers of elementary arithmetic, and junior and senior high school mathematics, as well as to teachers of junior and senior college mathematics. Special sections will also deal with aspects of teacher education in mathematics.

In arithmetic through the eighth grade and in first year algebra, is not the thorough understanding of fundamental principles of first importance? That this need of first importance has not been generally taken care of, is evidenced in many ways: (1) Such reports as that given by Admiral Nimitz, pointing out the weakness of our boys in junior and senior high school mathematics. (2) J. Kadushin's statements about the inability of men in the factories to handle simplest work in fractions, and their fear of taking any course in mathematics. (3) Constant complaint from teachers of physics, chemistry and algebra theory as to ignorance of the formula: what it is, what can and cannot be done to it. (4) The experience of much tutoring going on in universities, showing that great numbers have trouble with college mathematics because they did never really understand their work in arithmetic and algebra.

In the February 1977 issue of the Mathematics Teacher, Fred Blaisdell and Art Indelicato coauthored an article entitled “Finding Chord Factors of Geodesic Domes.” Their approach involved threedimensional coordinate geometry and vector analysis, and the opinion was expressed that “the mathematics of geodesic domes is well within the capability of most senior high school mathematics analysis classes.”

The study investigated senior high school mathematics teachers’ perception and practices of classroom assessment since assessment is considered a critical tool for assessing the achievement of learning objectives in particular and educational goals in general. The study adopted a mixed-methods design. Sixty-two mathematics teachers were sampled from the selected schools to participate in the study. The instrument used in the data collection was a questionnaire. The internal consistency of the instrument designed had a calculated Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of 0.74. The quantitative data gathered were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results from the study revealed that mathematics teachers had a positive perception about classroom assessment as most of them indicated that assessment is a tool to inform teaching and learning. There were, however, few teachers who still had a negative perception about assessment. Their reasons being that assessment had always been a tool for assigning grades and also used to promote students, hence had little benefit to teaching and learning process. The study also showed that the mathematics teachers’ practices of classroom assessment did not match up to the views they held about classroom assessment. Retraining of teachers through seminars and workshops were therefore recommended.

Articulation while only a borrowed and a figurative word still implies the joining of things more or less distinct though as closely “articulated” as the arm and the body in human anatomy.

We have been hearing a great deal lately about mathematics in the senior high school differentiated according to needs. What are these needs of senior high school pupils? How can they he determined?
