The emphasis of mathematics learning, especially students' communication skills, needs to be considered from gender equality in solving mathematical problems. This study aims to describe: 1) the potential mathematical communication skills of students based on gender; 2) gender equality in communicating mathematical problem solving; and 3) the suitability of the form of the model or the applied form to develop students' mathematical communication skills based on gender at school. This research is a descriptive qualitative research conducted on all junior high school students in Langsa with a purposive sampling technique of 283 students. The data were collected through mathematical communication skills and questionnaire tests which were analyzed descriptively using the concept of Miles and Huberman. The results showed that: 1) mathematical communication skills of female students were better than male students in solving mathematical problems; 2) mathematical communication skills of male students are better in suburban schools and female students are better in downtown schools; and 3) learning implementation plans are still limited in emphasizing mathematical communication skills and learning tends to be cooperative and individual. It is recommended that learning plans refer to developing mathematical communication skills that pay attention to students' gender equality in order to optimize mathematical problem solving.

Although many studies investigate mathematical literacy, there is no consensus on the meaning of the term. The aim of this study is to investigate the concept of mathematical literacy of future teachers. The data are collected by semi-structured interview with thirteen Teacher Education Faculty students. The concept of mathematical literacy can be placed in four categories: 1) the knowledge and ability to communicate in mathematical language; 2) the conceptual understanding of concepts, contents and procedures; 3) the application of mathematics in everyday life; 4) the use of mathematical-logical thinking and problem solving. All interviewed students highlighted the students’ ability to formulate, represent and solve mathematical problems as well as the precise and correct use of symbolical mathematical language as a very important competence for mathematical literacy, while almost half of the interviewed excluded the students’ ability to see mathematics as a useful subject as an important competence. The teachers’ beliefs and knowledge significantly impact students’ development of mathematical literacy. Hence it is important to provide the conditions in which the teachers will be able to understand the concept and develop a richer conception of mathematical literacy.

Abstrak — Komunikasi matematis merupakan cara penyampaian ide, strategi, maupun solusi masalah matematika secara tertulis maupun lisan. Gaya kognitif yang berbeda memungkinkan terjadinya perbedaan komunikasi dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematika baik secara lisan maupun tulisan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa dengan gaya kognitif reflektif dan impulsif dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematika. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitiannya yaitu satu siswa bergaya kognitif reflektif (SR) dan satu siswa bergaya kognitif impulsif (SI). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan komunikasi matematis tulis siswa yang bergaya kognitif reflektif dapat dikatakan tidak akurat, tidak lengkap, dan lancar pada tahap memahami masalah. Kemampuan komunikasi lisan siswa yang bergaya kognitif reflektif dapat dikatakan akurat, lengkap, dan lancar disetiap tahap penyelesaian masalah. Kemampuan komunikasi matematis tulis siswa yang bergaya kognitif impulsif dapat dikatakan tidak akurat, tidak lengkap dan lancar pada tahap memahami masalah. Selain itu, di tahap memeriksa kembali dapat dikatakan tidak akurat, tidak lengkap, dan tidak lancar. Kemampuan komunikasi matematis lisan siswa bergaya kognitif impulsif dapat dikatakan tidak akurat, tidak lengkap dan tidak lancar di tahap memeriksa kembali.Kata Kunci: Komunikasi Matematis, Gaya Kognitif Reflektif, Gaya Kognitif Impulsif  Abstract — Mathematical communication is a way to convey ideas of problem solving, strategies and mathematical solutions both in writing and verbally. The different cognitive styles allowing communication differences in solving mathematical problems both verbally and in writing. This study aims to describe the mathematical communication skills of students with reflective and impulsive cognitive styles in solving mathematical problems. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The research subjects were one student with reflective cognitive style (SR) and one student with impulsive cognitive style (SI). The results of this study indicate that students' written mathematical communication skills with reflective cognitive style can be said to be inaccurate, incomplete, and fluent at the step of understanding the problem. The verbal communication skills of students who are reflective cognitive style can be said to be accurate, complete, and fluent at every step of problem solving. The students' written mathematical communication skills with impulsive cognitive style can be said to be inaccurate, incomplete and fluent at the stage of understanding the problem. In addition, the step of looking back can be said to be inaccurate, incomplete, and influent. The verbal mathematical communication skills of students with impulsive cognitive style can be said to be inaccurate, incomplete and influent at the step of looking back.Keywords: Mathematical Communication, Reflective Cognitive Style, Impulsive Cognitive Style

The selection of the wrong approach will be able to make the effectiveness of the learning decrease, so the need for attention to the approach used by the teacher in his learning. If the approach adopted is not appropriate, there will be a form of boredomfromstudents and tendto ignorethe lessons giventhatultimately the results obtained are less in line with expectations. The Concrete Representational Abstract we approach systematically and explicitly teaches students through three stages of learning: 1) concrete, 2) representation and 3) abstract. Teaching with CRA is a three-stage learning process in which students solve problems through the through concrete object manipulation followed by learning through pictorial representation of concrete object manipulations, ending with solving mathematical problems through abstract notation. Problem-solving approach, which is one of the learning approaches that can be applied in the learning process of mathematics. Many authors have attempted to explain what is the problem- solving approach for teaching mathematics. AbilityofmathematicalrepresentationofstudentswhogetlearningwithCRAapproach betterthanstudentswhogetlearningconventionalapproachandtoknowtheabilityof mathematical representation of students who obtained learning with problem -solving approach better than students who obtained learning of conventional approach can be shown from the calculation of post-ANOVA test with Scheffe ’method and t-test.

Reading mathematical texts is closely related to the effort of the reader to understand its content; therefore, it is reasonable to consider such reading as a problem-solving activity. In this paper, the Principle of Mathematical Induction was given to secondary education students, and their effort to comprehend the text was examined in order to identify whether significant elements of problem solving are involved. The findings give evidence that while negotiating the content of the text, the students went through Polya’s four phases of problem solving. Moreover, this approach of reading the Principle of Mathematical Induction in the sense of a problem that must be solved seems a promising idea for the conceptual understanding of the notion of mathematical induction.

The authors in this article first identify the extent to which research articles published in three American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journals included participants, age birth to 18 years, from international backgrounds (i.e., residence outside of the United States), and go on to describe associated publication patterns over the past 12 years. These patterns then provide a context for examining variation in the conceptualization of ethnicity on an international scale. Further, the authors examine terminology and categories used by 11 countries where research participants resided. Each country uses a unique classification system. Thus, it can be expected that descriptions of the ethnic characteristics of international participants involved in research published in ASHA journal articles will widely vary.

AbstractResearch on mathematical problem solving has a long tradition: retracing its fascinating story sheds light on its intricacies and, therefore, on its needs. When we analyze this impressive literature, a critical issue emerges clearly, namely, the presence of words and expressions having many and sometimes opposite meanings. Significant examples are the terms ‘realistic’ and ‘modeling’ associated with word problems in school. Understanding how these terms are used is important in research, because this issue relates to the design of several studies and to the interpretation of a large number of phenomena, such as the well-known phenomenon of students’ suspension of sense making when they solve mathematical problems. In order to deepen our understanding of this phenomenon, we describe a large empirical and qualitative study focused on the effects of variations in the presentation (text, picture, format) of word problems on students’ approaches to these problems. The results of our study show that the phenomenon of suspension of sense making is more precisely a phenomenon of activation of alternative kinds of sense making: the different kinds of active sense making appear to be strongly affected by the presentation of the word problem.
