And Mathematics

The importance of teachers' understanding of basic arithmetical and mathematical concepts has been studied by numerous research workers [2, 3, 4, 6].* The understanding teachers have of basic mathematical concepts is closely associated with the ability to present these concepts to children [10]. Considerable research has been done to show the amount of understanding of basic mathematical concepts possessed by prospective elementary school teachers. Most of these studies indicate pronounced inadequacies in teacher understanding, while a few [2, 3, 8] show that some aspects of arithmetic and mathematics are understood quite well. Few studies deal with methods and procedures for overcoming teachers' lack of understanding of these basic concepts.

Areas Of Concern

One of the major areas of concern of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM) of the Mathematical Association of America is the college mathematics training of prospective teachers. In order to meet the task of preparing recommendations for improving the undergraduate program in this area, CUPM established its Panel on Teacher Training.

Mathematics Program

The use of a number line as a model for the four fundamental operations of mathematics has become a fairly common and effective teaching strategy. The number line has been the means to guided discovery for many pupils in the elementary school mathematics program. However, the model of subtraction of whole numbers on the number line that authors and editors of textbooks for teachers and pupils have commonly used has severe limitations. The single exception to this observation is the thirtieth yearbook of the NCTM, More Topics in Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers (1969), but the approach used there has not caught fire. Perhaps we need to rekindle the fire.

Students need teachers with a deep understanding of mathematical concepts to improve their mathematical knowledge and achievement. The observation results of several elementary school teachers showed that they still have a lack of understanding of the geometry concepts. This research is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach that aims to describe the performance of elementary school teachers in understanding the concepts of triangles and squares. The participants in this study were elementary school teachers across Soe City District. A description test deals with the geometry concept of two-dimensional shapes that were implemented to determine the most appropriate teachers to participate in the study. Thirty-three teachers were then selected based on this preliminary test results. In-depth interviews were also conducted with the participants. The data analysis showed that the participants had a lack of understanding of the concept of two-dimensional shapes and necessary arithmetic skills. Moreover, the data suggested that the participants held various perceptions regarding their understanding of certain concepts based on their experience in teaching the mathematical concept. Based on these results, some programs are recommended to improve professionalism and pedagogical competencies, such as a refresher training program for basic mathematical material and training in teaching aids used. These programs are expected to help prepare elementary school teachers in teaching mathematics.

Civic Science

This article aims to determine the adaptation of prospective elementary school teachers' scientific reasoning from a civic science perspective through seminar courses on elementary schools' educational problems. The issue of distance learning during the Corona Virus Disease (Covid) 19 pandemic in Indonesia has led to various highlights and analyzes. The learning scheme's quality and learning scheme are among the most popular questions in this learning scheme. This research uses a case study with a qualitative approach with data collection using interviews, observation, documentation, and literature studies. The results showed that the adaptation of the scientific reasoning of prospective elementary school teachers in a civic science perspective through the Seminar on Educational Problems in Primary Schools has several characteristics,  that is: 1) educational problems in primary schools captured by dominant students in technological literacy, 2) study of educational problems in schools fundamental relates to the realization of smart and good citizens that reflected in attitudes and behavior in the Covid-19 pandemic situation, and 3) there is character building in the adaptation of scientific reasoning in the civic science perspective. Therefore, the research expects to have implications in developing civic education knowledge, especially in elementary school, which aims to strengthen the study of civic education.

The City

The achievement of Mathematics contestants from the City of Makassar is very concerning. In March 2018 elementary school mathematics competition was held. Of the 186 participants from Makassar, there were only 56 students who got scores above zero. Only about 30%. Other students get zero or less than zero (negative). There was a decrease in interest and achievement in Mathematics in elementary school students in Makassar. The solution offered was training for Mathematics Elementary School teachers by emphasizing learning method with playing. This is intended so that children have enjoyed Mathematics from the beginning so that in the future the interest in learning Mathematics will be even greater.

Exploratory Programs

Appropriate training for elementary school teachers who provide instruction in mathematics has been a concern of long standing. This concern has been in creased in recent years as various exploratory programs have begun to exert an influence on the content of the elementary school mathematics curriculum.
