Building a Model for Observing the Educational Practice of Mathematics Teachers

This study relies on a theoretical perspective to provide a model that can be used to observe the educational practice of mathematics teachers. To this end, various existing observation instruments are studied, which, in the case of mathematics, aim to observe the teaching practice employed in the classroom, without considering the before and after of the implementation, which is what characterizes the professional task of teaching. Indicators that emerge from the teaching practice are proposed, together with the teacher’s knowledge and reflection constructs, based on three phases: for, in, and on the educational practice. As a result, understanding the educational practice of mathematics teachers would allow various educational stakeholders (teachers, administrators, instructors of teachers, and others) to focus their attention on what elements develop so as to improve how students are taught, and consequently learn, mathematics.

PELATIHAN DAN PENDAMPINGAN PEMBELAJARAN DARING BERBASIS MOODLE UNTUK GURU FISIKA SMA DI KABUPATEN MALANG SELAMA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

ABSTRAKDampak dari pendemi covid-19 memaksa setiap sekolah mewajibkan guru dan siswanya melakukan pembelajaran secara daring dari rumah. Hal tersebut membuat guru dan siswa dalam waktu yang singkat harus mempersiapkan seluruh vasilitas pendukung pembelajaran. Sedangkan di Kabupaten Malang, para guru fisika masih belum begitu akrab dengan pembelajaran daring, maka pendampingan dan pelatihan pembelajaran daring dengan memanfaatkan moodle sangat dibutuhkan. Kegiatan diawali dengan studi literatur dan lapangan, perencanaan, pemberian materi, demosntrasi dan praktek dan diakhiri dengan kegiatan evaluasi. Untuk mengetahui keberhasilan program, kami menyebarkan kueisioner (n = 13 item) kepada seluruh peserta tentang persepsi terhadap pembelajaran menggunakan moodle dan memantau perkembangan pemahaman guru melalui moodle yang telah dikembangkan. Guru fisika didampingi dan dilatih untuk membuat pembelajaran daring melalui moodle dan variasi model moodle yang sudah pernah diperoleh. Peserta pelatihan dan pendampingan yang diselenggarakan secara daring berjumlah 40 guru fisika di wilayah Kabupaten Malang yang meliputi 34 orang guru fisika SMA dan 6 orang guru fisika MA. Walaupun kehadiran guru tidak bersamaan masuk room meet, tetapi setiap guru selalu masuk setiap hari. Namun, yang aktif mengerjakan pembuatan moodle hanya 25 orang guru yaitu 24 orang guru SMA dan 1 orang guru MA. Peserta yang membuat moodle tersebut bervariasi ada yang hanya membuat Assignment untuk materi dinamika, sampai ada yang lengkap membuat assignment, quiz, dan file untuk materi mekanika, dinamika, usaha dan energi, serta impuls dan momentum. Berdasarkan respon peserta pada angket terkait pelatihan dan pendampingan penyusunan moodle didapatkan 75,19% peserta merespon baik pembelajaran dengan moodle. Kata kunci: pelatihan-pendampingan; moodle; pandemi covid-19; guru fisika.. ABSTRACTThe impact of covid-19 outbreaks forced every school to require teachers and students to do online learning from home. This makes teachers and students in a short time must prepare all the learning support facilities. While in Malang Regency, physics teachers are still not so good with online learning, so online learning assistance and training by utilizing moodle is needed. The programme have began with literature and field research, planning, materials provision, demonstrations, and practices, and concludes with evaluation. To assess the program's performance, we provided a questionnaire (n = 13 questions) to all participants regarding their perceptions of learning with Moodle and simplifying the teacher's knowledge through the produced Moodle. Physics teachers are accompanied and trained to make online learning through moodle and variations of moodle models that have been obtained. The trainees and mentoring held online amounted to 40 physics teachers in malang regency which included 34 high school physics teachers and 6 MA physics teachers. Although the presence of teachers does not coincide with entering the room meet, but every teacher always enters every day. However, who actively do the creation of moodle only 25 teachers, namely 24 high school teachers and 1 MA teacher. Participants who make the moodle vary there are only making Assignments for dynamic materials, until there are complete assignments, quis, and files for mechanical materials, dynamics, work and energy, as well as impulses and momentum. Based on the participants' responses to the questionnaire related to training and mentoring in the preparation of moodle, it was found that 75.19% of participants responded well to learning with moodle. Keywords: training- mentoring; moodle, pandemic covid-19; physics teacher.

MEMBINA HUBUNGAN YANG POSITIF ANTARA GURU DAN SISWA DI MASA PANDEMI DI PKBM X, BOGOR

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reduced direct interactions between teachers and students during learning hours. As a consequence, teachers struggle to gauge the student’s ability and cannot fully understand the learning situation at home for each student, especially adolescents. This was experienced by PKBM X who since the pandemic has had profound trouble to reach out to their students. PKBM X is a non-formal high school that upholds the values of equality and democracy, and teachers bear a role to understand the condition of each student and try to help whenever necessary. However, according to interviews, some teachers are unsure about how to establish a relationship with students, especially in this time of pandemic. There are also teachers who are too involved emotionally with the student’s problems, to a point where they feel emotionally burdened. Utilizing the problem tree analysis, it is concluded that the relationship between teachers and students isn’t optimal. To that end, a training was designed to inform participants about positive teacher -student relationship, especially during pandemic. With this knowledge, teachers realized the importance of positive teacher -student relationships and how to initiate positive interactions in times of pandemic. Not only that, teachers are also taught to manage their expectations about the teacher -student relationship, so that teachers continue to provide support without being personally affected if the student is not easily approached. After the training, teacher’s knowledge about the positive teacher-student increased, and teachers were able to develop action plans for their students.Pandemi COVID-19 membuat interaksi langsung di jam belajar mengajar antara guru dan siswa berkurang. Guru menjadi sulit mengetahui pemahaman dan keadaan siswa.. Hal ini dialami oleh PKBM X yang sejak masa pandemi merasa sulit untuk menjangkau siswa. Padahal, PKBM X adalah sekolah yang menjungjung tinggi nilai kesetaraan dan kekeluargaan, dan guru memiliki peran untuk mengetahui kondisi siswa dan berusaha membantu. Hanya saja, berdasarkan wawancara, sejumlah guru ragu bagaimana menjalin interaksi dengan siswa, terutama di masa pandemi ini. Ada juga guru yang malah terlalu terlarut dengan masalah siswa, sehingga merasa terbeban secara emosional. Dengan metode analisis pohon masalah, ditemukan bahwa hubungan guru dan siswa di PKBM X pada saat ini kurang optimal. Untuk itu, dirancanglah sebuah pelatihan seputar pengetahuan membina hubungan guru dan siswa yang positif, terutama di masa pandemi ini. Dengan pengetahuan ini, guru diharapkan dapat menyadari pentingnya hubungan guru dan siswa yang positif serta bagaimana memulai interaksi positif di masa pandemi. Tak hanya itu, guru juga diajak untuk mengelola ekspektasi tentang hubungan guru dan siswa yang positif, sehingga guru tetap memberikan bantuan terbaiknya tanpa terdampak secara personal jika kondisi siswa tidak mudah dijangkau atau didekati. Melalui pelatihan ini, pengetahuan guru tentang hubungan guru dan siswa meningkat, dan guru dapat menentukan rencana aksi yang dapat mereka lakukan untuk siswa di PKBM X.

Conhecimento Especializado do Professor de Matemática em Dissertações e Teses Brasileiras

Resumo O conhecimento do professor é fundamental para o ensino e para a aprendizagem dos estudantes e possui, em suas características, o fato de ser especializado. Tendo isso em vista, o presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar a utilização do modelo denominado Conhecimento especializado do Professor de Matemática (MTSK) em dissertações e teses brasileiras. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca no Catálogo de Dissertações e Teses da Coordenadoria de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) e o corpus foi composto por sete trabalhos. Os resultados permitiram evidenciar a utilização analítica do modelo para identificar e caracterizar conhecimentos de professores e futuros professores relacionados aos diferentes assuntos; a utilização do modelo para a realização de um trabalho de metassíntese; e também para a proposição de um modelo de conhecimento semelhante para a disciplina de Física. Ainda, destaca-se a predominância de sua utilização em contextos de formação continuada e no ensino a distância, e a ausência de trabalhos que investigam o MTSK na modalidade presencial da formação inicial. Com isso, considera-se que o estudo pode provocar questionamentos que orientem o desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas em Educação Matemática, indicando possibilidades do uso do modelo e a necessidade de valorização da profissionalização docente e da defesa de políticas públicas que reafirmem que o conhecimento do professor é especializado. Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática. Formação de Professores. Conhecimentos Profissionais Docentes. MTSK. AbstractTeacher’s knowledge is fundamental for the studentss’ teaching and learning and has in its characteristics the fact of being specialized. With this in view, this article aims to investigate the use of the Mathematics Teacher’s Specialized Knowledge (MTSK) model in Brazilian dissertations and theses. For this purpose, a search was made in the Dissertations and Thesis Catalogue of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the corpus comprised seven papers. The results highlighted the analytical use of the model to identify and characterize the teachers’ and future teachers’ knowledge related to different subjects; the use of the model for performing a meta-synthesis work; and also, for proposing a similar knowledge model for the Physics subject. Additionally, the predominance of its use is highlighted in contexts of continuous education and in distance education, and the absence of works that investigate MTKS in face-to-face modality of initial formation. Therefore, it is considered that the study may bring about questions that may guide the development of new research in Mathematics Education, indicating possibilities of using the model and the need to value teaching professionalization and the defense of public policies reaffirming that the teacher’s knowledge is specialized. Keywords: Mathematics Education. Teacher’s education. Teacher’s professional knowledge. MTSK.
