“…Communication skills are an important aspect so that students have the skill to solve mathematical problems, especially mathematical solutions related to students' real life [7], [8]. The results of studies in several countries including Turkey prove that the scientific reasoning of students for grade 8 students is still very low [9]. Besides that, in the USA the same thing shows 523 that scientific reasoning of students is still low so that it disrupts the learning process of STEM [10].…”

Mathematics learning has always been a problem in the world of education in Indonesia especially in the Province of Maluku, which is a thousand island area. The geographical position of Maluku, which is an area of the archipelago, is quite extensive, affecting the quality of students in mathematics. One approach that is recommended to overcome mathematical problems of rural island-based students is realistic mathematics education (RME). The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of RME on mathematical reasoning and communication skills in a rural context. The research design used was quasi experiment. The sample size was 130 students from several junior high schools in Central Maluku Regency. The instrument developed was in the form of problem descriptions to measure students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills. The findings prove that RME has a significant influence on students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills. Thus, RME can be recommended in improving students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills in the island-based rural context.

“…Melalui geometri, peserta didik akan belajar berbagai bentuk, struktur, karakteristik dan hubungan antar objek geometri. Geometri melibatkan proses kognitif visualisasi dan penalaran yang merupakan keterampilan esensial dalam belajar matematika (Gunhan, 2014). Geometri dipelajari pada setiap jenjang pendidikan yang dibagi menjadi beberapa pokok bahasan.…”

Geometry is a mathematical science that studied points, lines, planes, spaces, and the relationships of them. One of the topic is geometric transformation. The Several research found that students hadn’t understood the concept of transformation, so that it needed a teaching material especially student’s worksheet. The research aimed to develop valid, practical and effective student’s worksheet with GeoGebra on the geometry transformation in junior high school. The research method was used R&D (Research and Development) using a modification of the 4-D model. The development model consists defined, designed and developed. The results of the research indicated that (1) this product was valid according to media experts and material experts, (2) it was practical, (3) effective to be used in mathematics learning, especially geometric transformation.

“…Comparative studies, both national and international, have reported below benchmark achievements among Ghanaian basic school students in mathematics (Anamuah- Mensah & Mereku, 2005;Anamuah-Mensah, Mereku, & Asabere-Ameyaw, 2008;Butakor, Ampadu, & Cole, 2017;Gunhan, 2014;Mullis, Martin, & Foy, 2008). Studies have shown that academic achievement has several determinant extending from socio-economic status (Barakzai & Fraser, 2005), learning disabilities (Seyed, Salmani, Nezhad, & Noruzi, 2017), students interest (Alfa & Karim, 2016), teaching methods (Asante & Mereku, 2012), school entry modalities (Cameson & Wilson, 2011), and to Gender (Cunningham, 2016).…”

The purpose of this Ex Post facto study was to investigate the difference in mathematics achievement between male and female learners offering Diploma in Basic Education (DBE) by distance at the Institute for Distance and e-Learning (IDeL), University of Education, Winneba (UEW). Three consecutive year cohort groups (i.e. 2015, 2016 and 2017) of DBE distance learners were purposively selected from all the forty distance education centers of IDeL-UEW. There were 6,468, 3,483 and 3,276 learners in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 year groups respectively. This gave a sample size of 13,227 distance learners for the study. The End-of-semester mathematics examinations grades of the learners in Math I and Math II were retrieved from the UEW-IDeL registry and analysed comparatively using Chi-Square tests. Generally, the results show a below average performance in mathematics for both genders. However, there were statistically significant differences in the achievement of Mathematics between male and female distance learners in each of the three years with the males attaining higher grades than their female counterparts. It is recommended that teacher education institutions engaged in distance programmes should pay special attention to the gender gap in mathematics achievement and adopt strategies to motivate them to pursue the subject.
