“…In Southeast Asia, beliefs studies that involve MRBQ are limited. We found Hidayaatullah & Csíkos / Mathematics Related Belief System and Word Problem-Solving 2 / 16 few mathematics-related beliefs research, for instance, in China by Wang et al (2019) and Malaysia by Tarmizi & Tarmizi (2010). In Indonesia, there has not been an empirical study conducted either on ICT-related beliefs within the structure of mathematics-related beliefs or on the connection between mathematics-related beliefs and mathematical performance.…”

The purpose of the present study is to provide empirical evidence on the adaptation of the mathematics-related beliefs questionnaire (MRBQ) supplemented by info-communication technology-related items. Besides, we also investigate the relationship between their beliefs about mathematics and their ability in problem-solving mathematics. 234 grade eight students from five schools in Java, Indonesia, participated in this study. The questionnaire has appropriate reliability. To examine the validity of the questionnaire, factor analysis was applied, and regression analysis was conducted to explore students' beliefs and their relation to their performance. Factor analysis revealed a good fit of the model; therefore, confirming the validity of MRBQ in the Indonesian context. Descriptive statistics showed students' tendency to follow the nonrealistic approach when doing word problems. Regression analysis indicated the significant role of beliefs in mathematics predicting students' performance on mathematical word problems.

“…The objective of the study was to analyze the beliefs of primary school teachers about problem-solving in the context of COVID-19, and their relationship with demographic variables such as gender, ethnicity, age, teaching experience, and type of school. In this research, teachers' beliefs could propagate the idea of better achievement and improve the teaching and learning of mathematics (Tarmizi and Tarmizi, 2010). Therefore, it was identified that the beliefs of primary education teachers about solving mathematical problems are generally high (M = 67.11; SD = 9.95), coinciding with the study by Yavuz and Erbay (2015) in which they say that primary school teachers have positive perceptions of problem-solving.…”

Esta investigación ha analizado las creencias sobre la resolución de problemas matemáticos. Se trata de una investigación cuantitativa basada en un diseño "Ex Post Facto" en el que se proporcionó una escala de dominio afectivo (creencias, actitudes y emociones) a 118 mujeres y hombres, profesores de primaria de la Costa Caribe nicaragüense. Los análisis sugieren que los docentes tienen creencias positivas que se manifiestan en factores como la confianza, la seguridad, la perseverancia, la satisfacción, la curiosidad, el gusto, la motivación y la utilidad para funcionar con éxito en la resolución de problemas matemáticos. Además, que las creencias sobre la resolución de problemas no difieren según la edad, el género, la etnia, los años de experiencia y el tipo de escuela (urbana y rural). Se concluye que es necesario seguir avanzando en los procesos de formación y capacitación de los docentes de educación primaria con un mayor énfasis en los procesos de resignificación de experiencias y prácticas matemáticas contextualizadas a las comunidades.

“…The influence of student's mathematical beliefs on metacognitive skills in solving … (Mega Suliani) 1483 students' metacognitive skills in solving mathematical problems is still very limited [25], [26], although it is important to be explored as it involves students' beliefs about solving mathematical problems to identify their metacognitive skills. For example, when a student is faced with a problem, there are two possible states: he/she is aware and believes in solving the problem, or he/she is aware but not sure if he/she can solve the problem.…”

The current research aimed to understand the effect of mathematical beliefs of middle school students on their metacognitive skills in solving mathematical problems. In examining the matter, the study utilized a mixed method. In the first step, a linear regression test was utilized to determine the effect of belief on students’ metacognitive skills in solving geometry problems. Furthermore, a qualitative approach was used to compare the metacognitive skills of high and low-belief students. This study involved 72 middle school students sitting in the 8th grade at Tarakan 1 State Junior High School. Based on the linear regression results, it is known that students’ beliefs positively influenced their metacognitive skills in solving geometric problems. Furthermore, it was found that when both selected subjects with high and low beliefs started solving the problems, they started by planning. Then, they monitored what they had done, but there were differences in evaluating the solutions. Additionally, students who believe strongly in problem solving will be more aware of what they are thinking and thus have an impact on improving their learning outcomes.
