Collaborative mathematics learning management: Critical thinking skills in problem solving

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">This qualitative-ethnography study described the critical thinking skill based on indicators of interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference in solving mathematical problem. The subjects of the study were the headmaster, math teachers, and ninth grade students of a public junior high school in academic year of 2020/2021. The data were collected through observation, field notes, interview, and documentation. Triangulation of sources and technique were used to ensure the data validation in this research. Data analysis technique was done inductively with continuous process along with the data collection. The results of the study showed high initial skills in mathematics become the basic need for the students in developing critical thinking skills based on indicators of interpretation. The improvement of critical thinking based on the indicator of interpretation is accustomed through problem-based learning. Critical thinking process based on the indicator of analysis is cultivated through collaborative learning. In this indicator, the students need special attention from the teacher. There is always the possibility for every student from each level to face difficulties in solving some problems without collaborating with others. The teachers can make more effort to optimize the students’ basic holistic skills in line with their knowledge and experience in order to improve students’ critical thinking skills based on the indicator of inference. In this indicator, teachers should guide the students to improve their critical thinking skills.</span>

Planning for Cultivation Numerical Literacy in Mathematics Learning for Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) in Elementary Schools

“…HOTS questions do more than improve thinking skills through complex questions HOTS requires students to think critically and see how they can solve existing problems. High early math ability is essential for students to develop critical thinking skills based on interpretation indicators (Sutama et al, 2022). In fact, students rarely think critically and have inconsistent beliefs about mathematics and the learning process (Sachdeva & Eggen, 2021).…”

Conceptual Framework of Applied Holistic Education in Physical Education and Sports: A Systematic Review of Empirical Evidence

“…Based on studies included in this systematic literature review, each has attributes that cannot be neglected if the goal is achieve objectives in every learning domain. For example, in the cognitive domain, it is necessary to ensure that learning activities must contain elements of problem solving and combine physical activity and sports with lessons from other subjects such as math and language (Setyaningsih et al, 2019;Sutama et al, 2022;Wawrzyniak et al, 2022). Through such cognitiveenriched, Physical education can not only benefit health and physical fitness but also for other curricular subject such as math, language, and writing.…”

The Role of Scientific Literacy Instruments For Measuring Science Problem Solving Ability

“…Every student of every level always can encounter difficulties in solving some problems without collaborating with others. In this case, the teacher must guide students to improve their critical thinking skills (Sutama et al, 2022).…”
