“…This suggests a collective inclination towards limited engagement in critical thinking during mathematics study. In connection with these results, earlier investigations reported students demonstrating a fair level of CTD [31]. However, the CTD of pre-service teachers in other majors is slightly higher than the average [32], [33].…”

In the Philippines, improving pre-service math teachers’ critical thinking is receiving increasing attention, emphasizing the importance of tailoring instructional methods to students’ learning approaches for a more equitable environment and enhanced mathematics performance. Thus, this study aimed to determine if the critical thinking disposition subscales (reflective, attentiveness, open-mindedness, organization, perseverance, and intrinsic motivation) and learning approach (deep approach and surface approach) predict the mathematics performance of pre-service math teachers. This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design to randomly selected 125 pre-service math teachers from Central Luzon, Philippines. The survey instruments are administered through the student-educator negotiated CTDs scale, the revised two-factor study process questionnaire, and the 40- item validated test. Using descriptive analysis, findings revealed that preservice mathematics teachers have moderate levels of CTD, most of which use a deep approach and have average mathematics performance. Regression analysis showed that CTD and the deep approach were predictors. Therefore, pre-service mathematics teachers with a higher CTD and a deep approach are likelier to perform better in mathematics. These findings provide valuable insights into enhancing mathematics teacher education.

“…Based on the above problems, the researchers found a need for more research into the mathematical skill measurement model pertaining to its diagnostic assessment and development. The mathematical skill measurement model is a potential tool for developing mathematical capabilities instead of just a tool to report students' mathematical skills at a certain level (Alfayez, 2022). In this sense, this research is of relevance, given that it utilizes the concept of machine learning (Maestrales et al, 2021;Zhai et al, 2020) to score multidimensional assessments of students' skill levels in mathematics that will not only holistically assess students' mathematical learning, but will also inform mathematics teachers' practices to support them in further diagnosing and developing their students' mathematical skills.…”

This research aims to establish a mathematical skill measurement model to examine seventh-grade students’ mathematical skills in two aspects: their understanding of mathematical processes and the concept and structure. The researchers surveyed the mathematical skills of 521 seventh-grade students from the northeastern province of Thailand. Their test results were used to prototype a mathematical skill measurement model using machine learning. It involved a design-based approach that included four stages: a construct map, item design, a Wright Map, and outcome space, the so-called Multidimensional Random Coefficient Multinomial Logit Model, to verify its quality. The initial findings revealed the creation of a construct map consisting of five levels. The researchers determined the cut-off point in the form of the threshold level after considering the Wright Map criteria area for each aspect. Lastly, the measurement model was examined to provide adequate evidence of the internal structure’s validity and reliability. In conclusion, students’ skill levels can be measured accurately using multidimensional assessments, even though the levels of mathematical capabilities of the students varied from low to moderate to high. Therefore, it provides significant evidence of the mathematical skill measurement model to diagnose seventh-grade students’ learning. The significant implications contributed to educational measurement and evaluation are that machine learning algorithms can provide more accurate and consistent scoring of assessments compared to human graders. With accurate assessment using machine learning, teachers can gain deeper insights into individual students’ mathematical skills across multiple dimensions.

There have been a significant number of studies on mathematical proficiency; however, there are no classifications on research related to it. This study aims to gather and analyze previous studies on mathematical proficiency based on its publication year, research subject, methods, and results. This research is a survey-based descriptive study using the SLR method. The survey was conducted with secondary data in the form of research articles on mathematical proficiency at all educational levels, teachers and students were also included from 2010 to 2020. The steps included in this research were data collection, data analysis, and conclusion. Collected data were in the form of research articles published in international journals and proceedings indexed in Scopus and other trusted databases, such as Thomson, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Eric databases. The results show that the majority of research on mathematical proficiency was the ones performed in the year 2019 with percentages of 20% and 16%, and the most significant subject were junior high school students with 21%. Results on mathematical proficiency were based on the level of proficiency, positive and negative correlations between mathematical proficiency and other variables, efforts in improving mathematical proficiency, and the assessment of mathematical proficiency. The results suggest that this research could support further studies on mathematical proficiency. Keywords: mathematics proficiency, systematic literature review
