Resilience in Mathematics, Academic Resilience, or Mathematical Resilience?: An Overview

Abstract

Aim:To analyze the concept of resilience in mathematics subject based on three-term use; resilience in mathematics, academics resilience in mathematics, and mathematical resilience. Background: Resilience in academics is a contemporary focus, especially in mathematics subjects. A few terms and concepts of resilience in mathematics subjects introduced, and recently, the term mathematical resilience has received attention and become based on other resilience research in mathematics. Methods: The primary database is Scopus and Google scholar. The keyword use is (a) resilience, resiliences (b) mathematics (c) subjects (d) students, child, adult, to identify the relevant article. Two reviewers are involved in screening and filtering the article in the data extraction process. The screening process is based on the definition, attribute, model use, issue tackle, and approach to tackle the issue. Results: There are 82 articles found both in Scopus and google scholar and Scopus, and 29 were used in the final data analysis. The finding shows that resilience is considered as a personal attribute in a person, which results from the process of adapting to the environment or situation that is challenging. Every term uses a different kind of model to represent resilience but origin from the Bandura Self-Efficiency mechanism. Conclusion:This study provides the meaning of resilience for each term and the differences between them. Even though the world resilience almost similar purpose, the application in each field is different. Future studies should focus on the process and intervention to boost resilience.

Illuminating the landscape of mathematical resilience: A systematic review

“…In recent years, several reviews have been conducted on MR (Borazon & Chuang, 2023;Buckley & Sullivan, 2023;Johnston-Wilder et al, 2020;Ishak et al, 2020;Xenofontos & Mouroutsou, 2023). These studies, particularly empirical ones, have been conducted to investigate the notions of mathematical flexibility and academic resilience, with several approaches suggested to mitigate math anxiety and promote mathematical flexibility.…”

“…Terdapat empat aspek resiliensi matematis, yaitu mindset yang tumbuh, nilai personal terhadap matematika, mengetahui bahwa matematika membutuhkan perjuangan, dan mengetahui cara mencari dukungan saat pembelajaran matematika [7]. Penelitian Hutauruk dan Naibaho [5] menemukan Sembilan indikator yang membentuk resiliensi matematis mahasiswa pendidikan matematika, antara lain:…”

Mathematical Resilience, Habits of Mind, and Sociomathematical Norms by Senior High School Students in Learning Mathematics: A Structured Equation Model

“…The failure of the mathematics learning process experienced by students cannot be avoided, but the impact of this failure can be minimized or even eliminated. This is where the importance of mathematical resilience exists, to help students minimize the impact of student difficulties or failures in the learning process they experience (Ishak et al, 2020;Johnston-Wilder et al, 2018).Mathematical resilience is defined as a person's resilience to the difficulties encountered, being able to collaborate in collaboration, having language skills in communicating strengths and weaknesses, being resilient in dealing with difficulties related to learning problems (Johnston-Wilder et al, 2015), having a positive perspective on problems (Gürefe & Akçakin, 2018), easy to respond positively to the difficulties encountered (Kooken et al, 2013), the ability to adapt to the challenges encountered for the continuity of work in the future (Chirkina et al, 2020). Someone who has good mathematical resilience will respond to problems in positive ways rather than prioritizing the anxiety they experience (Gürefe & Akçakin, 2018;Kooken et al, 2013).…”
