“…The structural model aims to examine the relationship between the factors that underlie it, or what constitutes a structural arrangement between latent variables into the measurement model and other construct variables based on the theory used. Parameters that represent regression equations for exogenous latent variables are marked by using the symbol (gamma), while for regression equations for endogenous latent variables are marked using the symbol (beta) (Otoo et al, 2018).…”

Students' learning math difficulties are influenced by various factors, both internal factors (themselves) and external factors (from outside the students themselves). One of the external factors that can affect student achievement is the campus facilities and infrastructure where they study. This paper aims to estimate structural equation models, which can represent the relationship between latent variables, and the relationship between latent and indicator variables. Besides, it is also to determine which construct has the most influence on the achievement of four indicators, which include: Campus Environment (KPS), Family Environment (LK), Community Environment (LM), and Seating (TD) towards Self (DS). The research data was obtained through a survey using a questionnaire to Universitas Padjadjaran students in the Mathematics Study Program. Data were measured using a Likert scale and using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of the data analysis show that the parameter estimators of the four indicators are 0.29, 0.34, 0.14, and 0.12 respectively, with the R-squared coefficient of determination of 0.90. So that SEM is an analysis that can provide information that is used to support the learning process policymaking.

“…Scientific reasoning and mathematical communication skills have a very close relationship. 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].…”

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.

“…Study [48] revealed that the students' interest is one of the contributing factors in successful academic performance while [49] stated that interest in mathematics learning could be regarded as a predictor of mathematics achievement. On the other hand, [50] published their analysis showing students' confidence directly influences students' interest in the learning of mathematics, whilst mathematics anxiety and students' knowledge of the usefulness of mathematics also impact students' confidence and motivation. Previously, [51] also found that mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety significantly affect mathematics performance in Malaysia and Singapore.…”

Mathematics is the engine, vehicle, driver, and language of today’s initiatives, innovations, and human endeavors. In this mathematical-driven world, the ability to perform mathematical tasks and logical reasoning is also essential in solving quotidian tasks and problems. Therefore, mathematical competency and problem-solving skills are kept as an integral component in almost every educational curriculum around the globe. However, there are numerous stumbling blocks along the way to successful teaching, conducive learning environment, and good student performances in almost all disciplines, but more prevalent and visible in mathematics. The major concerns of educators responsible for teaching mathematics and mathematics-related courses are to find effective and innovative ways to deliver mathematical content, to extend the concepts and theories beyond the classrooms, to integrate mathematics with important concepts such as gamification, data mining, learning analytics, deep learning, and effective tools such as mobile devices, learning management systems, and digital technology, and to maintain a good record of students’ performance. In online deliveries, these concerns are further escalated due to no or limited one-to-one interactions and lack of face time, to mention a few. This article investigates the efficacy and effectiveness of traditional and innovative pedagogical practices used in online mathematic courses at the University of the South Pacific (USP). It examines the interdependence of embedded activities and students’ achievement. The results indicate that these online mathematics courses were highly dominated by conventional approaches and were less interactive and engaging, resulting in lower success rates when compared to the courses from other disciplines. To recommend possible ways to enhance the quality of learning and teaching in online mathematics courses, selected online courses from the information system discipline were explored. The reasons for the high online presence in the course were investigated and activities that could lead to collaborative and active learning beyond the passive materials were data mined. The evidence drawn from the statistical analysis highlights the importance of including selected interactive and engaging activities in online learning space of mathematics courses to promote student engagement and help create a sense of community among geographically dispersed students. Overall, based on the observations and theoretical foundation from literature, it can be said that including regular and frequent active assessment strategies, such as weekly quizzes and discussion forums, could extend and promote interactive and engaging learning in online learning space.
