Abstract
This paper exposes the role of research-based learning to enhance students’ research and academic writing skills in mathematics education. A learning trajectory of research in mathematics education using research-based learning designed and developed for pre-service mathematics teachers. In this study, the research methodology used is a design research to develop research-based solutions and validate theories about learning processes. The subjects are 35 pre-service mathematics teachers from higher education institution in Tangerang, Indonesia. The contribution of this investigation to mathematics education research field is produced a local instruction theory to enhance preservice teachers’ skills in doing research and writing academic paper, which yet developed in Indonesia. This theory provides an explanation of the steps that preservice teachers’ must go through using research-based learning. The enhanced research skill is focused on the trend of mathematics education research, and the improved academic writing skill is focused on the articles published in a journal.
Highlights
Numerous research has documented students’ difficulty in doing research and writing academic paper (Prahmana & Kusumah, 2016; Dowse & Howie, 2013; Arcavi, 2000; Singhal, 2004; Prahmana, Kusumah, & Darhim, 2016; Cryer, 2006)
The results of this study indicate that research-based learning plays a critical role in developing learning trajectory of research in mathematics education to assisting pre-service mathematics teachers to enhance their research and academic writing skills
The use of research-based learning in designing learning trajectory of research in mathematics education plays a crucial role as a trigger to enhancing math department preservice teachers’ research and academic writing skills. This result was shown by the final product of this study, which is ten students’ research and ten submitted articles in a journal with ISSN and is indexed by google scholar through Open Journal System (OJS)
Summary
Numerous research has documented students’ difficulty in doing research and writing academic paper (Prahmana & Kusumah, 2016; Dowse & Howie, 2013; Arcavi, 2000; Singhal, 2004; Prahmana, Kusumah, & Darhim, 2016; Cryer, 2006). Students are required to have academic writing skills to help them in finishing their academic paper (Dowse & Howie, 2013; Prahmana & Kusumah, 2016). Research is a systemic and objective activity to find the truth and solving or answering a problem (Siswono, 2010). A researcher should direct the activity in such a way so that it can answer or solve the research question
