Exploration of the linear and nonlinear relationships between learning strategies and mathematics achievement in South Korea using the nominal response model : PISA 2012

Learning strategies have been recognized as important predictors of mathematical achievement. In recent studies, it has been found that Asian students use combined learning strategies, primarily including metacognitive strategies, rather than rote memorization. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is only one prior study including South Korea in investigations of the relationship between learning strategies and mathematics achievement in PISA 2012. In that study, students were classified into groups using specific learning strategies, and their mathematics achievements were compared. There are two research gaps: (1) previous studies insufficiently explored how students use learning strategies in the South Korean education system, and (2) there is little research applying the nominal response model (NRM) to explore the association between learning strategy use and mathematics achievement in PISA 2012. Thus, the present study explores to what extent the NRM fits the data compared to the generalized partial credit model (GPCM). We created a learning strategy score from the NRM for South Korean students in PISA 2012 (N = 3,310). Then, using correlation analysis and quadratic regression analysis, we identified linear and nonlinear relations between learning strategy scores from the NRM and mathematics achievement. The findings indicated that (1) NRM was a better fit for creating learning strategy scores than GPCM, (2) the average correlation coefficient between the learning strategy score and mathematics achievement was 0.18 (p < .05), and (3) for the curvilinear relationship between the learning strategy score and mathematics achievement, the standardized quadratic coefficient was − 0.090 (p < .001). Overall, the NRM represents an appropriate model for explaining the relationship between learning strategy and mathematical achievement. Additionally, high-performing South Korean students tend to primarily use metacognitive strategies with memorization. The negative quadratic coefficient captured the limited effect of the primary use of metacognitive strategies with memorization. The implications for the South Korean education system are discussed.

Effectiveness of 5E Instructional Model on Learning Achievement in Mathematics at Secondary Level.

This study investigated the effectiveness of the 5E instructional model on learning achievement in Mathematics compared with traditional teaching methods at the secondary level, using a non-equivalent control group design of a quasi-experimental method. The experimental group (n = 40) received instruction using the 5E instructional model, while the control group(n=40) was taught through traditional method. Pre-achievement and post achievement test were prepared and used to measure the learning achievement in Mathematics. The t-test was applied to compare the learning achievement of both the groups. The result indicates that the students of experimental group taught through 5E instructional model performed better than the control group. The results also indicate no significant difference in learning achievement between the groups during the pre-test. The findings suggest that the 5E instructional model enhances students' learning achievement and concept clarity in Mathematics. These results signify the effectiveness of incorporating the 5E instructional model to improve Mathematics education outcomes.

Evaluating the Results of PISA Assessment: Are There Gaps Between the Teaching of Mathematical Literacy at Schools and in PISA Assessment?

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The problems in education in the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) vary from country to country. The differences between "upper class" and "lower class" countries in PISA assessment results have led to a research gap. The purpose of this study was to (a) test students' mathematical literacy skills on the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) test and compare the results using the sum of means across OECD countries; (b) examine the relationship between students' mathematical competence, precision, and self-perception of mathematical literacy skills in the PISA test; and (c) analyze the gaps that exist between the implementation of mathematics instruction in school and the mathematical literacy as measured on the PISA test. This study was designed as a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design. The data collection methods included test procedures, questionnaires, and interviews. The result of this study showed that the overall mean score obtained was below the OECD average. In general, the respondents achieved only level 2 mathematics proficiency. A significant relationship was found between mathematical competence, precision, and self-perception in mathematical skills. On the other hand, there was a gap, namely the difference at the implementation level, where mathematical literacy measured by PISA differed from the measurement of mathematical learning achievement by teachers in school. The results showed that teaching that emphasizes only problem-solving procedures affects low mathematical competence and is not useful enough for students to deal with the PISA mathematics test.&lt;/p&gt;

The Influence of Student Initial Ability on Mathematics Learning Achievement Viewed from Critical Thinking Aspect

There are many factors why the quality of education in Indonesia is low, and one of them is the learning process. Many factors affect the quality of the learning process, one of which is the initial ability of mathematics. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether student initial ability has any influence on mathematical achievement from the point of view of critical thinking. This research is a survey research with simple regression analysis which selected the sample of 52 out of 109 students from the first semester of the UINSU Medan Mathematics Education Study Program in 2022/2023 academic year. The instrument used in this study was a written test in the form of multiple choices, and the collected data would be analyzed descriptively and inferentially. First, a classical assumption test consisting of a normality test and a linearity test was carried out, which was then followed by a simple regression analysis and the determination coefficient. Meanwhile, to test the hypothesis, the researcher used t test. From the results of data processing, it was found that initial abilities had a significant influence on mathematics learning achievement in terms of critical thinking skills. From the regression analysis, it was found that the regression equation Y = 40.929 + 0.589X which showed a positive correlation between initial ability and student achievement. In addition, it was also found that initial ability had an influence of 67.6% on learning achievement so it is necessary to improve initial ability to achieve high-quality learning achievement. 

A meta-analysis of the relationship between self-assessment and Mathematics learning achievement

This study uses a meta-analysis model to describe the relationship between self-assessment and achievement in learning mathematics. This meta-analysis covers articles published from 2011 to 2022 and is restricted to studies published in English. Indexed articles by Google Scholar were chosen. The data must meet these criteria: quantitative research, containing correlational research on the relationship between self-assessment and mathematics learning achievement (including correlation values and sample size). Through the data screening process with predetermined criteria, 12 research results were obtained, containing 43 studies to be analyzed. This meta-analysis uses a random effect model due to the heterogeneous data distribution. A publication bias test was carried out with the Fail-safe N model to ensure the quality of the data. The result of the analysis showed that the data distribution was heterogeneous, according to the I2 test, so selecting the random effect model was the right decision. Regarding publication bias, an accurate Fail-safe N test shows that the data are free from publication bias. Thus, the analysis uses a suitable model, and the results of the analysis can be trusted. The total effect size indicates a significant positive correlation (r = 0.295) between self-assessment and students' mathematics achievement. Therefore, the higher the self-assessment index, the higher one's mathematics learning achievement.

An analysis of mathematical representation ability middle school students on concept congruence on learning style

The ability of mathematical representation helps students solve mathematical problems in forms that are easy to understand and more concrete, so that they can maximize their potential for achievement in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study was to describe the mathematical representation abilities of junior high school students on the concept of congruence in terms of learning styles. The subjects of this study were 35 grade VIII junior high school students using a random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using mathematical representation ability tests, learning style questionnaires, and interviews. After that, it was analyzed using triangulation techniques to determine the validity of the data. The results showed that on average, students have very good visual representation abilities with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning styles because all students can solve questions correctly according to the indicators. Students who have the ability to represent good expressions or equations have a visual learning style. Whereas students with word representation abilities cannot be said to be good because of the existing subjects, there are no students with any learning style who can solve word representation ability questions correctly. Based on this, it can be concluded that the low representation ability of students is not influenced by their learning styles, both visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, especially in the concept of congruence.
