Profile of student's algebraic thinking in solving mathematics problems reviewing from adversity quotient

One way to solve problems in mathematics is to think algebraically. Algebraic thinking is thinking using generalization abilities, transformational abilities, and global meta-level abilities to solve problems. A person's ability to overcome and solve problems is called Adversity Quotient (AQ). There are three categories in Adversity Quotient (AQ): climber, camper, and a quitter. This study aimed to describe the profile of students' algebraic thinking in solving mathematical problems in terms of Adversity Quotient. This research is qualitative research with the subjects of this research are three grade IX junior high school students with different AQ categories. The instruments in this study were Adversity Response Profile (ARP) questionnaires, Problem Solving Tests (TPM), and interview guidelines. The qualitative data analysis technique follows the Miles and Huberman concept, which consists of three stages: data reduction stage, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study indicates that climber students perform all stages in solving problems and fulfill all indicators of algebraic thinking. Camper students did not carry out the re-examination stage in solving problems and only carried out generalization activities in algebraic thinking. Quitter students do not perform the steps in solving problems and do not fulfill all the indicators of algebraic thinking.

Comparison of the Effects of the Choice Theory and Behavioral Activation Therapies with and Without Guided Imagery Rescripting on the Adversity Quotient and Cognitive Emotion Regulation of MS Patients in Ahvaz, Iran

Background: Complications of multiple sclerosis (MS) severely impact self-image and have debilitative effects on the adversity quotient. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the choice theory and behavioral activation therapies with and without guided imagery rescripting on the adversity quotient and cognitive emotion regulation of MS patients in Ahvaz, Iran. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The sample population included the male and female MS patients visiting the Caspian Physiotherapy Center of Ahvaz, Iran in 2019. In total, 60 MS patients were selected via convenience sampling and randomly divided into three experimental groups and one control group (15 per each). Data were collected using the Adversity Response Profile Questionnaire (ARPQ) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Data analysis was performed using the multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: A significant difference was observed between the effects of the choice theory (CT) and behavioral activation (BA) therapies with and without guided imagery rescripting (ImRs) on the improvement of the adversity quotient (AQ) and positive cognitive emotion regulation (CER) of the MS patients, as well as the reduction of negative CER (P < 0.001). Compared to the CT and BA therapies without guided ImRs, the BA therapy with guided ImRs more effectively enhanced the AQ and positive CER of the MS patients and decreased their negative CER (P < 0.001). Conclusions: According to the results, BA with ImRs is a more effective method for enhancing the AQ and positive CER of MS patients and mitigating their negative CER compared to other approaches.

Educators’ Adversity Quotient: Rising Above Challenges in the Time of Pandemic

Being one of the greatly affected sectors in this global crisis, educators hold multiple challenges on top of their responsibilities. Their ability to surmount these adversities and unprecedented challenges – defined as Adversity Quotient, play a vital role especially in this time of pandemic. This study aimed to determine the adversity quotient (AQ) of the educators through descriptive methodology. The control, ownership, reach and endurance (CORE) are the dimensions that measured the level of AQ. Data were collected using the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) questionnaire that measures an individual’s ability to respond when confronted with challenges or adversities, and interview guide questions that determine the perceived challenges. The results revealed that in general, educators have moderate AQ. Moreover, there are two perceived challenges that the educators encountered: distance learning and dealing with the stakeholders. Thus, these challenges made the educators more vulnerable in the time of pandemic. Although educators learn how to bear up against difficulties, it is still imperative to know and address one’s adversity quotient. A webinar on Understanding One’s AQ: Accepting Challenges and Rising above it, is relevant and deemed helpful in addressing the needs of the educators.
