Hypothetical Learning Trajectory: Bagaimana Perannya dalam Pembelajaran Matematika di Sekolah Dasar?

In today's modern era, students are required to become learning centers. Thus, students must have prior experience and knowledge in order to be able to connect with the next concept (material). However, because the differences between the nature of elementary schooler and mathematics, teacher needs to structure learning that can be a bridge to neutralize these differences. One way to structure the learning is make a learning design such as Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT). HLT is an alleged learning process as an anticipation of things that might happen, both students' thinking processes and other things in the learning process. The term HLT refers to the teacher's lesson plan which is designed not only to consider the material, but also the level of understanding, knowledge and student characteristics of the material being studied, so that students experience the learning process from the beginning to achieving the expected mathematics learning goals for students. This article is a literature study that aims to discuss HLT in elementary mathematics learning.

Penguatan Konten Matematika bagi Guru Sekolah Dasar di Kecamatan Takari Kabupaten Kupang

Mathematics material for some elementary school teachers in Takari District, Kupang Regency, NTT is difficult material.

Semiotic analysis on Malangan Batik for elementary school mathematics learning

Among the cultural richness in Indonesia, one of which is the Malangan batik cloth. The use of Malangan batik cloth is not only for clothing and decoration needs but also becomes part of the subject matter. In elementary school learning, Malangan batik cloth is one of the learning materials for Arts, Culture, and Crafts. In the thematic learning applied in elementary schools, Arts, Culture, and Crafts subjects do not stand alone. However, it must be related to other subjects, one of which is mathematics. The reality, on the ground, most teachers find it difficult to link the two. Bridging the link between these two subjects is carried out through semiotic analysis with its six primary objects. This study aimed to conduct a semiotic analysis of Malangan batik for elementary mathematics learning. The research was conducted in a qualitative descriptive manner with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews with two elementary school mathematics teachers and two Malangan batik makers. The research period is January-March 2022. The results of the study found that elementary mathematics concepts (numbers, algebra, geometry, measurement, statistics, and capital selection) have been identified according to six primary semiotic objects, namely language, problem-situation, concepts, procedures, properties, and arguments. By understanding each semiotic object, Malangan batik has the potential to increase students' mathematical activities that are contextual, interesting, and meaningful for students.

Informing the design of a multisensory learning environment for elementary mathematics learning

It is well known that primary school children may face difficulties in acquiring mathematical competence, possibly because teaching is generally based on formal lessons with little opportunity to exploit more multisensory-based activities within the classroom. To overcome such difficulties, we report here the exemplary design of a novel multisensory learning environment for teaching mathematical concepts based on meaningful inputs from elementary school teachers. First, we developed and administered a questionnaire to 101 teachers asking them to rate based on their experience the learning difficulty for specific arithmetical and geometrical concepts encountered by elementary school children. Additionally, the questionnaire investigated the feasibility to use multisensory information to teach mathematical concepts. Results show that challenging concepts differ depending on children school level, thus providing a guidance to improve teaching strategies and the design of new and emerging learning technologies accordingly. Second, we obtained specific and practical design inputs with workshops involving elementary school teachers and children. Altogether, these findings are used to inform the design of emerging multimodal technological applications, that take advantage not only of vision but also of other sensory modalities. In the present work, we describe in detail one exemplary multisensory environment design based on the questionnaire results and design ideas from the workshops: the Space Shapes game, which exploits visual and haptic/proprioceptive sensory information to support mental rotation, 2D–3D transformation and percentages. Corroborating research evidence in neuroscience and pedagogy, our work presents a functional approach to develop novel multimodal user interfaces to improve education in the classroom.
