Designing learning trajectory to support preservice mathematics teachers' skills in creating and implementing realistic mathematics tasks

In mathematics teaching and learning, mathematics tasks embedded in realistic contexts are crucial for developing mathematical concepts, procedures, and the application of mathematical knowledge. Despite this, mathematics teachers often encounter challenges in designing and implementing such realistic mathematics tasks. Therefore, this study aims to construct a learning trajectory to enhance preservice mathematics teachers' abilities to create and implement Realistic Mathematics Tasks (RMTs). Employing a design research methodology, the study comprises three phases: preliminary design, teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. The data presented in this article are from the first cycle, encompassing all three phases. The research involved four fourth-year preservice mathematics teachers from Sanata Dharma University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, participating in a preliminary experiment conducted over three months outside their regular coursework. Data were collected through pre-course written tests, observations, interviews, journal reflections, and analyses of the preservice teachers' work. The findings indicate that the learning trajectory effectively raised awareness among preservice teachers about key characteristics of realistic mathematics tasks. This heightened awareness was evident in their reflections and work. Additionally, observations of their teaching practices revealed that preservice teachers valued student reasoning in solving RMTs. However, they faced difficulties in classroom management and guiding students to construct new knowledge actively through their experiences in solving RMTs.

Students’ Mathematical Disposition and Resilience: An Analysis of Student Perceptions in Numbers and Algebra Courses

Mathematics not only emphasizes the mastery of concepts and principles, but mathematics also has a mission to build student affection through mathematical disposition and resilience. Not only elementary students but also college students have the potential to have a negative attitude toward mathematics. If this happens, the dynamics of affection in mathematics learning must be questioned. To further the investigation, this study aims to analyze the perceptions of primary teacher education students from Sanata Dharma University in the Numbers and Algebra Course terms in the context of mathematical disposition and resilience. Through a qualitative approach involving 98 students from two different classes, the results of this study showed that: 1) factors that influence students' attitudes towards mathematics are their early motivation, 2) attitudes towards mathematics are related to activities and student learning outcomes, 3) aspects of mathematical disposition that need to be optimized are self-confidence and curiosity, 4) aspects of mathematical resilience to note are efficacy and resilience. This study has significant implications for implementing learning, especially in the context of mathematical disposition and resilience. The results of this study can be used as initial diagnostic recommendations in learning planning that leads to effective student outcomes.

Posthumanism is Right in so far as Humanism is Not Human Enough: Introducing Vol. 11 No. 2

Alongside the “Anthropocene,” “posthuman” undoubtedly counts among the most prominent keywords of today’s academic discourses. Its increasing prominence in the Indonesian academia was reflected in the theme of the Sanata Dharma Berbagi conference held in October 2023. The title of the fifth edition of the ASLE-ASEAN Ecocritical Conference held in Chiang Rai, Thailand, just a month later, too, was “Posthuman Southeast Asia.” If the conference series had understandably close affinity with broadly posthumanist orientations from its inception, the title of the fifth iteration of the conference perhaps distinguished itself with its constative resonance, that Southeast Asia already is posthuman. The avenues for thought that the posthumanist wave clears, particularly in the Indonesian context wherein it represents advances beyond a myopic culturalism that so often constrains research in the humanities, deserve full intellectual attention from those in the field of cultural studies in the country. However, even though I myself have recently defended certain theoretical projects that are sometimes associated with posthumanism, I still remain hesitant to ride the wave of posthumanism at full speed. For I have also found myself wondering whether the great strides promised by posthumanism risk obfuscating alternative paths forward potentially opened by other lines of thought.
