<p>The aim of this study is to investigate the variety of problem solving strategies used by preservice mathematics teachers while solving different mathematical word problems which require representation standards and to identify which strategy is functional for pre-service teachers to apply with middle-school students.</p><p>The study was a case study and conducted during the 2009 spring semester. For this study, 150 senior class pre-service teachers of elementary mathematics education were chosen from a public university in Turkey by convenient sampling. Data were collected through an open-ended test developed by researchers. The test was consist of ten mathematical word problems selected from the five sub-learning areas. The test was given to the pre-service teachers and they were asked to solve each problem in different ways. It took 60 minutes for preservice teachers to complete the test. Strategies that pre-service teachers used for solving word problems were categorized by using content analyze. Also interviews were conducted with pre-service teachers in order to identify their opinions about the usability of strategies in middle-school classrooms.</p><p>Findings revealed that participants are lack of using different strategies while solving word problems. In general the participants did not apply more than one strategy and they used traditional solving strategies instead of extreme ones. Findings of this study will be a guiding spirit to teacher educators for the enhancement of preservice teacher education programs.</p>

Performa pemecahan soal cerita matematika pada siswa SD di Indonesia masih rendah. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan rendahnya performa pemecahan soal cerita matematika adalah self-efficacy rendah pada siswa. Untuk mengembangkan self-efficacy siswa diperlukan penguasaan strategi belajar yang efektif. Beberapa penelitian yang menguji keterkaitan antara strategi metakognitif dan pemecahan masalah matematika telah banyak dilakukan, namun di Indonesia menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pengaruh pengajaran strategi metakognitif IDEA terhadap peningkatan self-efficacy soal cerita matematika pada siswa kelas 5 SD. Strategi metakognitif IDEA merupakan metode pengajaran soal cerita matematika yang dikembangkan berdasarkan teori Polya (1973) terdiri dari empat langkah, yaitu memahami masalah, membuat rencana perhitungan, melakukan perhitungan, dan melakukan pengecekan kembali. Self-efficacy pemecahan soal cerita matematika merupakan suatu keyakinan individu atas kemampuannya dalam mengatur diri dan menyelesaikan tugas pemecahan soal cerita matematika. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas 5 SD X Jakarta Barat berjumlah 6 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan purposive sampling. Pengukuran self-efficacy soal cerita matematika menggunakan kuesioner self-efficacy yang disusun berdasarkan teori Bandura (1997) meliputi dimensi level, generality, dan strength. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif, dengan desain penelitian quasi experiment, one group pretest-posttest. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji statistik paired sample T-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada self-efficacy pemecahan soal cerita matematika sebelum dan sesudah pengajaran strategi metakognitif (t = -1.535, ρ > 0.05). Berdasarkan hasil analisis, disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh pengajaran strategi metakognitif terhadap peningkatan self-efficacy soal cerita matematika pada siswa kelas 5 SD.    Elementary school students in Indonesia still struggle to solve mathematical word problems. One factor that causes this is low self-efficacy among students. To develop self-efficacy, students need mastery of effective learning strategies. Several studies examining the link between metacognitive strategies and mathematical problem solving have been carried out, however in Indonesia they show varied results. This study aims to examine the effect of teaching IDEA metacognitive strategies on increasing self-efficacy of 5th grade students in doing mathematical word problems. IDEA metacognitive strategy is a method of teaching mathematical world problems developed based on Polya's (1973)  theory consisting of four steps, namely understanding the problem, making a calculation plan, doing the calculation, and re-checking. Self-efficacy in solving mathematical word problems is an individual's belief in his/her ability to organize themselves and complete the task of solving mathematical word problems. The samples in this study were six 5th grade students of SD X West Jakarta. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. Measurement of self-efficacy in solving mathematical word problems used a self-efficacy questionnaire that was compiled based on Bandura's (1997)  theory which includes levels, generality, and strength dimensions. The research method is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental research design, one group pretest-posttest. Data analysis was performed using paired sample T-test statistical test. The result shows that there is no significant differences in the self-efficacy in solving mathematical word problems before and after teaching metacognitive strategies (t = -1.535, ρ > 0.05). Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that teaching metacognitive strategies has no effect on increasing self-efficacy in solving math word problems among 5th grade students.

Increasing Student Learning

Motivation strategy in learning is a planning towards motivation which contains a series of activities that are specifically designed and designed, to achieve various specific educational goals. Therefore, to achieve the desired educational program objectives in accordance with educational values. So that the teacher is expected to have several motivational learning strategies that can inspire students to learn comfortably, pleasantly and not monotonously. To achieve the goal of increasing student motivation, a better effort is needed from the teacher in choosing and applying motivational strategies, methods and learning media that are in accordance with these competencies. The purpose of this study is: a). Describing the teacher's strategies applied in increasing student learning motivation in class VIII Islamic Education subjects at NU Sunan Giri Kepanjen Middle School. b). Describe changes in the increase in learning motivation of VIII graders in NU Middle School Sunan Giri Kepanjen

The Relationship

Introduction.  Prior research consistently provides evidence supporting potential relationships between epistemological beliefs and learning. The current study examines the relationship between epistemological beliefs, academic motivation, and self-regulated learning strategies among different ethnic groups of American adolescents. Method.  This quantitative study utilized a correlational design to examine the relationship between epistemological beliefs and self-regulated learning strategies in adolescents attending middle school. A total of 364 middle school students (6th to 8th grade) from Southern California public middle schools participated in the study. A multiple group path model was employed to analyze the student data. Results.  We found that certain knowledge, omniscient authority, and innate ability beliefs about the nature of knowledge predict positive relationships with self-efficacy and intrinsic value components of motivation. Quick learning and simple knowledge beliefs predict negative relationships with self-efficacy and intrinsic-value but positive relationship with test-anxiety. Similarly, in the aspect of self-regulatory learning strategies, those who believe in the absolute nature of knowledge and the authorities tend to use cognitive and self-regulatory learning strategies more often, while those who believe in the speed of knowledge acquisition tend to employ those strategies less. Discussion and Conclusion. Findings from this study inform educators of the need to advance adolescents’ epistemological beliefs for each subject (e.g., science, language arts) as a method to facilitate their motivation and self-regulated learning. We recommend that future research should include assessments of the participants’ cultural orientations or the domain specificity of the epistemological beliefs, which may vary the associations of the beliefs with self-regulated learning. Additionally, future research can further investigate other potential mediators of the relationship between epistemological beliefs and self-regulatory learning.
