In implementing graphing quadratic worksheet should show details of the dominant and recessive visual thinking classification aspects that develop in students. Classification of dominant and recessive aspects of visual thinking needs to be completed to determine stages in improving the worksheet and learning instructions that are applied especially to recessive aspects. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the factors and trace the classification aspects of visual thinking that developed in students after practicing the graphing quadratic worksheet. The purpose of this research is to determine the categorization aspects of visual thinking in graphing quadratic worksheet items that develop and do not develop in students. Confirmatory factor analysis was employed as a research method on 12 sub-variables from the three classifications of visual thinking. As research data, 93 student records were used. Four main factors were formed as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis procedure, with the top two factors, namely factors 1 and 2, completely representing each aspect of the visual thinking classification and achieving the factor loading significance criteria. The implication is that the variables developed in the graphing quadratic worksheet for each aspect of the visual thinking classification have a strong relationship with the visual thinking ability overall. Enhanced by a cumulative variance value for factors 1 and 2 specifically 56.88% of the total 81.78% for all factors. Thereby it can be said that the categorization aspect of visual thinking that develops in students after implementing a graphing quadratic worksheet is achieved sensibly.","PeriodicalId":109878,"journal":{"name":"Infinity Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126110965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted in the Philippine post-pandemic context with the aim of using lesson study to improve lesson delivery in a HyFlex classroom setup in teaching synthetic division for procedural fluency. Participants included four collaborating full-time teachers and an intact class of twenty-two online and seventeen in-person learners. Research instruments were a self-assessment tool, classroom observation, and a focus group discussion. Most students could perform synthetic division but some failed to achieve procedural fluency due to poor prior knowledge in performing operations on real numbers and arranging terms in descending order of degree, and inadequate understanding of the concepts behind the algorithm. These findings underscore the importance of striking a balance between procedural fluency and conceptual understanding in a lesson. The challenges in conducting lesson study were difficulty in scheduling and conducting online meetings. The challenges in implementing the research lesson were intermittent and weak internet connection, HyFlex learning classroom management, and getting students to express their mathematical ideas. On the basis of these findings, the research lesson is then revised and improved for future implementation.","PeriodicalId":109878,"journal":{"name":"Infinity Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126267782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To face the development of technology and information, we must be intelligent in assessing, accommodating, and filtering the development of technology and information so that we can survive in constantly changing, uncertain, and competitive conditions. Besides intelligence, the character is also important to face the development of science, technology, and information. Individuals who have good character will be wiser in utilizing the development of science, technology, and information. Therefore, in this analytical research paper, we introduce SIMPATIK learning to increase the effectiveness of learning mathematics at school. Through SIMPATIK learning, students can do mathematics intelligently and have good character. SIMPATIK learning can be defined as learning that can develop sociocultural, innovative, independent, caring, creative, and active abilities in mathematics learning based on information, communication, and technology. We believe that SIMPATIK Learning can increase the quality of mathematics learning and can be used by teachers to develop the intelligence and character of students. SIMPATIK Learning is also expected to contribute science to knowledge in mathematics education worldwide.","PeriodicalId":109878,"journal":{"name":"Infinity Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129451443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of this study were four students with different numbers of correct answers in working on open-ended problems. Data collection was carried out using tests and interviews. The results showed that (1) the decision-making ability of the subject who answers correctly for both problems is complete because they fulfill all indicators, the subject can identify goals, make decisions, evaluate the results of determination, and present and remember between problems with things known to the problem and related to decisions that have been taken correctly; (2) decision-making ability for subjects with wrong answers on one number or two numbers is incomplete because they only fulfilled two indicators, the subject can identify goals, make decisions, is less able to evaluate decision results and present and remember between problems with things known to the problem, and related to decisions that have been taken with correct.

Statistics is one of the subjects students must take at the university level. Learning statistics takes work for students. Based on the author's investigation, there are three obstacles to students in online learning: the constraints of students in understanding the material, the online learning process, and the assignment process. The sample in this study is a student with an Indonesian worker background in Taiwan, where they study online at night. Since an appropriate online learning method is needed to achieve student success, this study analyzes three online learning methods: conventional online learning, conventional flipping classes in online learning, and innovative flipped classrooms in online learning. This study investigates the three learning methods' results in differences in gender, job, and age. The results obtained indicate that there are significant differences in student learning outcomes in the three sample groups. Further analysis showed that the innovation of flipped classrooms in online learning significantly differs from the other two learning methods. Based on the type of job, there are differences in student learning outcomes taught in the conventional flipped classroom in online learning. It was also seen in the analysis of combining all student learning outcomes taught with online learning that there were differences in student learning outcomes regarding the job.

Hence, the present study investigates learners’ misconceptions in the teaching and learning of probability in a selected school in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Underpinned by a Post-positivist paradigm, the study employed a quantitative research approach and a survey design in which data were gathered from mathematics learners from grades 10-12. Findings revealed that although the frequency of misconceptions varied across grade levels, it was difficult to describe how misconceptions about probability changed. As such, while learners progressed through the grades, some misconceptions faded with age, others remained stable, and others grew in power. The findings also revealed that the types of probability misconceptions did not differ significantly by gender, and male learners tend to have more misconceptions about probability than female learners.","PeriodicalId":109878,"journal":{"name":"Infinity Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124147015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
