The aim of this research is to describe students' mathematical creative thinking abilities in solving open-ended problems when viewed from their self-concept. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. The subject selection technique used in this research was purposive sampling. The subjects of this research consisted of one student with a high self-concept category, one student with a medium self-concept category, and one student with a low self-concept. Data collection methods in this research include questionnaire methods and tests. And the data analysis techniques used include: analysis of mathematical self-concept questionnaires, analysis of open-ended mathematics questions. The research results show that students with a high self-concept category can fulfill all aspects of creative thinking abilities, including fluency, flexibility and originality, so that their mathematical creative thinking abilities are also high. In contrast to students with moderate self-concept, it was found that their creative thinking abilities were low and students with low self-concept actually had moderate mathematical creative thinking abilities. So it can be concluded that based on this research, it shows that students' self-concept does not always describe students' mathematical creative thinking abilities in solving open-ended problems.","PeriodicalId":151126,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematics Education","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140435944","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}

One interactive learning medium identified for this purpose is GeoGebra Classroom. This research aims to analyze the effect of using the GeoGebra Classroom on the increment of students’ creativity, the effect of the increment of students’ creativity on students’ learning Results, the effect of GeoGebra Classroom quality on students’ learning Results, and the interactivity between students’ creativity and the quality of GeoGebra Classroom learning media. By analyzing pre- and post-implementation learning processes with GeoGebra Classroom, we collected data on increased student creativity. In conclusion, GeoGebra Classroom effectively fosters increased student creativity. And from the process of analyzing the effect of students’ creativity increments, we get the result that the creativity increments give an effect on the learning result of quadratic function materials. Unfortunately, the quality of the learning media GeoGebra Classroom can’t give an effect on the learning result. The insights gained pave the way for future research efforts to delve deeper into the optimization of interactive learning media to improve educational outcomes in a variety of academic contexts.","PeriodicalId":151126,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematics Education","volume":"114 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140453135","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 study was a descriptive survey carried out on 390 students randomly selected from Asuoso Senior High School in the Offinso-North District of Ghana’s Ashanti region. Data was collected using Likert type structured questionnaires. Reliability analysis was computed in SPSS (V. 23) and confirmatory factor analysis was computed in AMOS (V. 23). In addition, average variance extracted (AVE), convergent validity, and discriminant validity were computed in Microsoft Excel from factor loadings. Also, composite reliability was calculated at https://www.thestatisticalmind.com/composite-reliability/. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was computed in Amos (V. 23) to determine direct, and mediating effects among the main constructs. The study found that mathematics connection positively and significantly influenced mathematics motivation of senior high school students. The indirect effects of mathematics connection on mathematics motivation through history of mathematics concepts was positive and significant. The study recommended that mathematics teachers should desist from merely topic explanations and rote memorization of solution procedures. They should rather make mathematics connections and history of mathematics concepts imminent in their lesson planning and delivery. To implement this, mathematics topics should be linked to real-life scenarios, other subjects, and students’ lives, and the history behind such concepts are explained in plain language. Not only teachers, NaCCA should ensure that the mathematics syllabus and textbooks for senior high schools have incorporated real-life scenarios as well as the historical background of concepts to ensure learners develop the interest and motives for studying mathematics.","PeriodicalId":151126,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematics Education","volume":"109 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140460751","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 focuses on using interactive e-modules as an innovative learning medium to enhance these abilities. Adopting a quantitative experimental approach, this research involved grade 8students from SMP Negeri 1 Ciwaringin during the 2022/2023 academic year, allocating them into control and experimental groups. The study aimed to evaluate student responses to the e-module, compare students' mathematical digital communication abilities before and after the module's implementation, and determine the effectiveness of the e-module. The study's results showed a significant improvement in students' abilities, with a 75.5% positive response to the e-module and an average student score increase from 36.63 (pretest) to 72.56 (posttest). An N-Gain rise of 56.62% demonstrated the effectiveness of the e-module. These findings solidify the interactive e-module as a suitable learning medium that increases student enthusiasm and participation in mathematical learning.

The study employs a control group design, comparing the performance of students using E-Worksheets with those in a control group. The findings indicate that the use of E-Worksheets significantly improves students' problem-solving skills compared to the control group. Moreover, the analysis reveals a positive association between students' level of self-directed learning and their problem-solving abilities. These findings support the integration of technology in the learning process to create interactive and engaging experiences that foster problem-solving skills. The study emphasizes the importance of cultivating students' self-directed learning and recommends strategies for educators to promote independent problem-solving and collaboration among students.
