Thirty-one advanced-level students participated in the study. The study used APOS (Action-Process-Object-Schema) theory, a constructivist theory framework, to investigate participants’ conceptual understanding of exponential functions. Activity sheets constructed with tasks based on exponential equations were administered to the participants. The written responses were used to identify participants’ mental constructions of these concepts. Furthermore, interviews were carried out to clarify participants’ written responses. The written responses and interview discussions pointed out that participants exhibited procedural tendencies in exponential functions. Most of the participants could not solve exponential equations, especially the radioactive‑decay functions. In addition, many participants did not have appropriate mental constructions at the process, object and schema levels, since most of them could not coordinate processes and encapsulate them into an object. This paper raises some important implications for mathematics education and further provides applications of genetic decomposition design and modification.","PeriodicalId":33634,"journal":{"name":"MEJ Mathematics Education Journal","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990553","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}

In studying a concept students must understand previous mathematical material as a prerequisite material. Students' conceptual understanding of a material can be influenced by several factors, one of them is the cognitive style factor that has different for each student. Different cognitive styles can be seen from the field independent and field dependent cognitive styles. The importance of understanding students' mathematical concepts of a material that is influenced by students' cognitive styles, it is necessary to analyze students' understanding of mathematical concepts. This qualitative research aims to determine students' conceptual understanding of the prerequisite material and its relationship with students' cognitive styles, and the ways students use in solving existing problems. The results in this study showed there was a significant relationship between the cognitive style of each student and the understanding of mathematical concepts towards the prerequisite material. This is because the field independent cognitive style has a good level of conceptual understanding while the field dependent cognitive style has a low level of conceptual understanding, because they have different levels of conceptual understanding so each student has their own way to solve existing problems.","PeriodicalId":33634,"journal":{"name":"MEJ Mathematics Education Journal","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990556","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}

Data collection techniques and instruments in this study were written tests and interviews. Data analysis was carried out by first classifying the data, then presenting the data and ending by concluding the results of computational thinking indicators. The results showed that the percentage of students' computational thinking aspects, namely the decomposition aspect, was 70.30% in the good category, pattern recognition 58.63% sufficient category, abstraction 58.30% sufficient category, and thinking algorithm 50.47% sufficient category. So that students' computational thinking skills are included in the sufficient category. Meanwhile, based on the categorization of high-level students they have done well. However, there were several steps that were missed and not written down in the answer sheets, such as the decomposition and pattern recognition aspects which were not carried out properly. For the medium category, all stages of computational thinking have been carried out very well starting from decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and thinking algorithms. For the low category, this category has not been able to carry out the stages of computational thinking properly.","PeriodicalId":33634,"journal":{"name":"MEJ Mathematics Education Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990558","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}

Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A correlation survey design was adopted. The study population consisted of 42,299 senior secondary two (SS2) students offering mathematics 2021/2022 in Delta State, Nigeria and 1,650 of those students were selected using a multistage sampling procedure. Mathematics Test Anxiety Questionnaire (MTAQ), which was validated by three experts, was used as the instrument for data collection which had Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.69. The students’ achievement scores in Mathematics in SS1 for 2021/2022 session represent their performance scores in the subject. Pearson product moment correlation was used to analyze the collected data. The study’s findings revealed there was a negative correlation and also majority of the students experienced high test anxiety. There was no significant connection between test anxiety and students’ academic performance in mathematics. Also, there was a significant difference between students with high and low anxiety, and their academic performance in mathematics. In light of the findings, it was recommended among other things, that mathematics teachers, school guidance counsellors should make a concerted effort to reduce the test anxiety of their students through proper teaching and conditioning and modeling the behavior of the students for better mathematics performance.","PeriodicalId":33634,"journal":{"name":"MEJ Mathematics Education Journal","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990552","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}

A structured test consisting of five trigonometric problems, with variations in context and structure, was administered to a purposefully selected group of 25 Grade 12 learners from the Sekhukhune District in South Africa. Insights into learners' graphing efficacy were obtained through task-based interviews. Data were analysed using direct interpretation which involved deductive thematic analysis of the task-based interviews and content analysis of the test scripts to match learners’ responses to the themes drawn from the Meta-Representational Competence (MRC) framework. The results showed that most learners lack invention and functioning, critiquing and reflection efficacies and hence this affected their drawing and interpretation of the graphs and consequently lead to incorrect solutions. Furthermore, the results show most learners have critiquing efficacy. This indicates that learners lack graphical efficacy for solving trigonometric problems involving trigonometric functions. This finding has pedagogic implications: the apparent lack of graphical efficacy in graphical solutions may suggest inadequate mastery of the concept. Therefore, this study recommends that the teaching and learning of trigonometric graphs should consider the development of invention, functioning, critiquing and reflection efficacies.","PeriodicalId":33634,"journal":{"name":"MEJ Mathematics Education Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990557","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}
