Unleashing the potential: spatializing middle school mathematics for enhanced learning

Winarti, D.W., Patahuddin, S.M. & Lowrie, T. Unleashing the potential: spatializing middle school mathematics for enhanced learning. Educ Stud Math (2024). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10649-024-10343-3  

 

Abstract

This study assessed the effectiveness of a spatialized mathematics intervention on the mathematical performance and spatial visualization skills of students from an underprivileged Indonesian community. Grade 8 students (N = 407) were assigned to one of twelve experimental classes, receiving the spatial mathematics intervention, or one of seven control classes, continuing with the standard mathematics curriculum. Prior to and following the intervention, a pre-test and post-test design was administered. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance to ascertain the effect of the intervention. Results revealed that the students in the experimental group exhibited significant improvements in spatial visualization skills and mathematics performance (including both spatial and non-spatial competencies), compared to the control group. Importantly, the findings provide evidence that the transfer effects of the spatialized curriculum occur differentially for students of varying ability levels. The findings highlight the importance of spatial intervention in enhancing mathematics performance and spatial visualization skills. The study suggests potential avenues for a paradigm shift in mathematics education that recognizes and embraces the profound influence of spatial thinking.

Abstract

Equity, inclusion, and education are remarkable elements encompassed in the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). As such, there is a growing number of publications on these topics presenting some challenges to envision an overarching understating of the connections among these subjects. Hence, the purpose of the current study is to explore the body of research that involves equity, inclusion, and education that is contributed by Indonesian academia by employing bibliometric and science mapping analysis. The search was conducted on SCOPUS database which resulted in some 400 plus documents after applying the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was analyzed employing various bibliometric analysis indicators such as number of publications, contributing institutions, citation, co-citation, and keywords. Microsoft excel and VOSviewer software was employed for conducting the analysis. The findings revealed that the number of publications and citations on the topics has been quiet fluctuating. Analyses of the intellectual and conceptual structure revealed that trans-disciplinary nature of scholarship on the topic. Based on the findings, the needs for a greater emphasis on research in these areas by Indonesian institutions/researchers are realized. It is also suggested that researchers employ an integrated approach by investigating variables from the policy and practice perspectives as well as at an organizational or systemic level. The findings are string support that education is an integral component of achieving equity and inclusion which should be taken into account while devising policies and implementing the same.

Validation of the Indonesian version of the psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ) in higher education: a Rasch analysis

Ratnaningsih, I.Z., Prihatsanti, U., Prasetyo, A.R. and Sumintono, B. (2024), "Validation of the Indonesian version of the psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ) in higher education: a Rasch analysis", Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education,  https://doi.org/10.1108/JARHE-10-2023-0480 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abstract
Purpose – The present study aimed to validate the Indonesian-language version of the psychological capital
questionnaire (PCQ), specifically within the context of higher education, by utilising Rasch analysis to
evaluate the reliability and validity aspect such as item-fit statistics, rating scale function, and differential item
functioning of the instrument. These questionnaires are designed to assess students’ initial psychological
status, aiming to ease their transition from school to university and monitor undergraduate students’ mental
health.
Design/methodology/approach – A total of 1,012 undergraduate students (female 5 61.2%;
male 5 38.8%) from a university in Central Java, Indonesia completed the 24-item Indonesian version of
the PCQ. The sampling technique used is quota sampling. Data were analysed using The Rasch model
analysis, it was performed using the Winsteps 3.73 software.
Findings – The results of the Rasch analysis indicated that the reliability of the instrument was good
(a50.80), item quality was excellent (1.00), and person reliability was consistent (0.77). In the validity aspect,
all four domains of the PCQ exhibited unidimensionality, and a rating scale with four answer choices was
deemed appropriate. The study also identifies item difficulty level in each dimension.
Practical implications – The practical implications of this study are beneficial for higher education
institutions. They can use the validated Indonesian version of the PCQ to monitor the mental well-being of
undergraduate students. Mapping the PsyCap can serve as a basis for developing and determining learning
policies, potentially leading to improvements in student academic performance. The theoretical implications
of this study are related to the advancement of measurement theory. By employing Rasch analysis, the study
contributes to enhancing the validity and reliability of measurement, particularly in the context of educational
and psychological assessment in Indonesia.
Originality/value – This current study confirmed that the Indonesian version of PCQ adequately measures
psychological capital in higher education, particularly in the Indonesian context.

ABSTRACT

Indonesia mengalami peningkatan pada struktur penduduk usia lanjut. Hal ini menyebabkan dampak positif dan negatif khususnya bagi keberlangsungan kehidupan bangsa. Lansia berdaya merupakan salah satu hal yang dapat meringankan kondisi bangsa untuk menjadi bangsa yang sejahtera. Konsep Active Ageing membawa bangsa Indonesia menjadi bangsa yang sejahtera. Konsep active ageing sendiri terdiri dari 8 faktor yang dibagi menjadi 2 bagian. Tentunya konsep ini akan berangkat sejak masa muda. Anak muda yang memahami konsep active ageing dapat menjadi lansia berdaya saat masa lanjut usia nanti. Hasil penelitian melalui metode statistic deskriptif ini penulis didapati bahwa anak muda memberikan hasil positif terhadap pengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan terhadap konsep active ageing tersebut. Bahwa Anak Muda sudah mengetahui pengaplikasian konsep active ageing dalam kehidupan sehari- hari mereka. Secara teori kebanyakan anak muda belum maksimal dalam pemahaman konsep active ageing ini. Untuk penerapan konsep active ageing harus terus diterapkan oleh anak muda dan diteruskan kepada generasi berikutnya. Pemerintah dalam hal ini dapat memberikan pendampingan dan pemberdayaan kepada remaja agar dapat menjadi individu yang produktif bahkan hingga masa lanjut usianya yang berdampak juga pada kesejahteraan bangsa Indonesia nantinya.

Divorce Narratives and Class Inequalities in Indonesia

Abstract

In the past 20 years, divorce has increased in Indonesia. Indonesian statistics show that divorces initiated by women exceed those by men. One issue that is often neglected is how socioeconomic differences also play a role in this matter. Drawing on our collaborative research on Muslim divorces in Indonesia, this paper focuses on the interplay between divorce strategies and socioeconomic differences among Muslim couples. Our in-depth interviews with 93 Muslim men and women and 19 judges from Islamic courts show that class differences shape distinctive dynamics of divorce among Muslim Indonesians. Couples from less educated, lower-income backgrounds accept marriage dissolution more easily, with women becoming much less tolerant of men’s behaviors such as infliction of domestic violence, infidelity, and failure to provide financial support. Educated, middle-class urban couples divorce for similar reasons but tend to experience a lengthier process accompanied by complex layers of conflict. Many educated women’s narratives emphasize their ability to support themselves through working, and a desire to be free of a bad marriage at any cost. Class and education thus contribute to significant differences in the experience and trajectories of divorce in Indonesia.
