The Role of Metacognitive Monitoring and Control in Overcoming Cognitive Overload during the Impasse Phase
No full textThis study was motivated by the urgency of the phenomenon of cognitive overload, which often triggers a phase of impasse or mental block in students when solving contextual mathematics problems. This condition causes students to often rush to apply irrelevant calculation procedures without analyzing the structure of the problem, resulting in strategic failure. This study aims to describe in depth the dynamics of students' metacognition, particularly the monitoring and control functions, and to analyze the effectiveness of visualization strategies in reducing this cognitive load. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory design. The research subjects included junior high school students who were tested on their ability to solve PISA-type questions. Data collection was carried out using the Think Aloud Protocol (TAP) technique to record students' mental processes and verbalizations in real time when they encountered a deadlock. Data analysis techniques were carried out systematically through the stages of verbal data transcription, data reduction, visual presentation, and conclusion drawing, which were validated through interview triangulation. The results showed that the monitoring of metacognitive function plays a vital role as an early detection mechanism that helps students recognize anomalies between their tentative answers and the logic of the problem. Furthermore, the control strategy through image visualization proved effective in reducing extraneous cognitive load, enabling students to transform abstract representations into concrete ones and find the turning point for solving the problem. In addition to improving cognitive accuracy, successfully overcoming this impasse phase simultaneously increases students' self-efficacy or self-confidence. These findings recommend the importance of integrating metacognitive interventions in learning to build students' mathematical resilience

Innovation of Learning Management System in Mathematics Education Study Program as MBKM Supporting Media
Full text linkThe main objective of this research is to produce an LMS that can support synchronous, asynchronous and blended learning systems, especially in the Mathematics Education study program at Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka (USN Kolaka). This is very important because USN Kolaka currently does not have an independent LMS while the existence of an LMS greatly supports the implementation of MBKM, especially in lecture programs outside the University. The LMS that will be created is an opensource-based LMS that also supports the use of the Woocommerce system. Specifically, the course that will be included in the system is the Mathematics Learning Media course. However, if possible, this LMS will be developed into an online mathematics learning center throughout Indonesia, starting from elementary school to university level. To develop this LMS requires several stages. The first stage is to analyze what essential materials will be included in the system first. Second, designing or designing the LMS interface, menu layout, including how to deliver the material, The third stage realizes what has been planned. The realization stage consists of product trials, evaluation and revision. The last stage is the implementation stage. This stage of development is known as the plompt model. From these stages, an opensource LMS is obtained that is suitable for use as an online learning platform. It can include various lesson materials. Especially for this research, the teaching materials included have also gone through a validation process so that both the material and the media are ready to be used for the teaching and learning process

Mathematical Representations Based on Field-Dependent and Field-Independent Cognitive Styles
Full text linkMathematical representation ability is very important for students, but many students still need to be able to solve mathematical problems with various mathematical representation abilities. This research is narrative research with a qualitative approach to describe the problems of students' mathematical representation abilities in terms of field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles on the set topic. A total of 4 students, based on the GEFT test and the results of the subject teacher's directions, tended to field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles. The instruments used in this study were the GEFT test, questions of representation ability, and interview guidelines. The results of the data analysis show that the mathematical representation abilities of students with a field-dependent cognitive style can represent with several models. In contrast, the mathematical representation abilities of students with a field-independent cognitive style can represent all indicators. Based on these conditions, in the learning process, the teacher can plan a differentiated lesson by paying attention to the differences in students' cognitive styles
Student Comprehension of The Concept of a Geometrical Figure: The Case of Straight Lines and Parallel Line
Full text linkThe objective of this paper is to identify some student’s conceptions of the straight line and two parallel lines. This will allow us to evaluate the distance that exists between their conceptions and the theory of these concepts. In doing so, we analyzed the students’ answers to a questionnaire: the questionnaire concerned the explication of the straight line and two parallel lines. The results indicate that the students have difficulties to produce an acceptable definition of a straight line and two parallel lines. They have difficulties to find appropriate terms to express their comprehension of these concepts. The definitions they produce are ambiguous and seem to be related to the drawings they have encountered in the classroom. Their answers indicate that their comprehension on the straight line and two parallel lines seem to be in conflict with the theory of these concepts
