HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ONTOGENIC OBSTACLES IN SOLVING SOLID GEOMETRY PROBLEMS VIEWED FROM SPATIAL ABILITY

S Pertiwi, D Dasari, E Sumiaty — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0530

Many students have difficulties understanding the topic of solid geometry due to their limited knowledge, commonly called ontogenic obstacles. This study aims to investigate what ontogenic obstacles arise when students solve solid geometry problems based on spatial ability indicators. A qualitative with case study approach was applied in this study. Participants of this study were 44 twelve graders in one of the public high schools in Serang, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through a test consisting of 3 questions related to prerequisite material and 3 questions on solid geometry problems based on spatial ability indicators, observations and interviews with students. The results show that ontogenic obstacles found in this study include psychological, instrumental, and conceptual ontogenic obstacles. First is psychological ontogenic obstacles that occur when students do not like mathematics, so they easily forget the material they have learned. Second is instrumental ontogenic obstacles that occur when students are less prepared in understanding the distance concepts of solid geometry such as distance between point-to-point, point-to-line, and point-to-plane so students are mistaken in solving solid geometry problems based on spatial ability indicators. Third is conceptual ontogenic obstacles that occur when some students do not understand arithmetic operations, so they are confused in solving arithmetic operations related to the problem. Then overall, the ontogenic obstacles that are most often experienced by students include constructing solid figures into the appropriate plane figures, constructing plane figures that are as expected, and completing arithmetic operations.

Ahmad Lutfi, BAP Martadiputra — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0530

This study aims to explore the concepts of geometry and algebra used in mosque buildings using a qualitative approach to ethnographic methods. This study uses the Grand Mosque of Al-Jabbar as a sample located in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, because the mosque since its inauguration has invited public enthusiasm by presenting a new history of beautiful and magnificent mosque architecture. Triangulation techniques were used to generate valid data through observation, documentation (photos and videos), interview, and literature studies in the form of studies on building structures. The results of this study show that the building structures of the Grand Mosque of Al-Jabbar contain elements of plane geometry, namely triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon, and circle. There are also elements of three-dimensional geometry, namely, pyramid, prism, and tube. The concept of number patterns can be found in the arrangement of mosque domes which have patterns 1, 2, 4, 5, 10. Based on this, the construction of the Grand Mosque of Al-Jabbar contains geometry and algebra concepts that can be used as an alternative to contextual learning, so that students can know the meaning of mathematics learned at school and have the ability to solve problems in real life. Ethnomathematics learning can also be applied through online learning.

A Mohamed — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0530

Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a complex and detailed system used to communicate the design and manufacturing requirements of a part. GD&T is essential for the manufacturing industry as it ensures that parts are manufactured to the required specifications, reduces manufacturing errors and improves quality, simplifies communication between designers, manufacturers, and quality control personnel. Many technical schools and universities do not provide comprehensive training on GD&T, leaving students with limited exposure to the subject. This can make it challenging to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to become proficient in GD&T. GD&T requires practical application to gain proficiency, and it can be challenging to find opportunities to practice in a real-world setting. Learning Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) merely on a theoretical basis is not sufficient to become proficient in it. GD&T is a system that requires practical application to gain proficiency. This paper provides a review of teaching method used in a practical session designed for GD&T training and learning at a private technical institution. The finding from the review process will be used to conceptualise an effective pedagogy for GD&T training and learning.

LEARNING DYADIC DATA AND PREDICTING UNACCOMPLISHED CO-OCCURRENT VALUES BY MIXTURE MODEL

L Nguyen, MH Lanuza — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0530

Dyadic data which is also called co-occurrence data (COD) contains co-occurrences of objects where these objects are indexed and grouped into two finite sets. It is necessary to model dyadic data by applied mathematical tools because dyadic data analysis is interesting and important to many applications relating to indexed two-dimensional data such as image processing and recommendation collaborative filtering. Fortunately, finite mixture model is a solid statistical model to learn and make inference on dyadic data because mixture model is built smoothly and reliably by expectation maximization (EM) algorithm which is suitable to inherent spareness of dyadic data. This research summarizes mixture models for dyadic data, in which there are three well-known models such as symmetric mixture model (SMM), asymmetric mixture model (AMM), and product-space mixture model (PMM) which are described by beautiful mathematical proofs and explanations derived from EM algorithm. Objects in traditional dyadic data are indexed as categories and so their potential real values are concerned because of potential applications and extensions of dyadic data analysis. For instance, when each co-occurrence in dyadic data is associated with a real value, there are many unaccomplished values because a lot of co-occurrences are inexistent. In the research, these unaccomplished values are estimated as mean (expectation) of random variable given partial probabilistic distributions inside dyadic mixture model. This estimation result is solid due to support of EM algorithm.

employees when the majority had formal schooling more than years ago. Also, due to time constraints and a large amount of material to be covered, providing feedback for examination takers before and after lectures can help inform lecturers about the level of knowledge gained by them and improve the effectiveness of their lectures in the next waves of the CCC-CGCs joint free civil service review program. The study aims to determine the extent of knowledge gained by civil service examination takers through pre- and post-test-based examinations. The original 303 registered participants in the program were deduced to 261 who completed the 8-Saturday Review program and voluntarily took the post-test examination. Parallel tests were given at the beginning and end of the program to assess the effectiveness of the didactic lecture. There is a significant increase in scores after the review session at p, it meant that the program helped them increase their receptive power through the pre-and post-lecture knowledge. However, this percentage of scores was not reaching yet the passing score defined by the civil service commission with a mean score of 54% against the national passing standard percentage of 80%. The study looked also at attendance proportion with the (p=0.392; n=261) and hence this factor was not related to the scores they got. Results were analyzed through paired t-test and Pearson correlation along with the Shapiro-Wilk p-value of 0.934. This joint project is of great help to the prospective takers of the civil service commission examination and recommended continuing the project initiated by the City College of Calamba (CCC) supported by the City Government of Calamba (CGC).
