Focus and Scope

Prima: Jurnal Pendidikan Matematika is scientific, peer-reviewed and open access journal managed and published by Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang, half-yearly on January and July. It aims to be open access journal platform which publishes and disseminates the ideas and researches on mathematics learning*. Its focus is to publish original research (qualitative research, classroom action research, development/design research are top priorities) and/or library analysis on how students learn mathematics and how mathematics is taught in primary, secondary or undergraduate level.

To maintain the focus, the scope of the published articles will be as follows:

  1. Developing mathematics learning integrated with values or character
    This scope deals with researches to explore mathematics learning from affective if we refer to the view of Markku. S. Hanula or socio-cultural perspective from the works of Alan J. Bishop and Third Wave Project.
  2. Developing mathematics learning based on the constructivist perspective
    Learning mathematics is not the transfer of knowledge but the construction of knowledge.  This scope refers to researches on the teachers' effort from primary until undergraduate to support and enhance students' roles and engagement in constructing mathematics knowledges and skills. It is not only about the achievement of students but also the process of learning which develop problem solving, reasoning and proof, representations, connections, communications, and high order thinking.
  3. The development of technological-based mathematics learning tools and its use in mathematics classroom
    The product of technology can be employed to support mathematics learning. Thus, researches on the development of mathematics learning tools using technology especially digital technology and its practices in mathematics classrooms are important part of journal scopes.
  4. The development of pedagogical content knowledge for in-service and prospective mathematics teachers
    One of mathematics education research focuses nowadays is prospective mathematics teachers. This scope includes all attempts to prepare and support prospective mathematics teachers on pedagogical content knowledge.

*The term 'mathematics learning' involves both teaching and learning of mathematics
