Komponen penting dari pengajaran matematika yang efektif adalah secara aktif mengatasi kesalahan siswa. Pendekatan pedagogis ini memainkan peran penting dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa. Studi ini menyelidiki cara guru di dua kelas mata pelajaran matematika sekolah menengah dalam memberikan kesempatan bagi siswa untuk mengembangkan identitas mereka, berdasarkan cara guru membahas dan terlibat dengan kesalahan siswa. Data dikumpulkan selama enam bulan melalui rekaman pembelajaran, catatan lapangan, dan wawancara dengan guru dan siswa. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi dua perspektif tentang bagaimana guru menangani kesalahan: persepsi bahwa kesalahan dapat menyebar, dan persepsi bahwa kesalahan dapat berfungsi sebagai peluang belajar yang berharga. Pendekatan guru untuk membahas dan menangani kesalahan dipengaruhi oleh perspektif mereka tentang siswa dan pemikiran logis mereka dalam matematika, yang mempengaruhi identitas yang mereka tunjukkan kepada siswa. Kami menunjukkan bahwa persepsi siswa tentang metode pengolahan kesalahan oleh guru mereka mempengaruhi hubungan mereka dengan matematika. Namun, siswa itu sendiri juga berkontribusi pada pengembangan identitas matematika mereka.
Actively addressing student mistakes is an important component of effective mathematics instruction. This pedagogical approach plays an important role in increasing student involvement. The study investigates how teachers in two classes of high school mathematics subjects create opportunities for students to develop their identity as students based on how teaching discusses and engages with student mistakes. We collected the data over six months using learning recordings, field records, and interviews with both teachers and students. This research explores two perspectives on how teachers deal with mistakes: the view that mistakes can spread and the view that mistakes may serve as valuable learning opportunities. The perspectives of students and their logical thinking in mathematics influence the teacher's approach to discussing and dealing with errors, shaping the identity they portray to students. We showed that students' perceptions of the methods of processing their teacher's errors influenced their relationship with mathematics. However, the students themselves also contributed to the development of their mathematical identity.
