Focus and Scope

Mosharafa: Jurnal Pendidikan Matematika invites researchers, academicians, teachers, and practitioners to submit high-quality, original research articles and theoretical studies in the field of mathematics education that are not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The journal aims to provide an international platform for sharing innovative ideas, contemporary developments, and empirical findings.

The scope of the journal encompasses a wide range of topics within mathematics education, classified into the following core areas:

1. Mathematics Learning Innovations, Models, and Approaches

  • Instructional Design & Models: Development, implementation, and evaluation of diverse learning models, including Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Realistic Mathematics Education (RME/PMRI), and inquiry-based learning.

  • Interdisciplinary Approaches: Research exploring the integration of STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) frameworks in mathematics instruction.

  • Differentiated & Concrete Learning: Studies focusing on tailored mathematics instruction for diverse student needs, including the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach and hands-on manipulative learning materials.

2. Technology and AI Integration in Mathematics Education (EdTech)

  • Digital Media & Gamification: Design and efficacy of interactive digital learning media, mobile learning applications, flipped classrooms, and game-based mathematics learning.

  • Software & Platforms: Investigations into the use of specialized mathematical software (e.g., GeoGebra, Autograph) and dynamic content creation platforms (e.g., Scratch, Canva) in educational settings.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education: Explaining the application of Generative AI, intelligent tutoring systems, and adaptive learning environments to enhance mathematical understanding.

3. Cognitive and Affective Domains in Mathematics

  • Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS): Fostering and assessing critical thinking, creative thinking, mathematical reasoning, spatial reasoning, and complex problem-solving abilities.

  • Computational Thinking & Literacy: Exploration of algorithmic problem-solving frameworks, mathematical literacy (in line with PISA standards), and numeracy assessments.

  • Psychological & Affective Factors: Research on student attitudes, mathematics anxiety , self-efficacy, mathematical resilience, grit, self-regulated learning, and so on.

4. Ethnomathematics and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

  • Cultural Contexts in Mathematics: Investigations into mathematical concepts embedded in local wisdom, traditional architecture, historical artifacts, textile motifs, and indigenous games.

  • Culturally Responsive Mathematics Education: Designing equity-focused curricula, teaching materials, and pedagogical interventions within multilingual or multicultural student environments.

5. Curriculum, Assessment, and Teacher Professionalism

  • Curriculum Development: Evaluation and implementation of mathematics curricula, independent learning frameworks, and instructional materials (e-worksheets, diagnostic modules).

  • E-Assessment & Evaluation: Development of online-based mathematical assessment tools, diagnostic tests, and frameworks to analyze student misconceptions.

  • Teacher Education & Knowledge: Research on pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers' Professional Development, Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge).
