A Descriptive Study on Improving of Prospective Elementary Teachers’ Reasoning: Learning Geometry through Mathematical Investigation | Chapter 12 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 3

 To help prospective primary teachers improve their mathematical reasoning abilities, this study employs a mathematical investigation technique in teaching geometry. Non-routine tasks were carried out as part of a mathematical research process, which was essentially a set of activities, in this study. Developing mathematical reasoning abilities in research subjects through their ability to analyse, generalise, synthesise, rationalise, and solve non-routine issues, which is operationalized as a research indicator and used as a criterion for assessing mathematical reasoning abilities. Quasi-Experimental design is used in research. The researchers based their findings on this type. Use a pre-and posttest design with two study groups: the control group and the treatment group. A total of 111 students participated in the study, with 56 pupils in the experimental group and 55 in the control group. The study concluded that (1) investigation of mathematics as a method of learning can result in a positive response to increased mathematical reasoning ability, and (2) there is no interaction effect between learning factors and prior knowledge of mathematics on increased mathematical reasoning ability.
