Changes of the Students’ Truth-Seeking Behaviour During the Infusion Mathematics Learning

Abstract

Abstract – Most students of mathematics education do not have truth-seeking. Therefore, it is necessary to do a corrective action in learning mathematics that can accustom students to tend to behave truth-seeking. The aim is to describe changes of students after the application of knowledge that accustoms truth-seeking through infusion mathematics learning. The research subjects were 25 students who were not truth-seekers at the beginning but experienced a change in the behavior of truth-seeking after the application of infusion learning. The data were collected through tests, direct observations, and interviews. The finding was that students experienced changes in truth-seeking behavior after participating in infusion learning for 10 meetings. This change was a habit that participants always do in response to a given mathematical problem
