Mathematics Pre-Service Teachers’ Numerical Thinking Profiles

<p style="text-align: justify;">Numerical thinking is needed to recognize, interpret, determine patterns, and solve problems that contain the context of life. Self-efficacy one aspect supports numerical process. This study aims obtain a profile Mathematics pre-service teachers based on self-efficacy. used descriptive qualitative method. The data obtained were results questionnaires, tests, interviews. self-efficacy questionnaire analyzed categorized (high, moderate, low). Two informants took each category. showed following: in high category tend be able interpret information, communicate with systematic steps. Informants moderate but hesitant choosing sequence problem-solving Meanwhile, low not fully information. As result, process communicating information solving goes wrong. Another found this need for experience optimization, good understanding mathematical content, reasoning process.</p>
