Özet:

 


This research seeks to compare the
inculcation of the value of rationalism through the form four mathematics
textbooks from Victoria (Australia) and Malaysia. One textbook is analyzed from
each of the countries. Two chapters were chosen from both of the textbooks,
namely Linear Equations and Trigonometry. Contents analysis was used to analyse
evidence of the value of rationalism. Five characteristics of the value of
rationalism are identified namely reason, explanation, abstraction, logical
thinking and theorem. We found inculcation of the value of rationalism was
moderate. However, the value of rationalism with characteristics of
hypothetical reasoning was missing from both of the textbooks. Both textbooks
inculcate   the value of rationalism with
characteristics of reasons  fairly
moderately.  The inculcation of the value
of rationalism with the characteristic of explanation appeared significantly in
both textbooks. In contrast, the inculcation of the value of rationalism with
characteristics of abstraction and theorem appeared only in the Mathematics
Form 4 of the Malaysian textbook. This study highlights the need to inculcate
the value of rationalism more thoroughly, especially the value of rationalism
with characteristics of reason, hypothetical reasoning and logical thinking.
The inclusion of the value of rationalism in the mathematics textbooks will
enable students to understand mathematical concepts more deeply and
meaningfully.
