Research exploration and learning practices for prospective mathematics teachers

teacher, who has a fundamental role in the learning process with students (Rasyid, 2015). The teaching and learning process is a process that contains a series of teacher and student actions on the basis of reciprocal relationships that take place in educative situations to achieve certain goals. The teacher as a teacher or educator is one of the determining factors for the success of any educational effort. Educational efforts to improve the quality of human resources always lead to the teacher factor. Quality teachers will produce quality human resources as well (Yulianto & Khafid, 2016). The teacher is the most decisive component in the education system as a whole, which must receive central, first and foremost attention which is always a strategic focus when talking about education issues, because teachers are always related to every component in the education system. In addition, the teacher is also the component that most influences the creation of quality educational processes and outcomes (Burhan & Sauga, 2017). ABSTRACT In the world of education, a study has quite a large influence on education practitioners. This study aims to analyze the relationship between research and learning practices for prospective mathematics teachers. In this context, researchers will explore the understanding of prospective mathematics teachers on existing research related to the practice of teaching mathematics prospective teachers. The research method used in this study is a quantitative research method with the type of research used in this research is correlational. The results of this study are in line with the research objectives, namely wanting to see whether there is an influence on research with learning practices for prospective mathematics teachers. The data shows that there is an influence between research on learning practices for prospective mathematics teachers.


INTRODUCTION
The development of human resources is an important thing in supporting national development, one of which can be done through education.Education is something that is the obligation of every human being in the world.Education plays a role in providing knowledge with various aspects that encompass it, starting from cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and pedagogic aspects.In the 2003 National Education System Law Article 1 (Motors & Europe, 2003), explained that education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process so that students actively develop their potential to have religious spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and the skills needed by themselves, society, nation and state.
Education plays a role in preparing the younger generation as the nation's successors who can face the challenges of the times and adapt to technological growth (Hashifah et al., 2022).The government determines the goals of national education which are contained in Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the national education system article 3 (Motors & Europe, 2003), states that the goal of national education is to develop the potential of students to become human beings who have faith and are devoted to God Almighty, have noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and become democratic and responsible citizens.
The weak development of education is none other than due to the low development of human resources.The quality of educators is a determinant of the success of educational development in Indonesia.Educator in this case is a teacher, who has a fundamental role in the learning process with students (Rasyid, 2015).The teaching and learning process is a process that contains a series of teacher and student actions on the basis of reciprocal relationships that take place in educative situations to achieve certain goals.The teacher as a teacher or educator is one of the determining factors for the success of Therefore, prospective teachers can conduct research before carrying out their duties as a teacher.Research can be conducted at the student level, at which time teacher candidates are developing their abilities to become competent teachers.One way for prospective teachers to develop their competence and knowledge is to conduct research that can develop the potential of prospective teachers to become competent prospective teachers.(Sutikno, 2018).
As is the case with research conducted by (Febriyanti et al., 2022), where his research focuses on the education of prospective teachers of mathematics which aims to describe the knowledge of prospective teachers about students' mathematical reasoning processes.The research subjects were prospective mathematics teacher students the chosen by purposive sampling.It was found that prospective teachers still had difficulties in analyzing students' reasoning processes, using the meaning of terms in everyday life, and only considering the correct reasoning processes.There is also research conducted by (Pasandaran & Jumarniati, 2019) This study aims to explain how mathematics works in a problem, and how mathematical reasoning can shape our mindset.Until it leads to a conclusion that the goals of learning mathematics must experience a reorientation.Furthermore, there is research conducted by (Attard & Holmes, 2022) it is concluded that students' learning experiences in mathematics can be enhanced through various blended learning approaches by allowing various points of access to more learning opportunities.aligned with individual learning needs and free from classroom constraints.However, none of these studies have discussed in detail or specifically about Research Exploration And Learning Practices For Prospective Mathematical Teacher.This research will involve prospective mathematics teacher students as research subjects.Data will be collected via google form.In this study, researchers will explore various aspects including the relationship between research and learning practices for prospective mathematics teachers.Researchers will also explore the opinions of prospective mathematics teachers on existing research.

RESEARCH METHOD
The research method used in this study is a quantitative research method with the type of research used in this research is correlational, correlational research is research that is intended to determine the existence of a relationship between two or several variables (Arikunto Suharsimi, 2007).This study aims to analyze the effect of research on learning practices for prospective mathematics teachers.In this context, the researcher will explore the understanding of prospective mathematics teachers on existing research related to the practice of teaching mathematics prospective teachers.This study uses research instruments (Broekkamp & Van Hout-Wolters, 2007) modified by researchers to focus on prospective teachers in Jabodetabek, this is because the ability and access of researchers is limited to prospective mathematics teachers.The data collection technique was through a survey using the Google form by inviting each respondent's representative from a university in DKI Jakarta.Respondents in this study were 68 students majoring in Mathematics Education from different universities.Furthermore, the data collected was tested for the validity and reliability of the items.From the results of the validity and reliability trials on variable X, 10 valid and reliable questionnaire items were obtained, while 12 questionnaire items were obtained for valid and reliable Y variables.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The researcher conducted prerequisite tests including descriptive analysis and inferential analysis on the questionnaire data that had been given.Descriptive data analysis aims to display the conditions or characteristics of the sample data for each research variable.The data that has been obtained is then processed using Microsoft Excel.Here is the output of the frequency distribution.To find out whether the data used is normally distributed or not, a normality test is performed.The normality test is used when the number of sample data or observations is less than 30.The normality test is used to see whether the error term is close to a normal distribution.If the number of sample data or observations exceeds 30, then a normality test is not needed because the distribution of the sampling error term is close to normal (Ajija, 2011).In this study, the normality test was carried out using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.The basis for decision-making in the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is if the significance value is > 0.05, then the data is said to be normal.And the data is said to be abnormal if the significance value is < 0.05.In this study, the normality test was carried out using the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics application.Based on the data Table 2, it can be seen that the significant value is 0.107.So, it can be concluded that the data obtained above is normally distributed.Because of its significant value (0,099 > 0,05) (Brown & Motulsky, 1997).To test linearity in this study, the authors used the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics application.Based on the results of the Table 3, it can be seen that the significance value of the Deviation from Linearity is 0.164.
In making decisions on the linearity test, the data is said to be linear if the significance value is > 0.05.And the data is said to be non-linear if the significance value is < 0.05.In this way, it can be concluded that there is a linear relationship between the student perspective variable (X) and the mathematics learning variable integrated within technology (Y).Next, a hypothesis test was carried out, namely a simple linear regression analysis.Simple linear regression analysis is used to determine whether there is an influence between the independent variables and the dependent variable.The following are the results of a simple linear regression analysis using the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics application.Based on the results of the data Table 4, it can be seen that the calculated F value = 121.303with a significance level of 0.001 < 0.005, so the regression model can be used to predict research variables or in other word there is an effect of the research variable (X) on the learning practice variable for prospective mathematics teachers (Y).
Then the researcher conducted a T test.This test was conducted to see the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable by comparing the ttabel value with tcount.Tcount can be seen in Table 5.
