Abstract

This study aims to explore the decision-making process of novice and experienced teachers in designing mathematics problems. Data collection of decision-making process is done by interview based on the results of observations of problems designed by the teacher and the framework that includes the stage of generating ideas, clarifying ideas and assessing the reasonableness of ideas in creating mathematics problems. The findings show that in generating ideas, novice teachers are still less creative than experienced teachers. In clarifying ideas, experienced teachers always associate problem with real contexts close to students, while novice teachers create problems based on contexts that are still less associated to students' real life. When assessing the reasonableness of ideas, novice and experienced teachers alike have the confidence that the problems are designed according to students' abilities in which experienced teachers claimed that the problems also supported by students experiences. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
