Abstract

The current research aimed to identify the pedagogical values (PVs) held by mathematics teachers and then analyze on the factors that affect the PVs enacted in the classroom. It involved ten teachers in Madrasah who have been teaching mathematics in the various period, from one year until over five years of experiences. Of three teachers were purposively chosen that satisfy the values criteria to be further observed in classroom teaching and interviewed. The teachers’ PVs were identified through communication, dialogue and pedagogical reflections by means of the questionnaire, interview, focus group discussion, and classroom observation. The data was then confronted with the values criteria (choosing, prizing, and acting) to determine the mathematics teachers’ PVs. The research found that only two teachers satisfy the criteria, one teacher found difficulties to enact his PVs and the others could not pass through prizing criteria. The research concluded that the PVs held by the mathematics teachers are shaped by the specific need or condition of their students (culturally dependent) and constraints such as values alignment and institutional values can affect the enactment of PVs. The implication for educational program and school context will be discussed.
