Abstract

Mathematics education research has undergone very rapid changes, marked by the formation of many mathematics education research organizations and the availability of accredited and indexed research publications. The purpose of this study was to see a description of past and present research and to determine the direction and trends of future mathematics education research. This research is a literature study by examining 106 articles that have been published in the Journal on Mathematics Education (JME-Sriwijaya Univ.) 2010-2017, then analyzed using descriptive analysis method. Past mathematics education research has been dominated by the issue of mathematics learning model / theory / curriculum design with a focus on primary education students as research subjects. Currently the research topic of mathematics education examines the media and learning technology with a study into the high-level thinking processes of students with an even subject. Future mathematics education research will also examine higher-order thinking skills which emphasize 4C (Four Cs: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration) abilities
