Abstract

The present work is a descriptive study aims to describe the students’ mathematical investigation based on their mathematical abilities. In general, there are four cognitive steps in mathematical investigation, i.e. Specializing, Conjecturing, Justifying and Generalizing. The data were gathered from students’ written work in solving mathematical problems and interview. The participants were 32 first year students of mathematics education study program in a university in Mataram, Indonesia. The participants were classified into three mathematical ability categories namely high, moderate and low. The data were analyzed using mixed method. The results confirmed that the subject with high and moderate mathematical abilities were able to perform four steps mathematical investigation, while those of low category cannot make the Generalizing stage. Furthermore, compare to moderate students, students with high mathematical abilities have more constructive way of thinking. The results indicate that the prospective teachers’ mathematical investigation skills need to be improved through the series of lesson embedded in various courses in mathematics education study program.
