Abstract

During the teaching and learning process, mistakes are not only made by students but sometimes by teachers. Minor studies deal with mathematics teachers' mistakes in the teaching process. The objective of the present study was to investigate Indonesian in-service mathematics teachers' perceptions of their mistakes during teaching mathematics. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken with 100 in-service mathematics teachers in West Jakarta City that were selected conveniently. A Questionnaire was developed and used in the wake of examining its validity and reliability. The collected data were analyzed descriptively, explaining the general views, causes, managing mistakes, and experiences. As a result, most participants tolerate their mistakes as they might be an inseparable part of the teaching process. In addition, they attributed their mistakes primarily to their lack of preparation. There is also a multitude of responses when managing and experiencing mistakes. The implication of the study is presented. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
