The document discusses the results of the TIMSS 2011 report and issues with math and science education in Indonesia. It finds that Indonesian students are very weak in cognitive skills requiring higher-order thinking like applying, reasoning, and decision-making. Students are only mastering the basic level of remembering and summarizing material. It attributes these issues to a lack of conceptual understanding among teachers, an education system that does not emphasize reasoning, and pseudoscience approaches being used. It recommends empowering teachers, improving STEAM education, and developing a culture of scientific thinking in schools.

5. Reasoning -
Number
Very weak
Our students are very
good to compute to find
the multiplication of two
given fraction numbers,
but they cannot reason
about the multiplication
and understand it
