Abstract

          Mathematics is a science with unique characteristics and nature. Mathematical knowledge can be created through the process of mathematical quest which contain mathematical reasoning. Institutions responsible for teacher training need to be aware of using instructional management to encourage trainee teachers to gain hands-on experiences in mathematical reasoning. This research aimed to 1) establish and examine the quality of teaching and learning models and 2) determine the effectiveness index of the teaching and learning model after applying the developed research process. The tools used in this research were 1) teaching and learning assessment forms 2) the learning and teaching model, and                    3) a mathematical reasoning ability test. The population used in the research was 29mathematics students selected by purposive sampling. The data were analyzed to determine average, standard deviation and effectiveness index values. The results showed that the quality assessment of the teaching and learning model by 7 experts was considered the highest level for suitability. The effectiveness index was 0.62, indicating that teaching activities via the EISDGA model was a suitable approach for teaching and learning mathematics. Therefore, it could be used to effectively promote and develop mathematical reasoning of trainee teachers.
