Abstract

This research was conducted using a qualitative research method of synthesis research with the aim of identifying the components trait of mathematics curriculum with a cognitive approach. The studied sources include all valid scientific articles in this field. Through regular searches in databases, 384 scientific articles were identified based on input criteria and finally 24 articles were selected based on output criteria for final analysis. To provide information, a worksheet designed by the researcher was used to report and record the information of the initial research, and to analyze the findings, a six-step Roberts’s synthesis model was used. According to the findings, the characteristics of the ten elements of the Mathematics course was presented with a cognitive approach. The results also generally showed that the mathematics curriculum with a cognitive approach is a program related to the real life of learners in which the skills of thinking, problem solving, reasoning and learning activities are very important. In this program, various and flexible educational solutions can be used based on the characteristics provided in relation to each of the elements.
