Abstract

A teacher should present a lesson concept well, not just only using it to solve a question on exams. However, teacher should make their students understand all of the concepts. This thing should be built since we are in a golden age or in elementary school. Elementary school teacher should have better skills in teaching, because they teach a lesson base, especially mathematics. If students do not understand the base of mathematics, they will not able to solve more complex mathematics problems. Therefore, logical thinking skill is needed for this, especially for an elementary school teacher. The aim of this research is to see whether students of prospective elementary school teacher have a good logical thinking skill or not. In order to do so, we used descriptive qualitative method. We presented an easy mathematics questions to see their logical thinking skills. The result shows that prospective elementary school teacher students did not have good logical thinking skills yet. They still should increase their logical thinking skills to be a better teacher. Their lecturer should have a better teaching concept to make a better elementary school teacher later.
