To activate the cooperation or collaboration skill of the students, educator often make small groups of students and give some topics to be discussed. However, we often ignore the activities that occur within the group. This article describe the process of problem solving occurred in 3 groups of prospective students for 30 minutes. A secondary school mathematics problem given to the eight groups of prospective students. They asked to design several cardboards to pack small cubes and cuboids without any space left. The math talk during the discussion was recorded. The audio files were transcribed and coded into categories of process of understanding problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. Besides, the transcription was analyzed and categorized into math talk that support or do not support the problem solving. The groups' paper and pencil works were also analyzed to support the transcription. Of 8 groups, the math talk of 3 interesting groups were analysed more and elaborated. The result show that the most of the time the students spent is for solving the problem and the shortest is for understanding the problem. The step that still missed by the several students is looking back. This study impact is that students should enhance their skill to deliver a good argumentation.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penalaran aljabar siswa SMP dalam menyelesaikan masalah SPLDV ditinjau dari gaya kognitif visualizer (object imagery dan spatial imagery) dan verbalizer. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga subjek kelas IX C SMP N 5 Ponorogo dengan jenis kelamin perempuan, kemampuan matematika berkategori tinggi, dan masing-masing bergaya kognitif object imagery (OI), spatial imagery (SI), dan verbalizer (V). Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan yaitu tes gaya kognitif OSIVQ, tes kemampuan matematika (TKM), tes pemecahan masalah (TPM), dan pedoman wawancara. Hasil penelitian ini, semua subjek menunjukkan penalaran aljabarnya pada tahap specializing, dengan menentukan informasi yang diketahui dan hal yang ditanyakan secara lengkap. Namun, OI tidak memahami maksud dari salah satu pertanyaan dalam TPM yaitu tentang cara mengecek kembali penyelesaian dengan metode penyelesaian SPLDV yang berbeda. Pada tahap conjecturing, semua subjek menentukan permisalan variabel dari apa yang diketahui. Namun, hanya SI dan V yang dapat menentukan rencana penggunaan metode eliminasi-substitusi untuk menyelesaikan masalah SPLDV. Pada tahap generalizing, hanya SI dan V pula yang menentukan penyelesaian SPLDV dengan metode eliminasi-substitusi. Meskipun demikian, seluruh subjek mampu menyusun model matematika dari soal yang diberikan dan melakukan substitusi dari nilai yang diperoleh ke model matematika yang ditanyakan. Pada tahap justifiying, hanya SI yang menentukan penyelesaian masalah SPLDV dengan metode yang berbeda yaitu metode substitusi, namun terdapat kesalahan perhitungan yang disebabkan oleh faktor ketidaktelitian, sehingga menyebabkan perbedaan hasil. Selain itu, semua subjek dapat menyimpulkan hasil dari empat pertanyaan saja dalam TPM tentang penentuan harga paket dengan kalimat yang runtut. Kata Kunci: penalaran aljabar, SPLDV, object imagery, spatial imagery, verbalizer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
