Analisis Kemampuan Spasial Pada Bangun Ruang Sisi Datar Ditinjau Dari Perbedaan Gender

Abstract

<jats:p>Spatial ability is important in studying the solid geometry. A person who has good spatial skills will easily imagine objects in three dimensions. Factors that influence the different strength of students one of which is the gender difference. This study aims to analyze students' spatial skills judging from the student gender differences. This research is descriptive qualitative that is collecting data in the form of description or sentence. The approach of this research is a qualitative approach. Research subjects in this study consisted of 4 students of class VIII C SMP Negeri 2 Trenggalek. The technique of collecting data of this research is observation, test, and interview. Test results and interviews are analyzed based on the spatial ability, they are the ability of imagination, conceptualization, problem-solving, and pattern searching. The results showed that: male students (1) able to solve the problem using the help of images and illustrate the solution; (2) able to connect data that is known to the concept possessed; (3) able to see problems from different angles; and (4) able to find patterns in solving problems. While female students showed: (1) able to solve the problem using the help of images; (2) able to mention known concepts.Key Word: Gender, Polyhedron, Spatial Ability</jats:p>

Analysis of mathematical spatial ability in terms of choleric and melancholic personality types in junior high school students

“…Research on students' spatial abilities had previously been carried out by Purborini & Hastari (2018), namely about the analysis of spatial abilities in flatsided shapes in terms of gender differences in class VIII C SMP Negeri 2 Trenggalek, showing: (1) male students are able to solving problems using pictures and drawing solutions, able to connect known data with the concepts they have, able to see problems from different perspectives, able to find patterns in solving problems; (2) female students are able to solve problems using pictures and are able to mention known concepts (Syahputra, 2020;Winarso, 2017).…”

Analisis Kemampuan Spasial Siswa Pada Materi Geometri Kelas VII

“…Sonawat dan Gogri (Purborini & Hastari, 2019) mendefinisikan kecerdasan spasial sebagai kemampuan untuk memahami lingkungan spasial dengan benar dan menerjemahkan persepsi spasial tersebut ke dalam bentuk yang beragam. Seseorang dengan kemampuan spasial yang baik seringkali imajinatif, melamun, dan mawas diri.…”

Investigasi Penalaran Spasial Mahasiswa Calon Guru Ditinjau dari Kemampuan Berpikir Matematis

“…Berdasarkan hasil tes di atas, perbedaan gender tidak mempengaruhi hasil tes kemampuan berpikir matematis temuan ini juga didukung oleh penelitian (Anita, 2015) yang dalam penelitiannya menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kemampuan berpikir matematis ditinjau dari perbedaan jenis kelamin, hal ini sejalan juga dengan penelitian (Nepal, 2016) yang menyatakan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada tingkat berpikir matematika antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Lain halnya pada penalaran spasial, perbedaan gender mempengaruhi hasil tes penalaran spasial yang dimana subjek perempuan kurang dalam menggambar bangun 3D dibanding subjek laki-laki, hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian (Purborini & Hastari, 2019) yang menyatakan bahwa subjek perempuan secara umum lebih unggul dalam bidang bahasa dan , sedangkan subjek laki-laki lebih unggul dalam bidang matematika karena kemampuan -kemampuan ruangnya lebih baik.…”
