Analyzing Students’ Errors in Solving Sequence and Series Application Problems Using Newman Procedure

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the errors of students in solving the problem of applying sequence and series based on Newman's rules. This research uses descriptive analysis method. The subjects of this study were first semester students majoring in business administration at Muhammadiyah University of Sukabumi. The data collection used test and interview methods. Based on the results of data analysis using the Newman error analysis procedure, it is concluded that students made 8.9% reading errors, 18.9% comprehension errors, 32.2% transformation errors, 42.2% process skills errors, and 43.3% encoding errors. The percentage of reading errors up to encoding errors has increased because students cannot solve the problem correctly after encountering obstacles at the beginning. Error analysis can be used as reference material for lecturers in designing learning that can overcome student errors in working on the applied of sequence and series.

Analisis Kesalahan Siswa Dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Literasi Matematika Berdasarkan Prosedur Newman

“…Istilah ini diambil dari nama seorang guru matematika di Australia yang pertama kali memperkenalkannya pada tahun 1977 yaitu Anne Newman (Susilowati & Ratu, 2018). Dalam prosedur Newman ada lima kegiatan spesifik yang diperiksa untuk menemukan letak kesalahan siswa ketika menyelesaikan permasalahan dalam bentuk soal uraian yaitu tahap membaca, tahap memahami masalah, transformasi, keterampilan proses dan penulisan jawaban (N. Agustiani, 2021;Anggraini et al, 2022;Putri et al, 2023). Lima tahap dalam prosedur ini merupakan langkah kerja yang dilakukan oleh siswa dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan yang diberikan Walaupun prosedur Newman sudah lama muncul, namun prosedur ini masih kurang populer di kalangan guru.…”

Pengembangan Instrumen Tes PLSV Berdasarkan Indikator Berpikir Kritis dan Pemecahan Masalah

“…Instrumen tes dapat digunakan untuk mengumpulkan informasi dan data mengenai ketercapaian hasil belajar peserta didik [18]. Intrumen tes juga dapat digunakan sebagai rujukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di kelas sehingga membantu mengatasi permasalahan peserta didik dalam memecahkan masalah dan juga dapat meningkatkan hasil belajarnya [19].…”

Mathematics education research in Indonesia: A scoping review

“…Metacognition as a thinking process has been studied from various perspectives, such as cognitive abilities and selfregulation (Suryaningtyas & Setyaningrum, 2020), metacognitive ability level (Zakiah, 2020), and the relationship between metacognitive, gender, adversity quotient (MZ et al, 2017). Misconceptions and error analysis are topics of study related to cognitive processes that are often discussed (Agustiani, 2021). Furthermore, cognitive load theory has been studied in various perspectives, including mathematical literacy skills (Purnama & Retnowati, 2020) and worked examples (Irwansyah & Retnowati, 2019).…”
