Improving Students’ Competency on Financial Mathematics Learning by Applying Polyas’ Model Heuristic Strategy

Abstract

The research aims to depict students’ ability in solving mathematical problems based on Polya’s heuristic. Descriptive qualitative was used as a method in this research. Data were collected by observation, test, and interview. Based on the result of analysis obtained that the students with low level prior knowledge think heuristically in solving the problem solving test. For the students with medium level prior knowledge, the students think algorithmically and couldn’t solve the problem solving test imperfectly. Furthermore, the students with high level prior knowledge think algorithmically in solving the problem solving mathematics test and the other words, the students could solve the problem solving test well and fluently.

Pengembangan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik Materi Peluang Berbasis Realistic Mathematic Education

“…Tujuan pengajaran matematika tidak hanya sebatas pengembangan kemampuan berpikir logis, sistematis, kritis, dan kreatif, tetapi juga untuk membentuk kepribadian dan keterampilan praktis peserta didik dalam mengaplikasikan konsep matematika dalam kehidupan seharihari (Laurens dkk, 2017); (Nana dkk, 2024). Dalam konteks ini, guru matematika memiliki peran penting dalam menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang stimulatif sehingga dapat memotivasi peserta didik untuk aktif menguasai materi yang diajarkan dan mencapai keberhasilan dalam proses pembelajaran (Arianti, 2019); (Olo dkk, 2023); (Simarmata & Hijriani, 2020).…”
