The Thinking Process of Class IX Students of Junior High School in Solving Problems Geometry

Abstract

The purpose of learning mathematics emphasizes the ability of students to think. This article describes the thinking process of class IX junior high school students in solving mathematical problems, especially the material of spatial structure. Researchers describe 2 types of thinking processes, namely numerical thinking and realistic thinking. The researcher uses a qualitative approach in describing the subject's thought process. The main instrument of this research is the researcher himself, while there are 3 (three) kinds of auxiliary instruments, namely: math problems, interview guidelines and video recording. The stages of data analysis carried out in this study were: transcribing data; reduce data; encode data; checking data validity or data triangulation; reviewing data; interpret findings; validate findings; draw conclusions. The results showed that the thinking process of the subject of numeric thinking is to assemble numbers that are according to calculations. While the thinking process, the subject of realistic thinking assembles numbers that are in accordance with calculations and the real form of a shape.

Analisis Teori Belajar Konstruktivisme Dalam Pembelajaran Matematika Di Sma Budi Utomo Perak

“…Triangulasi adalah teknik pemeriksaan keabsahan data yang memanfaatkan sesuatu yang lain (Moleong, 2009). Triangulasi ideas, strategies, and solutions in solving problems are expected to be able to develop their thinking skills (Hidayati et al, 2022). Siswa kelas XI MIPA 7 SMA BUDI UTOMO Perak juga memberikan respon baik terhadap guru dalam proses pembelajaran, "Hubungan yang positif antara interaksi guru, siswa, serta motivasi siswa akan membuat peningkatan perolehan siswa dalam proses pembelajaran" (Iffah, 2021).…”

Penalaran Spasial Siswa SMP Dalam Menyelesaikan Masalah Bangun Ruang Ditinjau Dari Brain Dominance

“…Mathematics learning at each level of education has its own characteristics according to the development of students (Nuryami, Janan, & Hasanah, 2022). Junior high school students who are in the operational stage of Piaget's theory have been able to think using a number of symbols and certain formal logic, one of which is about spatial (Hidayat, Tristanti, Nurwiani, & Iffah, 2021). Building space is one of the geometry materials studied in junior high school where students will often use reasoning spatial analysis in particular to determine the elements in the spatial structure.…”
