ALGEBRAIC REASONING OF STUDENT WITH KEIRSEY PERSONALITY TYPE IN SOLVING MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM.Algebraic reasoning is an important skill for students to support in learning mathematics, especially on algebraic topics. This research is aimed at describing students' algebraic reasoning to solve problems based on Keirsey's personality types. This research used qualitative with a descriptive approach and was conducted involving four students who have equal mathematical abilities and the same gender. The selected students represented Keirsey's personality types. The selection of students was carried out through two types of tests, namely the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) and the Mathematics Ability Test (MAT). The result showed that students with Guardian and Idealist personality types liked to use regular and coherent procedures to solve the problem. Then, students with rational and artisan personality types prefer to use complete explanations. So, teachers can improve students' algebraic reasoning skills by facilitating each student based on their personality type, such as developing learning activities that can include every student's algebraic reasoning ability.
Metacognition plays an important role in problem-solving activities. It will help students to find what the problem is and understand how to get the solution. This study aimed at describing the student's metacognition process based on Keirsey's personality types. This research used qualitative method with descriptive approach and it was conducted involving eight students who have equal mathematical abilities and the same gender. The selected students represented Keirsey’s personality types. They were carried out through two types of tests, namely the Keirsey Temperament Sorter and the Mathematics Ability Test. The result showed that each personality type could through indicators of the metacognition process. However, there are some indicator components missed. Rational and idealist student have not been able to carry out the metacognition process in the regulation stage properly. Guardian and artisan student have been able to carry out the metacognition process well. This study suggests the teacher can facilitate students in each personality type by determining the appropriate learning model, learning activities, and assessments to obtain better results.
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.
