Critical thinking skills are one of the main objectives of learning Mathematics. HOTS questions are needed so that students are familiar with international standard questions. This study aims to describe the mathematical critical thinking skills of students in the Regular, Accelerated, and Olympic class. Qualitative descriptive research approach with case study design. The subjects of this study were three students who came from different class programs. The research instruments used were tests and interviews. Data analysis used the following procedures: reduction data, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the Regular class students had 'low' critical thinking skills. Regular students are still confused about understanding the main idea of the problem, so the strategies used are not appropriate. Acceleration class students have 'good' critical thinking skills. Accelerated students can answer questions briefly and concisely, less thorough in drawing final conclusions. Olympiad class students have 'very good' critical thinking skills. Student answers are complete and clear. Olympiad class students understand the main purpose and objectives of the questions so that they lead to correct procedures and calculations.
The purpose of this study was to find out and describe the process of student representation in solving TIMSS cognitive domain questions in terms of gender. This study used descriptive qualitative method. This research was conducted at the Karangploso Islamic Middle School in Malang in class VIII in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. Data collection techniques in this study used tests and interviews. The data analysis technique used consisted of three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. The results of this study indicate that students with male and female gender in carrying out the process of representing questions in the cognitive aware domain do not experience problems, even though there are slight problems with male students in solving questions, students can still improve them. The process of representing material in the cognitive domain by female students is better than that of male students. Male students experience confusion in determining the initial steps when working on questions. While the process of representing questions in the cognitive reasoning domain, female students are also better than male students, female students are able to answer questions in the form of inequalities models well, while male students make mistakes in making inequalities models.
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.
