An analysis to student error of algebraic problem solving based on polya and newman theory

Abstract

This study aims to reveal student algebraic problem-solving errors based on Polya and Newman hierarchical indicator. The subject was a study of 30 students of grade VII in one of the junior high school located in the Timor Tengah Utara, NTT, Indonesian, 2018/2019 period. Process of collecting data used tests and interviews. The result of the student problem-solving ability test was grouped into three parts, namely 5 of the student in the low category, 20 of the student in the medium category, and 5 of students in the high category. The result of the analysis based on Polya indicator indicated that a group of low students made an error on all indicators. The medium of category students made an error in carrying out the plan and looking back. For those in the high category, they make an error in looking back indicator. While the result of the analysis was based on Newman hierarchical indicator that a group of low students made an error ranging from comprehension to encoding. Group medium student makes an error in the process skill and encoding process. For those in the high category, they tend to make an error at the encoding indicator.

Students’ Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability Based on Teaching Models Intervention and Cognitive Style

“…Difficulties in solving mathematical problems are also experienced by seventh-grade students of Junior High School in North Central Timor Regency, located in the border areas between the Republic of Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste. This is proven through the results of research by Son, Darhim, and Fatimah (2019) about errors made in solving algebraic problems based on Polya's and Newman's theory. The results showed that more than 50% of the participants made errors in solving algebra problems.…”

Analisis Pola Kesalahan Jawaban Siswa Pada Materi Hitungan Kimia

“…Metode umum digunakan untuk menganalisis jawaban siswa yang mengalami kesalahan adalah Prosedur Newman dan Polya (Son et al, 2019). Prosedur Polya terdiri dari 4 tahapan, yaitu memahami masalah, menyusun rencana pemecahan, melaksanakan rencana, dan memeriksa kembali.…”

Newman’s Error Analysis Terhadap Kesalahan Mahasiswa Pada Mata Kuliah Logika Dan Himpunan

“…Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kesalahan siswa berdasarkan analisis kesalahan Newman sering terjadi pada tahap keterampilan membaca, pemahaman dan proses. Son et al (2019) Penelitian tersebut merupakan penelitian yang dilakukan pada tingkat sekolah menengah atas dan pertama. Masih jarang analisis kesalahan yang dilakukan di perguruan tinggi.…”
