Analysis of Students Mathematical Representation and Connection on Analytical Geometry Subject

Abstract

The importance ability of mathematical representation and connection to owned by the student really help students in understanding the mathematical concepts in the form of pictures, symbols, and the written word. The use of mathematical representation and the correct connection by students will help students make mathematical ideas more concrete and can connect a concept to another concept, so that students can develop a view of mathematics as a whole integration. This research aims to describe and analyze the ability of representation and mathematical connection on the topics of analytical geometry. The research method was descriptive with the subject as much as 22 mathematics students. Data collected through tests and interviews. The results show that the average ability of representation is 46.00; the average mathematical connection ability is 36.77. This means both the abilities still belongs to low, particularly for the ability of mathematical connection.

Analisis Kemampuan Representasi Matematika Siswa SMA Dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Geometri Berdasarkan Level Berpikir Van Hiele

“…Beberapa hasil penelitian terdahulu menunjukkan bahwa penguasaan geometri dapat memberikan manfaat di berbagai bidang seperti di bidang ekonomi, arsitektur, sosial, tehnik, dan banyak lagi (Baccelli et al, 1997;Campbell & Manning, 2019;Russell, 2011;Voronina & Tretyakova, 2017). Sedangkan secara kognitif, penguasaan geometri dapat membantu mengembangkan kemampuan dalam pemecahan masalah, dapat berkomunikasi secara matematika, dapat bernalar secara matematika, dan menguasai geometri dapat membuat siswa mampu menghubungkan matematika dengan dunia fisik atau dunia nyata (Dimmel & Herbst, 2017;Koyuncu et al, 2015;Mulligan, 2015;Noto et al, 2016). Memandang dari banyaknya manfaat dari penguasaan geometri, maka dipandang perlu untuk penguasaan ini diperkuat sejak jenjang sekolah.…”
