Planning, execution, and revision in mathematics problem solving: Does the order of the phases matter?

Abstract

The present study analysed the mathematical problem-solving processes, in terms of linearity and recursion, and the relationship with actual and self-perceived performances of a sample of 524 students of upper-elementary students. The results showed a more linear than recursive process while performing the tasks, mainly characterized by continuity. The use of planning strategies before execution and the use of revision strategies after this phase were both significantly related to good performance, even if rates of success were low. The presence of a linear and hierarchical resolution process was related to students´ judgments of success, while recursion, or going back in the process, was associated with judgments of failure. Results are discussed in the light of current research on mathematics problem-solving.

Deskripsi Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematis Ditinjau Dari Gender Pada Materi Bangun Ruang

“…Melalui keterampilan ini diharapkan segala permasalahan kehidupan dapat teratasi. Pemecahan masalah menjadi tujuan inti pembelajaran matematika di sekolah dan menjadi keterampilan penting yang dibutuhkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari (García et al, 2019;Hobri et al, 2020;Surya et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2019), sehingga setiap siswa harus memilikinya (Ramdan et al, 2018). Pemecahan masalah menjadikan siswa dapat memahami matematika (Albay, 2019).…”

Perangkat Pembelajaran Model Problem Based Learning Memfasilitasi Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematis Pada Materi Aritmatika Sosial

“…Kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika merupakan salah satu kemampuan yang sangat penting yang harus dimiliki oleh peserta didik dalam menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan (Mukasyaf, Fauzi, Mukhtar, 2019) (Garcia, Boom, Krosbergen, Nunez, & Rodriguez, 2019). KPMM harus menjadi perhatian agar dapat melakukan tindak lanjut dari suatu penelitian (Arjudin, Sutawdjaja, Irawan, & Sa'adijah, 2016 Hasil ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan Fitratul (2017) pada kelas VIII SMP.…”

Two Parts of Reflective abstraction: For New Problem Solving and Mathematical Concept

“…Solving mathematical problems is a common activity and is considered as a basic component that is often faced by students for all levels of education [10][11][12][13]. When students are given a mathematical problem, the teacher can give students the freedom to solve the mathematical problem by using their own ways in order that they can encourage students to think independently and use different and open strategies [14].…”
