Proses Berpikir Peserta Didik Dalam Pemecahan Soal Cerita Matematika Ditinjau Dari Gaya Kognitif

Abstract

This study aims to describe the thinking process of students in solving mathematical problems of triangular and quadrilateral material in terms of cognitive style. The thinking process in this study is the steps taken by students involving mental activities in solving problems related to problem solving. The process of thinking in this study there are three kinds, namely conceptual thinking, semi-conceptual thinking and computational thinking. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The subjects in this study were grade VII students consisting of four students with details of each two students from the Field Independent (FI) cognitive style and two students from the Field Dependent cognitive style (FD). Data collection techniques used in this study were mathematical tests and interviews. Data on the results of mathematical tests and interviews were analyzed based on indicators suitable with the conceptual thinking process, semi-conceptual thinking process and computational thinking process. From the results of data analysis, it was found that the students' thinking processes in solving mathematical story problems in the Field Independent group is the conceptual and semi-conceptual thinking processes. And students' thinking processes in solving mathematical story problems in the Field Dependent group tend to be semi-conceptual and computational thinking processes.

Analisis Proses Berpikir Mason Dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Sistem Persamaan Linear Dua Variabel

“…Pemahaman tentang proses berpikir peserta didik dapat menjadi salah satu sumber informasi bagi guru dalam mengajar. Namun terkadang guru tidak pernah menganalisis cara berpikir peserta didik secara bertahap, maka sangat penting bagi guru untuk mengetahui proses berpikir peserta didik dalam menyelesaikan soal matematika agar guru dapat memahami bagaimana cara berpikir peserta didik ketika menyelesaikan soal (Kabiran et al, 2019). Hal ini sesuai dengan fakta yang terjadi di sekolah SMP Negeri 7 Kota Tasikmalaya berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan salah satu guru mata pelajaran matematika.…”

Students' Thinking Process in Solving Math Problems in Terms of Learning Style

“…The thinking process is one of the essential aspects in the context of education, especially in the development of knowledge, because to solve or overcome a challenge requires a thinking process. The importance of the thinking process is expressed by Kabiran et al (2020) stated that by understanding the thinking process of students, teachers can understand how students think in processing the information received while guiding students to develop their way of thinking. According to Bakry & Bin Bakar (2015) The thinking process is a process of gathering information, storing, creating opinions, performing operations, and making conjectures or conclusions.…”

“…According to Purwanto et al (2019) stated that problem solving is an effective approach in learning to train students to think. One of the strategies that can be used in solving math learning problems is the Polya strategy whose steps can be simplified into four steps, namely (1) understanding the problem, (2) making a solution plan, (3) implementing the plan, and (4) checking back. (9) (Yani et al, 2016) stated that problem solving questions can serve as a tool to observe students' thinking processes in dealing with problems.…”
