Abstrak. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif yang bersifat kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis ditinjau dari kemampuan awal matematika dan perbedaan gender. Subjek penelitian ini adalah enam orang siswa Keenam siswa dipilih berdasarkan nilai Tes Kemampuan Matematika yang terbagi dalam kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah dengan dua orang masing-masing satu laki-laki dan satu perempuan yang mewakili tiap tingkatan kemampuan matematika pada materi SPLDV dengan mengambil nilai tertiggi dari tiap kategori kemampuan. Keenam subjek diberikan TesKemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika I dan TesKemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika II dalam waktu yang berbeda. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis kualitatif.Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Indikator menyebutkan hal-hal yang diketahui dan ditanyakan dimiliki oleh semua subjek, (2) Indikatormembuat rencanapenyelesaian masalah dari hal-halyang diketahui untukpemecahan masalahdimiliki oleh semua subjek, (3) Indikator melaksanakanpemecahan masalah melaluirencana yang telah dibuat dimiliki oleh semua subjek, (4) Indikator melakukan pemeriksaan kembali terhadapjawaban yang sudah adadimiliki oleh semua subjek.Kata kunci: penelitian kualitatif, kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis, kemampuan awal matematika, perbedaan gender, sistem persamaan linear dua variabelAbstact. This research is a qualitative descriptive research that aims to describe the ability of problem solving mathematically viewed from the early ability of mathematics and gender differences. The subjects of this study were six students. The six students were selected based on the Mathematics Ability test scores divided into high, medium, and low categories with two men each and one woman representing each level of math skills on SPLDV material by taking the highest grades from each capability category. The six subjects were given the Mathematical Problem Solving Ability Test I and the Mathematics Problem Solving Ability Test II at different times. Data analysis techniques using qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicate that: (1) Indicators mention things that are known and questioned by all subjects, (2) Indicators to make problem-solving plans from things known for problem solving are shared by all subjects, (3) Indicators carry out problem solving through a plan that has been made owned by all subjects, (4) Indicators of re-examination of existing answers owned by all subjects.Keywords: Qualitative research, mathematical problem solving skills, early math ability, gender differences, two-variable linear equations system

Online Feedback

This study examined the relative efficacies of two different metacognitive teaching methods – problem solving (M_PS) and sharing knowledge (M_SK). Seventy-two Israeli sixth-grade students engaged in online mathematical problem solving and were each supported using one of the two aforementioned methods. M_PS students used a problem-solving and feedback process based on the IMPROVE model (Kramarski & Mevarech, 2003). In contrast, M_SK participants were instructed to reflect and provide feedback on the solution without an explicit model. This study evaluated each method‘s impact on the students’ mathematical online problem solving. It also examined self-regulated learning (SRL) processes by assessing students‘ online feedback using a rubric scheme. Findings indicated that M_PS students outperformed the M_SK students in algebraic knowledge and mathematical reasoning, as well as on various measures of sharing cognitive and metacognitive feedback. The M_SK students outperformed the M_PS students on measures of sharing motivational and social feedback.

Problem Solving Behavior

These Students' mathematical problem solving behavior had been presented in the previous paper. Four categories of students' mathematical problem solving behavior in junior high schools in Indonesia had been obtained. These categories were: naive, routine, semi-sophisticated, and sophisticated. This paper was a continuation of that research. In this session would discuss about external aspects affect student behavior in problem solving. This research used survey method. Eighteen students from three junior high schools in Indonesia had been interviewed about it. These three aspects were: distance of home from school, family background, Contests-contests like math Olympiads that had been followed. The interview results were coded to get conclusions. Research findings were that the external aspects of students did not influence students in behaving to solve problems in mathematics. the implication of this finding is that the main factor influencing student behavior in problem solving is teacher professionalism in learning not from the students themselves, so the teacher must be really prepared in designing all components of learning well.

Learning Principles

The aim of this study was to test a method to assess the processes involved in mathematical problem solving, based on the Triple Task methodology and Self - Regulated Learning principles. This protocol was administered to 510 fifth and sixth grade students from Northern Spain, who carried out two mathematical tasks of varying difficulty. The results derived from the total sample indicated the presence of ineffective planning strategies and a lack of revision mechanisms. However, comparisons between groups with different achievement in the tasks revealed the sub - processes involved in planning (especially the use of representation strategies) as important determining factors in students' success rates, with these exerting a greater effect as task - difficulty increased.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

We examined the effectiveness of a differentiated instruction intervention in promoting 6th grade students' mathematics self-efficacy (MSE), mathematics learning motives (MLM), and mathematical problem-solving skills (MPSS). The relationships among MSE, MLM, and MPSS were also assessed. We employed a longitudinal approach with a pretest and posttest design with 25 students, and used 3 instruments for quantitative data collection. Findings showed that the application of the differentiated instruction learning environment was significantly beneficial in advancing the students' MSE, MLM, and MPSS. In addition, MSE significantly predicted MLM and MPSS, such that the mediating effect of MLM on the effect of MSE on MPSS was partial. This finding shows that the stronger the MSE of 6th grade students is, the better their MLM are, which, in turn, advance their MPSS.
