This article was prepared based on qualitative research, case studied with research subjects 36 undergraduate students of mathematics education study program FMIPA UNNES in elementary linear algebra. Intended to find out students’ problem solving abilities aspects of algebraic creative thinking and to describe connections between aspects of students creative thinking in solving problems. Aspects of creative thinking include: fluency, flexibility, novelty, and elaboration. Data obtained through tests, observations, and interviews. Based on the analysis of the test results, as many as 17 students reached the minimal criteria which is at least 61, and 15 students worth under 61. This indicates that many students had difficulty in solving problems of elementary linear algebra that contain aspects of creative thinking. The creative thinking character ofstudentsinsolvingproblemsofelementaryalgebrawithaspectsofcreativethinking; based on data analysis, obtained information that students in solving problems generally tend to thought on aspects of fluency.

In connection between aspects of creative thinking there were several sequence patterns in thought when solving problems. Only a few of the four aspects of creative thinking were patterned on the minds of students.

The purpose of this study is to describe the mathematical disposition of students who use blended learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects were four students from the sixth semester of mathematics education study program. The research instrument was a student mathematical disposition questionnaire. The results of the study concluded that the average level of mathematical disposition of students was classified as moderate. If seen from the indicators, only the monitor and evaluate indicators are classified as high category. Indicators of persistence and perseverance, especially when lecturers present interesting contextual problems. Many indicators of curiosity arise when lecturers invite students to be active in learning, for example students are invited to study in groups. Many self-confidence indicators appear when lecturers ask students questions. While many flexible indicators appear when lecturers give open ended questions.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kesulitan belajar yang dialami mahasiswa pada materi aplikasi integral untuk luas daerah dalam perspektif disposisi matematis. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif eksploratif dengan instrumen skala, tes, dokumentasi, dan catatan lapangan. Data diambil dari 80 mahasiswa dari program studi S1 pendidikan matematika di sebuah universitas di Jawa Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa dengan disposisi matematis positif sedang dan tinggi memiliki jenis kesulitan yang sama yaitu (1) kesulitan dalam menggambar grafik, (2) kesulitan dalam menentukan daerah yang dicari luasnya, (3) kesulitan dalam menentukan batas integral, (4) kesulitan dalam menggunakan rumus integral, dan (5) kesulitan dalam memahami integral. Mahasiswa dengan disposisi matematis positif rendah selain mengalami kelima kesulitan tersebut, juga mengalami kesulitan dalam menghitung integral. Terdapat tren atau kecenderungan peningkatan persentase pada 2 jenis kesulitan, dan penurunan persentase pada 1 jenis kesulitan, sedangkan pada 3 jenis kesulitan yang lain bersifat fluktuatif.The purpose of this research was to described the learning difficulties experienced by students in integral application material for the area in the perspective of mathematical dispositions. This research used descriptive exploratory methods with scale, tests, documentation, and field notes instruments. Data was taken from 80 undergraduate students from the mathematics education study program at a university in Central Java. The results showed that students with moderate and high positive mathematical dispositions had the same types of difficulties, namely (1) difficulties in drawing graphics, (2) difficulties in determining the area to be searched for, (3) difficulties in determining integral boundaries, (4) difficulties in using integral formulas, and (5) difficulties in understanding integrals. Students with low positive mathematical dispositions in addition to experienced these five difficulties, also experienced difficulties in calculating integrals. There is a trend or tendency to increase percentage in 2 types of difficulties, and a decrease in percentage in 1 type of difficulty, while in 3 other types fluctuating.

One of the obstacles in designing the PISA like problems is determining the right context in order to make the questions make sense for students to solve. Therefore, this study aims to determine the profile of the context level in the PISA like problems developed by novice researchers, students of the Mathematics Education Study Program in one of university in Palembang, South Sumatra, who conducted a final assignment research on the topic of developing the PISA like problems. The level of context in this study is defined as a matter of mathematical models that use situations that are either found in the real world that make sense in students' understanding. Context level is divided into three, namely camouflage context, contexts that need solutions, and contexts that require mathematical models. Document observation was carried out to collect the profile data about the PISA model through filling in the checklist sheet and quantitative descriptions. The document observed in this activity was 43 items of PISA like problems from the four research subjects involved. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the PISA like problems developed by research subjects are still dominated by questions with a camouflage context that is equal to 53.49%. As many as 41.86% of the questions designed were already accompanied by contexts that needed solutions. However, the number of contexts requiring mathematical models is only 4.65%.

This study aims to describe the solution scheme chosen by students in understanding the isomorphic relation of a graph. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method. Subjects in this study amounted to 35 students from the Mathematics Education Study Program of PGRI Bojonegoro in the fourth semester of the 2017/2018 academic year. Test questions related to the isomorphic understanding of a graph were given to thirty-five students, then six students were selected to be interviewed. Data analysis was carried out by using triangulation. it was done by comparing the data from video interviews and test results data. This is done to ensure the validity and reliability of research. The result of the study shows that the elements of disclosure in the description of student answers were various. It shows that the existence of an operative scheme that is a diverse problem-solving. There was a proof of the gravity of a graph by adding vertices to both graphs comparing and making sure that the numbers are the same, reviewing adjacent, and some are equipped with a matrix. In the element of impact there are those who write conclusions and there are some who do not. Variations in the solution scheme used by students can be used as an evaluation of learning that students are unique so there is a need for continuous innovation related to students center learning.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan skema solusi yang dipilih oleh siswa dalam memahami hubungan isomorfik suatu graf. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif. Subyek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 35 siswa dari Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika PGRI Bojonegoro pada semester keempat tahun akademik 2017/2018. Pertanyaan tes yang berkaitan dengan pemahaman isomorfik grafik diberikan kepada tiga puluh lima siswa, kemudian enam siswa dipilih untuk diwawancarai. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan triangulasi. itu dilakukan dengan membandingkan data dari wawancara video dan data hasil tes. Ini dilakukan untuk memastikan validitas dan reliabilitas penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa elemen pengungkapan dalam deskripsi jawaban siswa beragam. Ini menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan skema operasi yang merupakan pemecahan masalah yang beragam. Ada bukti gravitasi grafik dengan menambahkan simpul ke kedua grafik yang membandingkan dan memastikan bahwa angka-angkanya sama, meninjau yang berdekatan, dan beberapa dilengkapi dengan matriks. Dalam elemen dampak ada orang yang menulis kesimpulan dan ada sebagian yang tidak. Variasi dalam skema solusi yang digunakan oleh siswa dapat digunakan sebagai evaluasi pembelajaran bahwa siswa adalah unik sehingga ada kebutuhan untuk inovasi berkelanjutan yang terkait dengan pembelajaran pusat siswa.
