Mathematical Connection

This study aimed at describing the mathematical connection profile of Junior High School students in solving mathematical problems based on gender difference. The subjects were two eighth grade students who had the same math ability. They were one male student and one female student. Subjects were selected by giving a math ability test, and based on the same scores at a middle level. The research type was exploration with a qualitative approach. Data were taken by interviewing the subject in depth on the basis of Task problem-solving. The problem-solving task contained narrative matter related to Geometry matter and Social Arithmetic. Data credibility used time triangulation. Data analysis was done by data categorization, data reduction, data display, data interpretation, and conclusion. The research results showed that male student connected and used mathematical ideas in the Abstrak : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk men deskripsikan profil koneksi matematis siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama dalam memecahkan masalah matematika berdasarkan perbedaan gender.form of facts, concepts/principles, and mathematical symbols in sufficient quantity, and they were linked appropriately and the mathematical ideas connection were used effectively so that it could solve problems correctly. The female student made a connection with mathematical ideas in excessive quantity and the connection was not appropriate, so the student could not solve the problem correctly. This indicated that mathematical connection profile of male student in solving mathematical problems was an efficient, strong, and effective category. On the other hand, the mathematical connection profile of female student in solving mathematical problems was in the category of inefficient, weak, and ineffective. From this result, it is suggested to the math teachers to create a learning process that is able to facilitate all students to practice improving their mathematical connection ability so they are able to succeed in solving mathematical problems.

Aspects of creative thinking skills used in this study are fluency, flexibility, and novelty. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The instruments used were open-ended questions consisting of algebra and geometry questions, mathematics anxiety questionnaires, and interview guidelines. The study was conducted in class IX E of SMPI Al Azhar 12 Rawamangun Jakarta. The subject of this study consisted of four students, they are male student with low mathematics anxiety, female student with low mathematics anxiety, male student with medium mathematics anxiety, and female student with medium mathematics anxiety. The results of the mathematics anxiety questionnaire showed that none of the students in class IX E had high math anxiety. There are differences in the fulfillment of aspects of creative thinking in terms of differences in mathematics anxiety and gender levels. Students with low math anxiety fulfill aspects of fluency, flexibility, and novelty in algebra and geometry questions. Students with medium math anxiety fulfill aspects of fluency and flexibility both in algebra and geometry questions. Female students fulfill aspects of fluency, flexibility, and novelty both in algebra and geometry questions. Male students fulfill aspects of fluency and flexibility in algebra questions, while in geometry questions the aspects that are fulfilled are fluency, flexibility, and novelty.

This study was survey research using the quantitative and kualitative approach. The subjects of this research were 124 students of private junior high schools in Sleman, DIY, which were from four different school groups in the high, middle, and low categories. The sample was established using the stratified proportional random sampling technique. The instruments which were used namely diagnostic test that consisted of 5 items, self-efficacy questionnaire, and interview guides. The results indicate that students’ difficulties in solving story form mathematical problems lie on factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and metacognitive knowledge. The types of difficulties experienced by students include remembering fact, remembering concept, understanding facts, understanding concept, applying concept, applying procedure, analyzing procedure, evaluating fact, evaluating concept, evaluating procedure, and communicating metacognitive. Difficulty factors that grade VIII students experience in solving story form mathematical problems include: students feel that the time given is not enough, easily give up, are not meticulous enough, oftenly forget, and are anxious and impatient while solving the problems. The self-efficacy of 124 students can be categorized as high with an average score of 90.4.Keywords: analysis of students’ difficulties, self-efficacy, mathematics problem solving, story problem.

One factor in learning mathematics is the need for communication skills. Carpenter & Gorg (2000: 60) states "Communication is an essential part of mathematics and mathematics education", which means that communication is an important part of mathematics and mathematics education. Mathematical communication is related to problem solving, because with the existence of mathematical communication students will understand better in solving mathematical problems. This qualitative descriptive study aims to describe the written mathematics communication of junior high school students in solving mathematical problems in terms of students' mathematical abilities. The data obtained came from three subjects, namely VIII grade junior high school students who had received the material system of two-variable linear equations (SPLDV). The three subjects consisted of students with high mathematical abilities, students with moderate mathematical abilities, and students with low mathematical abilities. The results of this study are the accuracy of writing mathematics for high ability and medium ability students is declared accurate, but low abilities is not declared accurate. In the completeness aspect, high ability and medium ability students written mathematics communication is complete for any information that has been submitted. But, student with low abilities is not complete. In the aspect of fluency, students with high abilities are able to communicate fluently in mathematics, but students with moderate and low abilities cannot fluently. .

The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the mathematical connections of junior high school students on the concepts of ratio and proportion. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data triangulation. The research participants were four junior high school students in Sukabumi. The instrument used in this study consisted of a description test of three questions that had been consulted with experts and based on considerations regarding indicators of mathematical connection ability. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the ability of students to recognize and use connections between mathematical ideas is 50%, the ability of students to connect and apply mathematical concepts with other disciplines is 50%, and the ability of students to connect and apply mathematical concepts to problems in everyday life with a percentage of 50%. The results showed that the mathematical connection ability of some junior high school students in Sukabumi on the concept of comparison was included in the poor category.

This research is motivated by the lack of connection capabilities junior high school students in Bandung West. This study will examine the achievement of matemati connection capabilities of students usinglearning reciprocalteaching with the usual approach. The method used is an experimental method to design pretest-posttest control group, ie design involving at least two groups and randomly sampling classes. At the beginning and end of the study both classes were given the test. The population in this sample is the entire junior high school students in Bandung West whose characteristics have a low ability mathematical connections. Of the entire junior high school in West Bandung randomly selected and elected SMP Negeri Bandung Barat representing the characteristics of the population. The sample was selected randomly, where class G into the experimental class VIII, and VIII F be the class of the control. Collecting data in this study using a test description that has been tested first, and then score the mathematical connection capabilities of students were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using two different test average. Based on the results, good data analysis and hypothesis testing, with α = 0.05 mathematical connection capability turns the achievement of students usinglearning model reciprocal teaching is better than the students who used the usual approach
