It is difficult for junior high school teachers to position and nurture their students who are still in transition in creative thinking when solving math problems. This study evaluates students' creative thinking process based on Wallas model (2014). The four stages of the creative thinking process according to Wallas include the preparatory, incubation, illumination, and verification phases. The purpose of this study is to describe the creative thinking process of students based on their basic ability level in solving math problems. This research applies giving test of geometric crater thinking ability by looking at homogenous student in kemampuandan interview for deepening. Subjects of junior high school students who categorized on the ability of high, medium, and low after the ability test. Variable of this research is the existence of junior high school students in solving math problems. By using qualitative descriptive method, data is analyzed through classification stage, data representation, and conclusion. In order to complete the results of data groupings used interview techniques to perform data triangulation. The results showed 1) there were 23.33% of students not complete and only reached the preparation stage, called the low category category; 2) there are 60% of students reach the illumination stage even though to this stage students take a long time, called the middle category category; And 3) 16.67% of students have been completed until the verification stage, called the high category category. Based on the deepening of the triangulation of the interviews, the students are correct in that category. For students with low and medium capability categories still require assistance when experiencing barriers to their creative thinking process, while high ability category students need enrichment material

Too often it is assumed that mathematically talented students, through some sort of magical osmosis, are inherently good problem solvers. This is not true. Bright junior high school students need to have opportunities to systematically develop, practice, and refine their analytical thinking skills.

Students still have difficulty in solving contextual math problems. It is because students are not used to solving problems using diverse mathematical representations. The representation can make it easier for students to solve abstract math problems. This study aims to determine and identify the types of errors and factors made by students in mathematical representation ability test questions. This study's subjects were 20 students of class VIII-H at SMPN 1 Cugenang on the Surface Area of Cube and Cuboid. The method used is qualitative. The process of collecting data is observation, written test, interview. The results showed that the level of students' mathematical representation ability based on indicators: (1) was 41% on the indicator using visual representations to solve problems and make geometrical drawings to clarify problems and facilitate resolution, (2) by 64% on indicators of problem-solving by involving mathematical expressions, (3) 61% of indicators create problem situations based on data or representations given. Furthermore, based on the analysis of students' answers in tests on a matter of mathematical representation ability, students making mistakes that are data errors, using definitions or theorems, and technicalities. Factors causing students to make mistakes are forgetfulness, lack of accuracy, learning difficulties, family environment.

The main purpose of this study is to answer the following question. Is there any influence of junior high school student’s opinion on the importance of the National Examination against the 2018 National Examination results because currently the National Examination is no longer a determinant of graduation? The population of this study was junior high school students participated in the National Examination in 2018. The data in this study were in the form of test scores and students’ answers to questionnaires in 34 provinces throughout Indonesia. Filling out questionnaires was carried out voluntarily on the last day of the National Examination, so the number of respondents filling out the questionnaire was 3.224.331 from 37.859 junior high school students. The number of respondents is the sample in this study. Based on the results of the t-test analysis obtained as follows. The influence of student opinions stating that the UN is important and not important to the 2018 UN results even though the UN is not a determinant of graduation is proven. This means that there is a significant influence (P <0,000) of the student's opinions towards the 2018 National Examination results for subjects: Indonesian, English, Mathematics, and Science, (Sig. 0,000). Most of the SMP / MTs students amount to 199.222 (90.7%) stated that the National Examination was important, while students who stated that the UN was not important were 20.340 (9.3%) students. The conclusion is that there is an influence of the junior high school students’ opinion about the importance of the National Examination towards the 2018 UN results even though the National Examination is not a determinant of graduation.

This research aims to describe the level of geometric thinking and geometric thinking processes of Junior High School students according to van Hiele's level of thinking on the topic of quadrilaterals. The qualitative approach is the research method used in this study through a case study method by testing the Van Hiele Geometry Test (VHGT) which was adapted from Usiskin's CDASSG and conducting interviews about the thinking process in the form of identifying, defining, and classifying which was adapted from the interview guide of Burger and Shaughnessy (1986). The subjects of this study were 297 grade VII and VIII students from two schools located in the Lembang sub-district. The results of the VHGT test showed that there were 81 students counting level 0 (visualization). The results showed that the students of class VII and VIII level 0 were as follows: 1) students were able to recognize the types of quadrangle but still affected by the prototype, 2) students were not able to classify quadrilaterals, and 3) overall description of the geometric thinking process level 0 in the form of identifying, defining, and classifying aspects according to van Hiele's thinking characteristics in general.

This research aims at designing an Android-based mobile application for language learning (MALL) for the final exam simulation of the English subject for junior high school students. The method used in building the Android-based mobile application is the software development life cycle (SDLC). Based on the implementation of user design and testing, the user (teacher and students) can do a test by using an application that runs on the Android platform. The Android device will request (get / post) to the server via the internet. Then the web server (PHP) will process the request from Android and will query the database. The computer then sends data to the Android device via JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It is as an intermediary between the server and the Android application. The name of this application is SOUN that stands for “Soal Ujian Nasional” or the National Examination Questions. The teacher can manage the questions and see the scores that the students have achieved. While the students can practice answering the questions of English exercises independently, anytime and anywhere both online and offline. They can also see the score immediately based on the questions that they answered. They also know the solution, tricks, and tips on doing the exercises by choosing the menu provided. Therefore, the use of MALL as the learning media can become one of the alternative English learning models in order to prepare the students for practicing the simulations of the national examination

Abstract. This study aims to describe the thinking process of students at the extended abstract level. The descriptive method used in this research is a qualitative approach. The instruments in this study included written test sheets and interview guides. Data analysis techniques used data collection, data reduction, display data, and concluding. The research subjects were two students who had reached the Extended abstract level on the SOLO taxonomy. The results of this study show that students at the extended abstract taxonomy level SOLO can understand the use of variables as generalizations of a number. Still, the majority representation component has not reached the representation indicator by making mathematical modeling in the form of an equation so that they cannot make a hypothesis or prediction in solving the problem related to algebra.   Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan proses berpikir siswa pada level Extended Abstract. Metode deskriptif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Instrumen pada penelitian ini meliputi lembar tes tertulis dan pedoman wawancara. Teknik analisis data menggunakan pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Subyek penelitian merupakan siswa yang telah mencapai level extended abstract pada taksonomi SOLO yang diambil secara purposif sebanyak 2 siswa. Hasil dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa siswa pada level extended abstract taksonomi SOLO dapat memahami penggunaan variabel sebagai generalisasi suatu bilangan akan tetapi pada komponen representasi mayoritas belum mencapai indikator representasi dengan membuat pemodelan matematis berupa suatu persamaan sehingga tidak dapat membuat suatu hipotesa atau prediksi dalam penyelesaian masalah yang berkaitan dengan aljabar.
