The descriptive research aims to diagnose the difficulties of secondary school students in understanding Cube and Rectangular Prism. Geometry test and interview are used as the instrument. The subjects are 3 seventh grade students who respectively represent high, medium and low ability in mathematics. This research finds that the students have difficulties in understanding the properties of a cube and rectangular prism, inventing the surface area, and using the formula to determine the surface area. The difficulty in using the formula to solve related problems is an effect of memorizing ready-made formula without understanding so the students are easy to forget it. The alternative ways to cope with the difficulties are: (a) Using computer application (PowerPoint, Ms. Word with SmartArt Graphic) and other current software like Cabri Geometry, The Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP), Geometry Expert, Logo, Geogebra, and Wingeom; (b) Activating students’ prior knowledge about plane which explains the side of the solid figures; (c) Implementing guided discovery learning with students’ worksheet; and (d) giving variation exercises involving contextual or non-contextual problems.

[Bahasa]: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendiagnosis kesulitan belajar siswa SMP dalam mehamai materi kubus balok dan menemukan alternatif pemecahannya. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tes geometri dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam menguasai konsep kubus dan balok, menemukan rumus luas permukaan kubus balok, dan menggunakan rumus luas permukaan kubus dan balok. Kesulitan menggunakan rumus pada penyelesaian soal sebagai akibat dari menghafal rumus siap pakai, sehingga siswa sering lupa dengan rumus. Alternatif pemecahan kesulitan belajar siswa tersebut, yaitu: (a) Menggunakan aplikasi komputer (Power point, Ms Word dengan SmartArt Graphic) dan software seperti Cabri Geometry, The Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP), Geometry Expert, Logo, Geogebra, dan Wingeom; (b) Mengaktifkan dengan baik materi prasyarat tentang bangun datar yang menjelaskan sisi-sisi pada bangun ruang; (c) Menerapkan metode penemuan terbimbing menggunakan LKS terbimbing; dan (d) memperbanyak mengerjakan latihan soal baik yang bersifat kontekstual maupun soal-soal yang bersifat non-kontekstual.

En el presente trabajo se pretende dar a conocer las creencias que tienen los estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria acerca de la diversidad funcional, a partir de un estudio principalmente de carácter descriptivo realizado mediante la técnica de encuesta aplicada a 442 adolescentes de entre doce y dieciocho años, tanto de la Región de Murcia como de la Comunidad Valenciana. Los resultados muestran que los adolescentes que han crecido en una sociedad considerada inclusiva tienen una opinión respetuosa y beneficiosa respecto a la integración de personas con diversidad funcional en la sociedad, si bien esta opinión está vinculada, entre otros aspectos, al centro en el que estudie o a la relación con la discapacidad. This article presents Compulsory Secondary Education students’ beliefs on functional diversity. The study adopted a mainly descriptive research design based on the administration of surveys to 442 adolescents between the ages of twelve and eighteen, both in the Region of Murcia and the Valencian Community. The results show that these adolescents, in having grown up in a society considered inclusive, have respectful and positive opinions regarding the integration in society of people with functional diversity. These opinions are linked, among other aspects, to the secondary school students attend and to their relationship with disability.
