Problem Solving Behavior

Problem solving behavior make further information about behavior of students to understand contextual mathematical problems and their solutions. The different behaviors shown by students to each other shows how to steps, abilities, and understanding of students in solving contextual mathematical problems. It is important for students and teachers to know the problem solving behaviors in order to improve understanding and ability to solve contextual mathematical problems. Mathematics anxiety can influence students in soling mathematical problems. Given the importance of students problem solving behavior in learning mathematics, teachers need to know students problem solving behavior in solving contextual mathematical problems based on mathematics anxiety. This study investigate problem solving behavior of students with low and high mathematical anxiety in solving contextual mathematical problems. Subjects in this study were four students of Junior High School, consists each of the two students from each mathematics anxiety group, low and high. Four students were given contextual mathematical problem solving test to investigate about problem solving behavior. Classification of students mathematics anxiety levels is determined through the mathematics anxiety questionnaire score of each student. The results of this research showed that students problem solving behavior with high mathematics anxiety were categorized in Direct Translation Approach-proficient (DTA-p) dan Direct Translation Approach-not proficient (DTA-np) category. Students behavior with low mathematics anxiety were categorized in the category of Meaning Based Approach-justification (MBA-j). The difference in problem solving behavior from two categories of mathematics anxiety is in re-reading the problem, linking concepts, deciding strategies, using context in calculations and final answer, and providing an explanation at each step of the solution. Students problem solving behavior with low mathematics anxiety was better than students problem solving behavior with high mathematics anxiety.

The Difference

Problem-solving ability is a characteristic of mathematical activities and a major ability in developing mathematical understanding. Mathematical problem-solving ability can be seen from several dimensions, one of which is cognitive style. Cognitive style is a unique way for each individual to acquire, process, store, use the information to respond to tasks or situations, and build knowledge. FD and FI cognitive styles are one type of cognitive style that are categorized by general ways of thinking, solving problems, learning, and dealing with other people so that they have a relationship with problem-solving abilities. The subjects in this study involved 72 students (around the age of 13-14 years), namely 33 students with FD cognitive style and 39 students with FI cognitive style. The problem-solving ability test instrument in this study was a mathematical problem-solving ability test that had been validated by experts and tested for reliability. The cognitive style test instrument is the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) item developed by Witkin. The problem-solving ability of junior high school students with FI cognitive style is better than FD students even though the difference is not much different.

Hasil tersebut menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah materi menggunakan rumus keliling dan luas segiempat dalam menyelesaikan masalah melalui penerapan “Rute EMAS” sebagai salah satu desain Math Trail suatu pembelajaran matematika. Kata kunci: kemampuan pemecahan masalah, desain Math Trail.   ABSTRACT This research is motivated by many students who lack the ability and willingness to learn, so learning is something difficult and boring, especially mathematics, and considers mathematics to be a lesson that is less useful in everyday life. One of the causes is a sense of boredom, difficulties and fears of students towards mathematics and the presumption of the uselessness of mathematics in everyday life, especially geometry and measurement material. In the end it weakens the creativity and independence of students in learning. The purpose of this study was to improve the mathematical problem solving abilities of the surrounding and wide-area quadrilateral in students of class VII A in 33 State Junior High School Semarang by applying "Golden Route" as one of the Math Trail designs for learning outside the classroom. On the "Math Trail" map or each exploration point of instruction students can form, discuss, and solve interesting mathematical problems. Math Trail activities can be done alone or in groups to work together to solve problems. This research is a classroom action research covering 4 steps: planning, actuating, observation, and reflecting. The results showed that the results of the class average tests in the first and second cycles had increased from 73.66 to 75.05 and the percentage of students who received a minimum score of 67 was 23 students (74.19)% to 27 students (87.10 %). These results indicate an increase in the ability of material problem solving using the circumference formula and square area in solving problems through the application of "EMAS Routes" as one of the Math Trail designs in a mathematics learning. Keywords: problem solving, math trail design.

And Performance

In research focused on self-efficacy it is usually teacher-related phenomena that are studied, while the main aspects related to pupils are rather neglected, although self-efficacy itself is perceived as a belief in one’s own abilities. Evidently, this strongly influences the behavior of individuals in terms of the goal and success in mathematical problem-solving. Considering that alternative teaching methods are based on the principle of belief in one’s own ability (mainly in the case of group work), higher self-efficacy can be expected in the pupils of teachers who use predominantly the well-working pupil-centered pedagogies. A total of 1133 pupils in grade 5 from 36 schools in the Czech Republic were involved in the testing of their ability to solve mathematical problems and their mathematical self-efficacy as well. Participants were divided according to the above criteria as follows: (i) 73 from Montessori primary schools, (ii) 332 pupils educated in mathematics according to the Hejný method, (iii) 510 pupils from an ordinary primary school, and (iv) 218 pupils completing the Dalton teaching plan. In the field of mathematical problem-solving the pupils from the Montessori primary schools clearly outperformed pupils from the Dalton Plan schools (p = 0.027) as well as pupils attending ordinary primary schools (p = 0.009), whereas the difference between the Montessori schools and Hejný classes was not significant (p = 0.764). There is no statistically significant difference in the level of self-efficacy of pupils with respect to the preferred strategies for managing learning activities (p = 0.781). On the other hand, correlation between mathematical problem-solving and self-efficacy was confirmed in all the examined types of schools. However, the correlation coefficient was lower in the case of the pupils from the classes applying the Hejný method in comparison with the pupils attending the Montessori schools (p = 0.073), Dalton Plan schools (p = 0.043), and ordinary primary schools (p = 0.002). Even though the results in mathematical problem-solving are not consistent across the studies, the presented results confirm better performance of pupils in some constructivist settings, particularly in the case of individual constructivism in the Montessori primary schools. The factors influencing lower correlation of self-efficacy and performance in mathematical problem-solving ought to be subject to further investigation.
