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.

This study aims to produce Linear Algebra module for mathematics education students. This type of research is research development (R & D) with Plomp development model. The Plomp development model consists of five phases, namely: initial investigation phase, design phase, realization/construction phase, test phase, evaluation, and revision, and implementation phase. This research was conducted on students of mathematics education program of FKIP Samudra State University. Instruments used are in the form of validation sheet, test sheet and the questionnaire. The results showed that the Linear Algebra module that has been developed already met the aspects of good module quality, namely: the feasibility test module, Linear Algebra module that has been developed is valid based on the expert assessment; effectiveness test, where Linear Algebra module has an impact on the level of mastery and understanding of students on good criteria; test of practicality, where the result of questionnaire of practicality analysis shows that the module that has been developed can be implemented and used by the students.

This study aims to analyze the achievement of each indicator that measures the ability of students' mathematical understanding on the subjects of elementary linear algebra. This research is a qualitative descriptive research that seeks to describe the the ability of students' mathematical understanding analysis. The subjects of the study were students of level 2 mathematics education with 2 clasess consisting of 33 students. Data collection methods used includethe ability of  students' mathematical test in elementary linear algebra which includes material of linear equation system, matrix and determinat. Based on the result of the research, it is concluded that the level of the ability of students' mathematical understanding elementary linear algebra is as follows: There are 6 students who got score below 50, there are 5 students who got score between 51 and 60, there are 9 students got score between 61 and 70, there are 5 students got score between 71 and 80, there are 6 students got score between 81 and 90 and there are 2 students got score 91 and up. Keywords: The Ability of Students' Mathematical Understanding, Elementary Linear Algebra.

Although created mainly for other purposes, spreadsheets appear to be useful in mathematics education. For instance, Russell (1992) writes about spreadsheet activities in middle school mathematics in his book with the same title. In a Mathematics Teacher article, Hunt (1995) describes how he uses spreadsheets to teach students synthetic substitution, synthetic division, and Newton's method. Our experience shows that the same tool can be useful for performing matru operations and, further on, for introducing students to basic concepts of linear algebra. The interested reader can find additional examples of using spreadsheets in high school mathematics in Sjostrand's (1994) book, which deals with Excel spreadsheets.

This paper presents the results and the conclusions that we have drawn from the analysis made following two surveys conducted with the first years' students from the Faculty of Navigation and Naval Management from "Mircea cel Batran" Naval Academy in the second semester of the academic year 2017-2018. The aim was to find out, in the students' understanding, which is the importance of Linear Algebra, Analytical Geometry and Differential Geometry in the educational process. Both surveys sought to emerge from the tradition of teaching classical mathematics, structured on programs that have not undergone much change over time, which was based on exacerbated formalism, abstracting and disregard for the exceptional advances of science and technology from the last decades.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan penalaran matematis dan mengetahui faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kemampuan penalaran matematis dalam mata kuliah Aljabar Linear Elementer mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif menggunakan pupulasi semua mahasiswa angkatan 2017 dengan sampel 72 orang. Teknik pengumpulan data secara tes tertulis, wawancara dan dokumentasi, dengan teknik analisis statistic deskriptif. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah kemampuan penalaran matematis mahasiswa semester II Jurusan Pendidikan Matematika berada pada kategori sedang. Berdasarkan indikator kemampuan penalaran matematis mahasiswa jika dirata-ratakan persentasenya adalah 51,52%. Meskipun terbilang sedang, masih banyak kemampuan-kemampuan yang ditemukan masih tergolong rendah. Indikator yang paling tinggi berada pada kemampuan menarik kesimpulan logis yaitu sebesar 76,53%. Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kemampuan penalaran matematis pada mata kuliah Aljabar Linear Elementer mahasiswa semester II Jurusan Pendidikan Matematika adalah faktor internal yaitu minat dan konsentrasi, dimana dalam meningkatkan pemahaman logika mahasiswa, hal ini tentunya berkaitan dengan meningkatkan daya nalar. Hal yang serupa terdapat pada disiplin ilmu matematika yang mampu membuat nalar mahasiswa semakin kritis. Selanjutnya faktor eksternal yaitu perangkat pembelajaran, peran dosen dan lingkungan belajar. AbstractThis study aims to determine the ability of mathematical reasoning and to determine the factors that influence the ability of mathematical reasoning in the Elementary Linear Algebra course of students. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach using a population of all 2017 students with a sample of 72 people. Data collection techniques are written tests, interviews and documentation, with descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The results obtained are the mathematical reasoning abilities of second semester students of the Mathematics Education Department are in the medium category. Based on the indicators of students' mathematical reasoning abilities, if the average percentage is 51.52%. Even though it is fairly moderate, there are still many abilities that are found that are still relatively low. The highest indicator is in the ability to draw logical conclusions, which is 76.53%. The factors that influence the mathematical reasoning ability in the Elementary Linear Algebra course for second semester students of the Mathematics Education Department are internal factors, namely interest and concentration, where in improving students' understanding of logic, this is of course related to increasing reasoning power. The same thing is found in the discipline of mathematics which is able to make students' reasoning more critical. Furthermore, external factors are learning devices, the role of lecturers and the learning environment.
