MATHEMATICAL REASONING AND SELF REGULATED LEARNING TOWARDS STUDENTS' PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY
This research aims to determine: (1) Are there any differences in problem solvingskills between students who have high, medium and low mathematical reasoning,(2) Are there any differences in problem solving skills between students who havehigh and low self regulated learning, (3) Is there any interaction betweenmathematical reasoning and self regulated learning on problem solving abilities.This research is a comparative causal research with factorial design 3 X 2. Thesubjects of this research were students of class VIII A SMP Ma‟arif 1 Metro. Theinstruments used to collect data are problem solving essay tests, mathematicalreasoning tests and questionnaires for self regulated learning. Hypothesis testingused two-way Anova test with unequal cells while Anava prerequisite test was datanormality test and variant homogeneity test. The conclusions of this research are:(1) There are differences in problem solving abilities between students who havehigh, medium and low mathematical reasoning, (2) There are differences inproblem solving abilities between students who have high and low self regulatedlearning, (3) There are interaction between mathematical reasoning and selfregulated learning on problem solving abilities.
