The Difference

This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach that aims to describe the cognitive processes of students in solving problems in the number pattern material in terms of the level of students' mathematics anxiety. The instruments used in this study were the mathematics ability test (TKM) to control subject selection, the mathematics anxiety questionnaire (AKM), the problem-solving test (TPM), and the interview guidelines. From several 8th grade students, there are 21 male and 9 female students, one student was selected with a male student with high mathematical ability and high math anxiety and one male student with high mathematical ability and low math anxiety. The results showed that students with high and low math anxiety could solve problems, but there were differences in receiving, processing, storing, and recalling information. Students with low math anxiety check their answers again by processing the information in other ways, while students with high math anxiety do not. With the difference in the cognitive processes of students with math anxiety, teachers are advised to develop appropriate learning methods to reduce students' math anxiety, so that students can improve their thinking skills in mathematics at a higher level with low math anxiety. Keywords: Cognitive, Mathematical Ability, Math Anxiety, and Problem Solving

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.

Constructing Knowledge

Constructivism is the basis for thinking of a contextual approach, namely that knowledge is built not a set of facts, concepts, or rules that are ready to be remembered. Students must construct that knowledge and give meaning through real experience. Students need to be accustomed to solving problems, finding something useful for themselves, and struggling with ideas. The teacher will not be able to give all knowledge to students. Students must construct knowledge in their own minds. Knowledge is not static, but is constantly evolving and changing as students construct new experiences that force them to base themselves and modify previous knowledge.Learning must be packaged into the process of constructing knowledge rather than receiving knowledge. In the learning process, students build their own knowledge through active involvement in the learning and teaching process. Students become the center of activities, not teachers.Critical thinking is an attempt by someone to check the truth of information using the availability of evidence, logic, and awareness of bias. Critical thinking skills are the cognitive processes of students in analyzing systematically and specifically the problems faced, distinguishing these problems carefully and thoroughly, as well as identifying and reviewing information to plan problem solving strategies.

Problem solving is one of several important abilities a student must have. Problem solving is a planned process that mustbe done in order to get a certain solution of a problem that is not obtained immediately. One type of problem studentsmust solve is an open-ended problem. Open-ended problem solving for every student is certainly different from oneanother. The level of mathematical ability of students is one of the factors that influence these differences. This type ofresearch is a qualitative descriptive with the purpose to describe the profile of open-ended problem solving based onPolya’s steps viewed from mathematical ability level of junior high school students. Three students from grade VII arethe subjects in this research (one student having high mathematical ability, one student having moderate mathematicalability, and one student having low mathematical ability). This research uses instruments mathematical ability test, openended problem solving test, and interview guidelines. The results showed there were differences in the open-endedproblem solving profile on students with high, moderate, and low mathematical ability. Student with high mathematicalability can carry out all the steps of Polya’s problem solving. Student with moderate mathematical ability are able to carryout the step of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, however there are indicators that are notfulfilled at looking back’s step they are using the other way to solve the problem and make conclusion. Student with lowmathematical ability can not show the adequacy of the data at understanding the problem’s step and can not carry out thesteps of devising a plan, carrying out the plan and looking back.

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.
