ANALISIS PROSES BERPIKIR MATEMATIS MAHASISWA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN MASALAH STATISTIKA

Abstract

Each student has a different mathematical thinking process in solving mathematical problems. This study aims to assess the mathematical thinking process of students in solving statistical problems. The subjects of the study were taken by purposive sampling. The subject of the study was 6 students of Islamic Religious Education student who took the fifth semester with high, medium, and low abilities. The instrument used is a ters sheet on statistical material. Data collection techniques through statistical question tests on research data sampling sub-materials. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner. The analysis was conducted through answer sheets of each study subject looking at thought processes based on steps in Bransford and Stein's approach. The results showed that  high-ability students tend to have conceptual mathematical thinking processes, moderately capable students tend to have mathematical thinking process abilities in semiconceptual groups, while low-ability students tend to have competitive mathematical thinking processes.
