Analisis Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Cerita Pecahan

Abstract

The background that drives this research is the difficulty of students in working on problem solving problems in the form of story problems, namely their inability to translate story problems into a mathematical model. problems in solving fraction story questions. The approach to be carried out in this study is a qualitative descriptive research approach. Data collection in this study was carried out by means of written tests, interviews, and documentation. Taking the subject in this study using purposive sampling technique. Interviews were conducted with research subjects and class teachers. Based on the results of this study, the problem solving ability of students in the low category is that students have not been able to understand problems, plan solutions, do calculations, and are still very little attention in checking / reinterpreting. The problem solving ability of students in the medium category is that students are quite capable of understanding problems, compiling resolution plans, doing calculations, but the ability to interpret / check back is still lacking. The problem-solving ability of students in the high category is that students are able to understand problems, compile a solution plan, carry out calculations, but in interpreting / checking back, there is still less attention in solving fraction story questions.
