Commognitive Analysis Of Students' Errors In Solving High Order Thinking Skills Problems
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to describe the commognitive analysis of students' errors in solving High order thinking skills problems. The problem of this study is that students have difficulty of solving mathematical problems because students do not build their own knowledge of mathematical concepts but tend to memorize concepts so that when students solve math problems students often make mistakes and do not find solutions to solve these problems. Students also taught themselves that math is difficult. This type of research is a qualitative description. The research subjects were three grade X students of Senior High school 1 Pamekasan. The instruments used in this study were mathematical problem seets and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that students experienced faults in 1) word use (mistake writting mathematical symbol and not consisstent in writting naming. the factors are hasty, inaccurate, not understanding the questions, incomplete writing is known, and asked, not understanding the material.); 2) Visual mediator (mistakes in drawing or illustrating the problem. Student is not using visual mediators, some students use visual mediators but are still wrong and use it,); 3) Narrative (not writing the formula but writing the results directly. Student mistakes also occur because students do not know the strategy that will be used to solve them, while the students' mistakes made at this stage are: students are wrong in writing the formula definition sine and wrong for not writing the formula.); 4) Routine (inaccurate in arithmetic operations so that the final answer is wrong. The mistakes of some students in general in doing routine are the students doing wrong calculations, wrong in substituting values or numbers that are known in the formula.). With this research, teachers can find out where the difficulties and misconceptions of students are in doing it so that it becomes new learning for students to improve learning outcomes and minimize errors.
