PROFIL PROSES BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA KELAS VIII SMP NEGERI 3 SURAKARTA DALAM MEMECAHKAN MASALAH POKOK BAHASAN SISTEM PERSAMAAN LINEAR DUA VARIABEL (SPLDV) DITINJAU DARI KECERDASAN MAJEMUK DAN GENDER
Abstract: The aim of this
research was to describe the profile of critical thinking process of the
students in grade VIII of State Junior Secondary School 3 of Surakarta in
solving the problems on linear equation of two variables (LETV) viewed from the
multiple intelligence and gender. This research used the descriptive research
method with the qualitative explorative approach. The subjects of the research
were taken by using the purposive sampling technique. The subjects of the
research were four students in Grade VIII of State Junior Secondary School 3 of
Surakarta, one male student and female student with linguistic intelligence,
and one male student and one female student with mathematical-logical
intelligence. The instruments used to gather the data of the research were
multiple intelligence questionnaire, worksheet for mathematical
problem-solving, and interview guidelines. The data were collected through
questionnaire and task-based interview on the learning material of LETV. They
were validated by using the time triangulation and the reference fulfillment.
The data were analyzed using a Miles and Huberman’s concept, that was data
reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results of the research are as
follows. 1) The male and female students
with linguistic intelligence had a good ability to capture information and may
communicate it effectively both written and orally. The critical thinking can
be realized through four phases. However,
the male in the recognition phase, they encounters a difficulty i.e. the
question they mentions is less complete.
In addition, in thinking about alternatives, they are only able to
mention one problem-solving alternative, namely: mixed alternative. 2) The male
and female students with mathematical-logical intelligence are able to think
logically. They are able to do categorization, classification, conclusion
drawing over a problem. The critical
thinking can be realized through four phases. However, in the recognition
phase, they encounters a difficulty i.e. the question they mentions is less
complete. In addition, in thinking about
alternatives, they are only able to mention two problem-solving alternatives,
namely: mixed alternative and substitution alternative.
Keywords: profile of the
process of critical thinking, problem solving, multiple intelligence, and
gender
