PROSES BERPIKIR SISWA QUITTER PADA SEKOLAH MENENGAH PERTAMA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA
ABSTRACT: This research
question was what the thinking process of the quitter of the junior hig school
students in solving mathematical problems was. This research was an explorative
qualitative research, which was conducted in the grade VII students of the Integrated
Model of State Junior High School of Madani in Palu. The research subject was
only one quitter student. In grouping students into three categories, it was
used an adversity response profile. This research was aimed to describe the
thinking process of the quitter, camper and climber of the junior high school
students in solving mathematical problems. The research findings were that the
thinking process of the quitter student in understanding and devising a plan to
solve mathematical problems was reflective abstraction and assimilation at
once. In carrying out the plan and looking back the solution of the
mathematical problems, she did the thinking process with pseudoempirical
abstraction and assimilation at once. He was able to mention that the given case
was: Aman had 14 more candies than Budi had, the number of their candies is 56,
and then asked: how many candies did each has? She could identify the case
given and asked by looking at statement and the interrogative or imperative
sentences of the mathematical problems. She planned to solve problems as the
following: providing 56 candies, giving 14 candies to Aman, sharing two groups
candies left, counting candies which each had. She carried out problems as the
following: (1) taking 56 candies from a can, (2) giving 14 candies to Aman, (3)
giving 1 candy to Aman and 1 candy to Budi and so forth until the remainder was
zero, each of both Aman and Budi recieved 21 candies, and (4) counting their
candies which each had, Aman received 35 candies and Budi received 21 candies.
She looked back the solution as the following: (1) taking 35 candies, taking 21
candies, they were combined to be 56 candies to check the conformity to the
case given, namely, the number of their candies as 56, (2) taking 35 candies, taking
21 candies, they were taken away to be 14 candies to check the conformity to
the case given, namely, Aman’s candies were 14 more than Budi’s. The quitter
student manipulated the concrete object in solving problems and looking back
the solution of the solution of the problems.
