Analysis of Students' Problem Solving Skills on the Material of Two-Variable Linear Equation System

Ratih Indriati, Kana Hidayati

Abstract


This research aims to describe students' problem solving skills. This type of research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The subjects in this study were VIII grade students totaling 33 students. The process of taking subjects through purposive sampling technique. The data collection techniques used were tests, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques using Miles and Huberman, namely data reduction, data display, and verification. Data validation with triangulation. The result of this study is the problem solving ability of students in grade VIII of one of the State Junior High Schools in Yogyakarta on the material of the system of linear equations of two variables is included in the low category. This can be seen from the number of students who have problem solving skills in the low category of more than 50%. Students who have problem solving skills in high qualifications are only 27%. Students who have moderate problem solving ability amounted to 9%. The remaining 64% have low problem solving skills.

Keywords
