ANALYSIS OF MATHEMATICAL REASONING ABILITY IN TWO-VARIABLE LINEAR EQUATIONS BASED ON STUDENTS' EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

T This study aims to analyze mathematical reasoning ability in terms of emotional intelligence in solving SPLDV material problems. The indicators used are proposing conjectures, manipulating mathematics, providing reasons or evidence for the correctness of the answer, and drawing conclusions. The research method used is qualitative, with research subjects consisting of 3 students of class VIII-G SMPN 1 Karangnunggal. The instruments used include interviews, emotional intelligence questionnaires, and one mathematical reasoning ability test question. The data collection stages consist of the results of interviews with teachers regarding emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence questionnaires, reasoning ability test results, and data from interviews with students who have filled out the reasoning ability questions. The data collected is simplified to make accurate conclusions. The results of the study show that students with high emotional intelligence can meet all indicators and can solve problems correctly. Students with moderate emotional intelligence can meet 3 indicators of mathematical reasoning ability, namely being able to propose conjectures, being able to manipulate mathematics, and being able to provide reasons or evidence for the correctness of the answer. Students with low emotional intelligence are only able to meet two of the four indicators of mathematical reasoning studied, namely being able to propose conjectures and being able to manipulate mathematics.
