ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' MATHEMATICAL CONCEPT UNDERSTANDING ABILITY IN ALGEBRA

Understanding of mathematical concepts is an ability that understand mathematical ideas that are comprehensive and functional. So understanding concepts is an important element in learning mathematics. This study aims to determine students' understanding of mathematical concepts in algebraic material. The type of research used by researchers is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this study were seventh-grade students in one of the public junior high schools in Karawang district, totaling 40 students. The results of the study found that students still have difficulty in working on test questions due to a lack of understanding of the concepts given, especially in linking various mathematical concepts internally or externally. It can be concluded that students have an understanding of mathematical concepts categorized as “Medium” in algebraic material. Pemahaman konsep matematika adalah suatu kemampuan yang memahami ide – ide matematika yang menyeluruh dan fungsional. Sehingga pemahaman konsep merupakan unsur penting dalam belajar matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemahaman konsep matematis siswa pada materi aljabar. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan peneliti yaitu kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini siswa kelas VII di salah satu SMP negeri yang ada di kabupaten karawang yang berjumlah 40 siswa. Hasil penelitian ditemukan siswa masih mengalami kesulitan dalam mengerjakan soal tes karena kurangnya pemahaman terhadap konsep yang diberikan, terutama dalam mengaitkan berbagai konsep matematika secara internal atau eksternal. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa siswa memiliki pemahaman konsep matematis yang berkategori “Sedang” dalam materi aljabar.

Abstract

Understanding of mathematical concepts is an ability that understand mathematical ideas that are comprehensive and functional. So understanding concepts is an important element in learning mathematics. This study aims to determine students' understanding of mathematical concepts in algebraic material. The type of research used by researchers is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this study were seventh-grade students in one of the public junior high schools in Karawang district, totaling 40 students. The results of the study found that students still have difficulty in working on test questions due to a lack of understanding of the concepts given, especially in linking various mathematical concepts internally or externally. It can be concluded that students have an understanding of mathematical concepts categorized as “Medium” in algebraic material. Pemahaman konsep matematika adalah suatu kemampuan yang memahami ide – ide matematika yang menyeluruh dan fungsional. Sehingga pemahaman konsep merupakan unsur penting dalam belajar matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemahaman konsep matematis siswa pada materi aljabar. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan peneliti yaitu kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini siswa kelas VII di salah satu SMP negeri yang ada di kabupaten karawang yang berjumlah 40 siswa. Hasil penelitian ditemukan siswa masih mengalami kesulitan dalam mengerjakan soal tes karena kurangnya pemahaman terhadap konsep yang diberikan, terutama dalam mengaitkan berbagai konsep matematika secara internal atau eksternal. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa siswa memiliki pemahaman konsep matematis yang berkategori “Sedang” dalam materi aljabar.
