Students’ mathematical problem-solving process on proportion topic viewed from adversity quotient

Mathematical problem solving is a person's effort ini applying knowledge, understanding, and using certain strategies to determine the solution of a mathematical problems. Polya's steps ini problem solving are understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. A person’s ability to solve a problem is strongly influenced by Adversity Quotient (AQ). AQ is the ability to endure problems, so AQ is used as a measure of a person ini solving the problems. The purpose of this research is to describe students' mathematical problem solving process on the topic of proportion in terms of Adversity Quotient (AQ). The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. This research was conducted in a junior high school by giving the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) questionnaire and one proportion problem to 22 students. 5 out of 22 students who are Climber, Camper, and Quitter were selected as research subjects. The findings in this research are that Climber students have good problem solving skills because they fulfill 3 Polya steps. Camper students have sufficient problem solving skills because they fulfill 2 Polya steps. While Quitter students have low problem solving skills because none of Polya's steps are met.
