Adversity quotient of prospective primary school teachers in making scratch-assisted math application

Abstract

The adversity question is one of the success factors in learning mathematics. This research is motivated by the low adversity question of students. The purpose of this research is to describe the picture of student adversity in making scratch-assisted mathematics applications. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. Subjects studied were 107 prospective teachers of semester 2 elementary school in one of the private tertiary institutions in Cimahi City. The instruments in this study used non-tests in the form of questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that the majority of prospective elementary school teacher students were still in the camper category. Adversity question of students in making scratch-assisted mathematics applications needs to be improved. This is because there are still many students difficulties in making algorithms around logical thinking, determining ideas for later application in mathematical application concepts. Students must go deeper into mathematical concepts and have to learn more about adversity quotient because students will need them when they are already working.
