Abstract

<p>Kemampuan pemecahan masalah kontekstual merupakan kemampuan yang perlu dikembangkan dalam menghadapi kehidupan nyata. Salah satu faktor internal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah kemampuan inisiatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan inisiatif peserta didik SMP dalam memecahkan masalah kontekstual pada pembelajaran matematika. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 32 peserta didik kelas VII C SMP Negeri 34 Gresik Semester Genap Tahun Ajaran 2023/2024. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar tes dan angket. Metode pengumpulan data penelitian ini yaitu tes dan penyebaran angket. Peserta didik mengerjakan tes dalam bentuk essai yang berisi dua soal kontekstual materi aljabar, dan angket yang berisi 15 item pernyataan. Kemudian, data akan dianalisis dengan menghitung persentase pada setiap indikatornya serta menggolongkan subjek penelitian kedalam kategori yang ditentukan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan inisiatif peserta didik kelas VII SMP tergolong tinggi dengan persentase 67%, meskipun kemampuan inisiatifnya tergolong tinggi tetapi kemampuan pemecahan masalah kontekstual mereka tergolong sedang dengan persentase 45%. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada analisis disetiap indikatornya yaitu peserta didik masih kurang pada indikator keterampilan berpikir luwes dalam kemampuan pemecahan masalah kontekstual, dan lebih banyak pada indikator berani mengambil risiko dalam kemampuan pemecahan masalah kontekstual.</p><p> </p><p>Contextual problem-solving skills are skills that need to be developed in dealing with real life. One of the internal factors to consider is the ability to take initiative. This study aims to describe the ability of junior high school students' initiative in solving contextual problems in mathematics learning. This type of research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The subjects of this study were 32 students of class VII C SMP Negeri 34 Gresik in the Even Semester of the 2023/2024 Academic Year. The instruments used are test sheets and questionnaires. The method of collecting this research data is testing and distributing questionnaires. Students take the test in the form of an essay containing two contextual questions of algebra material, and a questionnaire containing 15 statement items. Then, the data will be analyzed by calculating the percentage on each indicator and classifying the research subjects into specified categories. The results of this study showed that the initiative ability of grade VII junior high school students was high with a percentage of 67%, although their initiative ability was high, their contextual problem solving ability was classified as medium with a percentage of 45%. This can be seen in the analysis of each indicator, namely students are still lacking in indicators of flexible thinking skills in contextual problem solving abilities, and more in indicators of daring to take risks in contextual problem solving abilities.</p>
