Abstract
This study aims to describe the students’ mathematical connections in terms of the locus of control. The mathematical connection indicators in this study are writing down the mathematical concepts that underlie the answers, recognize the relationship of various mathematical ideas and mathematical topics that can be related to problems of everyday life, and understand how to solve mathematical ideas that are interrelated and underlie each other to obtain an integrated whole. Data collection methods in this study were questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The subjects of this study were six seventh-grade students at MTs Negeri 7 Jember. The data analyzed by qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the tests and interviews analysis, we known that students with internal locus of control could write mathematical concepts as a two variable linear equation system (TVLES). Students can connect TVLES material with problems, for example, represented the object in variables x and y. Students can also solved the problems related to TVLES material by using common examples, elimination and substitution methods. While the students’ with external locus of control also can write the mathematical concepts as a TVLES. But the students did not write in detail the relationship between TVLES material and the problem. Students can not solve problems by using TVLES solutions such as elimination and substitution, but students only use estimates in finding solutions.

Summary
2. Mengenali hubungan dari berbagai representasi ide-ide Menuliskan hubungan antar konsep matematika dan topik matematika yang berkaitan dengan matematika yang berkaitan pada soal. Tipe perilaku pada penelitian ini adalah locus of control. Seseorang yang memiliki tipe perilaku internal locus of control memiliki ciri-ciri diantaranya adalah kepercayaan diri terhadap kemampuannya dalam menyesuaikan soal-soal dan tugas, suka bekerja keras dan berusaha dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal dan mencapai prestasi, dan memiliki kepuasaan diri dalam menyelesaikan tugas tanpa bergantung pada orang lain. Berdasarkan uraian di atas, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan koneksi matematis siswa berdasarkan tipe perilaku locus of control. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif kualitatif dengan langkah-langkah: pengumpulan data (angket yang digunakan untuk mengetahui jenis locus of control yang dimiliki oleh siswa, tes koneksi matematis dan wawancara), reduksi data jika diperlukan, penyajian data berupa deskripsi mengenai analisis hasil tes dan hasil wawancara, kemudian penarikan kesimpulan mengenai deskripsi koneksi matematis siswa
