Abstract

Reflective thinking is a mental activity that produces changes in viewpoint through the process of re-interpretation which involves the process of analysis and decision-making about what has been done. Reflective thinking in solving problems plays an important role in the next problem solving process. It is because the students are able to realize and think about what they have done and they can use it for solving the next problems. One way to see how far reflective thinking has been used in problem solving is taxonomy of reflective thinking. This study aims to describe taxonomy of reflective thinking of teachers to be in problem solving. The subject of reserach is a student majoring in math education at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. The results showed that subject met the six levels of reflective thinking starting from level (1) remembering, (2) understanding (3) applying, (4) analyzing, (5) evaluating and (6) creating. The conclusion provides ideas about the taxonomy of reflective thinking that describes the depth of reflective thinking in solving mathematical problems. Each level illustrates the skill characteristic to use mathematical knowledge. Teachers are expected to have awareness to teach students to think reflectively up to the highest level.
