Analysis of students' problem-solving abilities in solving contextual problems of Linear Equations with Three Variables in terms of Habits of Mind

Abstract

Students' problem-solving abilities and habits of mind need to be developed in mathematics learning. This research aims to describe the problem-solving abilities and habits of mind of class X MA Muhammadiyah 2 Al-Furqan students in solving contextual problems in online learning. This research is qualitative research with descriptive methods. The subjects of this research were 3 students of class X Science MA Muhammadiyah 2 Al-Furqan who came from ability groups: high, medium, and low. These students take part in mathematics learning using blended learning. The research results show that problem-solving abilities and habits of mind are interrelated and support each other. Students with high Habits of mind have high problem-solving abilities, students with medium Habits of mind have medium problem-solving abilities, and students with low Habits of mind have low problem-solving abilities. Students' problem-solving abilities are classified as high on the indicator of understanding the problem and low on the indicators of making plans and implementing plans. Students' habits of mind are classified as medium to high on the indicator of persisting or never giving up medium to low on the indicator of being enthusiastic in responding, and the indicator of being brave enough to take responsibility and face risks.
