Abstract
Errors are deviations from things that have been known to be true, errors by students in solving problems can be used by the teacher as a tool in knowing the extent of student ability, so that it can be known the difficulties experienced by students in the learning process. The purpose of this research is to describe the types of errors made by students in solving physics problems on straight motion material at SMAN 5 Pekanbaru. Population in this research were 360 students of class X SMAN 5 Pekanbaru. Samples were taken randomly and a total of 72 students were obtained. This research instrument was in the form of essay questions which were arranged based on the types of errors commonly made by students. Data was collected by giving essay test questions to the research sample. Data analysis in this research uses descriptive analysis with percentage techniques, which provide an overview of the level of errors made by students. Using the six questions that were tested, the most dominant type of error was obtained by students, namely the types of concept errors and data calculation errors, while the types of errors that were least experienced by students were the types of mathematical errors. For this reason, in learning physics on the topic of GLBB in class X SMA N 5 Pekanbaru, it is necessary to emphasize understanding of concepts and calculation of data that is more optimal so that students get better learning outcomes.

be true, errors by students in solving problems can be used by the teacher as a tool
known the difficulties experienced by students in the learning process
Summary
Penelitian dilakukan di SMA Negeri 5 Pekanbaru tahun pelajaran 2017/2018 yang menerapkan Kurikulum 2013. Populasi penelitian adalah siswa kelas X SMAN 5 Pekanbaru yang terdiri dari 10 kelas dengan jumlah siswa 360 orang. Semua kelas termasuk dalam kelompok MIPA yang memiliki jumlah siswa dengan rata-rata yang sama, dan diambil kelas X MIPA1 dan X MIPA2 dengan jumlah 72 orang siswa sebagai sampel melalui teknik random. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian survei. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengambil informasi atau data secara langsung terhadap subjek penelitian (Nanang Martono, 2010). Instrumen yang digunakan adalah soal tes esai yang sudah divalidari oleh tim dosen pakar dengan jumlah tes sebanyak 6 soal. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk memberikan gambaran tentang jenis-jenis kesalahan yang umum dilakukan oleh siswa. Hasil perolehan data dipersentasekan kesalahan disetiap butir soal untuk mendapatkan total kesalahan yang terjadi pada setiap jenis kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh siswa
