Misconception of Understanding Flat Building Theory with the Application of Polya Theory in Pgmi 3 Uinsu

Abstract

Misconceptions are things that must be avoided by teachers and students in learning. The reality in the field shows that there are still many students who experience misconceptions, one of which is in mathematics. This study aims to describe the misconception of PGMI UINSU students on flat building material with the application of Polya Theory. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The subjects in this study were conducted to several students who had the most misconceptions of all students in UINSU's PGMI class. The cause of misconceptions that occur is the ability to understand the concepts and images given to the problem. Alternatives include re-explaining, class discussion or using cognitive conflict strategies.
