Pemahaman Konsep Matematika Siswa Pada Materi Trapesium Ditinjau Dari Gaya Belajar Honey-Mumford

Abstract

The objective of the study is to describe students' conceptual understanding of mathematics in terms of learning styles according to Honey-Mumford's Theory. This research is descriptive qualitative with the subjects being class VII-B students of SMPN 3 Probolinggo City. Data was collected through questionnaires, tests, observations, and interviews. By data analysis of the learning style questionnaire, a subject was selected for activist, reflector, theoretical, and pragmatic learning styles. The results of the study showed that (1) activist considered the questions to be new problems, so they were enthusiastic about solving problems and showed good conceptual understanding by fulfilling all indicators, (2) reflector subjects were able to analyze information on the questions but failed to determine the steps for solving them and formulas (3) theoretical subjects draw sketches of questions before working on them and meet all indicators, and (4) pragmatic subjects tend to be practical so they work on questions without writing down information even though they understand and fulfill all indicators of conceptual understanding.
