Abstract
Disaster awareness in the community is necessary to be improved continuously, especially for regions in Indonesia that are prone to natural disasters. One way to do is to integrate disaster problems in mathematics learning. Teachers need to train students to solve mathematical problems in the context of disaster. Through this problem, it is expected that students’ logical mathematical intelligence will increase. This research is a preliminary study to determine the logical mathematical intelligence of students in solving mathematical problems in the context of disaster. The participants in this study were all 23 junior high school students in class VII at SMPN 1 Peukan Bada, Aceh Besar. These students were domiciled in the 2004 tsunami-affected areas registered and members of the Disaster Preparedness Schools (SSB). The data in this study were collected through tests and interviews which were analyzed descriptively. Based on the indicators of logical mathematical intelligence, it was concluded that students’ logical mathematical abilities in solving mathematical problems in the context of disaster were in the low category, even though students in these schools already had knowledge of disaster through disaster simulation activities. Thus the mathematical learning design is needed to improve students’ logical mathematical intelligence in solving mathematical problems in the context of disaster.
