Fragmentation of thinking structure and its impact to students’ algebraic concept construction and problem solving

The term “fragmentation” is adopted from the term of data storage which is used inefficiently in a computer. The analogy of fragmentation in thinking process is inefficient phenomenon of information storage within the brain which obstructs the process of reconstructing and solving mathematical problems. This descriptive qualitative research aims to describe the fragmentation of thinking structure and its impact on concept construction and algebraic problem solving in Junior Highs School Students. The subjects consisted of 8th grade students of junior high school in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data of this research were collected using a task-based in-depth interview method. This research shows that the students have the following fragmentation of thinking structure: (1) pseudo construction, which occurs when the students’ answers seem right even though the reasoning are wrong, (2) hole construction, which occurs when students do not thoroughly understand the concepts of addition, multiplication, algebraic power forms, and mathematical problems-modelling, (3) mis-analogical thinking, which occurs when students consider an algebraic form to be the same as another algebraic form.

Power (Plan, Organize, Write, Edit, and Revise) Strategy: Teaching Writing Viewed from Students' Creativity

POWER (Plan, Organize, Write, Edit, and Revise) is an organizational strategy to produce good writing by exploring and reinforcing students' ideas through the stages of the writing process. This article considers an experimental study on the effectiveness of POWER strategy to teach writing viewed from students' creativity at one Senior High School in Surakarta. The sampling used in this research was clustering sampling with two classes as samples, namely experimental class taught using POWER strategy, and control class taught using guided writing. In this research, there were two instruments to collect the data: writing and verbal creativity tests. The data obtained were analyzed by using 2x2 Multifactor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test. The result of the research shows that: (1) POWER strategy is more effective than guided writing to teach writing; (2) students having high creativity have better writing than those having low creativity; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching strategies and creativity. It means that the use of the POWER strategy is useful to teach writing.

OPTIMALISASI RUTE DISTRIBUSI MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA DJIKSTRA

Optimization of distribution routes is intended to allocate products to each high school in Surakarta as well as to choose the route that has the biggest time savings so that transportation costs can be optimized. The route currently used is quite long, so the time needed for the distribution is long. Determination of distribution routes using the Djikstra algorithm method is carried out on the distribution of LKS in CV ABC. The Djikstra algorithm method allows route optimization by taking into account vehicle capacity and number of demand from each customer. The data used are the distance between the warehouse to each high school and the distance between high schools, the quantity delivery per customer, and the vehicle capacity. The results of this study are that if implementing the shipping allocation by prioritizing the closest distance in advance it will save more travel time than applying the allocation used by this company. Based on the analysis, it was found that the optimal shortest route in the distribution of LKS to SMA was to save fuel needs by 1.21 liters and save transportation costs by Rp. 9075 or 17.89% of the initial transportation costs.
