Abstract

This study aims to analyze the problems of the mathematical connection ability of junior high school students from self-confidence. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. The research subjects were selected using purposive sampling techniques consisting of students with high, medium, and low self-confidence categories. The instruments used included mathematical connection ability tests, self-confidence questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The data collection technique is carried out through triangulation methods, while data analysis uses the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results showed that students with high self-confidence had good mathematical connection skills, were able to connect between mathematical concepts, relate to real-life contexts, and solve problems systematically, although there were still weaknesses in mathematical communication. Students with self-confidence are showing good mathematical connection skills but are not optimally integrated, characterized by less systematic completion steps and doubts in the thinking process. Meanwhile, students with low self-confidence had difficulty with almost all indicators of mathematical connection, especially in building mathematical models, transforming story problems, and integrating concepts. These findings suggest that self-confidence has an important role in determining the quality of students' mathematical connection abilities. The higher the student's self-confidence, the better the mathematical connection ability they have. Therefore, learning is needed that not only focuses on the cognitive aspect, but also on strengthening the affective aspect of students.
