Abstract

This study aims to analyze the misconceptions of seventh-grade students on rational numbers material based on essay test answers. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 32 seventh-grade students of MTs Nurul Falah Airmolek as research subjects. The instrument used was an essay test consisting of four questions designed based on indicators of conceptual understanding, namely restating concepts, classifying rational and irrational numbers, representing fractions into decimals, and applying rational number operations in contextual problems. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that students still experienced relatively high misconceptions in rational numbers material. The highest error percentage occurred in the indicator of applying rational number operations in contextual problems (68.75%). The most dominant type of misconception was Concept Errors (Co), with the highest percentage reaching 56.25%, indicating that most student errors were caused by a lack of conceptual understanding rather than procedural inaccuracy. These findings indicate that students’ understanding of rational numbers concepts is still not optimal. Therefore, more innovative and constructivist learning strategies emphasizing conceptual understanding, multiple mathematical representations, and contextual exercises are needed to minimize misconceptions.Keywords: Misconception; Rational numbers; Essay test; Conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' difficulties in solving problems on the Pythagorean Theorem material in terms of gender differences. This study used a qualitative descriptive method conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Pasir Penyu in the 2025–2026 academic year. The research sample consisted of 29 students of class VIII.2 selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through a descriptive test consisting of four questions related to the Pythagorean Theorem material. The results showed that male and female students both experienced difficulties in understanding problems, determining formulas, performing calculations, and drawing conclusions. Male students tended to experience difficulties in technical aspects, such as arithmetic operations, calculation accuracy, and solution procedures, while female students experienced more difficulties in non-technical aspects, such as explaining concepts, completing information, and writing final conclusions. This study has a positive impact as evaluation material for teachers in designing more effective mathematics learning according to student characteristics, thereby helping to minimize learning difficulties in the Pythagorean Theorem material.Keywords: Learning Difficulties, Pythagorean Theorem, Gender, Mathematics

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mathematical conceptual understanding of seventh-grade students on the topic of integers and to identify the difficulties experienced by students in solving problems. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were 23 students of class VII-3 at SMP Negeri 2 Pasir Penyu in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research instruments used were a conceptual understanding ability test and interviews. The results showed that the mathematical conceptual understanding ability of class VII-3 students was still relatively low. This can be seen from the highest number of students being in the low category, consisting of 10 students; 3 students in the very low category; 3 students in the moderate category; 5 students in the high category; and 2 students in the very high category. In general, students were able to understand basic concepts, but they still experienced difficulties in analyzing and applying mathematical concepts. The low ability was presumably caused by a less engaging learning process. Therefore, more innovative learning approaches are needed, such as the demonstration method and PMRI, as well as contextual problems related to daily life so that mathematics learning becomes more meaningful and enjoyable.Keywords: Conceptual Understanding, Learning Difficulties, Junior High School
