Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the description of the problem solving process in each type of learning style for grade X of MIPA B students in SMA Negeri 1 Ngabang in Academic Year 2019/2020, Landak Regency. This research is a qualitative research. The subjects in this study were 6 (six) students of grade X MIPA B of SMA Negeri 1 Ngabang. The selection of research subjects is based on a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis techniques used in this study are data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing / verification. The results of this study indicate that 1) students with visual learning styles are able to understand problems well, are able to make easy and simple settlement plans so that they can do calculations correctly, and can re-examine the results of answers by re-reading the questions and the results of the answers, 2) students with the auditory learning style able to understand the problem well, able to make an easy solution to the plan, can do the calculations correctly, and can re-examine the results of the answers by re-reading the questions and the results of the answers, 3) students with kinesthetic learning styles are able to understand the problem but have not been able to make plans and carry out plans so that it is difficult to do the calculations correctly and at the stage of re-checking the results kinesthetic students can reexamine the results of the answers by rereading the questions and the results of the answers.

Abstract

Solving a problem in geometric transformation that is prioritized is the ability to think visually, this is because visualization is the heart of mathematics to solve a problem, besides that visualization can also make it easier to understand abstract mathematics, and can be used as a strategy for solving mathematical problems to be very simple. This study aims to describe the visual thinking ability of mathematics education students on the material of geometric transformation. The type of research used in this research is descriptive qualitative research. The subjects in this study were 5 students. Written tests related to geometric transformation questions, such as questions, reflections, translations, and dilations were used as data sources in this research. By describing each instrument that has been done by students in accordance with the indicators of visual thinking ability, data analysis techniques are used. The results of this study indicate that students' thinking skills only reach the stage of sorting, searching, and finding. It means only to the acquisition and reasoning. This can be seen from the responses of several students, namely students (1) four stages and three principles of visual thinking ability are achieved. Students can sort out the questions given and look for information to get answers, and can describe and visualize the answers that have been obtained. Student response (2) only did not reach the step of describing and the principle of individuation. This means that students cannot explain and describe answers in the form of pictures or graphs correctly. Student responses (3) only reached the stage of sorting and obtaining or in other words only understanding what was asked. Students in response (4) only did not reach the step of describing and the principle of visualizing/illustrating. So that it can be used as a reference related to visual research, especially on geometry material.
