Abstract

The purpose of this research is trying to identify epistemological obstacles which were experienced by Indonesian students in answering PISA test for mathematics literacy content uncertainty and data. Epistemological obstacles was identified by giving a test to the respondent, students of grade 7th and 8th who have studied data representation in the class. Respondents’ work analysed by qualitative method. The result showed that respondents have epistemological obstacles in reading the data, reading between the data, and reading beyond the data. To gain further understanding, some respondents chose to be interviewed.

Abstract

Misconception on algebra is one of the fundamental problems in mathematics learning. Misconception on algebra is a condition in which the student does not correctly understand and master the algebraic concept. This can cause students fail in building a correct knowledge framework, both in the concept of algebra and in other mathematical concepts using algebra. This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of misconceptions in initial algebra. A total of 52 eighth grade students from two different schools were given an algebra test and six students were interviewed afterwards. The results showed that most students made mistakes and were not correctly understanding simple algebraic forms, such as variables, coefficients and similar terms. It was concluded that students experienced some misconceptions on the basic concept of algebra.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand students' mistakes in using the cross methodto factorize the squared form. Eight quadratic form factoring is given to students to obtain studentlearning barrier data. The data were analysed in accordance with the phase of the cross method,followed by the interview to validate the alleged category of learning obstacle types that occurredin each student. The results of this study indicate that the obstacle learning that many studentsexperience using the cross method is didactical obstacle which is one example of the mistakethat student’s fact squared form by not involving variable x.
