Abstract

This study aims to describe mathematics anxiety, the factors that cause it, and the mathematical problem solving ability of junior high school students based on Polya's stages and the level of mathematics anxiety. Using a case study approach with qualitative methods, the research involved 66 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 24 Padang, with 14 selected as subjects representing low, moderate, and high levels of anxiety. The instruments used include math anxiety questionnaire, math problem solving test, and interviews. The results showed that: (1) 68.2% of students experience moderate anxiety, 18.2% low, and 13.6% high; (2) Students' math anxiety is due to difficulty understanding formulas, exam pressure, and low self-confidence and doubts about abilities which affect motivation and performance; (3) Students' abilities at Polya’s stages vary, with 61% able to understand the problem, 44% able to devise a plan, 8% able to carry out the plan, and 6% able to look back; (4) Students with low math anxiety able to follow all stages of Polya. Cognitively they are able to strategize logically, somatically there is no physical disturbance, and attitudinally they show high self-confidence; (5) Students with moderate anxiety show variations in ability. They understand the problem, but procedural errors often occur. Somatic symptoms such as tension disrupt focus, and attitudinally appear hesitant and lack confidence; (6) Students with high anxiety are only able to understand the problem. Their cognition is limited, somatic symptoms such as trembling, and attitudinally they tend to be afraid of failure and reluctant to try.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to elucidate and analyze the errors made by SMA Negeri 8 Padang Phase E students when attempting to solve word problems on a system of three-variable linear equations based on Newman's error theory. The errors studied were based on the types of error indicators of Newman's errors which included inaccuracies in reading the questions, inaccuracies in understanding the questions, inaccuracies in the transformation of the questions, inaccuracies in processing skills and errors in writing the final answer. The results showed that the research subjects tended to make (a) The percentage of errors in process skills is 35%.; (b) The percentage of errors in the transformation is 30%.; (c) The percentage of errors in comprehend the problem is 17%.; (d)The percentage of errors in writing the final answer is 11%; (e) The percentage of errors in reading the questions is 7%.Keywords: Student error analysis, newman's error theory, math word problems.
