Abstract

The Metaphorical Thinking approach in learning mathematics algebra material in the Independent Curriculum provides students with a more meaningful experience of the understanding process because they can see, form and map mathematical concepts to experiential concepts to practice solving everyday life problems in Algebraic form. This research is a library research study supported by interviews at SMP Negeri 3 Sampit. The research was carried out by collecting data from various sources regarding the difficulties of Phase D (SMP) students in algebra material and the metaphorical thinking approach to see the achievement of meaningful understanding of mathematics. With the characteristics of Metaphorical Thinking, students can carry out mathematical problem-solving activities, especially algebraic mathematical problems, so as to find meaningful understanding. Then carry out data analysis using descriptive analysis to determine the effect of the metaphorical thinking approach on the daily life problem solving abilities of phase D students in algebra material.

Abstract

Problems in the reality of our lives require mathematics to be solved often using analogies in their solutions or also called metaphors. The condition of these problems requires students to develop abilities that emphasize the development of relationships between mathematical concepts and real phenomena in the surrounding environment. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling. The study was conducted at a public senior high school in Central Kalimantan during the 2024–2025 academic year, with 3 spatial students as subjects with Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic learning styles in class X room H. This study aims to determine the metaphorical thinking process of students when solving trigonometry word problems. By using metaphorical thinking skills, students' mathematical understanding process becomes more meaningful because they can see, form, and map mathematical concepts to real concepts according to experience.
