Abstract

This study aims to describe the pseudo-thinking processes of eighth-grade junior high school students in solving algebra problems, as viewed from the perspectives of high, moderate, and low levels of self-confidence. This study was conducted in the eighth grade at SMP Negeri 7 Palu during the 2025/2026 school year. A total of 3 students were selected from a group of 29 students. This research method uses a qualitative approach of a descriptive nature.The researcher employed a self-confidence questionnaire, an algebraic problem-solving test, and interviews. The results indicate that students have high self-confidence in their ability to solve problems correctly and follow problem-solving steps; however, they still struggle to explain their reasoning conceptually, suggesting that their thinking is pseudo-correct. Students with moderate self-confidence are able to solve problems fairly well, but they still make mistakes in their approach and conceptual understanding, so they tend to engage in pseudo-correct thinking, although not to the same extent as students with high self-confidence. Students with low self-confidence tend to have difficulty understanding and solving problems, leading them to give incorrect answers; however, they are able to correct their mistakes after reflecting on them, thus demonstrating pseudo-errors.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical representations of male and female students in solving algebraic problem. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The subjects consisted of two seventh -grade students from SMP Negeri 9 Palu selected through written tests and interviews. The research results show that during the understanding the problem stage, male subjects used verbal, symbolic, and visual representations, whereas female subjects used only verbal and symbolic representations. During the making a plan and carrying out the plan stages, both subjects used symbolic representations by writing down formulas, forming equations, and performing algebraic operations to arrive at the solution. In the looking back stage, the female subject used verbal and symbolic representations more comprehensively by rechecking the solution and providing a coherent explanation, whereas the male subject only wrote down the final conclusion without performing a thorough recheck.
