Kesulitan Belajar Siswa SMP mengenai Kemampuan Koneksi Matematis pada Materi Statistika

Abstract

This study is to analyze the learning difficulties of junior high school students regarding the mathematical connection ability of the statistics material, to analyze students' errors in solving questions and to find out the factors that cause students to experience learning difficulties. The research subjects were 7 students of grade IX in junior high school. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Data obtained from written tests and interviews. The results showed that students with high mathematical connection skills did not have difficulty learning concepts, principles and verbal problems, there were only encoding errors in working on questions, students with moderate mathematical connection skills had a little difficulty learning concepts and principles and made transformation errors, process skills errors. , and encoding errors; students with low mathematical connection skills have difficulty learning concepts, principles and verbal problems and make mistakes in all aspects. The causes of learning difficulties and mistakes of students when working on questions are disliking mathematics, lazy learning, teachers teaching too fast, class is not conducive, family attention, unsupportive friends.
