Strategi Pembelajaran Efektif Untuk Mengatasi Kesulitan Belajar Matematika Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

There  are  still  many  elementary  school  age  children  who  have  learning  difficulties  in understanding  and  subtraction  arithmetic  operations  presented  in  the  form  of  story  questions  and difficulties  in multiplication  and  division  arithmetic  operations.  The  purpose  of  this  study  was  to determine  the  difficulties  in  learning  mathematics  for  elementary  school aged  children  and  provide solutions  or  alternative  solutions  to  overcome  these  learning  difficulties.  This  research  is  a descriptive research using a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were elementary school age  students.  Data  collection  techniques  using  document  studies.  The  results  showed  that  learning difficulties in mathematics were: 1) Difficulties in completing addition and subtraction in the form of math story problems; 2) Difficulty in completing mathematical multiplication and division arithmetic operations.  The  conclusing  of  this  study  is  that  there  are  difficulties  in  learning  mathematics  in elementary  school  students  in  the  form of  difficulties  in  addition  and  subtraction  arithmetic operations  which  are  presented  in  the  form  of  story  questions  and  difficulties  in  multiplication  and division arithmetic operations. Therefore, an effective learning strategy is needed to overcome mathematics learning difficulties in elementary school students.
