Analysis Mathematical Communication Skills Students In The Matter Algebra Based Nctm

Abstract

Mathematical communication in solving mathematical problems is necessary, based on observations of the tasks to students, there are still many who have not been able to communicate in solving problems. The purpose of writing this study was to analyze the students' ability in mathematical communication resolve algebra problems. The sample was a student of mathematics education Pancasakti University Tegal from various secondary schools such as High School /Madrasah Aliyah with various departments and Vocational High School with various skills. The method used is a qualitative research with descriptive analysis. The data collection is done by providing a set of written test for solving linear algebra equations of one variable. The results are analyzed based on student performance indicators set by the NCTM . The results of the study of mathematical abilities of students who have not been in accordance with the indicators, especially in organizing and accommodating mathematical thinking and to evaluate the mathematical thinking in solving algebra problems. Mathematical communication skills of students from High School Natural Science better than the students coming from high schools social science and vocational High School. Students who have good communication skills, both also in solution mathematics problems Keywords:
