Analyzing students' character values in non-routine mathematics problems

Abstract

This research is a descriptive qualitative research that aims to determine the character value of senior high school students which includes the value of honesty, hard work, creative, and curiosity in solving non-routine mathematics problems. Methods of data collection are done by written test consisting of three non-routine mathematics problems about systems of linear equations with three variables, observation of student character values during the test, then continued with the interview that aims to ensure the correctness of test sheet analysis results and observation analysis results. Based on the results of the analysis it is known that when solving non-routine problems, students show the character value of honesty, hard work, creative, and curiosity, with curiosity character values as the dominant character and honesty values as rarest characters.
