KEMAMPUAN REPRESENTASI MATEMATIS MENYELESAIKAN SOAL OPEN-ENDED MENURUT TINGKAT KEMAMPUAN DASAR MATERI SEGIEMPAT DI SMP

Abstract

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan representasi matematis dalam menyelesaikan soal open-ended ditinjau dari tingkat kemampuan dasar siswa pada materi segiempat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan bentuk penelitian survei. Subjek penelitian adalah kelas VIII A SMP N 5 Pontianak. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa siswa tingkat kemampuan dasar atas memiliki kemampuan representasi visual tinggi, kemampuan representasi simbol sedang, kemampuan representasi verbal rendah. Siswa tingkat kemampuan dasar menengah memiliki kemampuan representasi visual sedang, kemampuan representasi simbol sedang, dan kemampuan representasi verbal sangat rendah. Siswa tingkat kemampuan dasar bawah memiliki kemampuan representasi visual sedang, kemampuan representasi simbol rendah, kemampuan representasi verbal sangat rendah.
