How Do Junior High School Students Solve Problems in Non-Routine Mathematics Problems

2024-06-13T02:21:20+00:00

One indicator of success in learning mathematics is problem solving ability. There are two types of mathematics questions that are generally known, namely routine and non-routine questions. Based on these reasons, the question arises of how junior high school students represent mathematically in solving non-routine mathematics problems. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. Data was collected using research instruments in the form of non-routine mathematics test instruments to measure students' mathematical representation abilities in problem solving. Then the subject will be interviewed about how he represents the answer to the question. The data will be analyzed by researchers using the Miles, Huberman, Saldana model to describe and provide mathematical problem solving skills. There are findings that need attention, namely the existence of differences in variations in problem solving. This can happen because students have different mathematical interpretation and representation abilities.

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a student-oriented learning approach based on activities or projects. This study aims to describe the PBL learning model for students in vocational education courses for children with intellectual disabilities. This research focuses on vocational learning for students with modality-based intellectual disabilities; syntax implementation in the PBL model and lesson plans. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that through PBL learning there was an increase in student competence in the following aspects: 1) Understanding of the concept of the PBL learning model; 2) the ability to analyze Competencies, especially the mapping of competency units from the Special Competency Standards for Persons with Disabilities in accordance with aspects of knowledge and skills in Competencies; 3) competency in compiling task analysis; 4) competence in understanding the modalities of students with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, the PBL learning model strategy needs to be continuously implemented to form good competence for students as prospective special education teachers.
