Abstract


The aim of this research is to map the types of difficulties of class VII students based on Cooney's Theory at each stage of Polya when solving algebra problems in the form of story problems, as well as the factors that cause them. The type of research used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. There were 6 subjects selected by purposive sampling from a population of 18 students divided into categories of high ability (KT), medium ability (KS), and low ability (KR). Instruments used in the form of algebra tests and interviews. The conclusions obtained: (1) students in the high category (KT) still experience the principle type of difficulty (P) at the stage of implementing the plan and at the stage of re-examining the solution results; (2) students in the medium category (KS) still experience conceptual difficulties (K) at the planning solution stage, and experience principle difficulties (P) at the next solving stage, and; (3) students in the low ability category (KR) still experience verbal difficulties (V) starting from the stage of understanding the problem. The causal factors are: (1) unable to understand the text of the story questions; (2) have not mastered the use of variables in creating mathematical models; (3) unable to utilize the information in the question text to create a mathematical model, and; (4) limited time to reread the problem text until you understand it and to recheck the results of problem solving.

Keywords


Types of Difficulty According to Cooney; Polya Problem Solving Stages; Algebra Problems in the Form of Stories.
