Kemampuan penalaran matematis konten PLSV ditinjau dari gaya belajar siswa di SMP

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematical reasoning ability of students. This happens because students cannot fulfill the indicators of mathematical reasoning. This study aims to describe students' mathematical reasoning ability on the material of linear equation one variable based on students' learning style. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this study were three students consisting of one visual learning style student, one audiotorial learning style student, and one kinesthetic learning style student of class VIII A SMP Negeri 1 Kemusu. Data collection techniques in this study used questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Questionnaires were used to categorize students' learning styles. While the test was conducted to determine the mathematical reasoning ability of students and interviews were conducted to strengthen the answers to the test questions that had been done. The results of this study indicate that visual learning style and kinesthetic learning style students have high mathematical reasoning and audiotorial learning style has low mathematical reasoning.
