ERROR PROCEDURE ANALYSIS BASED ON NEWMAN IN SOLVING LOGARITH M QUESTIONS REVIEW STUDENT'S BEGINNING MATHEMATICS ABILITY

Understanding the stages of solving problems in a material is a basic asset for students ini the context of meaningful learning. This study aims to determine the number of errors ini stages or procedures performed by students on solving logarithmic questions. Another objective of this study is to find out what factors influence procedure errors based on the high, medium, an low initial mathematical abilities performed by  students when solving logarithmic questions. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The population of this study were students of class X MIPA MA Annida Al Islamy in the academic year 2020/2021. The subjects of this study were 3 students consisting of students with moderate, low, and high mathematical abilities. The research data will be anylized using data reduction techniques. The validity of this research data using the triangulation method (tests, interviews, and documentation). The research instrument used a multiple choice test consisting of 10 SMP UN questions and a test in the form of a description consisting of 5 logarithmic questions.
