Abstract

Students are required to find their own appropriate strategies to solve these problems, so that Intuition is needed. Male and female students have different Intuition on mathematical problems solving, so that gender is influencing how to obtain the mathematical knowledge. This study aims to know the intuition differences of students in SMAN 3 Banda Aceh between male and female students who have high-level mathematical abilities. Qualitative approaches with a destriptive research type were used. The subjects were one male student and one female student with high-level mathematical abilities. Data collection was carried out using instruments test which included tests of mathematical problem solving skills and interviews. The results showed that: 1) There are differences in the characteristics of male and female intuition in mathematical problems solving based on Polya's solution; 2) There are differences in the intuition of male and female in mathematical problems solving based on Polya's solution; 3) There are differences in intuition in various teaching materials.

 

Abstrak

Siswa dituntut untuk menemukan sendiri strategi yang sesuai untuk memecahkan masalah, sehingga dibutuhkan intuisi. Siswa laki-laki dan perempuan memiliki intuisi yang berbeda dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematika, sehingga faktor gender mempengaruhi cara memperoleh pengetahuan matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan intuisi siswa SMKN 2 Banda Aceh antara perempuan dan laki-laki yang memiliki kemampuan matematika tingkat tinggi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 1 orang siswa laki dan 1 siswa perempuan dengan tingkatan kemampuan matematika tinggi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen tes yang meliputi tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika dan wawancara. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa: 1) Terdapat perbedaan karakteristik intuisi subjek laki-laki dan perempuan dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematika berdasarkan pemecahan Polya; 2) Terdapat perbedaan intuisi subjek laki-laki dan perempuan dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematika berdasarkan pemecahan Polya; 3) Terdapat perbedaan intuisi pada materi SPLTV.

Kata kunci: Karakteristik intusi, pemecahan masalah, kemampuan matematika, gender
