Analyzing students’ mathematical concept understanding in terms of their learning independence

Abstract


One of the objectives of learning mathematics is to understand mathematical concepts. A good understanding of mathematical concepts can support the development of problem-solving skills, communication, representation, reasoning, connection, creative thinking, and critical mathematical thinking. The difficulty of understanding and applying the concepts obtained in the previous material affects the material at the next level. A shared understanding of mathematical concepts can be caused by learning independence. This study aims to analyze the group of students' mathematical comprehension ability in terms of learning independence. This research is research with descriptive methods and qualitative approaches. The subjects of this study were class XI MIPA 4 students of SMAN 2 Bantul, totaling 12 people, to examine the category of learning independence. Then purposive sampling techniques were used to take four samples from four types of learning independence. The instruments developed and used are the learning independence questionnaire and mathematical comprehension test. The results showed that subjects who had to learn independence with a high category could understand mathematical concepts by 88% and were in the high class. In comparison, students with a moderate level of learning independence could understand mathematical concepts by 42% and be in a low category.
