ADAPTIVE REASONING OF SOCIAL SECONDARY STUDENTS
Abstract
Adaptive reasoning is a component of basic mathematical skills that needs to be developed for students so that they can use mathematical procedures effectively. This research is a qualitative research that aims to describe the adaptive reasoning profile of secondary students in the Social Sciences department in solving mathematical problems. Research subjects were three students that solving mathematical problems correctly, solving mathematical problems less correctly, and solving mathematical problems incorrectly. The method used to collect data was to provide mathematical problem-solving tests and interviews. Data were analyzed based on students' adaptive reasoning activities in their activities to solve mathematical problems seen from three main aspects of adaptive reasoning, namely reflecting, explaining, and justifying. The results show that student who solved mathematical problems correctly indicated adaptive reasoning abilities in every aspect; student who solved mathematical problems less incorrectly demonstrated adaptive reasoning abilities that almost met all indicator aspects, and student who solved mathematical problems incorrectly did not demonstrate adaptive reasoning abilities in every aspect.
