DEVELOPING PISA-LIKE MATHEMATICS TASK WITH INDONESIA NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE AS CONTEXT TO PROMOTE REASONING SKILLS of STUDENTS

摘要

One of the goals of learning mathematics for students is that students have skill to solve the mathematical problems as a mean to promote the careful reasoning, logical, critical, analytical, and creative (Widjajanti,2009). But in fact, the Indonesian students have the low skill in reasoning mathematics. It has been proved by the low performance of Indonesian Students in PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) survey in the period 2000 – 2012. Based on the result, this study aims to produce a set of PISA – like mathematics task with natural and cultural heritage of Indonesian as context which are valid and practical. This is a design research using type of development study with formative evaluation. Technique of the data collection is walkthrough, documentation, and test. The subjects were 34 ninth graders from SMP Negeri 1 Palembang. From the analysis of the documentation it can be concluded that (1) the set of PISA – like mathematics task with natural and cultural heritage of Indonesian as context which are valid and practical; (2) based on the development process showed that the set of PISA – like mathematics task with natural and cultural heritage of Indonesian as context have the potential effect on reasoning skill of students.udKeywords: Development research, PISA-like mathematics task, reasoning skill
