Description
Summary:This research aims to analyze a comparison between predictions made by researchers and the actual facts occurred in the real classroom situation. This study used a qualitative method, and involved 37 third-grade students from a primary school in Bandung. We analyzed students' responses to questions that are given by the teacher on the topic of two-dimensional shape. The results of this research showed that the learning method used by the teacher influenced students' written responses. It can be another approach for the teacher to be used according to the lesson units that are being presented, therefore the learning processes would run optimally and the learning goals can be achieved. Based on the results, we conclude that: (1) Students' incorrect responses are not only influenced by the teaching method used by the teachers, but also influenced by other intricate factors; (2) The teachers need to comprehend that every student has some different ways of thinking in answering the given problems.
