Description
Summary:Reflective thinking skill is one of higher-order thinking skills that have to be mastered by students, especially students of Mathematics Education. The aim of this study was to analyze the reflective thinking process of students in solving mathematical problems. This research was qualitative. The research subjects were 14 students of the Mathematics education study program of STKIP Adzkia. Data were obtained from the results of tests and interviews. Data were analyzed in three steps: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Results of this study show that: (1) students had difficulty identifying the concepts used in solving mathematical problems; (2) Students had difficulty choosing the right method to solve mathematical problems; (3) Students had difficulty applying other related concepts in solving Mathematics problems; (4) Students did not check the correctness of the answers, and (5) Students were not accustomed in making a conclusion.
