Proses Koneksi Matematis secara Prosedural Materi Perbandingan ditinjau dari Asimilasi dan Akomodasi

The purpose of this article is to provide a procedural description of the mathematical connection process as it relates to assimilation and accommodation of comparison material. This research employs a qualitative methodology. The subjects of this study were twenty seventh-grade students from SMP Negeri 1 Trucuk. Then, six students were chosen as research participants from among the twenty: Two subjects were classified as assimilation, two as accommodation, and two as assimilation-accommodation. The research instrument comprises of tests questions and in-depth interviews. It employed triangulation techniques and source triangulation to ensure the data's authenticity. The data analysis process was guided by Miles and Huberman's models, which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drafting. The results indicated that subjects who have a tendency to assimilate information in phases can employ prior knowledge to solve difficulties. Additionally, the process of mathematical connection procedurally on subjects with a tendency for accommodation in phases can self-modify in the context of problem solving. However, subjects with a tendency for accommodation will encounter difficulties if they are unable to make adjustments that result in erroneous findings. Additionally, there is a procedural process of mathematical connection in disciplines that frequently combine assimilation and accommodation in phases. They can use previously acquired information to these disciplines and create adjustments to make problem solving simpler.
