This study aims to describe the mathematics problem solving skills, self-
efficacy of students and the relationship between the problem solving and self
efficacy of the Eighth grade students of Junior High School in Ciamis District.
This study included survey research. The subjects consisted of 389
students of grade VIII SMP Negeri in Ciamis district from 13 schools with high,
medium and low strata categories. The research sample was selected by means of
the stratified proportional random sampling. Data collection is done by test and
questionnaire. The Instruments comprised a diagnostic test consisting of 5 test
items, a student self efficacy questionnaire consisting of 30 items. The instrument
used has been validated by two experts. Data analysis was done with quantitative
and qualitative approach.
The results of the study are as follows 389 students have low criteria in
problem solving ability. Based on polya stage, mathematics problem solving
abilities include; understanding the problem 49,41% is on moderate criteria,
devising a plan 34,33% is on low criteria, carrying out the plan 42,14% is on
moderate criteria and looking back 4,24% is on very low. The average self
efficacy of 389 students is on moderate criteria, 91,17. The relations between the
problem solving and self efficacy of students is on very low criteria because the r
value of 0,104 is in the range from 0.00 to 0.200.

Keywords: problem-solving ability, self efficacy students.

RATNA WIDIANTI UTAMI. Analysis of Mathematics Problem Solving

Ability and Self Efficacy of the Eighth Grade Students of Junior High School in

Ciamis Regency. Thesis. Yogyakarta: Graduate School, Yogyakarta State

University. 2017.

This study aims to describe the mathematics problem-solving skills, self-

efficacy of students and the relationship between the problem-solving and self-

efficacy of the Eighth grade students of Junior High School in Ciamis District

This study categorized as survey research. The research subjects were 389

students of junior high school grade VIII in Ciamis Regency from 13 schools

which it categorized as high, moderate and low schools. The research sample was

selected by means of the stratified proportional random sampling technique. Data

collection technique was done by test and questionnaire. The instruments

comprised a diagnostic test consisting of 5 test items, a student self-efficacy

questionnaire consisting of 30 items. The instruments were validated by two

experts. Data analysis was done by using quantitative and qualitative approach.

The results of the study were as follows 389 students as the research

subjects have low criteria in problem-solving ability. Based on polya’s step, the

students’ mathematics problem-solving ability was 49,41%. It was at moderate

criteria for understanding the problem, 34,33% was at low criteria for devising a

plan to solve the problem, 42,14% was at moderate criteria for carrying out the
plan and 4,24% was at very low for looking back. The average of students’ self-

efficacy was at moderate criteria, 91,17. The relationship between problem-

solving ability and self-efficacy of students was at very low criteria because the r

value of 0,104 was in the range from 0.00 to 0.200.

Keywords: problem-solving ability, self-efficacy students.

 ABSTRAK

RATNA WIDIANTI UTAMI. Analisis Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah

Matematika dan Self Efficacy Siswa Kelas VIII SMP Negeri di Kabupaten

Ciamis. Tesis. Yogyakarta: Program Pascasarjana, Universitas Negeri

Yogyakarta. 2017.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan

masalah matematika, self efficacy siswa dan hubungan antara kemampuan

pemecahan masalah dan self efficacy siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri di Kabupaten

Ciamis.

Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian survei. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 389

siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri di Kabupaten Ciamis yang berasal dari 13 sekolah

dengan kategori strata tinggi, sedang dan rendah. Sampel dalam penelitian ini

ditentukan dengan stratified proporsional random sampling. Pengumpulan data

dilakukan dengan cara tes dan angket. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa tes

diagnostik yang terdiri dari 5 butir soal dan angket self efficacy siswa yang terdiri

dari 30 item. Instrumen yang digunakan telah divalidasi oleh dua ahli. Analisis

data dilakukan dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 389 siswa yang dijadikan subjek

penelitian memiliki kemampuan pemecahan masalah berada pada kriteria rendah.

Berdasarkan tahap polya, kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa; 49,41% berada

pada kriteria sedang untuk memahami masalah, 34,33% berada pada kriteria

rendah untuk merencanakan pemecahan masalah, 42,14% berada pada tahap

sedang untuk melaksanakan rencana masalah dan 4,24% berada pada kriteria

sangat rendah untuk memeriksa kembali hasil. Rata-rata self efficacy siswa

berada pada kriteria sedang yaitu 91,17. Hubungan kemampuan pemecahan

masalah matematika dan self efficacy siswa termasuk kategori sangat rendah

karena nilai r sebesar 0,104 berada pada rentang 0,00-0,200.

Kata Kunci: Kemampuan pemecahan masalah, Self efficacy siswa.
