Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine students' ability to solve problems using the SQ4R technique on the subject matter system of linear equations in two variables. This type of research is Classroom Action Research. The subjects in this study were students of class VIII Mts Nahdhatul Islam Mancang, which consisted of 32 students. Methods of data collection in the form of observation, diagnostic tests, interviews and learning achievement tests. The results of the research on the difficulty of obtaining the difficulties experienced by students in solving system of linear equations in two variables word problems, namely students' difficulties from how to read, students' difficulties from mathematical facts, students' difficulties from mathematical concepts, students' difficulties from mathematical operations and students' difficulties from mathematical principles. To solve these difficulties, a system of how to read questions using the SQ4R technique was created. The results of interviews with teachers and students of class VIII found the difficulties students usually face in solving word problems, namely: (1) students are unable to read questions or translate questions in the form of mathematical models (2) students are not careful in calculations. So that improvement is needed by continuing in cycle I to fix the difficulties faced by students. After being given action in cycle 1. through the SQ4R technique, individual learning mastery was obtained, but classical learning mastery had not been achieved. Because it has not reached classical completeness, it is necessary to proceed to cycle II. Then after giving action in cycle II using SQ4R, it was obtained that the average value of students increased who had achieved individual learning mastery and classical learning mastery. Students are also active and more daring to ask questions about material they do not understand.
