Mathematical Proficiency Profiles of Elementary School Student: Preliminary Study

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the mathematical proxies of elementary school class students in Tasikmalaya. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with an exploratory method. The subjects of this study were 100 elementary school students in Tasikmalaya City who were selected using purposive sampling. The data collection techniques used were test techniques, interviews, questionnaires, and document studies. The data analysis technique of this research uses an interactive analysis model with the stages: data validity, data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed: (1) 66.4% of students had mastered the understanding of the concept of fractions; (2) 62.33% of students have mastered the fluency of the procedure; (3) 64% of students have mastered strategic competencies; (4) 62.5% have mastered productive dispositions; and (5) as many as 74.33% of children’s productive dispositions can be easily seen. The conclusion of this research is the mathematical proficiency of elementary school students in Tasikmalaya must be improved immediately. Based on the results and conclusions of the research that has been done, the theoretical implications of this study strengthen the theory which states that mathematical proficiency are very important to be developed and have an impact on students.
