An analysis on generational, transformational, global meta-level algebraic thinking ability in junior high school students

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of students’ generational abilities on students’ global meta-level abilities, to determine the effect of students’ transformational abilities on students’ global meta-level abilities, as well as the influence of students’ generational and transformational abilities on global meta-level abilities. This type of research is quantitative research with population eighth grade students of Semarang City Junior High School. A sample of 124 students obtained by stratified random sampling technique. Data is processed by correlation and regression tests, as well as the presentation of data in the form of diagrams. The results showed that students’ generational ability had a positive effect on global meta-level ability, students’ transformational abilities had a positive effect on global meta-level abilities, and together generational and transformational abilities had a positive effect on global meta-level abilities.
