Semiotic Analysis of Mathematics Problems-Solving: Configure Mathematical Objects Viewed from High Mathematical Disposition

Abstract

Abstract The main purpose of this study was to describe the semiotic of students in solving mathematical problems with analysis using mathematical objects. In learning, mathematics was inseparable from signs and symbols. Mathematics in general was a subject that contains symbols, numbers, graphs, tables, diagrams. We used semiotic to analyze the configuration of mathematical objects (language, problems, concepts, procedures, propositions, and arguments). Subject of high school students in the City of Kediri using a technique is called qualitative descriptive and the subject has been selected according to a purposive sampling technique, and then fourteen students has been chosen who represent the category of high mathematical disposition. The results of this study describe semiotic students, who are students with high mathematical disposition obtaining all indicators of semiotic.
