Abstract

Bayangan konsep seseorang merupakan kumpulan gambar mental yang disertasi dengan sifat-sifat dan proses-proses yang terkait dengan konsep tersebut yang ada dalam pikiran. Oleh karenanya bayangan konsep berbentuk konsepsi-konsepsi nonverbal terhadap suatu konsep formal. Paper ini mengungkapkan tentang profil bayangan konsep mahasiswa program studi matematika tentang konsep kombinasi, khususnya untuk mahasiswa laki-laki dengan kemampuan rendah  Matematika Dasar dan mahasiswa perempuan dengan kemampuan tinggi Matematika Dasar.  Penelitian ini menggunakan  penelitian pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Di dalam penelitian ini diungkapkan pula adanya miskonsepsi mahasiswa dan konflik kognitif serta respon intuitif terhadap konsep kombinasi dan pemecahan masalah yang terkait dengan kombinasi.  Selain itu, adanya kategori bayangan konsep instrumental dan bayangan konsep relasional yang dimiliki mahasiswa terhadap konsep kombinasi serta dalam melakukan pemecahan masalah yang terkait kombinasi.

Someone’s concept image to a concept be a collection of all  mental pictures together with properties and processes associated to the concept in his/her mind. Therefore, concept image as a non-verbal perceptions of a formal concept. This paper is to show the profile of  concept image about concept of combination of the mathematics students who have high ability in basic mathematic. This study used qualitative descriptive approach. In this study was shown students’ concept image and thinking process of concept combination k objekt of n objek as a reciprocal  connection between concept images and formal concepts and also shown category of concept image including instrumental concept image  and relational concept image that belonged the students about concept of combination k object of n object.

Keywords
