Abstract

Mathematics learning is expected to train reasoning and thinking in concluding, developing problem-solving abilities, and delivering information. However the reasoning abilities possessed by Indonesian students are not optimal. In general, students still use memorizing formulas in solving problems rather than using their reasoning abilities. This qualitative descriptive study aims to see how much reasoning ability. By looking at the four aspects of reasoning, namely (a) examine the pattern of the problems given; (b) making an conjecture of the problem given; (c) evaluating the conjecture that have been made; and (d) using generalication to conclude, the third aspect most student go through. Students in Indonesia seem have not maximized their reasoning skills learning strategies in the class. With the data disclosed in this study, hopefully it can be a reference that reasoning skills in mathematics learning are essential to do. © 2022 Author(s).
