Abstract

This research was aimed to analyze and describe students' stages in solving vector concept problems in different contexts. Subjects of the research were 34 students of a high school in Palu. Research data were collected by testing and interviews. Interviewed respondents were six students and they represented three categories of ability in a respondents selection testing. The data were analyzed by the descriptive-qualitative approach. Results of the research showed that the students' stages and ability in solving the vector problems with no context were better than for the problems with physics context. There is a tendency of representation bias from the two contexts of the problems.
