Abstract

Each individual has different level of understanding in solving problems. The Solo taxonomy aims to distinguish the thinking ability level of an individual in solving problems. This study aimed to describe students’ ability to solve problems based on the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy level. The type of research uses a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were 103 students of the Mathematics Education Program in Yogyakarta. The instrument used in this research was a linear algebra problem. Data were analyzed by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed a lack of conceptual understanding level in finding solutions to linear algebra problems. The understanding level of the subject in solving problems at the uni-structural level is classified as high. Nevertheless, the multi-structural and relational levels were classified as moderate. Instead, the abstract level was in the low category. Hence, the ability to think conceptually in order to generalize knowledge and other experiences is required in the problem solving process. Further research can be conducted to find other characteristics in other courses in solving problems.
