- Abstract
The ability of students to understand geometric material is very low, so that students are less able to solve geometry story problems, especially about flat shapes. This study uses a qualitative approach that aims to reveal more carefully the problem-solving abilities of PGSD Unismuh Makassar students in solving plane problems in terms of Van Hiele’s level of geometric thinking. To determine the subjects of this study, the researchers looked at the results of the mid-semester exams for the 2020/2021 academic year, which amounted to 32 students. Based on the mid scores that have been ranked, students are grouped into 3 groups based on the benchmark reference, namely high, medium and low groups. The results of the student MID test on the flat shape material showed that, out of 32 students, 28 students could answer questions at level 0 (visualization), 25 students could answer questions at level 1 (analysis), 13 students could answer questions at level 1 (analysis). 2 (informal deduction), and there are no students who can answer questions at level 3 (deduction) and level 4 (rigor). The results of student interviews showed that students’ thinking abilities in solving flat-shaped questions were different. Some students only reach level 0 or visualization, and the highest level is at level 2, namely informal deduction. So it can be concluded that students who have a high level of Van Hielle geometric thinking will also have a high ability to solve geometric problems.
