Abstract

Misconceptions in algebraic forms are issues that arise when individuals misunderstand the concept, leading to beliefs that differ from those accepted by experts. Identifying misconceptions in algebraic forms is crucial, as contextual knowledge plays a significant role in comprehending algebraic materials. This study aims to explore the misconceptions of junior high school students in Tana Toraja district when solving algebraic problems using the Certainty of Response Index (CRI). The research, which is quantitative and employs survey methods, involved a population of eighth-grade junior high school students in the Tana Toraja district. There are 82 junior high schools in Tana Toraja Regency with a total of 13,529 students. A sample of 101 students was selected using proportional cluster random sampling. Data was collected through a written test combined with the CRI scale and analyzed descriptively, with results presented in diagrams and tables. The analysis using the CRI method revealed several misconceptions, specifically in the following areas: (1) Identifying elements of algebraic forms; (2) Grouping like and unlike terms; (3) Performing addition and subtraction operations in algebra; (4) Executing multiplication and division in algebraic forms; (5) Solving mixed algebraic operations; (6) Simplifying algebraic fractions; (7) Conducting operations with algebraic fractions; and (8) Making substitutions in algebraic problems.
