Abstract

Students should master three basic abilities: reading, writing, and counting (mathematics). Those three abilities are the basis to learn other subject and used in daily life in order to adapt to society. The objective of Basic Ability Test implementation is to find out the students’ reading, writing and counting ability necessary to improve learning program (remedial program). This research aimed to describe: (1) mathematic basic ability of the 3rd graders of Elementary School, (2) students’ error pattern in Mathematic Basic Ability test for the 3rd grade of Elementary School, and (3) the cause of students’ error in Basic Ability test for the 3rd grade of Elementary School. This study was a qualitative research. The subject of research was 100 3rd graders of Elementary School in Kebumen Regency in 2018 who have taken Basic Ability Test. Data collection was conducted using test, interview, and observation technique. Data validation in this research was carried out using triangulation technique. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result of research showed that (1) mathematic basic ability of the 3rd graders of elementary school was 49.16%, (2) the error pattern included: (a) reading, writing, number order and place value, (b) procedure, basic fact, and counting operation technique, (c) mixed counting operation, (d) concept, order, and fraction counting operation, (e) length, time, weight, and angle measurement concepts, (f) plane concept, and (g) currency concept, and (3) the causes of error included: (a) inadequate mastery of reading, writing, number order and place value, (b) inadequate mastery of procedure, basic fact, and counting operation technique, (c) inadequate mastery of mixed counting operation, (d) inadequate mastery of concept, order, and fraction counting operation, (e) inadequate mastery of length, time, weight, and angle measurement concepts, (f) inadequate mastery of plane concept, and (g) inadequate mastery of currency conversion concept.
