Abstract

Generalization has been recognized as a challenge for students as a part of mathematical abstraction. This research is a descriptive study that aims to describe the mathematical abstraction type generalization in exponential problem. The subjects in this research were 3 students of one of the junior high school in Palembang. The students were at grade IX. This study was design research which consists: preliminary design, focus group discussion, trial, interview, and retrospective analysis. The problems are the creative problem solving. Problem 1 show that subject 1 succeed in indicator of perception of generality, expression of generality, symbolic expression of generality and manipulation of generality. Subject 2 only succeed in indicator of perception of generality. Subject 3 succeed in indicator of perception of generality and expression of generality. Problem 2 show that subject 1 and 3 succeed in indicator of perception of generality, symbolic expression of generality, expression of generality, and manipulation of generality. Subject 2 succeed in indicator of perception of generality. Problem 3 show that subject 1 and subject 2 succeed in indicator of perception of generality, expression of generality, and manipulation of generality. Subject 3 can’t answer the problem 3.
