ABSTRACT
The success of students in problem solving is highly dependent on the ability of students
representing each developmental problems and a higher representation influenced by other
representations. The aim of research to uncover and describe the capabilities and dispositions
mathematical representation based on the students’ mathematical power. The subjects were
students (prospective teachers of mathematics) academic year 2015/2016 Mathematics Education
Department, Sultan Agung Islamic University. The numbers of students in this study were 29
students. The data collection technique using a mathematical representation tests, mathematical
disposition questionnaires and interviews. The study concluded that the representation is affected
by the disposition of the mathematical aspects of a person, through a positive disposition will help
increase students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Furthermore, the mathematical
representation will improve communication skills, perform conjecture and troubleshooting. In
general disposition and mathematical representation was instrumental in enhancing the competence
of the students’ mathematical power.
Keywords: disposition, representations, mathematical power
ABSTRAK
Keberhasilan siswa dalam pemecahan masalah sangat tergantung pada kemampuan
merepresentasikan masalah dan setiap perkembangan representasi yang lebih tinggi dipengaruhi
oleh representasi lain. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengungkap dan menggambarkan kemampuan
representasi dan disposisi matematis berdasarkan daya matematika siswa. Subjek penelitian ini
adalah mahasiswa calon guru matematika tahun akademik 2015/2016, Prodi Pendidikan
Matematika Universitas Islam Sultan Agung. Jumlah mahasiswa dalam penelitian ini adalah 29
orang. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes representasi matematika, kuesioner disposisi
matematika dan wawancara. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa representasi dipengaruhi oleh aspek
disposisi matematika dari seseorang, melalui disposisi positif akan membantu meningkatkan
pemahaman siswa tentang konsep-konsep matematika. Selanjutnya, representasi matematis akan
meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi, melakukan dugaan dan pemecahan masalah. Secara umum
disposisi dan representasi matematis berperan penting dalam peningkatan kompetensi daya
matematika siswa.

ABSTRACT
The success of students in problem solving is highly dependent on the ability of students
representing each developmental problems and a higher representation influenced by other
representations. The aim of research to uncover and describe the capabilities and dispositions
mathematical representation based on the students’ mathematical power. The subjects were
students (prospective teachers of mathematics) academic year 2015/2016 Mathematics Education
Department, Sultan Agung Islamic University. The numbers of students in this study were 29
students. The data collection technique using a mathematical representation tests, mathematical
disposition questionnaires and interviews. The study concluded that the representation is affected
by the disposition of the mathematical aspects of a person, through a positive disposition will help
increase students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Furthermore, the mathematical
representation will improve communication skills, perform conjecture and troubleshooting. In
general disposition and mathematical representation was instrumental in enhancing the competence
of the students’ mathematical power.
Keywords: disposition, representations, mathematical power
ABSTRAK
Keberhasilan siswa dalam pemecahan masalah sangat tergantung pada kemampuan
merepresentasikan masalah dan setiap perkembangan representasi yang lebih tinggi dipengaruhi
oleh representasi lain. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengungkap dan menggambarkan kemampuan
representasi dan disposisi matematis berdasarkan daya matematika siswa. Subjek penelitian ini
adalah mahasiswa calon guru matematika tahun akademik 2015/2016, Prodi Pendidikan
Matematika Universitas Islam Sultan Agung. Jumlah mahasiswa dalam penelitian ini adalah 29
orang. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes representasi matematika, kuesioner disposisi
matematika dan wawancara. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa representasi dipengaruhi oleh aspek
disposisi matematika dari seseorang, melalui disposisi positif akan membantu meningkatkan
pemahaman siswa tentang konsep-konsep matematika. Selanjutnya, representasi matematis akan
meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi, melakukan dugaan dan pemecahan masalah. Secara umum
disposisi dan representasi matematis berperan penting dalam peningkatan kompetensi daya
matematika siswa.
