Analogical reasoning is a process of concluding identical relationships or problem-solving structure similarities of the source problem to be applied in solving the target problem. The aim of this research is to describe analogical reasoning of first semester undergraduate students in solving higher order thinking skill (HOTS) statistical methods problem. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects are six undergraduate students: two high-ability undergraduate students, two medium-ability undergraduate students, and two low-ability undergraduate students. Research data obtained from the result of HOTS analogical statistical methods problem test and interviews. The research results showed that high-ability undergraduate students could pass through the encoding, inferring, and mapping stages well in solving HOTS analogical statistical methods problem. But not all of the high-ability undergraduate students could pass through the applying stage, since some of them make a little error calculation due to lack of accuracy. While medium-ability undergraduate students could only pass through the encoding stage, and low-ability undergraduate students couldn't pass through all of the analogical reasoning stages. © 2024 AIP Publishing LLC.
