Abstract

This study examines students' thought processes in translating mathematical representations of covariational problems from graphic to pictorial forms. This research is qualitative research. The research subjects are 3rd-semester students of Mathematics Education at Universitas Negeri Malang. Students solve the problems given and the process of students in solving problems is recorded and verbalize what is thought (think aloud) and interviewed in-depth. The results showed that very few students could solve the covariational problem of dynamic events. The ability to coordinate changes from one variable value to changes in the value of other variables is still not good. Therefore, the ability to translate representations that involve covariational reasoning needs special attention. © 2019 IJSTR.
