STUDENTS’ CONCEPT UNDERSTANDING OF DERIVATIVE FUNCTION BASED ON APOS THEORY
Keywords:
Concept Understanding; Derivatives of Algebraic Functions; APOS theoryAbstract
Concept understanding of the derivative of algebraic functions can be analyzed through genetic decomposition analysis as an operationalization of APOS Theory. APOS Theory is a mathematics learning theory that assumes that a mathematical concept can be constructed through the action-process-object stage. The purpose of this study was to describe students' concept understanding of function derivatives based on APOS theory for high, medium, and low ability categories. This research used descriptive qualitative research method. The subject of this research was 11th Grade consisting of thirty students. The research data were collected through tests and interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The result show that, high ability category students have a good understanding and have reached the schema stage, medium and low ability categories have less understanding, the medium category only reaches the process stage towards the object and the low category is only at the action stage but one of the subjects is already at the process stage. After getting the results, it can be used as evaluation material if the level of understanding of students' concepts is known so that it is easier to overcome students' problems regarding their understanding.
