Abstrak

Salah satu tantangan yang sering muncul di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari adalah masalah yang tidak terstruktur dengan jelas atau ill-structured. Berdasarkan hasil observasi maupun penelitian, masih ditemukan mahasiswa yang mengalami kesulitan dalam menyelesaikan masalah yang bersifat kompleks, terbuka, dan berkonteks lokal, padahal kemampuan tersebut penting untuk menghadapi berbagai permasalahan nyata dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah ill-structured berkonteks lokal. Penelitian menggunakan desain explanatory sequential mixed methods yang melibatkan 72 mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Lambung Mangkurat. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes penyelesaian masalah ill-structured dan wawancara. Empat subjek dipilih secara purposive untuk dianalisis secara mendalam. Prosedur penelitian meliputi penyusunan dan validasi instrumen tes, pengambilan data, analisis data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan dalam merancang, menjustifikasi, dan mengevaluasi solusi secara komprehensif pada masalah ill-structured berkonteks lokal. Penelitian ini berkontribusi memberikan gambaran mengenai kemampuan mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah lingkungan yang aktual serta sebagai dasar untuk mempertimbangkan strategi pembelajaran yang lebih efektif.

 

Kata kunci: ill structured; konteks lokal; penyelesaian masalah.

Abstract: One of the challenges frequently encountered in everyday life is dealing with ill-structured problems, which are complex, open-ended, and lack clearly defined solutions. Based on observations and previous studies, many university students still experience difficulties in solving complex, open-ended problems situated within local contexts, even though such abilities are essential for addressing real-world issues. This study aimed to describe students' ability to solve ill-structured problems situated within local contexts. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design involving 72 students from the Mathematics Education Study Program at Lambung Mangkurat University. Data were collected through an ill-structured problem-solving test and interviews. Four participants were purposively selected for in-depth analysis. The research procedure included the development and validation of the test instrument, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that most students experienced difficulties in designing, justifying, and comprehensively evaluating solutions to locally contextualized ill-structured problems. This study contributes to providing insights into students’ ability to address authentic environmental problems and serves as a basis for considering more effective instructional strategies to enhance ill-structured problem-solving skills.

 

Keywords: ill-structured problem; local context; problem solving.
