Daftar Isi:
- This study aims to analyze students’ error in solving mathematics word problems based on PISA frameworks. This is a qualitative descriptive study involving 63 students with low, moderate, and high level of mathematics achievement from 2 schools in Surakarta. The data collection was conducted using test, interview, and documentation. The data analysis was conducted in three stages namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results indicate that based on the content categories, most students gave incorrect answers on the shape and space; based on the context categories, most students gave incorrect answers on the occupational category; and based on the process categories, most students gave incorrect answers on the interpreting category. The possible factors caused of this problems are the mathematics textbooks which still lack of PISA-like problems, the teaching practices which still put mathematics as an exact and abstract subject, and the students did not familiar in solving problems which need reasoning and creativity. Keywords: PISA frameworks, students’ error, mathematics word problems
