Systematic Literature Riview: Kesalahan Peserta Didik SMA dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Cerita Barisan dan Deret Aritmatika

Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of errors made by senior high schools (SMA) student in solving word problems on the topic of arithmetic sequences and series, which is part of advanced mathematics. Difficulties in understanding this concept often lead to errors in problem-solving. The purpose of conducting this research is to identify and classify these errors based on Newman's theory, taking into account the transition from the 2013 Curriculum to the Independent Learning Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka). The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was applied to collect and analyze data from relevant literature (publication years 2019-2024) found through Google Scholar and the Publish or Perish (PoP) application using the keywords arithmetic sequences and series, word problems, Newman's theory, and senior high school students. The research findings indicate three main categories of errors: comprehension error, transformation error, and process skill error. The 2013 Curriculum, which focused on concept mastery, faced obstacles such as a less interactive approach, causing students to continue experiencing difficulties. The Independent Learning Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), with its flexible and project-based approach, offers opportunities for improving learning through the strengthening of critical thinking and problem-solving competencies.
