Abstract

This study aims to describe the instrumental understanding and relational understanding of Mathematics Education students in solving linear algebra problems. This research was conducted in the Department of Mathematics Education, FKIP, University of Borneo Tarakan. The research subjects were students of the 4th semester of the Mathematics Education Department using the purposive sampling technique. The research design used is a qualitative case study type research with data collection using tests and interviews with the expectation that the data obtained can fully reveal and answer the research formulation about students’ instrumental understanding and relational understanding in solving Linear Algebra problems. The data were analyzed qualitatively by reducing, presenting, and concluding, as well as triangulating the data that had been obtained. From this research, it was found that the instrumental understanding of subject-01 and subject-02 was able to know the method to determine the solution of linear algebra problems. In contrast, the relational experience of subject-01 and subject-02 did not know the concepts related to other problems and could not click linear algebra problems. With other problems. For instrumental understanding, subject-03 cannot see the method for determining the solution of linear algebra problems. For relational experience, subject-03 does not know the concepts related to other issues and cannot relate linear algebra problems to other problems.
