Lost in Translation: examining translation errors assosiated with mathematical representation. So, those problem can be examined in the next research.Īdu-Gyamfi K., Bosse, M.J. This research is also limited to the representation translation from verbal to graph representation, has not examined the other representation such as verbal to symbolic or otherwise. The results of this research can be used as consideration to minimize the difficulties of students in unpacking the source when performing translation of verbal to the graph representation. Schemes facilitate students in unpacking the source.

The results showed that the activities of students in unpacking the source are reading the questions carefully, drawing the scheme of the verbal situation, identifying the things that are known, identifying the things that are asked, interpreting information and identifying new information. The data were collected through the think-aloud test. Subject of this study are twenty students of mathematics education program. This research was a qualitative descriptive study. This study aimed to examine the activity of students in unpacking the source during the translation process of verbal to the graph representations.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas mahasiswa dalam membongkar sumber (unpack the source) adalah membaca masalah dengan teliti, menggambar skema dari situasi verbal, mengidentifikasi hal yang diketahui, mengidentifikasi hal yang ditanyakan, meninterpretasi informasi dan mengidentifikasi informasi baru. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes disertai think aloud. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 20 mahasiswa pendidikan matematika. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memeriksa aktrivitas mahasiswa pada tahap unpack the source ketika melakukan translasi representasi verbal ke grafik.
