Thinking Analogy in Solving Indirect Analogy Problems based on Information Processing Theory

Cognitive ability in solving analogy problems really needs the right information processing. The core cognitive process thinking occurs when students make a mapping between target problem and source problem. This research aims to describe analogical indirect based on processing theory. method usesd this is qualitative descriptive. subject study were third fifth-semester of Mathematics Tadris Program FTK UIN Mataram. Instruments are use indefinite integral Integral Calculus course. Data analysis used by using triangulation methods data sources. results showed that there 51.06% able solve where recall long-term memory related have similarities problems. Source problem-solving taken from short-term memory. depends with previous Therefore, as mathematics teacher, he emphasize certain materials which initial knowledge further material.
