Thinking Trajectory of Students with Thinking and Feeling Personality Types in Solving Algebra Problems

The strategies students use in solving mathematical problems are quite diverse, so they affect students' personality types. This research focuses on analyzing the trajectory of thinking algebraic terms and feeling is qualitative with a descriptive method. population 34 students; sampling done by purposive sampling—data collection techniques through questionnaire sheets, test questions, interviews. Qualitative data analysis was reduction, display, conclusion/verification stages. results showed that path types problem cycle, can correctly show what known from problem. problem-solving process made sequentially up to simplification cycle. In completion think until get final answer completing steps properly correctly. Based these results, need help algebra compared type. It because feel could be more sequential forms, it difficult consider based right or wrong (objective). Therefore, sometimes he needs wishy-washy even clarification taking stand.
