Abstrak
The ability to solve mathematical problems is influenced by students' personalities. The cause of students' low problem-solving abilities is their lack of self-confidence in solving mathematical problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the ability to solve mathematical problems in terms of students' self-confidence. This type of research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The determination of subjects is based on the results of the mathematical problem-solving ability test and the results of filling out the self-confidence questionnaire for 40 students. Data validity checks use triangulation. time. Based on the results of the study, it is known that (1) Students with high self-confidence have 3 aspects of mathematical problem-solving abilities, namely understanding the problem, developing a problem-solving plan and implementing the problem-solving plan. (2) Students with medium self-confidence have 2 aspects of mathematical problem-solving abilities, namely understanding the problem and developing a problem-solving plan. (3) Students with low self-confidence do not have aspects of mathematical problem-solving abilities, namely understanding the problem, developing a problem-solving plan, implementing the problem-solving plan, and re-checking.
