- Abstract
Translation of representation is one representation process which takes an essential role in mathematics learning. Translation capability shown level of students’ conceptual understanding. Some processes of translation involve transitional representation. This study aims to describe the occurrence of the process of translating verbal representations to graphs involving transitional representations. This research is a qualitative research. The subject of this research was of the 4th and 6th semester of Mathematics Education department and it was determined by using purposive sampling. The data collection was done by think-aloud tests and interviews. The results shown that there are two types of transitional representation in the process of translation of verbal to the graph representation, i.e. symbolic and numerical representation. The student translates the verbal representation to the graph through two translational processes. The student translates the verbal representation to a symbolic or numerical representation of the representation transition and then translates the symbolic and numerical representation of the representation transition to a graphic representation. The results of this study are expected to increase the findings of previous research and as a consideration in designing learning model.
