Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the thinking level of junior high school students in Bengkulu in solving TIMSS mathematics problems based on the Bengkulu context. The thinking level is focused on three levels, namely: (1) knowing, (2) applying, and (3) reasoning. The research is a qualitative descriptive research. The subjects in this study were 96 junior high school students in Bengkulu City from eight grade.

Analysis of research data was carried out using descriptive statistics. The results of the study concluded that the mastery of junior high school students in solving the Bengkulu context TIMSS mathematics problems based on the level of thinking, namely: (1) the low level of knowledge is 28 students (29.17%), moderate 47 students (48.96 %), and high 21 students (21.88 %). (2) the applying level with low criteria is 37 students (38.54%), 40 students (41.67%) are moderate, and 19 students high is (19.79%).
