Abstract

One of the general skills that must be achieved by undergraduates is being able to make appropriate decisions in the context of solving problems in their field of expertise, based on the results of information and data analysis. The importance of problem solving skills was the background of this research which aimed to determine the mathematical problem solving ability of students in Linear Algebra courses based on Polya’s solving steps. This research was a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The subjects in this study were second semester mathematics education students at Bengkulu University in 2020/2021 who took Linear Algebra courses. The research data studied in this study were student answer sheets for the Final Semester Examinations in the 2020–2021 academic year using video conferences. The results showed that students with high scores were able to understand the problem well, make and implement plans properly and re-examine the steps that have been taken. Students with average scores understood most of the problems but there were still things they didn’t understand. Students with low scores didn’t understand the problem so they were unable to make and carry out plans or re-examine.
