Identifying Types of Student Errors in Solving Algebraic Operation Story Problems using the Newman Procedure
Keywords:
Algebra, Mathematics Problems, Newman's ErrorAbstract
This study aims to analyze the types of errors made by students in solving algebraic operation problems using the Newman procedure. The study uses a phenomenological qualitative approach with two seventh-grade students from MTsN Kota Batu in the 2025/2026 academic year as subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through written tests and interviews. The results showed that neither subject S1 nor S2 made mistakes in the stages of reading and understanding the questions. Subject S1 began to show errors in the stage of converting the information in the questions into mathematical models, then made mistakes in the stage of formulating the steps to solve the problems, and again made mistakes in determining the final answers. Meanwhile, subject S2 made errors in the calculation process, which affected the accuracy of the final answer obtained. Overall, the most common type of error was in the ability to process and write down answers, which was largely influenced by a lack of precision in performing algebraic operations.
