Abstract

This study aimed to describe the difficulties of students in solving math problems, especially in solving trigonometry questions.. The subjects of this study were freshmen majoring math program who had already taken trigonometry courses. The research type was qualitative descriptive research. Data collection tools were essay trigonometry tests, deep interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out using document analysis techniques. The results show that the students have difficulty in understanding the information given to solve the problems. They do many errors in applying trigonometric concepts to answer the questions, because they do not calculate correctly the results of angle comparison. Besides, they incorrectly determine the angle of comparison between the angles obtained. Furthermore, the students were not familiar with the trigonometrysquestions because they were confused.This problem has hindered them from accomplishing the task in a given time.

学生解决三角问题的难点分析

本研究旨在描述学生在解决数学问题，特别是解决三角问题时的困难。本研究以已修过三角函数课程的数学专业大一新生为研究对象。研究类型为定性描述性研究。数据收集工具是论文三角学测试、深度访谈和文献。数据分析技术采用文献分析技术。结果显示，学生对解题信息的理解存在困难。他们在应用三角概念回答问题时犯了很多错误，因为他们没有正确计算角度比较的结果。此外，它们不正确地确定了所获得的角度之间的比较角度。此外，学生们不熟悉三角问题，因为他们很困惑。这个问题阻碍了他们在规定的时间内完成任务。
