Abstract :
The study aims at examining (i) the reflective thingking process in solving Mathematics
problems based on high category conceptual understanding ability, (ii) the the reflective
thingking process in solving Mathematics problems based on mediocre category conceptual
understanding ability, and (iii) the reflective thingking process in solving Mathematics problems
based on low category conceptual understanding ability. The study was qualitative research.
The subject of the study was grade X MIA 1 of the second semester of 2018. Data were
collected by employing conceptual understanding test, problem solving test, interview and
documentation. Data were analyzed by conducting data reduction, data presentation, and
conclusion drawing. Data validity used methods and sources triangulation. The results of the
study reveal that (i) the reflective thingking process of the subject with high conceptual
understanding ability were follows: first, understood and analyzed the problems; second,
proposed the solution of problems; third conducted problem solving plan; and fourth, re-
analyzed; (ii) the reflective thingking process of the subject with mediocre conceptual
understanding ability were follows: first, understood and analyzed the problems; second,
proposed the solution of problems; third conducted problem solving plan; and fourth, re-
analyzed (the second problem); and (iii) the reflective thingking process of the subject with low
conceptual understanding ability were follows: first, understood and analyzed the problems;
second, proposed the solution of problems; third conducted problem solving plan; and fourth,
re-analyzed (the second problem).
Keywords: process, reflective thingking, problem solving, conceptual understanding
