An autocognitive conflict and its mapping in solving mathematics problem
Abstract
An autocognitive conflict (ACC) is an internally anomaly situation based cognitive conflict in doing mathematical problem. It can be described by using a cognitive map. Therefore, this research aims to investigated the ACC that occurs in the thinking structure of undergraduate students while completing mathematics problem and made the ACC map. Based on the think aloud method while doing the task, 68 participants in this research were grupped into two groups, a group of students who had the ACC and who did not experienced the ACC. Subject in this research consist of two subjects form the first group. Based on our indepth interview, we identified that there were two types of internally anomaly situation (IAS), mis-analogical construction based IAS and previous work based IAS. Another finding is that there were three types of anomaly situation management’s result: anomaly situation that could not be solved by the student, anomaly situation that could be a trigger of another anomaly situation, and anomaly situation that could be solved by the student. We also indicated that there were three types of the implementations of autocognitive conflict process. They are knowledge updates, the emergence of new anomaly situation, and the divorced of knowledge structure.
