Pemahaman Konsep Mahasiswa Perempuan dalam Menyelesaikan Masalah Grup

This study aims to describe the concept of female students in solving group problems. This research was conducted on students of Islamic University of Majapahit, Mojokerto. Subjects used in this study were taken from students of Mathematics education program, ie female students. This research is a qualitative description research. Data collection is done by task-based interviews. The interview reveals an understanding of concepts based on indicators: Explain or reiterate concepts and use group concepts to solve group problems. The data in this research is the result of interview and test of mathematics problem. The result of research indicates that understanding of subject concept, on component explaining or reiterating the concept of binary oparation, the nature of identity element, the nature of each element and group have inverse misconception, the subject is less precise in expressing it. In the concept of closed nature and associative nature, the subject can explain precisely. In the example component and not the example. the subject has not been able to distinguish which is a binary operation and which is not so also the set that has elements of identity and the set of which each element has an inverse. Subjects are able to distinguish which are binary operations that are assosiative and which are not associative. Similarly in giving a group example, but only by binary operation of addition and multiplication rather than example. The component uses group concepts to solve group problems. The subject shows G given the multiplication operation is the group, by showing the closed nature, the associative nature, having the identity element and having the inverse of each element.
