Abstract

This research is descriptive explorative with a qualitative approach, aim to know the role of student intuition development in solving a math problem. Data collection methods triangulate data through tests, interviews, and documentation. The subject of the research is a mathematics education student of the Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon. The population of the subjects was 70 students and then selected who had the initial ability of mathematics in a number of 35 people, after which selected 1 female student whose TPMM and TPA is medium and has good mathematical delivery. The results of this study indicate that the role of the development of student intuition in solving mathematical problems is: First. Subjection using intuition is self-evident intuition, ie, statement, representation, or interpretation is considered the subject right by itself, the subject feels no need to show/prove formally the truth of the statement, its representation, or its interpretation. Second. Subjects use certainty's intrinsic intuition, ie the subject assumes a statement, its representation, or its interpretation, a certainty, no external support (formal or empirical to obtain it). Third. Subjects use the intuition of globality, that is, the subject sees it as a whole in carrying out its plan or global, whether object, concept, or knowledge of its parts. fourth. Subjects use extrapolative ness intuition, ie the subject views certain interpretations, decisions or conclusions based on insufficient information or data. It is proved that the subject is not intact in making problem-solving plans. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
