Abstrak

This study aims to identify the abilities and difficulties of junior high school students in translating word problems into mathematical models on the topic of Ratio and Proportion. The ability to model contextual problems is a crucial basic competency for junior high school students, but in reality many students still experience obstacles in this mathematical process. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, involving three eighth-grade students representing high, medium, and low ability levels. Using a two-question story problem instrument on ratios and proportions, the test results and interviews were analyzed, revealing that differences in student ability lie in their accuracy in understanding the context of the problems, selecting problem-solving strategies, and interpreting the results. High-ability students were able to build mathematical models well, while medium and low-ability students still experienced difficulties in the reflection and conceptual understanding stages. Factors that influence student abilities include learning motivation, understanding of basic concepts, and variations in teacher teaching strategies. This study contributes to the development of learning that emphasizes contextual understanding to improve students' mathematical modeling abilities.
