Student's mathematical refractive thinking skills in research based learning reviewed from adversity quotient Available to Purchase

Mathematics is one of the subjects that exist since elementary education and can form a systematic, logical and critical way of thinking. But in reality, there are still students who have difficulty in building a way of thinking. While the way of thinking that is currently required by students is high-level thinking. Two interrelated dimensions of high-level thinking are reflective thinking and critical thinking which is then referred to as refractive. Refractive thinking is a thought process that starts from reflective thinking constructed with critical thinking that can result in problem decisions. In problem decision making can be reviewed also through one aspect of psychology, namely Adversity Quotient (AQ). AQ has 3 levels namely Climber, Camper and Quitter with their respective characteristics especially in solving math problems. Learning model is needed that can facilitate students to be able to develop refractive thinking processes reviewed from AQ. The learning model that uses and selects learning resources according to needs is the Research Based Learning (RBL) model. This model can be done by engaging students in identifying questions, planning steps to search, collect, use, synthesize and evaluate information. The use of RBL is intended so that students can develop their refractive thinking skills in solving a math problem that is adjusted to each student AQ level.
