Abstract
Abstraction is a fundamental process in learning mathematics. Although it is a fundamental process but it is still an unfamiliar issue in mathematics education. On the other side, geometry, one of the fields in mathematics, consists of abstracts ideas having big portion in Junior High School. It is known that in this stage most students’ still thinks in concrete orientation. That is why it is necessary to know how the abstraction process in learning geometry. The aims of this research are capturing the students’ abstraction process during geometry instruction process and capturing students’ abstraction process during solving geometry problems. It is a qualitative research study. This research was conducted at Public Junior High School I Cimahi in RSBI classes, which subjects are students in grade VII. The data were collected by observation, test, and interview. Further the data were analyzed using analytical induction and constant comparative techniques. The results of this research are (1) the type of students’ abstraction process when learning geometry is a theoretical abstraction process and (2) the students’ abstraction process in solving geometry problems in that class is a type of abstraction, namely empirical abstraction process. However, the student’s abstraction has emphasis in terms of aspects of abstraction. The aspect of identifying objects’ characteristics through field experiences is more dominant than others. Key Words: Abstraction, Geometry, Empirical abstraction, Theoretical Abstraction.
