Abstract

In mathematics teaching and learning, most of the students are not yet able to understand and connect given problems or tasks with mathematics concepts or ideas required to solve the problem. This might relate to their reasoning ability and this ability is likely to be affected by their learning interest. The objective of this study is to describe students' mathematical reasoning based on different learning interests, involving six secondary students with high, medium, and low levels of learning interests, which were identified through a learning interest questionnaire. Data was collected through a reasoning test and interviews and then was qualitatively analyzed by referring to problem-solving stages integrated with aspects of mathematical reasoning. Data analysis was referred to as problem-solving stages integrated with the indicators of reasoning. It shows the different achievements of mathematical reasoning indicators by students who have distinct levels of learning interest; the higher the learning interest students have, the more indicators of reasoning they have. This indicates that students’ learning interest relates to their mathematical reasoning ability.
