Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences of students^ mathematical representation ability based on adversity quotient (quitter, camper, climber). The study used a quantitative approach with a comparative descriptive method. The subjects of this study were seventh grade students in one of the public junior high schools in Kampar on the set material. Data on students^ mathematical representation abilities were obtained using a test, while adversity quotient data was obtained using a Likert scale questionnaire. The results showed: 1) there was no difference in students^ mathematical representation abilities based on adversity quotient (quitter, camper, climber). 2) there is no difference in students^ mathematical representation ability based on control dimensions (quitter, camper, climber). 3) there is no difference in students^ mathematical representation ability based on origin & ownership dimensions (quitter, camper, climber). 4) there are differences in students^ mathematical representation abilities based on reach dimensions (quitter, camper, climber). 5) there is no difference in students^ mathematical representation abilities in terms of endurance dimensions (quitter, camper, climber).

Keywords: mathematical representation ability, adversity quotient, control, origin & ownership, reach, endurance.
