Abstract

This study aimed to describe the inductive reasoning mathematically ability and curiosity of
8th grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah Sokaraja. This research was descriptive
qualitative. Sampling using purposive sampling. In this study, students are grouped into three
groups namely the achievement of students with low, medium and high are determined based
on the value of UTS the second semester of the school year of 2014/2015 in class VIII C SMP
Muhammadiyah Sokaraja. Each group selected three students for the purposes of the
interview. The method of collecting data in this study using tests, interviews, questionnaires
and documentation. The results obtained: 1) Reasoning Inductive Mathematical: Students
with low achievement has not been able to examine the patterns and structures to find
regularities of patterns, formulate generalizations and allegations of regularities were found,
and has not been able to draw conclusions, compile evidence and reasoning / proof of the
truth of the solution. Students with moderate achievement simply can not draw conclusions,
compile evidence and give reasons / evidence of the truth of the solution. While students with
high achievement already meet the three indicators of inductive reasoning mathematically. 2)
Curiosity: Students with low achievement is already showing early signs of curiosity towards
mathematics. While students with moderate and high achievement already showing curiosity /
interest towards mathematics.

KEY WORDS: Inductive Reasoning Mathematically, Curiosity
