Abstract
This study aims to explain how factors that influence students that their answer were correct mathematically and plausible on the problem of inverse proportion concept. The subjects of this study were six students of grade 7th, a junior high school in Bandung. This study used a qualitative method. The technique of collecting data uses written tests and interviews. The result of this study analysed by using relevant theories. This implies the need for analysis of written tests and interview students as evaluation to improve learning. During the study, found factors that influence students in to finding their answers correct mathematically and plausible. These factors include students understanding related of inverse proportion concept, understanding of students related to calculating operations, understanding of students related to reading and forming tables, understanding of students in terms of graphs, and understanding of equations mathematics. Based on the results of this study concluded that students can understand the questions with plausible but these factors affect students in problem solving of inverse proportion concept so that students difficulties to find the right answers mathematically.
