Abstract


Berpikir aljabar merupakan kemampuan esensial bagi mahasiswa dalam memahami konsep matematika abstrak, merepresentasikan hubungan, serta menyelesaikan masalah secara simbolik dan struktural. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji berpikir aljabar mahasiswa dalam perspektif neurosains melalui empat aspek utama, yaitu generalisasi, transformasi, level metaglobal, dan metakognisi, berdasarkan literatur bereputasi yang relevan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kajian literatur dengan menelaah berbagai publikasi mengenai berpikir aljabar, pembelajaran aljabar, metakognisi, dan neurosains kognitif dalam pendidikan matematika. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa generalisasi berperan dalam mengenali pola, membangun relasi, dan merumuskan ekspresi aljabar secara abstrak. Transformasi berkaitan dengan kemampuan memanipulasi simbol, mengubah representasi, serta menerapkan aturan aljabar secara fleksibel. Level metaglobal mencerminkan kapasitas mahasiswa dalam memahami struktur aljabar secara menyeluruh dan mengintegrasikan konsep dengan prosedur. Sementara itu, metakognisi berfungsi dalam perencanaan, pemantauan, pengendalian, dan evaluasi strategi penyelesaian masalah. Dalam perspektif neurosains, keempat aspek tersebut berkaitan erat dengan memori kerja, kontrol eksekutif, perhatian, fleksibilitas kognitif, dan pemrosesan simbolik. Kajian ini memberikan penguatan teoretis mengenai berpikir aljabar mahasiswa serta menjadi dasar konseptual bagi pengembangan pembelajaran aljabar yang selaras dengan proses kognitif.

Keywords
