Diferensiasi, Kesulitan, Matematika, LiteratureAbstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kesulitan siswa sekolah dasar dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita matematika pada pembelajaran diferensiasi di kelas IV SD melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Kemampuan pemecahan soal cerita matematika merupakan keterampilan esensial karena mencakup pemahaman bahasa matematika, representasi informasi, penentuan strategi, serta penerapan konsep dalam konteks nyata. Namun, berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa siswa masih menghadapi kendala dalam memahami isi soal, menghubungkan konsep, serta mengubah masalah verbal menjadi bentuk matematika. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah SLR dengan mengikuti pedoman Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Artikel dikumpulkan dari database ilmiah bereputasi dengan kata kunci seperti mathematical problem solving, mathematics difficulties, elementary mathematics, dan differentiated instruction. Seleksi artikel dilakukan berdasarkan kriteria inklusi tahun 2020–2025, relevansi, dan kualitas penelitian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kesulitan utama siswa terletak pada pemahaman bahasa matematika, representasi matematis, dan pemilihan strategi penyelesaian. Selain itu, perbedaan kemampuan siswa menegaskan pentingnya pembelajaran diferensiasi yang menyesuaikan konten, proses, dan produk pembelajaran.
