Abstract

This article reports on beliefs in the problem-solving process of prospective teachers’ with high mathematics ability on the two-dimensional figure and tangent to the circle. Data collected by interviewing the subjects related to their beliefs in the process of using the problem-solving worksheet (PSW). Results of the interview transcription and observations have been used to express prospective teachers’ opinions about the problem-solving process. Next, the subjects were asked to practice solving mathematical problems. For problem-solving practice, the subjects were given the PSW and, then, asked to read it carefully and make their observations about the data collection process. This research shows that there is a complex relationship between belief system and the implications of solving the problem. Understanding what is believed by the person, cannot guarantee that the correct problem-solving process will be done. Even if someone believes in the concept, the concept connection and the stages of the problemsolving process, the correctness of the answers obtained will also depend on metacognitive ability in evaluating the undertaken problem-solving-process. Keywords: Belief, problem-solving process, tangent to the circle, two-dimensional figure
