Stress Tolerance in Probabilistic Thinking: A Case Study
Taram, Abdul; Setyawan, Fariz
Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, v14 n4 p6-16 Fall 2022
Probabilistic thinking is a structure of thinking characterized by scenarios that allow one to explore reality. Therefore, the characteristic of probabilistic thinking is problem-oriented that will occur in a future full of uncertainty. Nevertheless, few studies examine the students' probabilistic thinking level based on the Stress Tolerance dimensions. Thus, in this study, researchers aim to describe the students' probabilistic thinking level based on the Stress Tolerance dimension in solving probability problems. It is shown that the smallest Stress Tolerance (ST)- Students consider confirming that the first solution is accurate. In contrast, the students with the highest score in ST-dimensions tend to make a simple step in solving the problem. The students' answers to probability problems characterize authentic risk-based decision-making. When we deal with probabilistic situations in everyday life, we all use a series of decision-making in our everyday estimation of probabilities, which sometimes leads to biases. However, the level of probabilistic thinking depends on the stress tolerance of the students. The students with the smallest stress tolerance score tend to get level 4 in probabilistic thinking. In contrast, the students with the highest stress tolerance score tends to reach level 1 in probabilistic thinking.
