Strategies to Minimize Students’ Learning Obstacle in Fractions: A Grounded Theory Isnawan, Muhamad Galang Suryadi, Didi Turmudi, Turmudi : Fractions are a fundamental mathematical concept that is quite important for life. However, the existing facts prove that fraction concepts in mathematics are a problem that has become a learning obstacle for students in schools. Therefore, this study aims to find alternative strategies to minimize the learning obstacle. The researcher then used a grounded theory design to find this strategy. Researchers also combined research design with phenomenology to find the core categories. Researchers used systematic analysis (open, axial, and selective), combined with thematic analysis with NVivo-12. The analysis results revealed that ontogenic in the form of participants were unable to simplify, determine equivalent fractions, and carelessness was the most significant learning obstacle. The strategy obtained was the use of a didactic design based on a didactical situation in collaboration with didactical design research, which would minimize student learning barriers on fractions. Keywords: fractions, learning obstacle, grounded theory, phenomenology, didactical situation. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v23i1.pp87-99 FKIP Universitas Lampung 2022-03-17 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://jpmipa.fkip.unila.ac.id/index.php/jpmipa/article/view/420 Jurnal Pendidikan MIPA; Vol 23, No 1 (2022): Jurnal Pendidikan MIPA; 87-99 2685-5488 1411-2531 eng https://jpmipa.fkip.unila.ac.id/index.php/jpmipa/article/view/420/311 Copyright (c) 2022 Muhamad Galang Isnawan, Didi Suryadi, Turmudi Turmudi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
