Özet:

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the analogy process of students in solving problems based on sample questions in terms of students' different thinking abilities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory method. The subjects of this study were 7th grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Malang, Indonesia. The results showed that the convergent process of the students' analogy was encoding, concluding, mapping, and then applying. Convergent students begin the analogy process by understanding and calculating the variables posed by the target question. Convergent students are able to clearly communicate the analogy process in solving target problems and use mathematical language to express mathematical ideas appropriately. Divergent students take the same steps as convergent students in coding, concluding, but the stages are stages andapplications.
