Abstract

In the learning activities of mathematics in the classroom, thought processes occur in each. What has been remembered is what has been experienced, ever perceived, and it has been inserted into his soul and stored later at a time when the incident is reawakened in consciousness. The working memory of children in their ability to save and work with information in the brain, can provide predictions of success in all aspects of learning, regardless of IQ. This research is an ex-post facto descriptive research that aims to know how the correlations between working memory and student's mathematical difficulties in physical education students for basic statistics which have mathematical difficulties. The population in this study is all students of the first semester of physical education students and the samples are 30 students who have mathematical difficulties. The instruments used are questionnaires and documentation. The result of the research shows that there is a negative correlation between working memory with students' mathematical difficulties. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
