Abstract

Character values in learning process are not only a responsibility of specific subjects such as civic education and religious subject. Mathematics is one of compulsory subject that can inculcate character values in secondary school students. This study is a qualitative research which aims to describe students' character values in solving problems about linier equations. The research subjects were eighth grade students in Palembang. The instrument used was students’ worksheet, observation, and interview which were analysed descriptively. The results of data analysis showed that the character values that appear in linier equation material are hard work, curiosity, communicative, and thorough. Those values appear because 3 topics in linear equation material namely graph, gradient and line are quation are interrelated so that these cause students to work hard in solving linear equation problems, actively to express their opinions in the discussion and to ask each other because the steps of the student worksheet provided.
