Abstract:
The material of absolute value inequalities is considered more difficult to study. There are still many undergraduate students who still make mistakes in understanding and solving problems related to this topic. Moreover, some of them do not yet know how to read the symbols. Therefore, these issues need to be studied more thoroughly. This research was conducted to explore the undergraduate students’ discourse on absolute value inequality tasks through commognitive analysis. A qualitative approach was applied, involving 78 participants; 11 of them were further interviewed. The analysis of the absolute value inequality tasks and the interview results revealed that there were commognitive conflicts that needed to be addressed. The findings of this research showed that commognitive conflicts arose when the undergraduate students applied the definition of absolute value and determined the solution set for the absolute value inequality problems.
