ABSTRACT
The mathematical mindset of high school students is one of the important elements when learning
mathematics. The mathematical mindset is an implicit theory of the flexibility and stability of
human characteristics related to mathematical ability, intelligence, and talent. Through student
responses obtained by filling out questionnaires, this study aims to investigate the characteristics
of students’ mathematical mindsets qualitatively. This study found that most of the junior high
school students had the characteristics of a growth math mindset with a little bit of a fixed math
mindset. Most students believe that mathematical abilities and intelligence can be changed, even
though they find it difficult to face challenges and difficulties when learning mathematics.
