Abstract:
This research aims at mapping the basic mathematical abilities of the students of Civics Education. Then, the existence of differences regarding this basic skill would be scientifically studied from the perspective of gender. The combination of qualitative and quantitative (Mixed Methods) would be employed as the research method, the qualitative would be used to map the basic mathematical abilities and the quantitative is for testing the quality of instrument which would be used from the perspective of gender. The results are (1) civic education students� ability on visualization is higher than mathematical logic. (2) Based on gender, it indicates that, based on the given 30 questions, women gain 17,85 questions and men 14,4 questions of correct answers. (3) The test to determine the mathematical basic abilities indicates the output Independent Samples Test Test value Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0,008 < 0,05. Meaning that H0 reveals the fact that man and woman possess different levels of abilities.
