Develop Students’ Mathematical Literacy in Learning (original) (raw)

Towards Mathematical Literacy in the 21st Century: Perspectives from Indonesia

Southeast Asian Mathematics Education Journal

The notion of mathematical literacy advocated by PISA (OECD, 2006) offers a broader conception for assessing mathematical competences and processes with the main focus on the relevant use of mathematics in life. This notion of mathematical literacy is closely connected to the notion of mathematical modelling whereby mathematics is put to solving real world problems. Indonesia has participated as a partner country in PISA since 2000. The PISA trends in mathematics from 2003 to 2009 revealed unsatisfactory mathematical literacy among 15-year-old students from Indonesia who lagged behind the average of OECD countries. In this paper, exemplary cases will be discussed to examine and to promote mathematical literacy at teacher education level. Lesson ideas and instruments were adapted from PISA released items 2006. The potential of such tasks will be discussed based on case studies of implementing these instruments with samples of pre-service teachers in Yogyakarta.

Mathematical literacy profile of primary school students

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (I-CMME) 2021

Many types of research related to mathematical literacy have been carried out, but those focusing on primary schools were still rare. This study aims to describe the mathematical literacy profile of primary school students in Sragen, Central Java, Indonesia. The research method was quantitative. A mathematical literacy test with aspects, content, and context relevant to primary school-age students was used to obtain data. One hundred twelve students from five primary schools have taken the test. The results showed that students' mathematical literacy was low, with mean score of 44.036 out of 100. The achievement for the formulating aspect was 38%, the employing aspect was 53%, and the interpreting aspect was 36%. The students' mean scores were also compared based on age and gender. The statistical analysis results showed no significant difference in mathematical literacy between 11, 12, and 13 years old, the same as between female and male students.
