The problem of learning in mathematics is because students always look at mathematics is complicated and usually exacerbated by the use of minimal learning aids. It needs to be given a fun learning solution for students to have the motivation and willingness to learn mathematics. One of them is contextual learning. This research wants to see the extent to which contextual learning can improve student learning motivation. This study uses qualitative research with the type of action research class (PTK) using the implementation cycle to see increased motivation and student learning outcomes. The results showed an increase in the motivation percentage of learning to study as a whole for each indicator of the first cycle of 62, 89% to 73.42% motivation to study in cycle II for learning outcomes experienced Increase in high category with gain Sebsar 0.71. Based on the data, it has been noted that with contextual learning, it can improve student motivation and learning outcomes.

ANALYSIS OF MATHEMATICS LITERACY BASED ON MATHEMATICAL ABILITY This research was conducted to determine the literacy skills students of class X on their math skill. This study used a qualitative approach, the approach that drives meaningful results. To determine the ability of mathematical literacy class X, there were study subjects of 3 people who were selected based on their level of math skills. The determination was based on the categories of low, medium and high. Each subject was given a test and interview questions to determine the literacy skills. The results revealed that subjects with low category were in the second level of mathematics literacy, and subjects with high category were in the third level of mathematical literacy skills. Based on these results, it is necessary to seek strategies in the learning process of mathematics, which allows the improvement of mathematics literacy skills.

Pada tahun 2019 ditemukan wabah penyakit yang berasal dari China yaitu Corona Virus atau COVID 19 yang menyebar dengan cepat ke seluruh dunia. Penyebaran virus ini sangat merugikan Negara khususnya dalam bidang pendidikan di Indonesia. Keberadaan lembaga pendidikan COVID-19 di Indonesia pada masa liburan sangat berpengaruh dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah, banyak sekolah yang menerapkan pembelajaran online atau E-learning. Di bidang pendidikan masih banyak sekolah yang ditutup dan diganti dengan pembelajaran online, namun ada juga sekolah yang melaksanakan pembelajaran dengan membuat kelompok kecil. Model pembelajaran dalam kelompok dapat membantu siswa lebih mudah memahami materi pembelajaran karena adanya proses interaksi antar siswa dan interaksi dengan guru. Model pembelajaran yang dapat diterapkan dalam pembelajaran kelompok adalah model pembelajaran kooperatif STAD (Student Team Achievement Division), penerapan model pembelajaran ini dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.

The current mathematics education is the fruit of past educational debates. First, we examine the past attempts to change the way mathematics is being taught and argue that education is always based on a traditional paradigm. Next try to explain the emergence of a new paradigm that grew out of a combination of theories from cognitive psychology, awareness of the importance of culture for learning, and the belief that students must get meaningful learning. This article discusses theories about paradigms that underlie the learning theory in general education, especially mathematics education. These paradigms include behaviourism, constructivism, critical theory, cognition theory. We discuss some of the implications of this reform related to how mathematics educators might work with math teachers.
