Analysis of Numeracy Literacy Skills Of Students On The Pythagorean Theorem Material in Class VIII UPT SMP Negeri 7 Medan T.A. 2021/2022

Abstract

This research aims to determine the numeracy literacy ability of students in class VIII SMP Negeri 7 Medan. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. The research was carried out in the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The samples taken in this study using purposive sampling were students at UPT SMP Negeri 7 Medan, namely class VIII. The instrument used in this study was a numeracy literacy test in the form of 5 essay questions. Data collection techniques using triangulation techniques, followed by data analysis which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. Based on the objectives of the research results that have been made by researchers, it can be seen that there is a difference in the students' numeracy literacy skills in solving post-test test questions, which 50% of students' numeracy literacy skills are obtained at a high level, while 30% of students who have moderate level of numeracy literacy, and 20% of students who have low level of numeracy literacy. From numeracy literacy skills in the high-level category, it can be seen that students are able to solve problems that occur in everyday life.

Analysis of Student Numeracy Literacy in Solving Pisa Questions

“…Based on the statement and the results of the work, S1 carries out the mathematization process because S1 can create mathematical models based on information from problems. This is in line with the indicators used as a reference to measure numeracy literacy skills as contained in the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) (OECD, 2015), and supported by research conducted by Nur et al (2022), namely students (1) Able to name number symbols 1-20, (2) Have the ability to use number symbols to count, (3) Able to match numbers with number symbols (Situmorang & Sinaga, 2022), namely from the ability of high-level numeracy literacy, it can be seen that students are able to solve problems that occur in everyday life.…”

Design of an Electronic Test for Geometry Material Based on Students' Numeracy Literacy and Metacognitive Knowledge

“…Numeracy literacy has the highest quality scale and direct recognition within the PISA 2021 framework. This recognition is central because numeracy literacy is very important for dealing with problems related to mathematics and its application in everyday life (Megawati & Sutarto, 2021;Situmorang & Sinaga, 2022). In fact, according to previous study students with solid numeracy skills will improve their abilities in other fields (Barham et al, 2019).…”

The Implementation of the Teaching Campus Program on Students' 21st Century Skills: A Systematic Review

“…1) the use of numbers and symbols related to basic mathematics as a solution to existing problems in everyday life, 2)analyzing information in mathematics in the form of graphs, tables, charts, and so on, and 3)interpreting the entry of information on mathematical problems (Situmorang & Sinaga, 2022) Seeing the problems in schools, students still have difficulty in math lessons. With the introduce students to more interesting teaching variations, one of which is learning to count while singing; that way, students are better able to understand and remember the material being taught (Fatonah et al, 2021).…”
