“…Education system plays an essential role in economic and social development of any country because of its mission in raising the required expert manpower. Therefore, assessing the performance of its different domains is of great importance (Stacey et al, 2015). In addition to satisfying personal interests, mathematics has also been studied for practical objectives in other fields of study (Gatabi, Stacey, & Gooya, 2012).…”

“…Problem-solving is a vital skill for living in the present age. Nowadays, authorities are called for high-level thinking skills and problem-solving, both in the public and in the field of technologies in all activities (Stacey et al, 2015). Given the importance of mathematics training and the stated goals, it is clear that the real-world problem-solving ability is one of the issues emphasized and endorsed by policy makers in the education system.…”

The study aimed to calculate the evaluation of 9 th grade female students and compare the development of the educational process in increasing mathematical literacy using the Malmquist Index at different time intervals. This educational process was accomplished by analysing and integrating realistic mathematical education and mathematical problem-solving. The populations of the study were 120 ninth grade female students. Each student was as a DMU whose inputs were the math test score and the outputs were math test score of December and June. The data analysis method was based on (DEA) technique to calculate efficiency. The output-driven (CCR) model was used to determine students' performance coefficient. Then, the Malmquist Index was used to compare productivity evaluation after the end of the training course in December and the end of the year in June. In general, the results from changes in productivity evaluation of students using the Malmquist Index showed that the students in the experimental group who learned problem-solving and realistic mathematics had an increase in the overall productivity evaluation factor after completing the training compared to the others.

“…The importance of mastering mathematical literacy for students has been emphasized by some experts. Literacy in the context of mathematics according to Stacey and Turner, is the power to use mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems, thus, students are better prepared to face the challenges of life [11]. Mathematical literacy helps one to recognize the role of mathematics in the world and make judgments and decisions needed as a citizen [12].…”

This study aims to describe the literacy skills of Muhammadiyah elementary school students in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The population of this study was grade 4 students at Muhammadiyah elementary school in Sleman Regency. The samples of this study were 395 students taken from 16 Muhammadiyah elementary schools of each district in Sleman Regency using cluster random sampling technique. The data collection technique used mathematical literacy test instruments that had been tested for their validity and reliability. The results showed that the mathematical literacy skills of students at Muhammadiyah elementary schools in Sleman Regency were still in low. Mathematical literacy skills of Muhammadiyah Elementary School students in Sleman Regency in the domain of formulating mathematical situations were in the moderate category. It means the process domain by using concepts, facts, procedures, and mathematical reasoning as well as the process domain of interpreting, implementing, and evaluating mathematical results were in the low category.

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio empírico llevado a cabo a través de diferentes ciclos de investigación con alumnos de 4.º de la ESO y 1.º de Bachillerato, centrado en el concepto de intervalo de la recta real. Los objetivos son identificar las estrategias que utilizan los alumnos para realizar conversiones entre diferentes representaciones de intervalos no acotados e interpretar los posibles errores y dificultades derivados de aplicar estas estrategias. Se han detectado diferentes estrategias focalizadas en aspectos particulares, lo que ha corroborado que muchas dificultades están asociadas a la utilización de conversiones por congruencia. A partir de los resultados, se proponen varias orientaciones didácticas para facilitar el aprendizaje de este concepto a través de sus representaciones.
