Batik Context as PISA-like Problem to Assess Students’ Mathematical Literacy

Abstract

PISA is an international assessment of mathematics and science achievement that concern for the mathematical literacy. Students’ mathematical literacy, however, was still low in Indonesia. This study aims to develop PISA-like problem that valid, practical and has potential effect to assess mathematical literacy. This study was research and development that consisting of preliminary, development, and assessment stages. The subject of this research was students on grade 7th. The data was collected by observation, questionnaire, and test. This research result PISA-like problem involves three questions with Batik theme in quantity content. This PISAlike problem was declared valid, practical, and had a potential effect to assess mathematical literacy. This problem is valid based on judgment from experts concerning on the content, construct, and language aspects. This problem is practical based on the results of the test to small groups of students. Besides, this problem has potential effect on assessing students’ mathematical literacy.

Developing mathematics problems using local wisdom context of Maluku to improve students’ numeracy

“…Of the few existing studies, no one has simultaneously developed a mathematical problem using four PISA contents. In addition, some studies develop mathematical problems using the context of local wisdom, including using the context of local Javanese wisdom (Machromah & Sari, 2021;Mulyatna et al, 2021), using the context of Jambi (Charmila et al, 2016), Palembang (Mayari, 2020), Malang (Pratiwi et al, 2020), Riau (Zulfah & Insani, 2020, and Bangka Belitung (Putra & Vebrian, 2019). Based on the research, there has been no development of mathematical problems that use Maluku context, so researcher are interested in developing mathematical problems using four PISA contents using Maluku context, namely Pela, Gandong, Famili, and Sasi.…”
