Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between mathematical literacy and students’ problem-solving ability in mathematics learning. Mathematical literacy is considered a fundamental competency that enables students to interpret, formulate, and apply mathematical concepts in various real-life contexts, while problem-solving ability reflects students’ capacity to understand, plan, execute, and evaluate solutions to mathematical problems. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The study was conducted at MA Arifah Gowa, involving 60 secondary school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using two instruments: a mathematical literacy test and a problem-solving ability test. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results show that students’ mathematical literacy has a mean score of 65.25 (SD = 10.12), indicating a moderate level, while problem-solving ability has a mean score of 82.40 (SD = 6.85), indicating a relatively high level. The correlation analysis reveals a significant positive relationship between mathematical literacy and problem-solving ability (r = 0.68, p < 0.05). These findings indicate that students with higher mathematical literacy tend to demonstrate better performance in solving mathematical problems. Mathematical literacy plays a crucial role in supporting students’ ability to understand problem contexts, select appropriate strategies, and interpret solutions effectively. However, the moderate level of literacy suggests that students may still rely on procedural approaches rather than deep conceptual understanding. In conclusion, enhancing mathematical literacy is essential for improving students’ problem-solving ability. Therefore, mathematics instruction should emphasize contextual understanding, reasoning, and application to foster more meaningful learning outcomes.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the financial and administrative management of social security institutions requires personnel equipped with data analysis skills, administrative precision, and an understanding of financial risk management. The Actuarial Science Study Program at Makassar State University has collaborated with the Makassar Branch of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (Social Security Agency for Employment) through a Field Work Practice (FWP) program, serving as an implementation of work-based learning. This initiative aims to enhance students' competencies in applying data processing concepts, validating financial information, and managing administrative documents that support the partner agency's operational processes. The program utilized a hands-on approach (experiential learning), observation, and workplace mentoring, while actively involving students in financial data processing and digital archiving. The results demonstrate that students successfully contributed to verifying and managing voucher data for programs such as BUBM, JKK, JHT, JP, and JKM; performing data reconciliation across the SMILE information system, Microsoft Excel, and physical documents; and supporting the digitization of financial records. This activity benefited students by improving their data analysis skills and professional work ethic, while simultaneously assisting the partner agency in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of its financial administrative management. The FWP program highlights the importance of synergy between higher education institutions and the professional world in producing Actuarial Science graduates capable of adapting to the demands of a data-driven industry.

Abstract

Stimulasi berpikir komputasi (computational thinking, CT) pada pendidikan anak usia dini (PAUD) sangat bergantung pada kompetensi guru, sementara budaya lokal sebagai konteks belajar belum dimanfaatkan secara sistematis. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi guru PAUD anggota IGTKI-PGRI Kecamatan Polombangkeng Selatan, Kabupaten Takalar, dalam merancang dan mengimplementasikan aktivitas etnomatematika berbasis budaya Takalar sebagai stimulasi CT. Program dilaksanakan secara partisipatif melalui lima tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan dan evaluasi, serta keberlanjutan, yang dijabarkan ke dalam delapan sesi. Sosialisasi diikuti 72 dari 87 guru anggota, sedangkan pelatihan inti diikuti 30 guru perwakilan dari 25 satuan PAUD. Efektivitas program diukur dengan tes pemahaman CT (pre-test dan post-test), instrumen level keberdayaan mitra, dan lembar observasi implementasi. Rerata skor pemahaman CT meningkat dari 48,7 menjadi 79,4 (t(29) = 14,75; p < 0,001; dz = 2,69; N-gain = 0,60, kategori sedang), dan 83,3% guru mencapai skor minimal 75; abstraksi merupakan elemen dengan gain terendah (0,56). Program menghasilkan satu paket Lembar Kerja Anak (LKA) berbasis CT berisi 12 aktivitas dalam versi cetak dan digital serta 12 kartu budaya berbasis augmented reality (AR). LKA digunakan berulang oleh 84,0% satuan mitra, dan level keberdayaan mitra meningkat dari kategori Kurang Berdaya menjadi Berdaya pada aspek manajemen (1,85 menjadi 3,95) maupun aspek sosial-kemasyarakatan (1,90 menjadi 4,00). Etnomatematika berbasis budaya lokal menjadi pintu masuk yang kontekstual bagi guru PAUD untuk menstimulasi CT, dengan keberlanjutan yang ditopang mekanisme fasilitator sebaya.
