Abstract

The numeracy skills of students in Indonesia are expected to be at a level that supports contextual problem-solving and higher-order thinking. However, international assessment results indicate that the numeracy skills of Indonesian students remain in the low category and have not yet met expected standards, as reflected in the 2022 PISA results, in which Indonesia achieved an average score of 366 points in mathematics well below the OECD average of 472 points. This study aims to analyze the numeracy ability of junior high school (SMP) students based on three cognitive domain indicators: Understanding (U), Applying (A), and Reasoning (R). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed with 32 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a written test consisting of 6 items with a maximum score of 72 points, supplemented by semi-structured interviews. Results indicate that the average numeracy score was 30.34%, classified as Low. No student reached the High or Very High category; 56.25% of students were in the Low category. Per-indicator analysis revealed a consistent decline from Understanding (38.80%), Applying (27.21%), to Reasoning (25.00%). Item 1a had the highest achievement rate (93.75%), while item 2c could not be answered by any student (0.00%). These findings indicate the urgent need for authentic context-based learning that fosters higher-order thinking skills at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This book review examines Problem-Based Learning in Elementary School: Strategies for What Helps Students Thrive by Samantha S. Reed, Carol A. Mullen, and Emily T. Boyles. The book discusses the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) as an instructional approach that supports students’ knowledge and skill development through collaborative engagement in solving authentic, real-world problems. This review adopts a descriptive-critical approach, analyzing the book’s content, theoretical foundation, key themes, and findings from teacher interviews, while also evaluating its relevance to classroom practice in elementary education. The book emphasizes the development of 21st-century skills, known as the 5Cs, namely critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and citizenship, and demonstrates how PBL can enhance student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement. Its main strength lies in bridging PBL theory with classroom practice through teachers’ lived experiences, making it highly relevant for educators and education stakeholders. However, the book has limitations, particularly in its limited discussion of assessment practices, teacher training, scaffolding strategies, and the challenges of implementing PBL across diverse educational contexts, indicating the need for further elaboration to strengthen its practical applicability.
