Abstract

Literacy skills are one of the mathematical abilities that all students need to have in today's global era. However, not all students in border schools have good mathematical literacy skills. This type of research is descriptive qualitative which aims to get an overview of the mathematical literacy skills of students in border areas in solving Minimum Competency Assessment-based problems and also identify factors that influence these skills. This study involved all 57 seventh grade students in the first semester of SPMN Lorontuan Atambua - NTT. The test questions were four numbers in the form of true and false, multiple correct answers and short form. The results of the analysis found that some of them could not read fluently; not all students had a good understanding of basic mathematical concepts; lack of learning experience of contextual problems or story problems that caused them to have difficulty understanding the problem, choosing the mathematical concept used to answer the problem and could not analyze the information provided. The reconstruction that we provide is the need to build a strong mathematical understanding by designing mathematics learning that integrates local wisdom and technology and provides them with varied learning experiences on story problems.         Keywords: math skills, literacy, schools at the border. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v25i2.pp728-751

Abstract

The Pirie-Kieren theory provides a dynamic framework that explains how mathematical understanding develops in layers, starting from initial introduction to reflection through eight layers of understanding. The eight layers of understanding are Primitive Knowing, Image Making, Image Having, Property Noticing, Formalizing, Observing, Structuring, and Inventising. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical understanding in solving literacy problems based on Pirie-Kieren's theory. This study is a qualitative descriptive study, involving 15 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Kupang Barat, Indonesia. The research instruments used were literacy tests and interviews. In-depth interviews were conducted with student representatives who had reached each layer of understanding. Student representatives were selected based on purposive sampling. Data analysis in this study was carried out in four stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and triangulation. The literacy test data were analyzed based on Pirie-Kieren's eight layers of understanding. The eight layers of understanding are. The results show that 73.33% of students reached the image having a layer of understanding, 13.33% reached the formalizing layer, 6.67% reached the image-making layer, and 6.67% reached only the primitive knowing layer. No students reached the observing, structuring, or inventing layers. The dominance of students in the image, having a level of understanding, shows that most students have only reached the initial stage. These results indicate that students' mathematical understanding of literacy questions remains at a basic level and has not developed into a reflective understanding.    Keywords: mathematical literacy, literacy questions, mathematical understanding, Pirie Kieren theory.
