Abstract

Mathematics instruction in Indonesia continues to encounter difficulties in cultivating students’ problem-solving abilities, particularly in topics related to algebraic expressions. This study seeks to examine instructional needs and to develop a problem-solving-oriented Student Worksheet (LKPD) tailored to algebraic form content. The research took place at SMP Negeri 6 Kupang Tengah Satu Atap, employing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology with a focus on the analysis and design phases of the ADDIE model. The participants were seventh-grade students. Data collection methods included classroom observations, teacher interviews, and document analysis. The analysis reveals that instruction remains predominantly teacher-centered, relying heavily on lectures, with low student engagement and a lack of supportive instructional media for fostering problem-solving. In response, a student worksheet was designed that incorporates Polya’s problem-solving framework and draws upon Kupang’s local context to enhance students’ problem-solving skills. This article reports on the needs assessment and the initial development of the worksheetTop of FormBottom of Form LKPD as the first step in developing contextual and meaningful teaching materials

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.
