Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of a problem-based learning (PBL) approach on statistical literacy in mathematics education, taking into account students' initial mathematical ability. The study used a pre-experimental research design with students categorized according to their initial mathematical ability (high, medium and low). The statistical literacy test scores of 60 students were analyzed using one-way ANOVA to assess differences between the groups. The results showed that students' initial mathematical ability significantly influenced their level of statistical literacy. The constructivism-based PBL approach shows potential for improving mathematical literacy, especially for students with low and medium initial mathematical ability. However, too much focus on constructivism theory and a lack of proper lesson planning may hinder the effectiveness of PBL implementation.

Abstract

This study investigated students' understanding of the concept through a pre-test and a post-test. Analysis of the pre-test showed that the initial abilities of students in the experimental and control groups were comparable, allowing for a fair comparison. Variations in students' ability to solve mathematical problems were investigated through post-test and N-gain data using different learning approaches. Two main hypotheses were proposed in this study: firstly, the experimental group would show a higher level of conceptual understanding than the control group; secondly, there would be a significant difference in improving students' conceptual understanding at different levels of ability. The analysis showed that the experimental group had a significantly higher level of conceptual understanding than the control group, which supported the first hypothesis. This finding indicates that the intervention positively affects students' conceptual understanding. In addition, the analysis results also showed a significant difference in the improvement of students' conceptual understanding with different proficiency levels, which supports the second hypothesis. These findings highlight the importance of learning approaches tailored to student's needs and abilities. This study provides strong evidence that specific mathematics learning models and initial mathematics ability contribute to improving students' conceptual understanding. These findings highlight the importance of tailored learning approaches to maximize students' mathematical concept understanding. The findings have valuable implications for educators and curriculum developers to develop more effective teaching strategies according to students' needs.
