Abstract

Numeracy is one of the basic skills for students is still a serious problem that has not been resolved in elementary schools. Not a few elementary school students have difficulty understanding basic numeracy material. Teachers are required to always innovate so that numeracy learning is easier for students to understand. This study aims to analyze stu dents' numeracy ability in terms of students' gender differences. Through this research, it is hoped that teachers will have a reference as an evaluation material in determining treatment to improve students' numeracy ability. This research was designed in the form of qualitative descriptive research. Data collection using tests. The tests used are in the form of an ability to recognize place value and a basic arithmetic operation ability test. Data collection was carried out at one of the public elementary schools in the Central Lombok district. The subjects in this study were 78 elementary school students consisting of 30 male students and 48 female students. The results showed that there were differences in numeracy ability between male and female students. The numeracy ability of female students is higher than that of male students. Boys tend to lag behind female students in terms of basic numeracy ability. Female students dominate at high-level numeracy ability while male students only dominate at low-level numeracy abilities.

Abstract

Preliminary studies show that elementary school students who come from migrant worker families tend to have learning difficulties. Based on this phenomenon, researchers feel challenged to dig deeper into the phenomenon. This study aims to find out what forms of learning difficulties are experienced by students and the factors that cause them. The type of research used is a case study. The study was conducted in six public and private elementary schools in North Batukliang sub-district, Central Lombok regency. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews. Informants in this study were principals, teachers, and student caregivers. The results of the study found that on average the children of migrant workers experienced cognitive difficulties and behavioral disturbances. The forms of learning difficulties experienced include difficulty in reading and writing (basic literacy skills), and difficulties in arithmetic operations and number recognition (basic numeracy skills). Several factors are suspected to be the cause of student learning difficulties, including lack of tutoring from parents, low student motivation, constrained behavior disorders, low learning culture of students' social environment, and limited learning facilities owned by students.
