Abstract

Changes in the learning system and high academic demands put pressure on first- and second-year bachelor's mathematics education students and, therefore, can affect students' academic achievement. The purpose of this study was to examine academic stress factors and their impact on the educational achievement of mathematics education students in 80 respondents using a descriptive quantitative approach. This study discusses adolescent academic stress factors and covers students' physical and psychological well-being. The data obtained were analyzed using factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 30 daily stress factors of students into three specific stress factors: stress on lecture material, environment, and time management. The results of this study indicate that students have moderate levels of stress. Then, Pearson analysis was conducted to see the correlation between stress factors and cumulative grade point average. The results showed that the three factors did not significantly correlate to grades with a correlation power below 0.5. This means that students can manage their academic stress well.Student stress management approaches can focus on each factor separately, depending on individual needs. Internal and external support, strengthening academic literacy, improving conducive learning environment facilities, relevant skills development programs, and strengthening social networks can help reduce student stress.

Abstract

International studies, such as PISA 2022, show that Indonesian students' mathematical literacy is still relatively low. This study aims to determine the mathematical literacy ability of junior high school students in Metro City using quantitative methods. The research sample consisted of 248 students from 9 public junior high schools, selected via cluster random sampling: one class per school. Data were collected through a mathematical literacy test consisting of five essay questions and analyzed according to the ability criteria of Ebel and Frisbie. The results showed that students' average mathematical literacy score was 7.78 out of a maximum ideal score of 20. Most students were in the low and very low ability categories, indicating that the level of mathematical literacy in Metro City remains low. When viewed by sub-domain, students' abilities in algebra and statistics were in the moderate category, their abilities in numbers were in the low category, and their abilities in geometry were in the very low category. These findings indicate the need for further efforts to improve students' mathematical literacy, especially in numbers and geometry.
