Abstract

The School Literacy Movement (SLM) is a program designed to facilitate the acquisition of student literacy competencies. Schools that implement this government program will undoubtedly have an impact on the literacy abilities of their students, including reading literacy, scientific literacy, digital literacy, numeracy, and so on. This forms the basis for conducting research with the aim of describing the implementation of SLM in Junior High Schools throughout the Kefamenanu Sub-District. The respondents in this study include school principals, SLM administrators, library heads, Mathematics teachers, and Indonesian Language teachers. Data collection techniques employed are interviews and observation. Subsequently, data is analyzed using the flow model by Miles and Huberman, which involves data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and conclusion drawing. Findings from the research indicate that junior high schools in the Kefamenanu Sub-District have implemented SLM from the habituation stage to the development and learning stages; however, the implementation is inconsistent and not yet optimal. Thus, the execution of SLM requires maximum attention from stakeholders, involving teachers, parents, alumni, and community members.

Abstract

Mathematics is a form of culture inherent in all aspects of society's life. In the cultural practices of certain communities, mathematical concepts are involved. There is an intersection between culture and mathematics. Therefore, this research is conducted to explore the mathematical concepts used by traders. This study was conducted at the Niki-Niki Traditional Market. The research subjects consist of 6 individuals, with 2 betel nut sellers, 2 chili pepper sellers, and 2 woven fabric sellers. The data in this study are primary data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data analysis employs the techniques of ethnographic research data analysis, including domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis. The results of the research indicate that there are mathematical concepts of plane geometry and integers in the activities of traders. Concepts of plane geometry include points, rectangles, circles, rhombuses, straight lines, curved lines, and fractal geometry. Meanwhile, mathematical concepts related to integers include sets, counting, addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.

Abstract

Mathematics is a universal science, and it is crucial for everyone to master it, both in terms of its applications and its cognitive patterns. The purpose of this research is to explore the concepts of mathematics and cultural values found in the artifacts of Sonaf Tamkesi Manufui. The study was conducted in the traditional village of Tamkesi, south Biboki District, North Central Timor Regency, in July 2023. The subjects of this study were three community leaders. The type of data collected for this research was primary data obtained through documentation and interviews between the researcher and the respondents. Data analysis was conducted through stages of domain analysis, taxonomy, componential analysis, and cultural themes. The research findings indicate that there are concepts of plane geometry in the artifacts such as trapeziums, rectangles, squares, rhombuses, triangles, circles, cylinders, hexagons, and cubes. Meanwhile, the cultural values of the artifacts in Sonaf Tamkesi are the roof symbolizes harmony, the door symbolizes greatness and respect for ancestors, the pillars symbolize vertical relations with ancestors, the betel-nut container symbolizes service, the clay pot symbolizes a gift from ancestors to the living, the hearth symbolizes balance, and harmony in achieving goals.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mathematical communication skills of grade VIII students of the First Secondary School on the material of Relations and Functions. The method used was qualitative descriptive research with the subjects of 21 students in class VIII-B for the 2024/2025 school year. Data was collected through a description test that included indicators of mathematical communication skills and interviews to deepen the results of the analysis. The results of the study show that students' written mathematical communication skills still vary with a tendency to be in the medium to low category. The indicator expressing mathematical ideas in written and visual form obtained the highest achievement of 76.38%, while the indicator interpreted and evaluated ideas only reached 52.86% and the use of mathematical notation reached 47.62%. High-skill students are able to write mathematical models correctly even though the use of formal terms is not consistent, moderate-skill students tend to provide limited explanations, while low-skill students copy more problems without constructing a proper mathematical model. These findings indicate the need for a learning strategy that emphasizes written mathematical communication exercises in a more orderly manner, both in the form of sentences, tables, graphs, and symbols to improve the quality of students' understanding of concepts

Abstract

This study explores differences in numeracy between junior high school students with Field-Dependent (FD) and Field-Independent (FI) cognitive styles. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study was conducted in two junior high schools in Kefamenanu, West Timor, Indonesia. Forty students, evenly distributed across the two schools, participated in the study. Data were collected through numeracy tests and in-depth interviews to examine students’ performance across three numeracy components: understanding, application, and reasoning. The findings reveal that students with an FI cognitive style generally demonstrated competence in all three components, although some experienced difficulties in reasoning tasks requiring critical evaluation and formal justification. In contrast, students with an FD cognitive style tended to achieve only the understanding and application components and faced persistent challenges in progressing to the reasoning component. These results highlight the importance of differentiated numeracy instruction. FD students benefit from visual representations, explicit guidance, and collaborative learning to strengthen foundational, whereas FI students require non-routine and argumentative tasks to enhance higher-order reasoning. This study recommends that educators and future researchers implement inclusive numeracy literacy practices aligned with students’ cognitive styles.
