Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between affective mathematical disposition (MD) and numeracy among pre-service mathematics teachers in Indonesia. The research examines explicitly how different dimensions of MD influence students' numeracy skills. A total of 237 participants took part in a semester-long numeracy enrichment program, followed by a numeracy assessment and an MD questionnaire based on Beyers' seven affective dimensions. Using multiple linear regression analysis, the findings indicate that MD significantly affects numeracy (p = 0.018), with an adjusted R-squared value of 0.571, indicating that 57.1% of the variance in numeracy scores can be explained by MD. Notably, the dimensions "Nature in Mathematics" (β = 0.584, p = 0.033) and "Mathematics Self-Concept" (β = 0.612, p = 0.016) exhibit significant positive influences on numeracy. Highlighting the role of conceptual understanding and self-perception in mathematical learning. These results align with the program’s design, which emphasized conceptual understanding and reflective self-assessment elements directly tied to both dimensions. However, other dimensions, including "Usefulness," "Worthwhileness," "Sensibleness," "Attitude," and "Math Anxiety," did not show significant effects. This may be due to participants' shared perceptions as mathematics teacher candidates, resulting in low variability on those dimensions, or due to possible mediation effects (e.g., motivation) that were not examined in this study. The findings suggest that interventions aiming to strengthen numeracy should focus on enhancing students’ understanding of mathematical structures and fostering a strong self-concept as mathematics learners. This study contributes to mathematics education by highlighting the specific affective dimensions that most directly relate to numeracy, providing a nuanced perspective for teacher educators seeking to balance cognitive and affective development in their curriculum.   Keywords: mathematical disposition, affective domain, numeracy, pre-service mathematics teachers, mathematics education.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is a crucial competency for 21st-century teachers to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in various educational contexts. However, several pieces of evidence suggest that many prospective teachers struggle to develop mathematical literacy, which may hinder the effectiveness of mathematics learning. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mathematical literacy of prospective teachers through a systematic literature review of previous research. The study used the PRISMA protocol by searching articles from five reputable databases (ERIC, ProQuest, Taylor & Francis, Emerald Insight, and Scopus) using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the initial search results of 8659 articles, only 13 articles were eligible for further review after the screening and duplication removal process. The analysis was focused on six research questions which included: (1) the geographical distribution of the research, (2) the academic background of the research subject, (3) the research topic, (4) factors that affect mathematical literacy, (5) the readiness of prospective teachers, and (6) the form of debriefing by the teacher education program. The results showed that the mathematical literacy of prospective teachers was influenced by both internal factors, such as conceptual comprehension, self-efficacy, and anxiety, as well as external factors, including pedagogical training and sociocultural contexts. However, most teacher education programs have not optimally emphasized the development of contextual and applicative mathematical literacy. This study highlights the importance of strengthening the teacher education curriculum through a contextual, activity-based, and culturally responsive approach, enabling prospective teachers to develop and effectively implement mathematical literacy in diverse learning contexts.     Keywords: mathematical literacy, prospective teacher, systematic review, teacher education, pedagogical preparation.
