Abstract

Referring to the results of an international survey, one of which is PISA, the achievements of Indonesian students are still below the global average score. The main problem that is the causative factor is that students need to be used to solving similar problems. The issues used in PISA questions are familiar to only some students in Indonesia. This study aimed to develop PISA model mathematical problems with valid and reliable local contexts and potential impacts. The type of research conducted is development research using the ADDIE model with the stages of analysis, design, development, and evaluation. The test subjects were fifth-grade elementary school students in Bengkulu and South Sumatra provinces. The research instruments were product development validity sheets, legibility sheets, and student response questionnaires. Data analysis consisted of validity analysis using the Aiken Index and reliability with Cronbach Alpha. The study results show that PISA model mathematical questions with the regional context meet the validity, reliability, and potential impact criteria. The results of the implementation test showed that 11 students (27.50%) were in the low category, 32 students (55.00%), and 7 students (17.50%) were in the high category.

Abstract

Purpose: Statistical literacy has emerged as a fundamental competency in higher education, enabling students to critically interpret, evaluate, and communicate data in an increasingly data-driven society. This study investigated the contributions of digital literacy and reading literacy to university students' statistical literacy. Methodology: A quantitative correlational design was employed with 147 students from three academic departments within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Bengkulu. Data were collected using validated instruments measuring digital literacy, reading literacy, and statistical literacy and analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. Findings: Both digital literacy (β = 0.344, p < .001) and reading literacy (β = 0.431, p < .001) exerted significant positive effects on statistical literacy, with the regression model explaining 43.5% of the variance. Reading literacy demonstrated a stronger predictive influence, underscoring the importance of comprehending, evaluating, and synthesizing written information in developing statistical reasoning. Although participants reported relatively high levels of digital and reading literacy, their statistical literacy remained comparatively lower across all departments, suggesting that technological proficiency alone is insufficient to cultivate robust statistical competence. Significance: The findings conceptualize statistical literacy as a multidimensional competency requiring the integration of digital, cognitive, and interpretive skills. Strengthening digital literacy alongside reading literacy can substantially enhance students' capacity to interpret and apply statistical information. Accordingly, higher education institutions should embed authentic data-analysis tasks, digital learning resources, and critical reading practices within statistics instruction to better prepare graduates for evidence-based decision-making in increasingly data-intensive contexts.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines seventh-grade students’ mathematical conceptual understanding of algebra and identifies areas of conceptual difficulty. The study responds to concerns about weak algebraic understanding, reflected in a mean daily assessment score of 49.21 at a junior secondary school in Bengkulu, Indonesia. Methodology – A descriptive qualitative design involved 36 seventh-grade students. Data were collected through a mathematical conceptual understanding test and follow-up interviews. Students’ responses were analysed across indicators of restating concepts, representing concepts, selecting appropriate procedures, and applying concepts to problem solving. Findings – No students were classified in the high category; 16 students (44.44%) were in the moderate category and 20 (55.56%) in the low category, with an overall mean score of 27.08. Achievement was highest for restating concepts (42%), followed by representing concepts (31%), using appropriate procedures (22%), and applying concepts in problem solving (13%). Interviews also identified learning environment, facilities, self-regulation, learning independence, and access to learning resources as contextual factors related to students’ difficulties. Novelty – The study provides an indicator-level diagnostic profile showing that students’ difficulties become more pronounced as algebraic understanding moves from recalling and representing concepts toward procedural selection and problem application. Significance – The findings contribute contextual evidence to international research on algebra learning by identifying a progression of conceptual difficulties that can inform diagnostic assessment and targeted instruction in comparable lower-secondary mathematics settings.

Abstract

Purpose – Problem-solving is a key component in mathematics education, as emphasized by the NCTM. At SMAN 6 Kota Bengkulu, students’ performance in trigonometry remains low due to weak problem-solving skills and limited engagement. This study investigates the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, supported by mathematical literacy worksheets, on students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities. Methodology – A quasi-experimental design was employed using the Nonequivalent Posttest-Only Control Group Design. The population consisted of all 10th-grade students at SMAN 6 Bengkulu. Two classes were selected: Class XJ as the experimental group, taught using the PBL model with literacy-based worksheets, and Class XI as the control group, taught using a Cooperative Learning model. Data were collected through a mathematical problem-solving test and analyzed using an independent t-test. Findings – Results showed a significant difference in performance, with t<sub>value</sub> = 3.713 > t<sub>critical</sub> = 1.673, indicating that the experimental group outperformed the control group in problem-solving ability. Novelty – This study offers a novel integration of PBL with mathematical literacy worksheets—an underexplored instructional approach in secondary trigonometry education. By combining content-specific literacy materials with a problem-based pedagogy, the study addresses a gap in research focused on enhancing higher-order thinking in mathematics. Significance – The findings provide empirical support for incorporating literacy-based, student-centered strategies in mathematics instruction. The study has implications for curriculum design aimed at improving problem-solving performance in similar educational contexts.

Abstract

Students face challenges in understanding the minimum competency assessment (AKM) mathematical literacy questions, as they struggle to interpret and solve the problems effectively. This difficulty stems from their low comprehension of the questions and limited problem-solving skills, particularly when confronted with questions differing from the examples provided by the teacher. This study investigates students’ abilities to solve AKM mathematical literacy questions using Polya’s problem-solving steps. The research is descriptive with a qualitative approach, involving a population of all Grade VIII students at SMP 21 Bengkulu City during the 2023/2024 academic year. The sample consisted of 30 students from class VIII.3 and 30 from class VIII.6. Data collection included test and non-test (interview) methods, utilizing AKM-based test instruments and Polya step-guided problem-solving tasks. Results indicated that 44 students (73.33%) demonstrated low ability, 11 students (18.33%) showed medium ability, and only 5 students (8.33%) exhibited high ability in solving AKM literacy questions. Overall, students’ problem-solving skills were categorized as low, with notable difficulties in planning, executing, and reviewing solutions to mathematical problems.
