Abstract

Literacy and numeracy are the abilities of students to use basic mathematics in solving daily life problems, and students should have it. Various studies have shown that Indonesian students' literacy and numeracy skills still need to improve. One of the solutions to this problem is RME, and one of the components that influence this skill is teachers as a facilitator and their experiences. Thus, this research aims to refigure how students who receive Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) literacy and numeracy skills improve based on teacher's experiences. The research subjects are third, fourth, and fifth-grade students in elementary schools in Padang. Three schools were selected for each grade level and taught by three teachers with different experiences. The students were given literacy and numeracy problems before and after RME instruction. The answers were assessed and grouped to examine the student's literacy and numeracy achievement. The research results show that student's literacy and numeracy skills are better with RME learning. Student's literacy and numeracy skills are not influenced by teachers' experience.

Abstract

PISA studies from 2000 to 2022 revealed that the achievements of Thailand’s students in mathematics were always better than those of Indonesian students. Thailand still uses the 2008 curriculum until now. Meanwhile, Indonesia already changed its curriculum three times during these periods, namely Curriculum 2006, Curriculum 2013, and Curriculum 2020. Based on this data, it is important to investigate the impact of the curriculum and its implementation on students’ mathematical literacy. This study aimed to investigate how students in Thailand performed better in mathematical literacy compared to their Indonesian counterparts within the context of mathematics curricula.  We compared the mathematics curricula of the two countries and analyzed the implementation of the curricula in mathematics learning. Document analysis, observations, and interviews were conducted. The results show that the curricula and how they are implemented in the two countries are not strikingly different. Three notable differences are students’ focus in the learning process, the preparation of learning admissions by teachers, and changes in the curriculum.
