Abstract

The importance of the relationship between mathematical literacy skills and higher-order thinking skills is in line with the 3 competencies needed in the 21st century. Mathematical literacy skills are very important for students to understand the function of mathematics in everyday life through the formulation, use, and interpretation of mathematics in various contexts. This research aims to analyze and describe the mathematical literacy abilities of elementary school students through diagnostic assessments based on metacognitive abilities at PPL PPG Daljab. The type of research used in this research is descriptive qualitative with research subjects of 60 elementary school students who were reviewed through a diagnostic assessment based on metacognitive abilities. data collection through test results and questionnaire results. Data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing are carried out in data analysis. The research results obtained are that applying innovative learning models or methods can improve and develop the mathematical literacy skills of elementary school students, especially class V. So, teachers need to familiarize students with working on story problems, especially open-ended type story problems, and innovate in learning to motivate them. students to be actively and directly involved in the problem-solving process so that they can improve students mathematical literacy skills.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the challenges of implementing Joyful Learning in primary school mathematics instruction across four public schools in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi, addressing the gap between national curriculum policy endorsement of student-centered pedagogy and its actual classroom practice. Methods: A qualitative multi-site case study design was employed involving 12 mathematics teachers and 60 students across urban and peripheral schools. Data were collected through 48 classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, lesson plan (RPP) analysis, school assessment reports, and a student engagement questionnaire, analyzed using Miles and Huberman's (2014) interactive model. Findings: Only 25% of observed lessons incorporated joyful elements (40% urban vs. 10% peripheral schools). Student engagement averaged 2.3 out of 5.0, with 65% reporting persistent confusion and average achievement scores of 65/100. Research Implications: Effective Joyful Learning requires sustained mathematics-specific teacher professional development, equitable resource allocation, and structured community engagement programs. Policymakers should develop ready-to-use joyful mathematics modules aligned with Kurikulum Merdeka objectives and establish dedicated infrastructure funding for peripheral schools. Originality: This study provides the first multi-site empirical evidence of Joyful Learning implementation in a mid-sized Indonesian city, revealing how urban-peripheral resource disparities systematically determine pedagogical innovation outcomes at the primary school level.
