Abstract

Mathematical literacy is a crucial competency for university students, yet research indicates that many students struggle to apply it effectively. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical mindsets in addressing mathematical literacy challenges and their implications for mathematics education in higher education. The research employs a descriptive qualitative design, involving three second-semester students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods include observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of mathematical literacy tests, focusing on indicators such as the ability to formulate mathematical situations, apply mathematical concepts and procedures, and interpret mathematical results. Data analysis was conducted through several stages: data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions, identifying students' mindsets in solving mathematical problems, and source triangulation. The findings reveal that students' mathematical thinking is influenced by cognitive development, cognitive style, and problem-solving strategies. While some students successfully solve mathematical literacy problems, they still make errors in several concepts and often exhibit carelessness in reading the questions. This research has significant implications for mathematics education in higher education, including the need to emphasize conceptual understanding, balance procedures, and concepts, and utilize visual representations. The development of teaching materials and mathematical literacy questions should be designed to accommodate diverse student mindsets and be grounded in realistic contexts.

Abstract

This study analyzes students' numeracy literacy skills at the middle level (levels 3 and 4). The research subjects comprised three students from SDN (elementary school) 106831 Bakaran Batu, Deli Serdang Regency, representing varying initial math abilities (high, medium, and low). Student groupings were based on data from mathematics test scores. The research follows a descriptive qualitative approach using Sugiyono’s methodology. The research instrument employed was a mid-level numeracy literacy ability test (level 3 and level 4), which included questions assessing cognitive processes related to application and reasoning, as well as interview guidelines. Data analysis techniques involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The study revealed that highly skilled students demonstrated proficiency in level 3 (application) and level 4 (reasoning) numeracy literacy. However, students with moderate and low abilities struggled to understand questions at these levels. Common student errors included failing to record relevant information from the questions, making mistakes in problem-solving processes, and neglecting to document their answer conclusions. The main factor hindering students' ability to answer moderate-level numeracy literacy questions appears to be their lack of familiarity with word problems related to everyday life. Additionally, students have difficulty grasping the relationship between concepts presented in contextual problems.
