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.

Abstract

Pembelajaran matematika perlu menjadi jembatan untuk memberikan pengetahuan di kelas agar matematika dapat eksis dalam kehidupan sosial budaya sehari-hari Hal ini dilakukan untuk membantu siswa dan masyarakat lebih memahami pentingnya belajar matematika karena pembelajaran matematika erat kaitannya dengan aktivitas kehidupan bermasyarakat. Faraid merupakan ilmu pembagian harta warisan. Dalam menghitung faraid, ilmu matematika memegang peranan paling penting dalam menyelesaikan kasus pembagian harta warisan antar ahli waris. Hingga saat ini masih banyak masyarakat yang salah dalam membagi harta warisan sehingga timbul konflik antar keluarga karena menganggap pembagian harta warisan tidak adil. Hal ini terjadi dikarenakan pengetahuan masyarakat sangat terbatas terhadap matematika sehingga masih salah dalam hal pembagian warisan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan pandangan tokoh masyarakat di Aceh Utara terhadap praktik perhitungan Faraid secara filsafat pendidikan matematika. Kualitatif deskriptif merupakan pendekatan penelitian ini dengan metode   etnografi. Hasi penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) persfektif perhitungan Faraid yang dilakukan oleh tokoh masyarakat Aceh Utara hampir sama untuk semua desa yaitu menggunakan metode pembagian ridha-meuridha atau tameu jeut-jeut; (2) keterkaitan filsafat pendidikan matematika dengan perhitungan Faraid dapat dilihat secara ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi terkait praktik perhitungan Faraid; dan (3) perhitungan Faraid pada pembagian harta waris secara tidak langsung telah menerapkan konsep perhitungan matematika berupa konsep bilangan yaitu kelipatan persekutuan terkecil, sifat bilangan rasional, penjumlahan dan pengurangan bilangan, bilangan bulat positif dan perkalian pecahan dengan bilangan bulat. AbstractMathematics learning should be a bridge to provide knowledge in the classroom, so that mathematics can be applied in everyday socio-cultural life. This helps students and society better understand the importance of learning mathematics, as it is closely related to social life activities. Faraid is the science of dividing inheritance, where mathematics plays the most important role in resolving cases of dividing inheritance between heirs. However, many people still make mistakes in dividing inheritance, resulting in conflicts between families because they think the distribution of inheritance is unfair. This happens because people’s knowledge of mathematics is very limited, and they still make mistakes when it comes to dividing inheritance. The aim of this research is to describe the views of community leaders in North Aceh regarding the practice of Faraid calculations from the philosophy of mathematics education. The research uses descriptive qualitative approach and ethnographic methods. The results show that (1) the Faraid calculation perspective carried out by North Aceh community leaders is almost the same for all villages, namely using the ridha-meuridha or tameu jeut-jeut distribution method; (2) the relationship between the philosophy of mathematics education and Faraid calculations can be seen in terms of ontology, epistemology, and axiology related to the practice of Faraid calculations; and (3) Faraid’s calculations for the distribution of inheritance indirectly apply the concept of mathematical calculations in the form of number concepts, such as the least common multiple, the nature of rational numbers, addition and subtraction of numbers, positive integers, and multiplication of fractions with whole numbers.
