Abstract

This research examines the declining trend in numeracy achievement among junior high school students in Central Papua based on the 2024-2025 Education Report. As the youngest province with challenging geographical characteristics, Central Papua faces complex problems in equitable quality education. The research aims to analyze the declining trend in numeracy achievement, identify determinant factors, and formulate contextual policy recommendations. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes secondary data from the Ministry of Education and Culture's Education Report using temporal comparative analysis, spatial gap analysis, correlational analysis, and factor analysis techniques. Results show a significant decrease in numeracy achievement from 48.54% (2024) to 45.96% (2025), contrary to the increasing national trend (57.42% to 59.75%). Five determinant factors include: lack of contextual teaching materials, low pedagogical literacy among teachers, limited supporting infrastructure, students' negative perceptions of mathematics, and low literacy skills as barriers to understanding numeracy problems. In conclusion, the declining trend in numeracy achievement in Central Papua requires holistic interventions including the development of teaching materials based on local wisdom, strengthening teacher capacity, improving supporting infrastructure, and an ecological approach involving various stakeholders to optimize the quality of numeracy education.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze teachers' perceptions of the development of mathematics materials based on Papuan local wisdom in enhancing numeracy skills among junior high school students. The integration of local wisdom in mathematics learning becomes an important strategy for creating meaningful and contextual learning experiences. The research methodology employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and questionnaires administered to mathematics teachers in junior high schools across Papua. Research subjects include mathematics teachers with a minimum of three years teaching experience who have implemented culturally-based learning approaches. Data analysis was conducted using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity and reliability of research findings. The results demonstrate that teachers maintain positive perceptions toward the development of mathematics materials based on Papuan local wisdom, with indicators including increased student learning motivation, enhanced conceptual understanding, and improved relevance of learning to daily life experiences. The implementation of local wisdom in mathematics materials proves effective in improving students' numeracy skills through learning approaches that accommodate local cultural values. These findings contribute significantly to the development of more contextual and meaningful mathematics learning strategies for students in the Papua region, providing valuable insights for educational stakeholders seeking to bridge cultural heritage with academic excellence.
