Abstract

Building community economic independence is a strategic priority for achieving inclusive and sustainable development, particularly in developing regions where access to economic resources remains unequal. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that integrates capacity-building training and micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) development as key drivers of community economic empowerment. The research employs a qualitative approach based on systematic literature review and conceptual synthesis to identify the main variables and relationships influencing economic independence. The findings indicate that capacity-building training plays a fundamental role in enhancing entrepreneurial capacity, including knowledge, skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy. This improvement subsequently contributes to MSME development, reflected in increased productivity, innovation, business growth, and financial performance. Furthermore, the relationship between capacity building and MSME development is strengthened by mediating factors such as social capital, mentoring, and institutional support, which facilitate collaboration and resource accessibility. External factors, including government policies, access to finance, and digitalization, also influence the effectiveness of these relationships. The study concludes that community economic independence is achieved through a comprehensive and integrated process involving internal capacity development and external ecosystem support. The proposed conceptual framework provides both theoretical and practical contributions by offering a systematic approach to designing sustainable community empowerment programs.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is one of the essential competencies that needs to be developed in school mathematics learning, as it plays an important role in equipping students to understand, interpret, and use mathematical concepts in various real-life situations. However, the development of mathematical literacy in learning practice still faces several challenges, such as the dominance of procedure-oriented instruction, the limited connection between mathematical content and everyday life contexts, and the lack of instructional strategies that promote students’ reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking. This article aims to examine the importance of mathematical literacy in school mathematics learning, identify the challenges encountered in its development, and describe various strategies that can be applied to support the improvement of students’ mathematical literacy. This article employs a literature review approach by examining various relevant scholarly sources related to mathematical literacy, mathematics learning, and instructional strategies. The results of the review indicate that the development of mathematical literacy can be supported through the implementation of contextual learning, problem-based learning, the use of non-routine problems, the strengthening of mathematical representation skills, and the integration of activities that encourage students’ mathematical reasoning and communication. Therefore, mathematical literacy needs to be positioned as a primary orientation in mathematics learning so that students are not only able to solve problems procedurally, but also able to use mathematics meaningfully in everyday life.
