<![CDATA[The mathematical literacy ability of students is still relatively low, and they have not been trained optimally. This study aims to analyze the level of mathematical literacy of prospective mathematics teacher students in the Selected Capita of Elementary Mathematics Education II course. The material includes the Pythagorean Theorem, Quadrilaterals and Triangles, Curved Side Spaces, and Comparison. The subjects of the study involved 25 students who were taking the Selected Capita of Elementary Mathematics Education II course. The research method used was qualitative with the Phenomenology Hermeneutic approach. The stages of the Phenomenology Hermeneutic approach are deciding on research questions, identifying pre-understanding, gaining understanding through dialogue with participants, gaining knowledge through dialogue with text, and building trust. Data were collected through descriptions of student answers and selected interviews. The data analysis technique follows the steps of Miles & Huberman. Question number 3 has a literacy indicator, namely interpreting solutions in problem-solving (interpret). The focus of the analysis is on students' answers to question number 3. Three students answered correctly, while one student answered with a few errors. While answers from 20 students contain significant errors, 1 student did not provide an answer. 3 students, who correctly answered question number 3, belong to moderate-ability students. Nevertheless, none of the students from the high-ability group were able to answer perfectly. This shows that students with moderate ability are better at answering question number 3 than students with high ability. Of the 20 student answers with the criteria of many errors, two answer patterns were found, errors in process skills and errors in writing the final answer. Efforts are needed to improve literacy skills through the presentation of literacy questions and learning that supports the development of students' mathematical literacy.
