<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the association between growth mindset and students' mathematical literacy and mathematical representation skills in vocational high school. A quantitative approach with an ex post facto method of associative-correlational nature was employed. The study population consisted of all 10th-grade students at SMK Bina Insan Mandiri in Cirebon. The sample consisted of 20 10th-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a growth mindset questionnaire (25 valid items, α = .943), a mathematical literacy test (6 valid items, α = .702), and a mathematical representation test (7 valid items, α = .844). Data were analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The Shapiro-Wilk normality test confirmed that dependent variables were normally distributed (Sig. = .787 and .230), linearity assumptions were satisfied (Sig. = .853 and .165), and Levene's homogeneity test was met (Sig. = .467 and .121). MANOVA results using Pillai’s Trace indicated F = 4,699 with Sig. = .004, indicating that growth mindset was simultaneously and significantly associated with both mathematical skills. Partially, growth mindset was significantly associated with mathematical literacy (F = 14.701; Sig. = .000; R² = 0.634) and mathematical representation (F = 8.790; Sig. = .002; R² = 0.508). Students with high growth mindset demonstrated significantly higher mathematical literacy and representation skills than those in the medium and low groups. Given the small sample size (n = 20) drawn from a single school through purposive sampling, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary and are not intended to be generalized beyond the studied context.]]>
