Abstract

Statistical literacy is a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of students' numeracy and literacy. The facts show that the statistical literacy ability of Indonesian students is still in an alarming category and Indonesian students for junior high school have not been able to compete internationally in the statistical literacy. This qualitative descriptive research was conducted to describe junior high school students’ ability and difficulties in basic skills of statistical literacy. Data were collected from 6 students of 8th grade in one of junior high school in Aceh, Indonesia through test and interviews. The results clearly show that students’ statistical literacy are still in low category. Students are good in understanding the data but they have limited understanding of the data presentation concept. Students have difficulty in using the principle of presenting the data into the pie chart. Many steps of presenting the data are not complete. From this study can be concluded that students’ basic skills of statisical literacy has not been satisfied. Therefore, mathematics learning process in data presentation concept should be improved.

Abstract

Misconception on algebra is one of the fundamental problems in mathematics learning. Misconception on algebra is a condition in which the student does not correctly understand and master the algebraic concept. This can cause students fail in building a correct knowledge framework, both in the concept of algebra and in other mathematical concepts using algebra. This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of misconceptions in initial algebra. A total of 52 eighth grade students from two different schools were given an algebra test and six students were interviewed afterwards. The results showed that most students made mistakes and were not correctly understanding simple algebraic forms, such as variables, coefficients and similar terms. It was concluded that students experienced some misconceptions on the basic concept of algebra.
