The purpose of this study was to find out student errors in solving problems about mathematical literacy. This study uses a qualitative research approach with sampling method is purposive sampling. The study subjects were three students who were taken based on KAM (Student Initial Ability), namely high, medium, and low ability categories. Each subject is one person per category from the Department of Accounting, Bandung State Polytechnic. This study analyzes student errors in solving mathematical literacy problems in the statistics course for the sub-discussion of hypothesis testing. The error analysis method used is Newman analysis. This study uses two instruments, namely a test instrument with four questions in the form of descriptions and interviews. The data will then be classified into five error categories according to Newman's analysis. The conclusions in this study indicate that there are errors in answering questions, especially for mathematical literacy questions; students are expected to be able to analyze questions in the form of story questions; Understanding the problem instructions and information contained in the problem is the first step in working on mathematical literacy problems so that the level of errors and errors in working on the questions is more resolved. Of the five errors that became the standard for Newman Error Analysis assessment, three errors were made by respondents, namely errors in understanding story questions correctly, errors in transforming story questions into mathematical sentences, and errors in writing the final answer.

This study aims to know mathematics preservice teachers’ common sense understanding of mathematical literacy. The results will later be used to design a learning program to introduce mathematical literacy to preservice teachers so that they have a better understanding of mathematical literacy. Data were collected by giving questionnaires to one hundred and eight mathematics preservice teachers. The result showed that mathematics preservice teachers’ views on mathematical literacy can be categorised into 5 areas: 1) ability that has to do with problems in people’s daily life, 2) communicating using mathematics concepts and properties, 3) interpreting mathematical sentences into everyday language or vice versa, 4) activity related to reading and writing about mathematics, 5) basic knowledge of mathematics. Preservice teachers agreed that learning mathematics in schools should connect mathematical concepts with real-life problems. They are also ready to increase the mathematical literacy abilities of their future students.

This study aims to determine the effect of information computer technology (ICT)-based learning media and learning discipline on the effectiveness of mathematics learning process. The experi-ment was carried out in two groups where each group was given different treatments. The first group was taught using ICT-based learning media, while the second group was taught using conventional learning media. Each group was further divided into two categories according to their level of discipline, namely groups with high levels of discipline and groups with low levels of discipline. The method used in this research is an experiment with a treatment by level analysis model. The type of test used is Anova Two-Way. Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that the group taught using ICT-based learning media obtained a higher effectiveness of learning pro-cess than the group taught using conventional learning media. and groups that have a high level of discipline get a higher effectiveness of the learning process than groups with low levels of dis-cipline. and it is also evident that there is an influence of the interaction between the use of ICT-based learning media and the level of discipline on the effectiveness of learning process.

This study is motivated by students' low relational thinking ability. Relational thinking is one of the interesting problems in mathematics education. In this study will be examined the ability of relational thinking field-dependent and independent students in solving the arithmetic word problem. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. This research was conducted on 7th-grade of junior school students of Surabaya. The subjects of this study were 1 student who had a field-independent cognitive style and 1 student who had a field-dependent cognitive style. The data of the students' relational thinking process is obtained through the results of solving arithmetic word problem and interviews. Subject selection is done using instrument group embedded figures test. The results of the research showed that students with cognitive field-dependent experiences had difficulties in thinking and have not been able to establish the relationship between information elements and previous knowledge to solve problems. Whereas students with independent field cognitive styles were capable of relational thinking, namely by building interrelationships between elements of information and prior knowledge and knowledge of the properties of structure to solve problems.

The two indigenous Makian languages, Western Makian (Makian Luar) and Eastern Makian (Makian Dalam/Taba), stem from two different language families in North Maluku. The indigenous Makian people are typically ignorant of the riches of values and knowledge reserved in their language and culture, including mathematical content. Therefore, through an ethnography approach, this study identifies mathematical terminologies (natural numbers, fractions, number operations, indefinite quantifiers and adverbs of time) that exist in indigenous Makian languages. Data Collecting was conducted through in-depth interviews with indigenous community leaders and some primary literature reviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The mathematical language that has been identified along with the context of its use can be a good entry point and a mean-ingful material in integrating indigenous languages and cultures in mathematics learning.
