Numerical literacy is the ability to collaborate understanding and knowledge of mathematics effectively in facing life's challenges. This ability is very important for every student to solve everyday problems, including dyscalculia students (having difficulty learning mathematics). This research is a qualitative descriptive describing the need for a digital-based module to improve the numerical literacy of dyscalculia students. The digital-based module is an application to be used anytime and anywhere. The subjects of this study were six teachers and 18 students with dyscalculia, a combination of six primary schools in Kudus Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The instruments used in this study were interview sheets, observation sheets, and questionnaires for a digital module need. Students were classified as dyscalculia based the dyscalculia screening test and the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) test. The data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. This study indicates that a digital module is needed by teachers to improve the numerical literacy of elementary school students, especially students with dyscalculia. The development of a digital module can increase students’ motivation and interest in studying abstract mathematical concepts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
