Analysis toward relationship between mathematical literacy and creative thinking abilities of students

Abstract

The skills that need to be possessed by teachers, especially mathematics teachers in the revolution 4.0 to deal with 21st century students include critical, creative, collaborative and communicative. Another skill needed is mathematical literacy. The aim of this research is to examine how the relationship between mathematical literacy and student`s creative thinking abilities. In this study, mathematical literacy has three aspects, namely interpret problems, formulate problems, and use mathematics inside solve the problem. And, creative thinking abilities has 4 aspect, namely fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. The type of the research using correlation ex-post facto research which the researcher does not give treatment to the respondent so that this study only reveals the variable as it is without connecting with other variables. Population used is all first semester students in the 2018/2019 academic year at Ahmad Dahlan University, which numbered 315 people with a total sample of 206 people. Technique data collection carried out in this study is data on mathematical literacy and student’s creative thinking abilities taken by distributing test instruments and interview. Test description is tested as much as 5 items which is a matter of mathematical literacy and creative thinking ability. Data analysis using regresion analysis and correlation coefficient test using Pearson product moment correlation technique. The results of the study indicates there is significant relationship between literacy skills mathematics with creative thinking of students.

Mathematics Critical Thinking Skills for The Third Grade Elementary School Students on Fractions Material

“…Based on data it can be seen that the students' ability to think critically is low. This is similar to several previous studies who found that students' critical thinking was low where the student could not understand the problem, could not write mathematical models or formulas, and could not give conclusions (Fitrianawati et al, 2020). In addition, other previous study mathematical critical thinking skills found that students' critical thinking was low, where students did not do the questions well at all (Fitrianawati et al, 2020;Hidayat & Sari, 2019).…”

“…At the evaluation stage, the subject cannot explain the arrangement of problem solving, and at the inference stage the subject is unable to provide conclusions of what was asked in the question. Based on the description test and interview with low critical thinking skills, it is not in line with previous research statement that state a critical person has the ability to analyze, interpret, and evaluate (Fitrianawati et al, 2020).…”

Ecoliteracy s contribution to creative thinking: a study of senior high school students

“…In the context of education, students need to acquire creative thinking skills to solve complex problems (Awang, H., & Ramly, 2008;Baran et al, 2021). According to the TIMSS (Trends in Mathematics and Science Study), the creative thinking skills of Indonesian pupils are low (Fitrianawati et al, 2020;Istiyono et al, 2020). Hence, creative thinking skills need improvement in their implementation in schools to create a new generation capable of competing globally (Irmita & Atun, 2018;Kan'An, 2018;Marni et al, 2020).…”

Design of an Intelligent Sensor Teaching Experiment System and Measurement of Student Innovation Literacy

“…For example, in the experimental teaching link the virtual instrument development tool LabVIEW is introduced, which allows students to autonomously design hardware and software systems and use software simulation and hardware circuits to create sensor data acquisition and control systems [7][8]. At the same time, students may exercise their practical and practical abilities, the capacity to evaluate and solve issues, and the ability of autonomous learning and creativity [9] and enhance their overall quality through experimental instructional content and the independent learning process [10][11].…”
