Development of E-Worksheet Based on Realistic Mathematics Education to Support Mathematical Literacy Skills of Junior High School Students

Abstract

The results of the 2018 PISA show that students’ mathematical literacy skills in Indonesia are quite low. This is because students are rarely given assignments in the form of mathematical literacy questions during learning, but students are only used to getting explanations and memorizing formulas. Another cause is that today’s teaching materials tend to go directly to abstract mathematics by starting with the presentation of concepts and formulas and rarely contain literacy questions. This research aims to develop an e-worksheet based on the Realistic Mathematics Education Approach to support the valid and practical literacy skills of junior high school students. The development carried out refers to the Formative Evaluation type by Tessmer, which consists of the preliminary and prototyping stages (expert review, one-to-one, and small group). The research subjects were 8th graders in SMP Negeri 1 Talang Kelapa with 3 students (high, moderate, and low level) for the one-to-one phase and 6 students (high, moderate, and low level) for the small group phase. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data regarding the validity and practicality of the e-worksheet. The results showed that the e-worksheet based on a realistic mathematics education approach to support the mathematical literacy skills of junior high school students is valid, based on the expert review and one-to-one phases, and practical, based on the small group stage. Furthermore, this developed-e-worksheet can be used by teachers or other researchers in the field test phase to see the potential effects given.

Realistic mathematics education (RME) to improve literacy and numeracy skills of elementary school students based on teachers’ experience

“…To achieve literacy and numeracy, teachers must also pay attention to the learning process. Several researchers have used RME as a solution to the problems of students' literacy and numeracy abilities (Fauzana et al, 2020;Purwanti et al, 2019;Sari et al, 2023;Sumirattana et al, 2017;Umbara & Nuraeni, 2019). On research Sari et al (2023), Researchers developed an RME-based e-liveworksheet for the literacy skills of junior high school level students.…”

The results show that the e-learance live worksheet has a good impact on students' literacy and numeracy skills.…”
