Improving Mathematical Literacy Ability of Elementary School Students Through A Field Trip Learning

Abstract

This study aims to improve the mathematical literacy ability of elementary school students by using field trip in mathematics learning. This research tried to find out the general description of field trip starting from planning, implementation, and evaluation. The object of field trip is adjusted to the mathematical material so that it gives an effect on students' mathematical literacy. The mathematical material used in this study is rounding and scale. The research design used for the trial was One Group Pretest-Posttest Design, by using n-gain test for data anlysis. Data collection is done through mathematical literacy tests and observations of student activities. The results showed an increase in mathematical literacy ability through the post-test and pretest. The first post-test obtained an increase of 54.48% and the second post-test 8.30%. The results of the N-Gain analysis showed the mathematical literacy ability of students in the rounding material and the scale increases from the first pretests of 0.7 and the second pretest of 0.77, of the two results indicate N-gain in the high category so that mathematics learning through the field trip can improve students' mathematical literacy effectively.

Application of Games-Based Mathematics Learning in the Preschool-Elementary Transition

“…Teknik Integrasi Aplikasi Permainan MSD Pada mahasiswa tingkatan sedang terdapat 8%, dan sebesar 2% mahasiswa yang mengalami kesulitan untuk dapat mengintegrasikan media Permainan MSD, keadaan tersebut terjadi karena beberapa mahasiswa mengalami kendala dalam perangkat yang digunakan. Mahasiswa mengalami kendala dalam proses instalasi dikarenakan perangkat yang digunakan tidak memenuhi standar untuk melakukan instalasi pada aplikasi media tersebut dan adanya keterbatasan pada memori internal perangkat yang mengakibatkan proses unduh dan instalasi mengalami hambatan dan harus melakukan uninstal pada beberapa aplikasi lain untuk dapat memenuhi standar perangkat yang diminta oleh aplikasi tersebut, hal tersebut juga dipengaruhi oleh sistem operasi yang dimiliki oleh mahasisa sehingga dalam praktik tidak dapat melakukan kegiatan dan menerapkan perkuliahan dengan baik karena kesulitan tersebut, sehingga Permainan MSD dalam proses Pembelajaran Matematika dan Sains tetapi keadaan tersebut tidak menghalangi calon pendidik dalam mempelajari dan juga mengembangkan materi-materi matematika dan sains yang dapat dipelajari melalui diskusi dan kolaborasi bersama teman sejawat bahkan dosen pengampu mata kuliah tersebut (S. H. Khotimah, 2019).…”

Field Trip Learning Method to Improve the Ability of Writing Descriptive Paragraph in Elementary School Students

“…Students in learning to write descriptive paragraphs find it difficult if they do not know the details of the object to be described in making an essay. Learning to write descriptive essays using the field trip method makes students motivated to optimally develop their creativity in describing certain objects given by the teacher (Khotimah et al, 2019;Sholekhah et al, 2016). The application of the field trip method in learning is not merely inviting students to travel somewhere, but inviting students to study outside the classroom to find out or investigate the truth of the knowledge students gain in class (Bravo et al, 2022;Prasanti & Karimah, 2021;Sanita et al, 2020).…”

Exploring the Students' Reading, Writing, and Numeracy Skills in Southeast Maluku Regency Coastal Elementary Schools

“…To increase students' motivation to learn, educators must recognize their starting skills, provide learning experiences, and develop learning media, facilities, and environment. Educators can help students to develop positive attitudes toward the subjects (for example, mathematics), increase self-efficacy and self-concept, encourage them, and minimize fears in the classroom (Susanti & Syam, 2017;Hadi & Zaidah, 2021;Khotimah, Budi & Sumantri, 2019;Sholeh, Supena & Arifuddin, 2021). On the other hand, students need to increase their accuracy in understanding the contents of a text in question and improve their ability to solve numeracy and literacy problems (Nurjanah et al, 2022).…”
