Measuring Students’ Mathematical Literacy in Culturally Responsive Mathematics Classroom

Abstract

<jats:p>This paper aims to discuss students’ mathematics literacy in culturally responsive mathematics classroom. Students were taught by culturally responsive mathematics material and examined with a series of test in order to measure their mathematics literacy level. The data collected in this study are quantitative data in the form of scores on students' mathematical abilities that indicate the level of student mathematics literacy. The research was conducted at MAN 1 Takengon with the two groups pre-test and post-test design to determine the differences in mathematical literacy skills of one experimental group and then compare the results with one control group that was not subjected to treatment. The test consists of 6 problems and designed by based on the domain of PISA 2015 questions on every level of mathematical proficiency skills. The research finds that (1) culturally responsive mathematic teaching gives positive effect to students’ mathematical literacy; (2) the level of mathematical literacy of MAN 1 Takengon students lies from level 1 to level 5. There was no student who able to achieve 6thlevel of mathematical literacy; and (3) After culturally responsive mathematics teaching was implemented, from 24 students, there were 4 students at 1st level, 7 students at 2nd level, 10 students at 3rd level, and 2 students at 4th level, and 1 student at 5th level of mathematical literacy.</jats:p>

The Importance of Implementing Culturally Responsive Teaching on ASEAN Countries

“…CRT method is also utilized in assisting both teachers and students to understand the concept of mathematic formula. This is shown in the study committed by Gradini (2019) stated that the teachers pay attention on guiding students, providing meaningful negotiators, and facilitating students in exploring, analyzing, and summarizing. The teacher must not be an authoritarian and the only source of information for students.…”

Measurement, Evaluation, and Model Construction of Mathematical Literacy Based on IoT and PISA

“…e process of simplifying practical problems into mathematical problems and solving them is the measurement and evaluation of mathematical literacy. Literature [20] explains that the scope of mathematics literacy mainly includes four aspects: mathematics skills, mathematics concepts, mathematics curriculum factors, and mathematics situations. At the same time, it analyzes the evaluation structure of mathematics literacy from the perspective of ability.…”

Fostering Higher Order Thinking Skills in Mathematics Learning: A Scoping Review of Teacher Development Initiatives

“…The Indonesian educational landscape often leans towards teacher-centered approaches (Zulfikar, 2009), leading to concerns about teacher competency (Azra, 2002). This issue manifests in mathematics education within Aceh Tengah District, where traditional, lecturebased methods and repetitive practice questions dominate, despite attempts to incorporate active learning strategies in lesson plans (Gradini, 2021;Gradini & Firmansyah, 2020).…”
