ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN LITERASI MATEMATIKA KELAS VII SMP/MTS DITINJAU DARI KEMAMPUAN SISWA MENYELESAIKAN SOAL CERITA

Abstract

One of the goals of learning mathematics is that students have mathematical literacy skills which include understanding mathematical concepts, explaining the relationship between concepts and applying concepts or algorithms, flexibly, accurately, efficiently and precisely in solving problems; use pattern and property reasoning, perform mathematical manipulations in making generalizations, constructing evidence, or explaining mathematical ideas and statements; solving problems which includes the ability to understand problems. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. The data collection techniques used were tests and interviews. Data analysis techniques in this research include giving tests, interviews, observation and verification or drawing conclusions. The subjects of this research were 18 class VII students at MTs Amanah Ruteng. Students who are research subjects are given test questions to measure students' mathematical literacy abilities. Students are grouped into 3 categories with students with high, medium and low abilities. The results of the research show: 1) the students' mathematical literacy ability in solving math problems in the form of story problems in the algebra material for class VII students at MTs Amanah Ruteng is categorized as moderate because there are 9 students, one of whom meets the high ability category only at level 1 up to level 4, and at levels 5 and 6 there was not a single student who met the high ability category in solving questions. 2) The basic difficulty experienced by students in solving math problems in the form of stories in algebra material is difficulty in analyzing the problems.
