Kemampuan Literasi Matematika Siswa SMP dalam Menyelesaikan Soal PISA

Abstract

Based on the PISA 2022 results, the average math literacy score of Indonesian students is still low, which is 366 out of 489 overall average score. 18% of Indonesian students can only achieve level 2 math literacy, so 82% of students are still at level 1 or even below, far below the global average. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach with the aim to describe how the mathematical literacy skills of junior high school students in solving PISA questions. The change and relationship content was chosen because it is related to the junior high school curriculum on algebraic material. The subjects in this study were 28 8th grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jember. The majority of students (53.57%) were able to reach level 2, indicating students were able to understand the problem and apply basic formulas or patterns. There were students who had not been able to reach level 1 (25%), indicating that students still had basic difficulties in understanding and finding important information in the problem. Students reached level 1 (7.14%), indicating students were able to identify and retrieve basic information, but were not yet able to continue the calculation process or deeper analysis. Students reached level 3 (14.29%), able to use procedures and strategies to solve problems. No students were found who managed to reach levels 4 to 6, indicating that students still have difficulty in conceptual thinking or solving problems that are more complicated and require higher reasoning. The main difficulties of students are due to lack of understanding of the concept and difficulty in interpreting the problem.
