Various studies on the development of mathematical literacy tests have not shown any research that focuses on developing mathematical literacy tests using the context of Bugis-Makassar local wisdom with Classical Test Theory (CTT). Thus, this study aimed to produce mathematical literacy tests using the context of Bugis-Makassar local wisdom based on CTT for junior high school students through development research using ADDIE design. The development of the test integrates mathematical literacy and local wisdom elements of Bugis-Makassar. There were 15 multiple-choice items developed and tested on 33 males and 68 females at seventh-grade junior high school students. The trial involved two schools in Makassar City using a convenience sampling technique. The test kit was validated by three mathematicians and produced an Aiken index score in the range of 0.67 to 0.89. The empirical data from the trial results were analyzed using CTT assisted by ITEMAN 4.3 software. The test analysis showed an average category for reliability test scores. As many as 47% of the items were in the medium category, and the rest were in the fair category. Meanwhile, 93% of the items have a good discriminatory ability, and 67% have distractors that were not functioning properly, then the tests items must be revised.

This survey aims to describe the mathematical literacy of state junior high school students in Kupang city, East Nusa Tenggara province. It was done not only due to the low achievement of Indonesian 15-year-old students in PISA but also because there are no surveys which had been done before to map the mathematical literacy of students in Kupang city. A total of 377 respondents who were the ninth grade students representing six state junior high schools in Kupang were collected by two-stage cluster randomized sampling. The students were assessed using fifteen problems adopted from PISA 2012 and some development researches with a product of mathematical literacy problems so that those items were highly reliable to measure students mathematical literacy. The categorization of students mathematical literacy was carried out using Mamdani’s Fuzzy Inference method. The input of fuzzification was a score of three process domains assessed by those fifteen problems, specifically formulating, employing, and interpreting. The output of defuzzification was students mathematical literacy score used to determine the category of students mathematical literacy. The results showed that the mathematical literacy of state junior high school students in Kupang city was generally classified as a low category.
