The aim of this study is to determine the level of achievement of students participating in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 and PISA 2012 tests in Turkey according to questions in the mathematical literacy test. This study is a descriptive survey. Within the scope of the study, the mathematical literacy test items were classified as multiple-choice, complex multiple-choice and constructed response items according to the different question types. The ratio of correct and partially correct and incorrect response given to each question type has been determined. Findings show that the achievements of students differ according to different types of questions. While the question type with the highest success average in the PISA 2003 test was multiple-choice, students got the highest scores from complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2012 test. The questionnaire with the lowest success average was found to be complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2003 test while students got the lowest scores from constructed response items in the PISA 2012 test. According to the constructivist education approach effectuated in 2005-2006 academic year, it is expected to observe a rise in constructed response question type; however, findings of the study reveal that the success of constructed response questions is decreased according to the application years.

The literature suggests that financial literacy depends on factors such as socioeconomic status/sociodemographic status, psychosocial and psychological factors, experience, and access to financial education, language skills, mathematical literacy and other factors. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence the financial literacy achievements of students from Latvia, focusing on the possibility to improve these achievements. The data analysis was performed with PISA 2018 Latvian data, which there were selected 25% of the participating students whose financial literacy performance was lower than the mean performance in mathematical and reading literacy and 25% of students whose financial literacy performance was considerably higher than the mean performance in mathematical literacy and reading literacy. Differences between these two groups showed factors that impact financial literacy achievements, excluding the possibility that the financial literacy performance of these students was high due to the mathematical and reading literacy. It was concluded that the financial achievements of students in Latvia are positively influenced by such factors as the socioeconomic status/sociodemographic status, psychosocial factors, and psychological factors (students with higher financial literacy achievements have a more negative attitude towards school but a more positive attitude towards life, less fear of failure and more a positive attitude towards competition, and clear plans for the future), accessibility of the financial education, time devoted to financial education, an accessible wide range of financial topics in education, experience in the financial environment, parents’ involvement, feedback from teachers in reading lessons. Keywords: Achievements of financial literacy, Financial Literacy, Mathematic literacy, OECD PISA 2018, Reading literacy.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis literasi siswa dalam memecahkan soal matematika. Penelitian ini menghasilkan deskripsi mengenai literasi matematika siswa yaitu merumuskan (formulate), menerapkan (employ), dan menafsirkan (interpret) dalam memecahkan soal PISA 2012. Siswa yang dipilih sebagai subjek berjumlah 2 siswa kelas X SMA. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tiga soal PISA konten ruang dan bentuk yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian yang dilakukan merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dimana peneliti melakukan wawancara terhadap subjek penelitian untuk menggali informasi sebanyak mungkin tentang literasi matematika siswa. Data diperoleh menggunakan pedoman wawancara semiterstruktur, lembar jawaban siswa, serta rekaman video. Selanjutnya data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Berdasarkan hasil dan pembahasan diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa siswa mempunyai literasi matematika dalam menyelesaikan soal PISA konten ruang dan bentuk. Kemampuan merumuskan (formulate) nampak dari hasil kerja dan penjelasan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal Pembelian Apertemen (soal PISA 2012 kode : PM00FQ01 – 019). Siswa mampu menjelaskan sisi-sisi minimal yang harus diketahui untuk menentukan luas apartemen tersebut. Kemampuan menerapkan (employ) nampak dari hasil kerja dan penjelasan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal Tumpahan Minyak (soal PISA 2012 kode : PM00RQ01 – 019). Siswa mampu menentukan taksiran luas minyak dengan pendekatan luas persegipanjang. Kemampuan menafsirkan (interpret) nampak dari hasil kerja dan penjelasan siswa dalam menjelaskan soal Tumpukan Dadu (soal PISA 2012 kode : PM937Q01 – 0129). Siswa mampu menafsirkan dan menentukan jumlah titik yang nampak dari atas dengan cara mengaitkan dengan konteks kehidupan nyata. Kata Kunci: literasi matematika, PISA, ruang dan bentuk Abstract This study aims to analyze students' literacy in solving math problems. This research produces a description of students' mathematical literacy that formulate, apply, and interpret in solving PISA 2012. The students are selected as subject of 2 students of class X SMA. The instruments used are three PISA questions of space and form content translated into Indonesian. The research is a qualitative descriptive research where researchers conduct interviews on research subjects to explore as much information as possible about students' mathematical literacy. Data were obtained using semi-structured interview guidelines, student answer sheets, and video recordings. Further data obtained were analyzed by using source triangulation. Based on the results and the discussion obtained the conclusion that students have the math literacy in solving the problem of PISA content space and shape. The ability to formulate appears from the work and explanation of students in solving the problem of Purchase Apartment (PISA 2012 question code: PM00FQ01 - 019). Students are able to explain the minimum sides that must be known to determine the area of the apartment. Ability to apply (employ) visible from the work and explanation of students in solving the problem Oil Spill (about PISA 2012 code: PM00RQ01 - 019). Students are able to determine the wide estimate of oil with wide-ranging approach. Ability to interpret (interpret) visible from the work and explanation of students in explaining the problem of Dice Pile (about PISA 2012 code: PM937Q01 - 0129). Students are able to interpret and determine the number of points that appear from above by linking with the real-life context. Keywords: mathematical literacy, PISA, space and shape

Mathematics is central in school curricula around the world, yet outcomes are mixed at best. This is true both in relation to attitudes expressed towards mathematics, and in relation to observed assessment outcomes, showing how poorly individuals are prepared to use mathematics in a world in which the ability to do so is of increasing importance. Why? This essay uses some PISA 2012 mathematics outcomes to seek explanations and possible ways forward. The main message is that negative outcomes of school mathematics arise for a variety of reasons, and they can be reversed through deliberate and concerted action. Lecciones de PISA 2012 sobre competencia matemática: un ensayo ilustradoLas Matemáticas son fundamentales en los currículos escolares de todo el mundo, pero los resultados no son los mejores. Esto es cierto tanto en relación con las actitudes expresadas hacia las matemáticas, como en relación con los resultados observados en la evaluación, mostrando cómo los individuos tienen una preparación pobre para utilizar las matemáticas en un mundo donde la habilidad para usarlas tiene una creciente importancia. Por qué? Este ensayo usa algunos resultados de PISA 2012 matemáticas para buscar explicaciones y posibles formas de abordarlos. El principal mensaje es que los resultados negativos en matemáticas escolares se producen por una variedad de razones, y pueden revertirse a través de acciones delibradas y coordinadas.Handle: http://hdl.handle.net/10481/39493WOS-ESCI
