Minimum Competency Assessment (Akm): An Effort To Photograph Numeracy

The National Literacy Movement (GLN) refers to the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) states that literacy numeracy is one of the basic literacy that must be mastered in the 21st century. However, PISA results show that Indonesian students have low literacy numeracy skills. The Ministry of Education followed up to replace the National Examination (UN) with a Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM). AKM is an essential competency assessment that is tested on students used to measure learners' reasoning ability when faced with problems that require literacy and numeracy skills, namely problems that require basic mathematical knowledge. This study uses the method of literature study. This study aims to examine efforts to improve numeracy capabilities. Efforts that can be made to improve numeracy skills are by providing materials and integrating learning with ethnomathematics approaches, giving higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) that are associated with real life, and utilization of interactive learning games

Algatika: Mathematics Private Lending Applications As An Effort To Increase Students Learning Interest In Mathematics Learning

In the era of sustainable development, education is a fundamental right for everyone. Education is a process of helping humans develop themselves so that they can face all problems with an open attitude. One way to help students clarify the concepts and understanding of mathematics that is being studied during the learning process is by using teaching aids. Teaching aids serve to facilitate the purpose of implementing learning in schools. However, the fact is that the use of mathematics teaching aids during learning at school is not yet entrenched, especially in areas far from urban areas, many of which do not have teaching aids. This directly impacts students' lack of understanding and learning experience, resulting in low student learning outcomes. This paper will introduce ALGATIKA, an application of lending mathematics teaching aids for elementary and junior high schools which can later solve these problems. The research methodology used is a qualitative descriptive method by deepening the material through literature studies. The result is that the lack of teaching aids in some schools can be overcome by the ALGATIKA application of lending mathematics teaching aids in elementary and junior high schools. Thus this application can help provide the teaching aids needed to build and improve educational facilities and provide an effective learning environment for all. It can develop students' teaching and learning processes and create higher quality education which leads to relevant and effective learning outcomes in accordance with the targets of the SDG's in education.

Application of Moodle as Authentic Assessment in Learning Mathematics in SMK

<p class="BodyAbstract">The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment system using Moodle e-learning to improve mathematics learning outcomes in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes of students. The development design in this study is more on how to develop learning activities with authentic assessment that must be carried out by the teacher which of course will be very difficult if everything is paper-based. The implementation of a reliable assessment with easy administration by the teacher becomes the consideration of the researcher. And with regard to the pandemic conditions that are being experienced by the Indonesian nation, online learning is an option for students and teachers. Even in the assessment that must be carried out. For this reason, the Moodle application is an alternative that allows students to access teaching materials and practice problem solving easily. This is very interesting to do a development study in SMK, why? Because vocational students usually lack positive attitudes towards mathematics. The use of the Moodle application in learning mathematics in the classroom is certainly the teacher's job to limit the time to face students, and the lack of positive attitudes of these students into "energy" to optimize student abilities. This research was conducted at SMK Warga Surakarta, in class XII Machines, using the Thiagarajan RnD 4D steps, namely Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate. From this research, an authentic assessment instrument has been developed using the Moodle application on the Limit Function material. By reviewing the basic competencies in the Function Limit material, 20 questions were developed in the C2 (8 points), C3 (6 points) and C4 (6 points) categories and validated with a professional judgment on the test instrument. In the student attendance data, it appears that the desire of students to improve their understanding of the Limit Function material is quite high, more than 70% of students want to repeat the class independently. Also, the average student attendance was 13.4 out of 10 meetings planned in the teacher's lesson plan (1 meeting for the implementation of daily tests). From the average value of assignments, there was an increase in the grades in assignment 1 and assignment 2, but in assignment 3, the average score of student achievement decreased, this was possible because the material in assignment 3 was a continuation of the material for assignments 1 and 2, but if viewed from the frequency of doing assignments in each task session, there was a decrease in the number of frequencies. This can be seen in assignment 2, where the average student did the assignment 2.87 on task 1, and in task 2 the average student did 2.43 times with the results significantly increasing. Meanwhile, the average daily test for students in class XII M1 was 78.7, which means that the class average was above the school's KKM and 73.3% of students obtained learning outcomes above the KKM on the Function Limit material. It can be said that learning can improve student learning outcomes and motivate students, because from the response questionnaire, 86.7% of students said they were motivated to try the test to get good results.</p>

Advanced Mathematic Thinking Ability Based on The Level of Student's Self-Trust in Learning Mathematic Discrete

<p class="BodyAbstract">Mathematical thinking and self-confidence are indispensable aspects of learning mathematics and are influential in solving mathematical problems. In higher education mathematics learning, advanced mathematical thinking skills are required (Advance Mathematical Thinking. Advanced mathematical thinking processes include: 1) mathematical representation, 2) mathematical abstraction, 3) connecting mathematical representation and abstraction, 4) creative thinking, and 5) mathematical proof. Discrete mathematics is one of the courses in mathematics education FKIP UNS. The problems in Discrete Mathematics courses are usually presented in the form of contextual problems. Students often experience difficulties in making mathematical expressions and mathematical abstractions from these contextual problems. In addition, students also experience difficulties in bookkeeping. Most students often prove by using examples of some real problems. Even though proof in mathematics can be obtained by deductive thinking processes or inductive thinking processes, the truth is that mathematics cannot only come from the general assumption of inductive thinking. Based on this, a qualitative descriptive study was carried out which aims to determine the advanced mathematical thinking skills based on the level of student self-confidence. Research with the research subjects of FKIP UNS Mathematics Education Students in Discrete Mathematics learning for the 2019/2020 school year gave general results that the student's ability in advanced mathematical thinking was strongly influenced by the level of student confidence in learning. The higher the student's self-confidence level, the better the student's advanced mathematical thinking ability, so that high self-confidence has a great chance of being successful in solving math problems.</p>
