LEARNING OBSTACLES TO MATHEMATICAL LITERACY SKILLS OF STATISTICAL MATERIAL IN CLASS X

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low mathematical literacy skills of students. The low mathematical
literacy skills of students is due to learning obstacles that occur in students. Therefore, the purpose of this
study is to describe the types of learning learning obstacles to students' mathematical literacy abilities in
the statistics material of class X.E.2 SMA Negeri 3 Padang. The subject of this study was a class X.E.2
student of SMA Negeri 3 Padang. The research method used is a descriptive research method with a
qualitative approach. The instruments used in this study were interviews and tests. The data analysis
technique in this study is by analyzing test results and interview results. Based on research that has been
carried out, it shows that the mathematical literacy ability of class X.E.2 SMA Negeri 3 Padang reaches
level 4. The learning barriers found in students based on mathematical literacy skills are ontogeny
obstacles that occur in students with mathematical literacy skills level 1 to level 4, generally students do
not understand the prerequisite material. In didactic barriers, students with mathematical literacy skills
level 1 to level 4 generally experience obstacles, namely the material taught by the teacher is incomplete.
Epistemological obstacles found in students with mathematical literacy skills level 1 to level 4 generally
experience obstacles, namely students' understanding of the concept of incomplete material.
