Profile of Mathematical Literacy of Prospective Teacher Students in Solving Integral Calculus Problems Seen From Learning Independence

Abstract

This study aims to determine how students’ mathematical literacy is in solving math problems seen from their learning independence. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this study were semester III students at STKIP Kusuma Negara Jakarta, with 6 students, with each category of independent learning consisting of two students. This study used researchers as key instruments, tests to measure students’ mathematical literacy, interview guidelines, and a questionnaire to measure student learning independence. The results of the study show that: informants with high learning independence tend to be able to achieve all indicators of mathematical literacy. Informants with moderate learning independence tend to be able to achieve most indicators of mathematical literacy. Still, they are wrong in using language and symbolic operations, solving mathematical problems and using mathematical tools. Informants with low learning independence, on the other hand, frequently had difficulty completely interpreting the data. As a result, communication of information and problem-solving become flawed.
