The Mathematical Literacy Teachers' Ability for Quantity Area on PISA Adaptation Test

Abstract

One of goals of this research was to make descriptions about the mathematical literacy ability of the junior high school teacher for the PISA adaptation test in the quantity area. There were four steps that did by the researchers to get the data, namely: (1) to adapt the PISA test, (2) to validate the test, (3) to ask junior high school teachers to do the adapting PISA test, and (4) to describe the mathematical literacy teachers' ability for quantity area. There were four areas in the PISA test for mathematics i. e. quantity, space and shape, change and relationship, and uncertainty, and six levels. In the test that we adapted form the PISA test, there were 13 questions. Seven teachers from seven junior high schools in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas to become our research subjects. The research type that used by the researchers was a design research developed by Cobb and Koeno. All teachers answer correctly at the quantity area on the level 1 - 4, but only four of seven teachers could solve one quantity problem for level 5.
