Digital technology in learning mathematical literacy, can it helpful?

Abstract

Literacy is a critical skill and is quite a concern in the world of education, especially mathematics education in the 21st century. Literacy in mathematics illustrates how a student identifies and understands the problems in which mathematics he has learned plays a role in all aspects of life. On the other hand, the 21st-century digital era demands the realm of education to be able to utilize ICT (Information and communication technologies) in the learning process, not least in mathematics. Digital technology, as a tool that is believed to make a significant contribution to the development of education, is also a challenge in its application, especially concerning the development of mathematical knowledge and skills, mathematical literacy. A question that arises is, can the use of digital technology develop mathematical literacy in the process of learning mathematics? If the answer can, then how should such integration be carried out. This article aims to provide an overview of the answers to these questions by giving an overview of the importance of mathematical literacy and digital technology in developing mathematical literacy.
