ANALYSIS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ LITERACY USING THE PISA FRAMEWORK

Abstract

The aim of this research is to describe the literacy profiles, including science literacy, mathematical literacy, and reading literacy, among 9th-grade junior high school students and 10th-grade high school students. This study utilizes a descriptive method involving 104 respondents, with data collected through literacy tests based on PISA questions. The results of the research indicate that the average score for overall student literacy achievement is 56.2%. The average score for science literacy is 46.4%, for mathematical literacy is 40.6%, and for reading literacy is 67.9%. The students' science and mathematical literacy abilities are categorized as moderate, while their reading literacy ability is categorized as high. Based on the data obtained, students' overall literacy achievement in science, mathematics, and language is still within the moderate category. The low literacy abilities are caused by students' difficulty in interpreting graphs and tables in science literacy, as well as students' struggles with formulation skills in mathematical literacy. In reading literacy, students lack the ability to read and explore reading materials. Another factor is that students are not accustomed to working on literacy test questions, and evaluation tools have not led to literacy development.
