Defragmenting mathematical literacy in solving non-routine problems

Abstract

Defragmentation is a process that aims to restructure the thought processes that occur in students. Fragmentation can occur because students cannot correctly implement mathematical literacy in solving problems. This study aims to describe students' mathematical literacy structure errors in solving non-routine problems and their defragmentation efforts. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research with a sample of class VIII H students of SMP Negeri 2 Gemuh. The data collection techniques used are tests, observations, and interviews. The research data analysis is carried out by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that students experienced errors in the structure of mathematical literacy in solving non-routine problems. Students, in all aspects, make an error in the design of mathematical literacy. The results obtained after the student received the intervention and defragmentation efforts showed that the student's mathematical literacy in the formulating aspect and the application aspect increased so that Students can solve non-routine mathematical problems correctly and precisely.
