Analysis of hard work character and students of PISA mathematics literature

Abstract

Hard work is one of the character education contained in the 2013 curriculum. The implementation of the character of hard work in detailed learning in various indicators that cover all aspects in detail so that the observation of the character of hard work will be clearer. This research is a mixed research (qualitative and quantitative) with a mixture of unbalanced (Concurred Embedded) which aims to observe the character of students' hard work in the process of solving literacy problems. The steps in the research process are that the researcher conducts preliminary observations of 5 sample students who have been grouped into upper, middle and lower groups with variable hard work characteristics and literacy abilities. Early research using questionnaires showed that hard work in mathematics learning showed moderate results. While student literacy shows less results on various indicators of literacy skills. The results showed an increase in the character of hard work and mathematical literacy skills in selected subjects.
