Abstract

The PISA result of Indonesian students on uncertainty and data content were still lacking. It is important to giving a problems with PISA characteristics in students' learning. This study aimed to produce a set of valid and practical PISA-like mathematics problems using the context of athletics in Asian Games. It used a design research method with the type of development studies consisting of two stages namely preliminary and formative evaluation. The data collection techniques used were walk through, observation of the video recording of students' discussion and interview during the learning process, and students' answer. The result of this research was valid and practical of six items PISA-like mathematics problems for the content of uncertainty and data using the context of athletics in Asian Games at level 3, 4, 5, and 6. Valid criteria can be identified based on the content, construct, and language. While practical criteria consist of easy to understand, contexts that students recognize, and can be used in learning.
