Development of Mathematical Literacy Problems Using Bengkulu Context

Abstract

The implementation of the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) in 2021 created confusion among students and teachers, especially in secondary schools in Bengkulu City due to the limited number of problems that refer to the AKM. The purpose of this study was to generate mathematical literacy problems using the Bengkulu context validly and practically and determine student responses in solv ing problems. This study involved 26 students from two junior high schools in Bengkulu City. The research design was used in development research. Data were analyzed descriptively through tests, interviews, and documentation. The research resulted in mathematical literacy problems using the Bengkulu context that were valid and practical in improving students' mathematical literacy skills.
