Abstract

Mathematical literacy skills are individuals' ability to formulate, use, and interpret mathematics in various situations. However, no research exposes how difficult it is for students to implement mathematical literacy skills for PISA-like problem-solving. By knowing the difficulties, the teacher can take action for improvement. The research aims to reveal how difficult it is for students to implement mathematical literacy skills for solving PISA-like problems in the local context of Surakarta. Descriptive qualitative research employs 108 students from several junior high schools in Surakarta, Indonesia. Researchers use some methods to collect data among test, observation, and interview methods. The instruments are tests, observation sheets, and in-depth interview guidelines. The research employs validators in mathematics education research with a qualitative approach and experts in mathematical literacy. The data is analyzed through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusions. The study concluded that students have difficulty in mathematization. Further research could focus on defragmenting models to take mathematical literacy skills to a higher level. © 2022, North American Business Press. All rights reserved.
