Development of AKM-Based Mathematics Questions in the Adiwiyata Context to Train Students' Numeracy Skills

Abstract

This study aims to produce AKM-based mathematics questions in the Adiwiyata context that are valid and practical and potentially affect the numeracy abilities of class X and XI MA students. The research method used is a development studies type design, which consists of two stages: the preliminary and formative evaluation. Data collection techniques used were walk-throughs, interviews, questionnaires and tests. The validity of the questions is obtained from the results of the validator's assessment in terms of content, construct, and language at the expert review stage and the clarity and readability of the questions based on students' comments and suggestions at the one-to-one stage. The practicality of the questions is obtained at the small group stage based on the questionnaire results. The potential effect of questions is obtained at the field test stage based on test and questionnaire results. This research produced 30 mathematics questions based on AKM contexts that were valid and practical and potentially affected numeracy abilities. The results of testing mathematics questions based on AKM in the Adiwiyata context showed that 44.87% of the 156 (26 students x 6 questions) analyzed answer items were identified as correct answers. As many as 44.23% of the 52 subjects (26 students x 2 questions) could solve knowing-level questions. As many as 48.7% of 78 subjects (26 students x 3 questions) could solve questions at the applying cognitive level, and 42.3% of 26 (26 students x 1 question) subjects could solve questions at the cognitive reasoning level.
