Abstract
Mathematical literacy is one of the essential skills for students both during their learning and other daily activities. This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of worksheet consisting of higher order thinking skills (HOTS)-based mathematics problems on function and probability to improve the students’ mathematical literacy in Universitas Terbuka (UT) Surabaya. This research was an experimental research, involving six study groups of UT Surabaya students who took mathematics course as the research subjects. The research subjects were then selected using clustered random sampling technique, and two study groups (Tuban and Jombang) were chosen as the research sample. The instruments used in this study were pre-and post-test of mathematical literacy, HOTS-based worksheet, and tutorial kit. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon non-parametric test as the research data were not normally distributed. The effectiveness of HOTS-based worksheet was measured by using normalized gain measurement with the medium category was set at 0.3. The results showed a significant positive effect (normalized gain value > 0.3) of the mathematics HOTS-based worksheet. It can be concluded that the application of mathematics HOTS problems were effective to improve mathematical literacy of UT Surabaya students.
