Abstract

PREFACEThe National Conference on Mathematics and Learning Research or KNPMP is an annual scientific forum organized by the Mathematics Education Study Program of Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta since 2016, and this year for the fourth time the KNPMP is held with the theme “Enhancing Mathematical Literacy to Meet the 4.0 Industrial Revolution”. This theme is based on a global challenge, namely the challenge of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. where according to Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, “Industrial Revolution 4.0. is an era that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres.” Which means that humans are physically and ideally integrated with today’s digital technologies such as artificial intelligent technology, autonomous vehicles, and internet of things. To deal with this, Alex Gray stated that complex problem-solving abilities are the most important skills that must be possessed. In the context of mathematics, the increase in mathematical literacy skills is important to do because the complex problem-solving aspect is one of the procedures in it. Therefore, the theme “Enhancing Mathematics Literacy to Meet the 4.0 Industrial Revolution” becomes very relevant to be appointed to the IV KNPMP this year.In accordance with the theme, we invited one expert as the keynote speaker, and two experts as the main speakers. As the keynote speaker, we invite Prof. Agus Subekti, Ph.D. as Chair of the 2019 DRPM Research Guidance Team of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education and also a Professor at the University of Jember. As the first speaker was Prof. Dr. Basuki Widodo, M.Sc., President of the Indonesian Mathematics Society or IndoMS and a Professor in the Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November. As the second speaker, Prof. Dr. Yus M. Cholilly, a Professor of Mathematics Education at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang.I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who have supported this conference. I hope that the conference will facilitate a fruitful discussion, connect you with the other experts in the field, and further initiate a strong collaboration.List of Organizing Committee and Conference Documentation are available in this pdf.
