PERSEPSI DAN KEMAMPUAN CALON GURU MATEMATIKA DALAM NUMERASI

Abstract

Students' numeracy ability in Indonesia, which is relatively low, has taken the Indonesian government's effort to improve immediately. The government's efforts could also be supported by LPTK (Institute of Teachers Education) by diagnosing, equipping, developing, and evaluating competencies of pre-service teachers related to numeracy ability. The numeracy ability of pre-service teachers is indeed detected through perception and numeracy ability. The information would lead to the actual numeracy ability and support issues on developing pre-service numeracy ability. To answer the goals, this research was conducted using quantitative methods. The population of this research was pre-service mathematics teachers in the 2021/2022 academic year in four LPTK in Lampung province, which are at the University of Lampung, UIN Raden Intan Lampung, IAIN Metro, and STKIP PGRI Bandar Lampung. The sample of this study was 81 mathematics pre-service teachers selected using simple random sampling technique. The data was generated through the questionnaire instrument and numeracy test kit. The results reveal the fact that the pre-service teacher had high positive category of perceptions and moderate category of numeracy ability. In addition, there is no significant relationship between the perception of pre-service mathematics teachers on numeracy and their the understanding and ability of numeracy.
