Abstract

The research describes the students’ mathematical literacy in solving wetlands contextual problems. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. The subjects were 87 students in Mathematical Learning for Junior High School course of Mathematics Education Study Program at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat in the 2019/2020 academic year. The students were tested with ten items of wetlands contextual problems. The analysis of those data used descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation, maximum and minimum score, and total score. The research finding reveals that the mean score of students’ mathematical literacy was 18.55 (medium category). Individually, there were five students in very high, 14 students in high, 31 students in medium, 35 students in low, and two students in the very low category. In addition, the students are weak in the formulating process. Based on the result, students’ habituation in solving contextual wetland problems needs to be continuously pursued to improve students’ mathematical literacy ability.
