Abstract
This study aims to find out about the influence of the vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension towards students’ mathematicals performance in PISA, either directly or indirectly. This research uses survey method with a quantitative approach and path analysis as a research design. The respondents are 70 students of Junior High School in Jakarta. Data collection is done through research instrument in the form of tasks about vocabulary and reading comprehension, while the mathematical questions about Space and Shape are taken from PISA 2015. The results of the analysis shows that there are: direct influence of vocabulary mastery towards students’ performance in mastering mathematical problems in PISA; direct influence of reading comprehension towards students’ performance in mastering mathematical problems in PISA; direct influence of vocabulary mastery towards reading comprehension; direct influence of vocabulary mastery towards students’ performance in mastering PISA’ mathematical problems through reading comprehension. It can be concluded that in order to enhance student’ mathematical competence in PISA, we also have to improve their competence in vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension through improvement of teacher’s competence and infrastructures at school such as language laboratory. We hope that this study can be beneficial for further research to improve mathematical competences of the students.
