The effect of reading literacy to mathematics comprehension of elementary school students in Indonesia and Malaysia

This article aims to measure the effects of reading literacy to mathematical comprehension of fifth grade elementary students both in Indonesia and Malaysia. This article used quasi-experiment with factorial design. Samples included 398 students that consisted of 173 elementary students in Indonesia and 216 elementary students in Malaysia. The data were taken by using three instruments: a test and three questionnaires. A test was used to assess the students’ mathematical comprehension. Meanwhile, the questionnaires were used to measure their reading literacy and motivation to study mathematics. They have been validated by two experts and estimated the reliability coefficient by using the Cronbach Alpha formula. Experts judged the instruments were valid based on the content validity. The reliability coefficient of all of the instruments was more than 0.5 so they were reliable. A descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the data, while the analysis variant was used to examine the different mathematical comprehension levels of the students based on reading literacy and the motivation to study mathematics. The result showed that there is a difference in mathematical comprehension levels between students that have a high reading literacy level and those with a lower level. Besides that, this study also shows that there is a distinction in mathematical comprehension levels between students which have a higher motivation to study mathematics with students that have less motivation. This study concluded that reading literacy and the motivation to study mathematics have an effect toward mathematical comprehension ability of elementary students.

Students' Mathematical Understanding Ability On The Material Of The Linear Absolute Value Of One Variable Assisted By A Digital Module

Mathematical understanding ability is an ability that is considered important for students because it is the basis for other mathematical abilities. However, it turns out that students' mathematical comprehension ability is still low, especially in the part of linking between concepts. The problem must be solved so that the student does not have difficulties in receiving the material. To solve this problem, researchers choose teaching materials in the form of digital modules that are considered capable of improving mathematical understanding skills. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection is carried out by means of interviews, tests, and observations. Data processing is carried out by means of reduction, presentation and drawing conclusions. The data is presented in the form of a qualitative description. The results showed that digital modules are practical and usable. However, it is inversely proportional to the mathematical comprehension ability of students who are still in instrumental understanding, including: 1). Understanding the material, 2). Mentioning examples and not examples, 3). Explaining using its own language, 4). Draw conclusions for simple questions but have not been able to have a good impact on students in terms of linking between concepts. So that the existence of digital modules is still unable to solve the problem of low relational understanding ability.
