Analysis of Mathematical Literacy Ability in Term of Student Learning Independence in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) Learning with Ethnomathematics Approach

Abstract

In learning mathematics, one of the fundamental abilities that students must have is mathematical literacy. The mathematical literacy ability of students can be influenced by several things, one of which is learning independence. One way to improve students' mathematical literacy skills and independent learning is to use the application of the RME model. This study aims to determine differences in mathematical literacy abilities in terms of student independence in RME learning with an ethnomathematics approach, compared to conventional learning. The method used in this research is Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The results of this study state that students' mathematical literacy abilities can be influenced by the level of learning independence, learning models and approaches used. The conclusion that can be drawn is that mathematical literacy skills can be improved effectively by using the RME learning model with ethnomathematics approach, which also has a positive impact on student learning independence.
