Designing PISA-like Mathematics Task to Assess Students' Mathematical Literacy

PISA is an ongoing program that monitors trends in the knowledge and skills that students around the world have acquired. Mathematics becomes one of the domains PISA assessed. Therefore, mathematical literacy is very essential. Indonesia, however, gets a low rank in PISA 2012 and 2015. This study is part of research and development research focusing on the preliminary and developing stage. This research aims to develop a PISA-like mathematics task for increasing students' literacy-related mathematics. The research subject is mathematics teachers and students in SMP Muhammadiyah in Boyolali Regency and also expertise in education. At this stage, the data are collected by observation and documentation. This study uses investigator triangulation. The result shows that mathematics material in junior high school can be developed as PISA-like problems as it includes quantity; space and shape; change and relationship; and uncertainty and data suitable with content in PISA. Moreover, this research produces for PISA-like tasks in each content and the context is related to Indonesia culture, namely technology trends in Indonesian teenagers, Cakra Menggilingan Ferris Wheel in Yogyakarta, Polygon Bicycle as a popular brand of Indonesia that known overseas, and Leather Craft as Indonesian local wisdom. PISA-like tasks based on Indonesian content could assess mathematical literacy.
