Virtual Mathematics Kits (VMK): Connecting Digital Media to Mathematical Literacy

SUMMARY

Digital media is currently a trend in learning mathematics. However, digitalization of the media in primary mathematics education still at an introductory level. This study aims to determine students' mathematical literacy abilities, supported by digital media. The digital media used in this study was Virtual Mathematics Kits (VMK). This study involved 83 primary school students (45 intervention class; 28 non-intervention class) as participant of mathematical literacy training (6 weeks). Students' mathematical literacy evaluated by two section mathematical literacy test. This study revealed that mathematical literacy training led to improve mathematical literacy from both classes. However, mathematical literacy training with VMK aplication have better performance. This study shows that VMK as the digital media have big impact to support students' mathematical literacy abilities.
