Kompetensi Numerasi Siswa SMK Ditinjau dari Gender dan Berbagai Kesulitannya

Numeration is a basic ability part of the minimum competency assessment (MCA) that is important in understanding current global information patterns. The main purpose of this study was to determine differences in the numerical competence of students in terms of gender and various difficulties. The case study research was carried out on 91 students of Al Munawwariyyah Vocational School, Kab. Malang. The t test results showed that there were no differences in the numerical ability of boy and girl students. Some difficulties experienced by students in solving numerical problems include comparing two data from diagrams 54.9%, analyzing table data 61.6%, evaluating values on questions based on the table reference 63.8%, and comparing two graphs with the same function 39.6%. It is recommended to do more mature debriefing for students to prepare for the actual numeracy test in the coming year.
