Analysis of The Relationship Between Critical Thinking, Refractive Thinking and Mathematical Self Efficacy on The Mathematical Literacy of Pre Service Elementary Teachers

Abstract

Abstract. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between critical thinking, refractive thinking, and self efficacy on pre service teacher’s mathematical literacy. The type of this study was ex-post facto research with a quantitative research approach. 150 Pre Service Teacher of semester 6 and 8 at  primary school teacher education Program of Muhammadiyah University of Kupang. Test, observation, and questionnaire were the technique employed in this study..  All the data collected and process using SPSS 2022 version. The result would based on the partial test, simultaneous test, correlation test and lastly the analysis of the simultaneous correlation coefficient.  The data analyzed by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. All instrument used in this study were validate by two expert. The results of this study showed that there is a relationship between critical thinking, refractive thinking, self efficacy with mathematical literacy skills. The implications of this study are: First, lecturer can have the description of the state of the pre service teacher mathematical literacy skills, so that the lecturer can support and train the pre service teacher to master skills that lead to mathematical literacy skills.  Second, The government must create a superior instructional approach, learning questions, learning concept that support mathematical literacy and all competencies that build mathematical literacy with the assistance of researchers.. In this study showed, enhancing mathematical literacy could start from enhancing variables or competencies that builds up mathematical literacy. And for future teaching experience lecturer can design learning circumtances that can habituate pre service teacher in solving mathematical literacy problems
