Abstract

Mathematical literacy is a fundamental competency, but students' learning obstacles in solving mathematical literacy problems are still an issue that is often encountered. Understanding the various types and characteristics of students' learning obstacles when dealing with mathematical literacy problems is a crucial initial step for enhancing students' mathematical literacy. This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to explore previous empirical studies regarding students' learning obstacles in solving mathematical literacy problems in Indonesia. Specifically, it means to describe the trend of the research regarding the topic and discuss the types and characteristics of students' learning obstacles in solving mathematical literacy problems in the Indonesian context. Scopus, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases were used for searching the data. A total of 36 studies were included in the analysis out of 460 registers studies. The findings show the trend of previous empirical and available studies regarding students' learning obstacles in solving mathematical literacy problems in terms of publication year, location of studies, participant education level, and content/material. It also found the variations in mathematical literacy theoretical frameworks used in the studies. Finally, it discusses the types and characteristics of students' learning obstacles in solving mathematical literacy problems. Generally, students have epistemological, ontogenic, and didactical obstacles in solving mathematical literacy problems. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
