Abstract

The background of this research is students' mathematical literacy ability which is still less so most students find difficulty in solving mathematical problem in daily life. Learning which tend to be teacher centered not give change to students to develop their own ideas so the students do not master the concept well. Discovery learning is one of learning which train students how to discover mathematical concept and to train students to express their ideas. This study is quasi experimental study which is aimed to find out the enhancement of mathematical literacy ability of eighth grade students with discovery learning. This research used nonequivalent control group design. The population in this research were all students of the eight grade Junior High School in Tana Toraja. This research conclude that mathematics learning with discovery learning method in eight grade students of Junior High School can enhance the ability of mathematical literacy more significant. Discovery learning give change to students to construct their own knowledge so they can understand mathematical problem until its solution. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
