ANALISIS PERBEDAAN KEMAMPUAN LITERASI MATEMATIKA MODEL PISA SISWA SMP PADA KONTEN SPACE AND SHAPE DITINJAU DARI GENDER

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in mathematical literacy skills based on
the PISA model among junior high school students in the Space and Shape content
area in terms of gender. The research employed a quantitative comparative
approach with an ex-post facto design. The subjects consisted of 29 eighth-grade
students from SMP Negeri 1 Bilah Barat, comprising 16 male and 13 female
students. The research instrument was a set of five mathematical literacy test items
based on the PISA model focusing on Space and Shape. Data analysis began with
a normality test using Shapiro-Wilk and a homogeneity of variance test using
Levene’s Test. The results showed that the data for female students were not
normally distributed (Sig. = 0.002), while the data for male students were normally
distributed (Sig. = 0.054), and both groups had homogeneous variances (Sig. =
0.710). Therefore, the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to test the
hypothesis. The result showed a significance value of 0.180 (p > 0.05), indicating
that there is no significant difference in mathematical literacy skills between male
and female students in the Space and Shape content based on the PISA model.
These findings suggest that gender is not a significant factor in differentiating
students' mathematical literacy abilities in this context.
