Abstract

Abstract PISA is an international assessment that measures students' mathematical literacy. Many observed that space and shape in geometry is one of the most difficult topics in PISA. Moreover, some findings stated that many students have difficulties in solving PISA-model geometry problems. The purpose of this research is to describe students' difficulties in solving geometric literacy problems. The participants selected in this study were six eighth graders in South Sulawesi. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and tests before being qualitatively analyzed. The result indicated that students had a number of difficulties in answering geometry literacy problems. The first difficulty students faced was that most of them could not formulate mathematical models for the problems given. The second problem was that some students could not employ the correct concept to solve the tasks provided. The third difficulty found was that students could not draw a proper conclusion from the given geometric problems. Thus, some efforts are needed to overcome those difficulties in solving geometric literacy problems. Keywords: Students’ Difficulties; PISA Mathematical Problem; Geometric Literacy Problem.
