PROBLEMATIC NUMERICAL LITERACY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

One of the skills that is the main focus in facing the era of society 5.0 is numeracy literacy. Unfortunately, the results of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) show that the numeracy literacy skills of students in Indonesia are still relatively low in general. To overcome this, educators need to understand the factors and solutions that can affect the low numeracy literacy of students, especially elementary schools. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to collect, summarize and analyze the problematic components of numeracy literacy in elementary schools through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA approach. The data from this study was retrieved using the Publish or Perish application on the Googlescholar database using the keywords "mathematics problem" AND "elementary school" OR "elementary school", AND "numeracy literacy" OR "numeracy literacy". The results showed several factors that were found to cause low numeracy literacy involving aspects of teaching experience, students' mathematical self-efficacy, availability of teaching materials, student behavior problems, principal support, and minimal school facilities. Solutions to improve numeracy literacy of primary school students include the development of effective teaching methods, further research to improve students' understanding and self-efficacy, support to teachers through the development of learning resources, literacy strengthening strategies at the school level, investment in educational facilities, and the implementation of learning models that suit students' need

Lithium-sulfur battery: the review of cathode composite fabrication method

Nowadays, the energy demands increase along with the enhance lifestyle and the increase of population, so that alternative energy sources are needed to meet the demand. Several renewable energy has been developed, but the low capacity energy storage system makes the energy that has been produced is partially lost. Lithium-sulfur battery is one of a promising energy storage system due to its high energy density, inexpensive material, and abundant in nature. However, the current problem despite the high energy density is the low life cycles due to the dissolution of sulfur into the electrolyte. Research on lithium-sulfur batteries was carried out in 1962 by Hebert et al., but it has some disadvantages, such as a low discharge capacity and short cycle times. Various studies have been developed to solve these problems. In this review, we will discuss the electrochemical process on lithium-sulfur batteries and the method of a lithium-sulfur battery cathode manufacturing to give information to the researcher about the recent development of lithium-sulfur cathode manufacturing. The present review will discuss both physical and chemical manufacturing methods

INCREASING TEACHER COMPETENCY IN PREPARING HOTS-BASED TEACHING MATERIALS IN THE UPT SDN GRESIK ENVIRONMENT

Preparing HOTS-based teaching materials is a competency that teachers must have. Elementary school teachers are required to have the ability to create teaching materials that encourage students to be motivated in observing everything around them, asking questions, and thinking creatively and critically so that they can explore the competencies of elementary school students. The aim of holding this PPM is so that elementary school teachers in the Gresik area will increase their competence in preparing teaching materials, especially for preparing HOTS-based teaching materials. The method used is descriptive qualitative with instruments in the form of interview sheets, questionnaires, and documentation related to the implementation of community service or PPM. PPM participants consisted of 25 elementary school teachers in the Gresik area. As a result, after the PPM activities were carried out, the competency of elementary school teachers in preparing HOTS-based teaching materials increased. This can be seen from every aspect of making HOTS-based teaching materials that has been fulfilled, this is because the human resources of elementary school teachers in the Gresik area already have a profile that supports their competency abilities
