Abstract

Students must have Literacy and numeracy skills in the Industrial Era 4.0. Computer-based National Assessment (CBNA), mainly the Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA), measures students’ reading and mathematics literacy (numeracy). Reading literacy is understanding, using, evaluating, and reflecting on various written texts to develop individual capacity as Indonesian citizens and global citizens to contribute productively to society. At the same time, numeracy is the ability to think using concepts, procedures, facts, and mathematical tools to solve everyday problems in various contexts relevant to individuals as citizens of Indonesia and the world. This research aims to describe the impact of implementing the CBNA on increasing students’ literacy and numeracy in Balikpapan City, one of the supporting cities for the new capital of Indonesia, Nusantara. This qualitative research involved school principals, teachers, and middle and high school students. The data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation. The CBNA results in each educational unit provide information about the competency level of literacy and numeracy skills of schools and students. Schools in Balikpapan are categorized as “above,” “achieve,” “below,” and “far below” minimum competency in literacy and numeracy. In addition, middle and high school students in Balikpapan are categorized as “need a special intervention,” “basic,” “capable,” and “proficient” in literacy and numeracy. It impacts school and teachers’ policies regarding increasing literacy and numeracy, especially for schools that still need to achieve minimum competency and for students who still have “basic” and “need special intervention” competency levels.
