- Abstract
Nowadays, literacy and numeracy are the main ability in the 21st century. The Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology has been conducting National Assessments since 2021. Numeracy assessment result is very low. Two out of three students have not reached minimum numeracy skills. Teachers have an important role in improving students’ numeracy skills. However, preparation is needed since preservice teachers are given numeracy knowledge and problem-posing minimum competency assessment workshop. This study was conducted based on students’ tasks. This study focuses on analyzing problem-posing minimum competency assessment task to promote numeracy skills of elementary preservice school teachers (PSTs). Qualitative descriptive the method of this study. PSTs class consists of 31 students. Researcher only chose three PSTs in the three distinct mathematics competency levels: low, middle, and high based on their average scores of Mathematics for Elementary School subjects for one semester. The result of this study is that almost all PSTs are competent in posing realistic numeracy problems with appropriate content, suitable contexts, and cognitive processes, across various subjects, except art subject. It is suggested to add the exposure of the art subject to the prospective teachers’ mathematics experiences. This also can enrich their understanding of numeracy across the subjects they will be teaching.
