Kemampuan Literasi Membaca dan Minat Belajar dalam Pembelajaran Matematika Menggunakan Cerpen Karya Nadia Cassinie

This research aims to measure and describe the extent of the difference in reading literacy ability and learning interest of students before and after mathematics instruction using Nadia Cassinie's short stories on presentation of data. Furthermore, it seeks to describe reading literacy ability in terms of learning interest in mathematics instruction using Nadia Cassinie's short stories on presentation of data. This study employs a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The research sample consisted of 30 students from Class VII D at SMP Negeri 10 Pontianak. The research instruments include tests and questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, followed by qualitative data analysis with descriptive methods. The results show an increase in the average reading literacy ability by 79.13% and a 6.31% improvement in learning interest. Students with a high learning interest face fewer obstacles compared to those with moderate interest when it comes to high-level reading literacy ability. However, in the case of moderate reading literacy ability, students with moderate learning interest demonstrate slightly superior reading literacy ability compared to those with high learning interest. Students with moderate learning interest and low reading literacy ability are unable to meet any of the indicators for reading literacy ability.
