Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the current state of the problems and approaches for developing and learning management to enhance mathematical literacy for secondary school mathematics teachers’. The research methodology consists of the study of documents and related research. A study of the current state of the problems and approaches to learning management as follows: The lower secondary school level mathematics teachers of the Mathematics Department, the Opportunity expansion school, the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) beginning in semester 1 of the 2019 academic year. The following tools were used to study the data as follows: 1) the questionnaire was a 5-point level rating scale with a discriminative power of 0.21-0.89, and a reliability value of 0.98. The researchers used multi-stage random sampling to select a sample size of 400 people and received 329 questionnaires, accounting for 82.25 percent of the total, and 2) Semi-structured interview form. The percentage, mean, standard deviation were used in the quantitative data analysis and content analysis. The results showed that the present condition of learning management and mathematics literacy for teachers at the lower secondary level was at the lowest level except the problem-solving tactics at a low level. Problems in learning management of mathematics literacy for lower secondary school teachers from the study found that mathematics teachers had problems at a high level in all items except learning management and problem situation thinking as well as mathematical literacy at the highest level.
