Abstract

One way to improve numeracy is to use digital simulations that implement mathematics in real life. This research aims to develop a digital simulation to improve junior high school students’ numeracy in statistics. The design of this research is Research and Development with a four-D model. This paper focuses on discussing the design of the simulation that could facilitate students’ numeracy in 8th grade junior high school. There is one designed simulation, that is a science experiment simulation about heating water. This simulation uses uncertainty and data content as well as personal context. The main intention of the heating water simulation is to build students’ ability to generate and process data and to make a mathematical model that fits the data. Apart from that, students are also asked to choose an appropriate diagram to present experimental data of the heating water. Concerning the cognitive level, both simulation covers applying and reasoning levels. From limited trials, the digital simulation of uncertainty and data that has been developed can support junior high school students’ numeracy skills based on responses to the three tasks and student questionnaire responses. The development of digital simulations on statistical data presentation material will become a media reference for further digital simulation development and can be used by teachers to develop student numeracy.
