Abstract

Literacy is the ability of students to understand, use, evaluate, and find information from various types of texts that are used to solve problems and develop their ability to contribute productively in society. Numeracy is the ability of students to use concepts, procedures, facts, and mathematical skills to solve everyday problems in various types of relevant contexts. Numerical literacy must be possessed since children start learning. Literacy and numeracy are skills that are learned in various subjects, not only Indonesian (for literacy) and Mathematics (for counting). Numerical literacy is a set of abilities and skills of a person in applying the concept of numbers and arithmetic operations related to everyday life.

This study aims to determine the factors that influence the achievement of numeracy literacy skills of students with special needs in inclusive elementary schools. This research was conducted at the Inclusion Elementary School of the Special Region of Yogyakarta in January-March 2022. The method used in this study was a qualitative descriptive analysis method. From the analysis of data from interviews, questionnaires and student responses to the mathematical numerical literacy test, it can be concluded that the factors that influence the achievement of numeracy skills for students with special needs in inclusive elementary schools are: difficulty understanding story problems, reading and writing skills are still not fluent, do not understand the basic concepts of mathematics, learning media that can facilitate the literacy and numeracy skills of children with special needs in inclusive primary schools are not sufficient.
