Integrated Literacy and Numeracy Skills in Indonesian Language Learning: A Qualitative Analysis of Fourth-Grade Elementary Students
Keywords:
integrated literacy-numeracy, Indonesian language learning, elementary education
Abstract
This study examines the integration of literacy and numeracy skills among fourth-grade students in Indonesian language learning at SDN 15 Palembang. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with observation, interview, and documentation, data were analyzed through Miles and Huberman's three-stage model with source and method triangulation. Results indicate that students demonstrate fairly good literacy in reading fluency and explicit comprehension but struggle with implicit meaning, systematic conclusions, and critical response. In numeracy, students recognize numerical information and perform basic calculations yet face difficulties in solving word problems and communicating mathematical reasoning. These findings demonstrate that literacy and numeracy are interconnected competencies requiring integrated development through contextual instructional strategies. Teachers must design scaffolded learning experiences that merge reading comprehension with mathematical problem-solving to enhance students' higher-order thinking abilities.
