The relationship between mathematical literacy and gender with financial literacy

Abstract

Literacy is the core of education for all. Therefore, Mathematical Literacy and Financial Literacy must be an important part of the Undiksha Mathematics Education Study Program (UMESP) Students. This study aims to describe Mathematical Literacy and Financial Literacy, and determine the relationship between Mathematical Literacy and Gender with Financial Literacy of UMESP students. This type of research uses ex post facto design, with the population being UMESP students who have taken Financial Mathematics and Linear Programs Courses in 2018 and the samples are determined by random sampling technique. The instruments and data collection techniques used were questionnaires and tests. Then the data were analyzed using Regresion and Chi Square. The results of the study are: (1) Mathematical Literacy and Financial Literacy of UMESP students are medium classification. and (2) Mathematical Literacy and Gender, both simultaneously and partially have no effect on Financial Literacy. Age, education level of parents, type of parents work, and living costs have a significant influence on gender.
