Abstract
MaRWA is a Southeast Asia regional mathematics assessment based on PISA and TIMSS, initiated by SEAMEO QITEP in Mathematics. This paper aims to determine students’ type of correct and incorrect answers on the assessment. A total of 882 students in grades 5, 8, and 10 from 26 schools in regional wide were involved in this study. For each level of education, there were 30 mathematics problems, which were classified into 20 multiple choice questions and 10 essay questions. These items were generally made to determine students’ competencies and readiness in learning school mathematics, specifically to measure their order of thinking level. There were four types of correct answer and six types of incorrect answers. The quantitative data is the students’ scores, while the qualitative data is coded students’ answers. It was found that students’ average scores for the primary to senior high school levels were in a low category, and most of the participants were struggling to solve HOTS problems. Moreover, most students in all levels left problems in blank. We foresee this study can contribute to bridge the students’ HOTS by improving the practice of teaching and learning throughout Southeast Asia.
