Empowering Communities in the Digital Era: Enhancing Mathematical Literacy and Numeracy through Community Engagement in the Digital Age

Abstract

This community engagement initiative focuses on enhancing mathematical literacy and numeracy in the digital era through active involvement of the community. With the advent of technology and the increasing integration of digital tools in various aspects of life, it is crucial to equip individuals with the necessary mathematical skills to navigate and excel in this digital landscape. The community engagement program conducted in the city of Pekalongan from March to April 2023 with 40 participants includes teachers, students, and members of community. The project utilizes community-based workshops, online platforms, and interactive digital resources to engage community members in learning and applying mathematical concepts in real-world scenarios. The outcomes demonstrate an improved understanding of mathematical principles, enhanced problem-solving abilities, and increased digital proficiency among participants. The initiative emphasizes the importance of collaborative learning, leveraging digital tools, and promoting digital citizenship to empower communities in the digital age.
