Developing ethnomathematics-based worksheet to teach linear equations

Abstract

Ethnomathematics-based learning is using local cultural context within the teaching and learning of mathematics. Using ethnomathematics-based learning sources in the classroom can help create a meaningful learning experience. This article reports a design research conducted to develop an ethnomathematics-based worksheet to be used to teach the concept of linear equations. The target users were first-year students of the primary education department of Syiah Kuala University, Indonesia. The development of the worksheet was carried out in three phases which consisted of preliminary research, developing or prototyping and assessment. Data were gathered using validation sheets and observation sheets. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively where the assessment of the product was based on its validity, practicality and effectivity. In this article, we reported the validity and practicality criteria. Several revisions had been made during the development of the worksheet. The end result of the product satisfied the criteria of validity and practicality. These findings suggest that the development of the product can proceed to the assessment phase to test the effectiveness of the worksheet.

“…Jadual 2: Kajian Mengikut Negara Berdasarkan kepada Rajah 2, dapat disimpulkan bahawa kajian empirikal terpilih paling banyak dilaksanakan di negara Indonesia berjumlah 30 kajian (Aini et al, 2018;Budiarto et al, 2019;Farokhah et al, 2017;Fendrikfendrik et al, 2020;Fitriyah et al, 2018;Hakim et al, 2020;Dewi Herawaty et al, 2020;Kusuma et al, 2019;Kusumaningsih et al, 2020;Lena et al, 2019;Mauluah & Marsigit, 2019;Muhammad et al, 2019;Mukeriyanto et al, 2020;Nursyahidah et al, 2018;Pinheiro, 2020;Rohaeti et al, 2020;Roza et al, 2020;Septianawati et al, 2017;Sowanto & Mulyadin, 2019;Susiana et al, 2020;Triwahyuningtyas et al, 2020;Ulya & Rahayu, 2018;Utami et al, 2020;Vitoria & Monawati, 2020;Widada et al, 2019;Widada, Herawaty, Andriyani, et al, 2020;Widada, Herawaty, Beka, et al, 2020;Yunian Putra & Indriani, 2017). Kajian mengikut negara memang yang paling banyak di Indonesia akan tetapi jumlah negara yang ada daripada keseluruhan artikel yang dianalisis ialah sebanyak 10 negara.…”

“…Kaedah campuran melibatkan 7% dan kaedah eksperimen pula 10 peratus, adapun kaedah eksperimen banyak juga digunakan untuk membantu melihat peningkatan daripada penggunaan bahan ajar yang dikembangkan. Kebanyakan kajian menggunakan kaedah pendekatan kualitatif dan Mengikut rajah 6, terlihat bahawa aspek Matematik yang banyak diukur dan diperhatikan ialah aspek pengetahuan dasar Matematik (Amit & Abu Qouder, 2017;Budiarto et al, 2019;Fendrikfendrik et al, 2020;Dewi Herawaty et al, 2020;Karen François & Charoula Stathopoulou, 2012;Kusuma et al, 2019;Mauluah & Marsigit, 2019;Mukeriyanto et al, 2020;Nursyahidah et al, 2018;Owens et al, 2015;Pinheiro, 2020;Richardo et al, 2019;Rohaeti et al, 2020;Roza et al, 2020;Septianawati et al, 2017;Sowanto & Mulyadin, 2019;Triwahyuningtyas et al, 2020;Ulya & Rahayu, 2018;Vitoria & Monawati, 2020;Yunian Putra & Indriani, 2017). Manakala aspek Matematik lainnya yang digunakan dalam kajian iaitu aspek geometri sebanyak 37% melibatkan aspek geometri pelajar tingkatan sekolah menengah tentang bagaimana penggunaan geommetri pada budaya.…”

Computational Thinking (CT)-based Student Worksheet to Improve the Mathematical Literacy of Mathematics Prospective Teacher

“…According to Choo et al (2011), SW gives students instructions or an overview of the steps they need to take to solve problems. A good SW can help teachers learn and assist students in solving problems on their own (Basuki & Wijaya, 2018;Sipayung & Simanjuntak, 2018;Vitoria & Monawati, 2020). For this situation, the improvement of SW to foster understudies' numerical education should be finished.…”

Mathematical Literacy-Oriented Student Worksheets Using the Sidoarjo Context

“…SW provides instructions or an overview of students' problemsolving steps (Choo, Rotgans, Yew & Schmidt, 2011). A good SW can make it easier for teachers to learn and help students solve problems independently (Basuki & Wijaya, 2021;Sipayung & Simanjuntak, 2018;Vitoria & Monawati, 2020). In this case, the development of SW to develop students' mathematical literacy needs to be done.…”
