Abstract:This study aims to develop a geometry module based on ethnomathematics with a scientific approach, test the module's validity and feasibility, and determine the effect of using modules in learning on students' metacognitive abilities. This study uses a research and development (R&D) approach with a 4D model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The research subjects were students of 8rd Junior High School in Malang. Data analysis of the effect of the use of modules on metacognition abilities using th… Show more
“…This is the reason why the role of ethnomathematics is very important as a means to motivate, stimulate and provide new nuances in mathematics learning. This is in line with the opinion of Sudirman [15] that "Ethnomathematics represents real cultural objects in mathematical concepts" which means that ttnomathematics represents real cultural objects in mathematical concepts.…”
The objective of this research and development is twofold: firstly, to analyse the level of validity of teaching materials for transformation geometry based on visual ethnomathematics of Toraja carvings in Senior High School; and secondly, to analyse the level of practicality of teaching materials for transformation geometry based on visual ethnomathematics of Toraja carvings in Senior High School. The subjects in this development research consisted of three validators: linguists, material experts and media experts, as well as three mathematics teachers and 31 students at SMAN I Tana Toraja. Data collection was conducted through observation, interview sheets, teaching material validation sheets, teacher response questionnaires and student responses. Data analysis techniques were employed using both descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative approaches. The results of the qualitative descriptive data analysis yielded a number of suggestions for improvement from expert validation, teachers and students. The quantitative descriptive analysis revealed that the validation results from experts were of a very high standard, with a value of 85.56 in terms of language, 85.16 in terms of material, and 81.17 in terms of learning media. Moreover, the practicality of the developed teaching materials was rated as "very practical" by both teachers and students, with scores of 88.54 and 85.06, respectively.

“…Manggarai culture into mathematics learning. They have also produced ethnomathematics-based teaching materials oriented towards creative thinking skills, which are suitable for use in improving the thinking process and forming creative thinking skills which are equipped with student worksheets and creative thinking questions (Agusdianita et al, 2021;Hendriana & Buyung, 2020;Mutaqin et al, 2021;Pardimin et al, 2021;Priyatna & Utami, 2023;Ristanti & Murdiyani, 2021).…”
Objective: This research serves as a preliminary study to outline the framework and projection of ethnomathematics studies, particularly concerning the integration of ethnomathematics into mathematics curriculum and the development of mathematics learning objectives using an ethnomathematical approach. Method: The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology involving identifying, evaluating, and interpreting relevant literature on the research topic. Results: The findings reveal that the ethnomathematical approach effectively enhances students' understanding of mathematics. Students exhibit higher motivation and satisfaction with mathematics learning when connected to their local culture. Novelty: This research shows that the ethnomathematics approach facilitates the development of teachers' competencies in integrating cultural elements into mathematics education. Both teachers' recommendations and research findings support the inclusion of ethnomathematics in mathematics curricula both directly in developing learning tools and materials and in curriculum policies. Additionally, there is potential for technology applications to support ethnomathematics learning, enabling students to study mathematics independently. In conclusion, integrating ethnomathematics holds significant potential in improving students' mathematical understanding, connecting mathematics with local culture, and motivating students to learn mathematics more enjoyable and relevantly.
