Ethnomathematics on Surabaya Regional song notation

Abstract

Music correlates to mathematics in the form of pattern concepts, formulas, and calculations that can be used as variations of ethnomathematics-based learning. One of the mathematics learning’s goals, according to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), is a cultural purpose. This research aims to describe the results of mathematical element analysis in Surabaya regional songs. The research method used was qualitatively descriptive. The data sources used in this study were researchers, literatures, and field practitioners. Data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation studies. The documentation study was carried out by making a literature assessment corresponding to the required data. The data analysis technique used was Miles and Huberman’s models encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing stages. The results of study showed that there is a mathematical element in the regional song from Surabaya. The mathematical elements found in the analysis of block notation scores and number notations are summation of same-number fractions, summation of different fractions, multiplication of fractions, data processing in modes form, as well as data presentation in the form of tables, bar diagrams, and line charts. In addition to finding the mathematical elements in Surabaya regional songs, this study also proves that there is a correlation between music and mathematics.

Etnhomathematics: Exploration of Mathematical Elements in Oklik Music Art

“…Result of analysis which is related to the combination of Oklik musical instruments shows that Oklik as regional music art in Bojonegoro, East Java has mathematical elements which are related to the materials of combination and permutation in discrete mathematics. It enables cultural element of traditional musics to be one of media in teaching mathematics (Indrawati, Septiana, & Rahmawati, 2021). In addition (Luiz, 2007) states that there is a relationship between musics and learning in which musical experiences are in line with cognitive performance in mathematics learning.…”

“…The present status of the research may be seen in Table 1, which is organized according to the three categories of information. (Indrawati et al, 2021) Describe the results of mathematical element analysis in Surabaya regional songs and to prove that there is a correlation between music and mathematics Qualitatively descriptive.…”

“…In the end, (Indrawati et al, 2021) wanted to demonstrate that there is a connection between music and mathematics by describing the findings of their mathematical element analysis of regional songs from Surabaya and by showing that there is a correlation between the two.…”

“…The authors (François & Pinxten, 2011) investigate the subfield of etnowiskunde, which is significant in areas such as anthropology, history, philosophy, and mathematics education. (Indrawati et al, 2021) concluded that there is a mathematical component in regional songs from Surabaya, as well as a correlation between music and mathematics, in their research from 2021. These studies, taken as a whole, shed insight on the connections that can be drawn between mathematics and other domains, such as music and cultural traditions.…”

“…These studies, taken as a whole, shed insight on the connections that can be drawn between mathematics and other domains, such as music and cultural traditions. CONCLUSION (François & Pinxten, 2011;Hall, 2007;Indrawati et al, 2021;Sugianto et al, 2019), andIndrawati et al (2021) all investigate the relationship between mathematics and various fields, such as traditional Indonesian art, multicultural education, the subfield of etnowiskunde, and Surabaya regional songs. These works emphasize the significance of cultural and aesthetic traditions in mathematics instruction and learning.…”
