“…Mathematics Physics is one of the most important subjects in physics education which is the mother of all sciences and the basis of all research to understand the patterns of the world (Yalçın, 2017;Hu et al, 2018;Rezeki et al, 2021). And physics is a part of science that is closely related to how to systematically analyze natural phenomena and apply conceptual understanding in the learning (Berek et al, 2016;Wartono et al, 2018;Gunawan et al, 2019).…”

Student’s perception is the student's assessment of something or information. The objective of this study was to discover how students' general perceptions and gender differences in electronic modules of mathematical physics. The research type is survey-based research with quantitative approach. The research population consists of physics education students from Universitas Jambi with the sample of 80 students from class A and class B. The data analysis techniques used in the study are descriptive statistics analysis and inferential data analysis using t-tests. The results showed that, overall, students have a positive perception with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.011 < 0.005, which means that there is a significant difference in students’ perception. The perception of class A students with gender differences has a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.003, while the grade B students have a Sig. (2 tailed) values of 0.020 and 0.013. This means that class A and classs B students have a discernible difference of perception. Student’s perception may be used as a determining factor in the choice of learning materials. This research can be used as a guideline for the development of student perception assessment in the electronic module of Mathematical Physics in the future. The update of this study aims to compare students' perceptions of the overall online module of mathematics and gender differences.

“…The development of learning devices that are carried out optimally can provide maximum contribution to learning (Amir et al, 2021;Maclinton & Andrian, 2022;Risnawati et al, 2019). Paying attention to the right procedures in the development of learning tools is an important requirement to produce quality products (Rezeki et al, 2021;Wahyuni et al, 2020). Quality educational products will not be possible to get without following the right development steps following what has been suggested by experts in their field (Awofala, 2017;Imhangbe et al, 2020).…”

“…The purpose of this research is to produce ethnomathematics-based mathematics learning tools on valid and practical quadrilaterals and triangles. Mathematics learning that is integrated with culture can produce a maximum educational product in maintaining a regional culture (Prastiwi, 2013;Rezeki et al, 2021). The integration will produce the best educational product and help teachers to give the best experience in classroom.…”

Ethnomathematics is mathematics that appears in a particular culture and is considered a learning approach that aims to enable students to solve mathematical problems related to their daily activities which include grouping, counting, measuring, designing buildings or tools, playing, and determining location. This study aims to produce ethnomathematics-based mathematics learning tools on quadrilaterals and triangles that have been tested for feasibility. Learning tools are in the form of learning implementation plans (LIP) and student worksheets (SAS). This study uses the R&D method with the following steps: potential and problems, data collection, product design, design validity, design revision, and final product. In the R&D method, researchers did not use the pilot stage because school learning was carried out online. The data collection technique used is validation data and validator response data from two Mathematics Education Lecturers and one Mathematics Teacher. The data analysis technique used is validation data analysis and validator response data analysis to mathematics learning tools. From the research results obtained LIP validation results 89.72% with very valid criteria and 92.25% SAS validation results with very valid criteria. While the results of the validator's response to LIP were 80% with good criteria and the results of the validator's response to SAS were 79.86% with good criteria. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the development of ethnomathematics-based mathematics learning tools on quadrilateral and triangle material is feasible to be used and tested in junior high schools.

“…External mathematical connections and student activities can both improve through ethnomathematics [18]. Learning mathematics using culture can improve the quality of teaching [19]. Therefore culture-based mathematics helps teachers develop teaching that can influence the development of students' mathematical knowledge.…”

In general, many Indonesian students have difficulty learning mathematics. Mathematics is widely used and developed by humans to solve problems in everyday life. However, mathematics is rarely taught as a culturally related subject. The mosque is a cultural embodiment whose ornaments use a lot of geometric motifs. Ethnomathematics studies the relation between mathematics and culture. This research aims to explore the geometry concepts on mosque ornaments, determine how to construct mosque ornaments using geometry concepts, and create contextual geometry problems based on mosque ornaments. The research employed a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method. The research location was the Grand Mosque of Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The researchers act as an instrument of data collection. The triangulation technique is used to generate valid data, which was carried out through observations, interviews, and literature studies. Data condensation, data display, and concluding were used to analyze the research data. This research showed that the Grand Mosque of Bandung ornaments have geometry concepts, namely points, lines, angles, triangles, squares, rhombuses, kites, trapeziums, hexagons, circles, translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation. Mosque ornaments can be constructed using geometry concepts. In addition, contextual geometry problems can be created based on mosque ornaments. These results indicate that the ornaments of the Grand Mosque of Bandung are rich in geometry concepts. Therefore, mosque ornaments can be used as alternative learning media to overcome students' mathematical difficulties, especially in geometry material.
