The geometric contents and the values of local batik in Indonesia

Abstract

The culture was carefully associated with regular lifestyles, such as inside the discipline of education. However, there needs to be awareness among school members of the absorption of the culture around them through learning, especially mathematics. Therefore, this study aims to explore the geometric contents in the form of geometric transformations and the values of local batik Indonesia. This study was a qualitative study with an ethnographic approach. The techniques used in this study are observation, literature review, and interviews with Lampung cultural and batik craftsmen. Observations were made by observing batik activities and Lampung batik motifs and conducting interviews to find the mathematical and philosophical elements contained in them. The data were then completed and checked for correctness based on the results from the literature review. The outcomes of this observation imply that the human beings of Lampung utilize the idea of geometric transformation in making batik motifs, which include the Siger motif, pohon hayat motif, and kapal motif. The idea of geometric transformation used is reflection, dilation, and translation. Thus, this research can be a reference for learning mathematics and exploring other Lampung batiks motifs.

Philosophy-Infused Culture-Based Learning Models In Mathematics Education

“…Values: An additional ontological dimension lies in the analysis of geometric contents and the incorporation of local batik values in Indonesia (Noerhasmalina & Khasanah, 2023). This analysis reveals the utilization of geometric transformations in creating batik motifs, thereby integrating cultural values into mathematical concepts.…”

“…Dalam pembelajaran matematika sangat diperlukan untuk mengkontekstualkan matematika dengan lingkungan budaya yang terdapat di sekitar siswa (Prahmana & D'Ambrosio, 2020). Selain itu, integrasi etnomatematika dalam pembelajaran matematika terbukti dapat meningkatkan pemahaman siswa dan membuat mereka merasa bahwa matematika yang dipelajarinya lebih bermakna (Noerhasmalina & Khasanah, 2023).…”

Exploration of Unggan weaving in Minang culture: An ethnomathematics study

“…Regarding Unggan weaving, there are several previous studies, namely Jamarun and Hamzah (2017) examine the diversity of motifs, Syafriadi et al, (2021) identifying the types of motifs produced, Noerhasmalina and Khasanah (2023) examining the algorithmic aspects of determining consumer purchasing patterns. These studies are still centered on economics and so far, no one has studied Unggan woven fabric in the field of ethnomathematics.…”

“…These studies are still centered on economics and so far, no one has studied Unggan woven fabric in the field of ethnomathematics. For ethnomathematics research related to woven fabrics has also been widely discussed, for example Harahap and Mujib (2022) explores the concept of geometry of flat shapes from Medan Batik cloth, Prahmana and D'Ambrosio (2020) explores transformation geometry material from Jogja Batik, Noerhasmalina and Khasanah (2023) explores transformation geometry from Lampung Batik and Kumala and Tsabitah (2022) explores the concept of geometric from Banyumas Batik. Related to this study, researchers are interested in uncovering mathematical elements of Unggan weaving to enrich the repertoire of contextual mathematics learning based on Unggan culture, Sijunjung, West Sumatra.…”
