Abstract

Students’ prior knowledge is shaped by their cultural environment before entering formal education. However, the utilization of local culture in class remains underexplored. This study analyzes students’ relational reasoning in understanding mathematics concepts based on local culture and different learning styles using an exploratory qualitative approach. The participants were initially engaged in observing ethnomathematical objects at Pura Mandara Giri Semeru Agung in Lumajang, completing a learning style questionnaire and a relational reasoning test, and representing the identified objects using GeoGebra 3D. Three students who identified more ethnomathematical objects and represented them accurately in GeoGebra 3D were selected as the research participants based on their learning styles. The visual learner consistently connected visual representations with mathematical concepts, enabling them to complete all stages of relational reasoning and revise their initial errors. The auditory learner was able to explain conceptual relationships verbally but encountered difficulties when translating these relationships into mathematical procedures and calculations. The kinesthetic learner relied primarily on direct observation of cultural objects but encountered challenges in transforming concrete experiences into complete mathematical models, resulting in incomplete solution procedures. These findings indicate that learning styles influence not only students’ performance but also the way they construct relationships among mathematical concepts in ethnomathematics-based problem solving.

Abstract

The limited understanding of geometric transformation concepts highlights the need to link mathematics instruction with real-world experiences. This study aimed to determine whether ethnomathematics-based contextual learning-utilizing the architecture of the KH. Anas Mahfud Grand Mosque-had a significant effect on the conceptual understanding of 9th-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Kedungjajang. A quasi-experimental design was employed, specifically the Posttest-Only Control Group Design. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants, resulting in Class IX C (25 students) serving as the experimental group and Class IX B (25 students) as the control group. Data were collected via an essay-based posttest and documentation, then analyzed using tests for normality and homogeneity, followed by an independent sample t-test. The results revealed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 (p < 0.05), with the experimental group achieving a higher mean posttest score (88.20) compared to the control group (68.96). These empirical findings demonstrate that implementing a local culture-based contextual learning strategy has a significant, positive impact on improving students' mastery of geometric transformation concepts

Abstract

This study aims to measure the impact of using dakon media on the mathematical reasoning abilities of class X students of MA Al Maliki Sukodono. In addition to testing the significance of the influence, the researcher also measured the extent of improvement in students' abilities after using this concrete manipulative media. The main problem in this study is the difficulty of students in understanding the arithmetic operations of arithmetic sequences, especially in determining the formula for the nth term and drawing logical mathematical conclusions. Methodologically, the researcher used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The research design applied the Posttest-Pretest Non-Equivalent Control Group model. The researcher determined the sample using a purposive sampling technique consisting of two classes. Class X-A with 19 students became the control class who learned with the conventional lecture method. Class X-B with 19 students became the experimental class who learned using dakon media. The researcher collected data through mathematical reasoning essay tests and student response questionnaires which were proven to be valid and reliable. The data analysis of this research used the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test and N-Gain index analysis. The results of the data analysis showed two important findings that complement each other. The Mann-Whitney test yielded a significance value of 0.755. This value is greater than the 0.05 significance level (0.755 > 0.05), so the researchers accepted the null hypothesis (H0) and rejected the alternative hypothesis (H1). This statistical finding proves that there is no significant difference in final scores directly between the control and experimental classes. Meanwhile, the N-Gain index test showed a significant difference in learning ability growth descriptively. The control class only recorded an average N-Gain of 0.03, which is considered low. The experimental class using dakon media achieved an average N-Gain of 0.41, which is considered moderate. Questionnaire response data supported these results by showing that students became more active and understood the material on arithmetic sequences more easily through dakon visualization. The researchers concluded that learning with dakon media was far more effective in improving students' mathematical reasoning abilities than conventional lecture methods.
