Abstract

This study examines the role of ethnomathematics in mathematics education through a systematic literature review. The scope of the study includes an analysis of various research findings related to the integration of cultural elements in mathematics learning. The objective of this study is to identify the contributions of ethnomathematics to students’ conceptual understanding, numeracy literacy, problem-solving skills, as well as their affective and cultural development. The method employed is a literature-based study involving the review of relevant scholarly articles. The findings indicate that ethnomathematics is effective in enhancing conceptual understanding by connecting abstract mathematical ideas to cultural contexts that are familiar to students. In addition, this approach supports the development of numeracy literacy and problem-solving abilities, while also increasing students’ motivation and engagement in learning. Ethnomathematics further contributes to fostering cultural awareness and strengthening students’ cultural identity. However, its implementation still faces challenges, particularly in terms of teacher readiness and the limited availability of culturally integrated learning materials. In conclusion, ethnomathematics is a comprehensive instructional approach with strong potential to improve mathematics learning outcomes across cognitive, affective, and social domains.

Abstract

This study develops a mobile learning–based geometry numeracy media called Nuget-Mo. The media integrates a contextual learning approach into the topic of quadrilateral area. The primary objective of the study is to improve students' numeracy literacy significantly. The method used is Research and Development with the ADDIE model. The study involves 30 seventh-grade students from SMPN 16 Jambi City. The purposive sampling technique is used to determine the research sample. Data were obtained through expert validation, student questionnaires, and numeracy tests. Expert validation showed scores above 85%. These scores placed Nuget-Mo in the "very valid" category. Student questionnaires indicated a very high level of practicality. The practicality score reached 85,43%. Students found the media very easy to use and engaging. The effectiveness test showed a very significant improvement in learning outcomes. The average pretest score was 64,06. The posttest score increased to 89,53 after the use of the media. The N-Gain value of 0,71 belonged to the high category. This improvement indicated much better concept mastery. The media also enhanced students' problem-solving abilities. The findings confirmed that Nuget-Mo was highly effective in improving numeracy literacy. The media was valid, practical, and highly suitable for implementation in geometry learning. Nuget-Mo proved to provide a significant learning impact for students.
