Abstract

Mathematics exists as rooted in human ideas, ways, and techniques to respond to their environments. Along with its development, mathematics has been taught through formal education or schooling in the flat- not flexible ways and far from students' social and cultural lives. Indonesia is rich with culture, including the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). It is called a city of culture. Educators are not yet aware of this richness in the learning process to integrate it as the starting point. It is hard to find in mathematics textbooks in Indonesia, which put cultural context as starting points. Therefore, this study aims to explore Yogyakarta's culture in terms of contexts used in mathematics learning.  It is an ethnography study. Furthermore, the data was collected through literature artifacts, field observation, and interviews with resource persons who understand the seasons, system, and calculation of birth and death days. It is to clarify the researcher's understanding of the literature. This study showed that Yogyakarta's people use mathematical modeling to determine the seasons' system and funerary dates. These models have the potential to be used as a starting point in learning mathematics.

Abstract

The necessity for establishing links between school mathematics and students' personal lives and cultures, as enshrined in the ethnomathematics program, is being recognized and investigated in different regions across the globe. However, a comprehensive understanding of the antecedents that drive the integration of ethnomathematical perspectives into mathematics teaching among mathematics teachers is still limited. This cross-sectional survey aimed to address this gap by investigating whether the explanatory variables (such as gender, teaching experience, and religion) predict the mathematics teacher educators’ incorporation of the mathematics found outside of school into geometry teaching. We included a sample of 128 mathematics teacher educators in the survey through non-probability sampling. A logistic regression model was employed to analyze the data garnered using a web-based questionnaire. Based on the findings, all three explanatory variables (gender, teaching experience, and religion) did not predict mathematics teacher educators’ incorporation of mathematics found outside of school into geometry teaching. The findings would help key actors of mathematics education to re-examine their beliefs and practices about the incorporation of ethnomathematical perspectives into teaching that builds on students’ socio-cultural experiences. Implications for teaching and future research are reported.
