Abstract

Previous research has highlighted the challenges of improving students' mathematical skills, particularly in connecting mathematical concepts to everyday life and developing strong mathematical habits of mind. This research aims to integrate problem-based learning (PBL) into a mathematics module to enhance mathematical connection abilities and mathematical habits of mind. The ADDIE method was employed to achieve this goal, encompassing five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The findings indicate that media, material, and language experts deemed the module highly suitable. Furthermore, the product was rated as highly practical based on teacher assessments, student responses, and observations during implementation. Effectiveness tests of the product, conducted through MANOVA, t-tests, and N-gain tests, revealed that the module is highly effective in enhancing students' mathematical connection abilities and moderately effective in improving their mathematical habits of mind. These findings underscore the importance of integrating digital learning technologies to increase the module's engagement and accessibility.

Abstract

This research explores the integration of ethnomathematics and virtual reality (VR) to digitize Indonesian museums, enhancing educational accessibility and cultural preservation. The study aims to investigate how VR technology can visualize and communicate mathematical knowledge embedded in Indonesian cultural artifacts, particularly within traditional crafts, architecture, and measurement systems. Employing a qualitative approach with a design-based research (DBR) methodology, data were gathered through observation, interviews, and artifact analysis in several Indonesian museums. VR-based ethnomathematics models were developed, tested, and revised iteratively. Findings show that VR facilitates immersive experiences and improves student engagement in learning mathematics through cultural context. This approach contributes to mathematics education by integrating technology and local culture within the framework of ethnomathematics. Integrating ethnomathematics and virtual reality (VR) in museum digitalization has significant implications for mathematics education research. VR-based applications in ethnomathematics offer inclusive opportunities for students in remote or underserved areas to experience museum-based learning. This addresses educational equity and access, especially for regions where physical museum visits are not feasible.

Abstract

Mathematical critical thinking remains an essential yet underdeveloped competency in 21st-century mathematics learning, particularly when instruction lacks meaningful cultural context. At SMP Pembangunan Piyungan, number-topic instruction predominantly emphasizes procedural over contextual and reflective thinking, signaling an urgent need for culturally-grounded, innovative learning media. This study examines the improvement trend in seventh-grade students' mathematical critical thinking ability through E-Worksheets integrating Ethno-Modeling—connecting mathematical concepts with Piyungan's local cultural context—and the Tri-N approach (Niteni, Nirokke, Nambahi), which systematically guides students through observing, imitating, and developing ideas. Employing a time-series design, data were collected via mathematical critical thinking tests administered at each intervention meeting and analyzed quantitatively by tracking average score trends over time. Results demonstrate a consistent upward trend, with average scores rising from 89.09 at the first meeting to 96.18 at the seventh—indicating that E-Worksheets grounded in local cultural contexts and structured Tri-N learning stages effectively foster students' mathematical critical thinking development. These findings position Ethno-Modeling-based E-Worksheets integrated with Tri-N as a promising alternative medium for meaningful and culturally responsive mathematics learning.
