Abstract

This community service program aims to improve the competence of elementary school teachers under the Bantul Education Office in implementing Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) in mathematics through training, mentoring, and the development of culture-based teaching materials to foster inclusive, engaging, and contextually relevant learning environments. The program was conducted through workshops and hands-on practice, during which teachers were trained to develop teaching modules, lesson plans, instructional media, and assessment instruments that integrate educational values, everyday contexts, and local cultural elements. Program evaluation was conducted using observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to examine participants' engagement, understanding, and feedback. The evaluation results indicated that the integration of educational values received the highest average score (4.71), followed by contextual relevance (4.58) and the incorporation of cultural artifacts (4.22). Although teachers demonstrated a high level of consistency in implementing CRT principles, integrating local culture into mathematics instruction remained a major challenge. The greatest barrier identified was the limited availability of contextual and digital teaching materials, with an average difficulty score of 3.28. Nevertheless, teachers demonstrated a strong awareness of and perceived need for CRT in mathematics education, reflected in a high average score of 5.16. These findings suggest that Culturally Responsive Teaching extends beyond a pedagogical approach by providing a transformative framework that connects mathematics learning with students' lived experiences while preserving local cultural heritage. Continuous mentoring and the development of context-based digital teaching resources are therefore essential to support the sustainable implementation of CRT in elementary schools.

Abstract

Numeracy skills are a foundational component of primary education; however, national assessments indicate that Indonesian students' numeracy proficiency remains suboptimal. One often-overlooked factor in the development of numeracy learning materials is the role of parenting styles—particularly democratic parenting—which supports children’s autonomy and active participation in the learning process. This study aims to develop a numeracy activity book titled Numeraktif, grounded in the principles of democratic parenting, to enhance numeracy learning among primary school pupils. The research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, utilizing a simplified version of the Borg and Gall model, encompassing seven stages: preliminary study, planning, product draft development, expert validation, revision, limited trials, and final revision. Content and media experts conducted the validation process, while practicality and effectiveness were assessed through trials involving students, teachers, and parents. The validation results demonstrated a high level of feasibility, with an average score of 4.6. The practicality test yielded a score of 4.3, indicating the material’s usability and engagement value. Furthermore, the effectiveness test revealed a mastery level of 90%, underscoring the product's significant impact on improving students' numeracy skills. These results affirm that the Numeraktif activity book is both pedagogically sound and responsive to learners' psychosocial needs, presenting a promising and innovative approach to numeracy education in Indonesian primary schools.

Abstract

Student engagement plays a crucial role in fostering meaningful mathematics learning in elementary school and is strongly influenced by the classroom’s social environment. However, limited research has examined how classroom social environments predict student engagement in upper elementary mathematics learning and whether this relationship differs by gender. This study aimed to examine the predictive role of the classroom social environment in student engagement in mathematics learning among upper elementary students. A quantitative ex post facto design was employed involving 316 students in Grades IV-VI. Data were collected using validated and reliable Guttman-scale instruments measuring classroom social environment and student engagement in mathematics learning. A normality test with Kolmogorov Smirnov Test indicated that the data were not normally distributed, therefore, nonparametric statistical analyses were applied, including Spearman rank correlation, coefficients of determination, and Mann-Whitney U tests. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between classroom social environment and student engagement in mathematics learning, explaining 24.01% of the variance in engagement, which falls within the moderate category. Female students reported higher perceptions of classroom social environment and engagement, whereas the predictive contribution of the classroom social environment to student engagement in mathematics learning was stronger among male students. Among the dimensions of the classroom social environment, promoting academic interaction emerged as the strongest predictor. These findings highlight the importance of supportive and interactive classroom environments in strengthening engagement in elementary mathematics learning.
