Abstract

One of the efforts to preserve puppet culture among the younger generation is to introduce puppets as early as possible to young people, this introduction can be through learning mathematics. One of the steps that can be taken is by learning based on puppet ethnomathematics. This study aims to identify and describe the concept of statistics contained in the process and form contained in shadow puppets as a medium for learning mathematics. The population in this study were VII grade junior high school students in Baran village totaling 15 students while the sample in this study were 8 VIII grade junior high school students. The research subjects were selected through an initial interview of willingness to participate in learning activities that took place on April 27-28, 2024. The data collection instrument in this research is the researcher as the main instrument while the instrument to complement the data and compare with existing data through activities such as observation, interviews, and documentation. This research uses the grounded theory method. The results of this study indicate that the fundamental aspects of mathematics contained in shadow puppets can be implemented in contextual learning of mathematics at the first level of middle school, especially in the content of class VIII statistics in the form of questions. This conclusion is reinforced through interviews which confirm that students have an interest in learning mathematics using shadow puppets, and the results of the answers reviewed through the learner worksheet  given to students can be done thoroughly so that learning based on shadow puppet ethnomathematics has the potential to be implemented in formal schools.

Abstract

Abstract: The study aims to improve students' mathematical literacy through the application of problem-based learning model based on ethnomathematics of Taman Sari artifacts in class VIII C MTsN 9 Bantul in the 2024/2025 academic year. This research is a classroom action research conducted in 2 cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 30 students of class VIII C MTsN 9 Bantul in the 2024/2025 academic year. Research data were obtained through tests, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Data validation using method triangulation techniques. The results showed that there was an increase in mathematical literacy of VIII C MTsN 9 Bantul students in the 2024/2025 academic year through the application of a problem-based learning model based on ethnomathematics of Taman Sari artifacts. In the formulate indicator (formulating problems) the pretest results with a percentage of 43.11% increased to 61.55% in cycle I and to 74.14% in cycle II. In the employ indicator (applying concepts) the pretest results with a percentage of 39.22% rose to 58.11% in cycle I and to 70.69% in cycle II. In the interpret indicator (interpret and evaluate) the pretest results with a percentage of 31.72% rose to 40.34% in cycle I and to 56.37% in cycle II. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is an increase in students' mathematical literacy in mathematics lessons, especially on the material of the pythagorean theorem through the application of a problem-based learning model based on ethnomathematics of Taman Sari artifacts.
