Abstract

Major changes in education caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic led to a decrease in students' thinking skills. Therefore, it is very important to analyze how the level of thinking ability of students in this era. The purpose of this study was to analyze students' higher order mathematical thinking skills in the era of Covid-19 Pandemic by using three stages of metaphorical thinking. This research was conducted in the even semester. The subjects in this study were 11 students of class IIB Mathematics Education Study Program, Universitas Mahasaraswati Denpasar. This research uses descriptive analysis techniques. Data collection was carried out through tests, interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the students' high-order mathematical thinking skills were very low where only 20% of students answered correctly at the grounding metaphors stage, 25% at the linking metaphors stage, and only 25% at the redefinitional metaphors stage. In general, this phenomenon occurs due to the reduced opportunities for students to interact and discuss during online learning in the Pandemic era which also results in a lack of opportunities for students to exchange understanding and knowledge. Students also cannot understand problems in depth and relate concepts to everyday life.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics examines the intersection of mathematics and cultural practices, revealing how mathematical principles are embedded within societal traditions. Despite extensive research in ethnomathematics, limited studies have explored its application in understanding the Chinese zodiac system and its mathematical foundations. This study addresses this gap by investigating the mathematical structures underlying the determination of the Chinese zodiac and its elements, offering a novel perspective on how arithmetic sequences and modular arithmetic are utilized within this cultural tradition. The study aims to formulate these traditional calculations into a mathematical framework, thereby bridging cultural heritage and mathematical learning. Employing a qualitative research design with an ethnographic approach, data collection was conducted through field observations, in-depth interviews, and thematic analysis to ensure validity, reliability, and representativeness. The findings reveal that the determination of the Chinese zodiac and its elements involves fundamental mathematical operations such as multiplication, addition, and modular arithmetic. This study not only demonstrates the inherent mathematical reasoning within cultural traditions but also contributes to the broader discourse on mathematics education by integrating cultural contexts into learning. Finally, the results have significant implications for mathematics education, offering an alternative pedagogical approach that enhances students’ engagement and comprehension by contextualizing mathematical concepts within real-life cultural practices.
