Abstract

When studying mathematics, many students consider mathematics to be a difficult subject because they see it as a close system that prioritizes standards of rigor, speed, and memory. Conventional learning methods might make students bored. Various model is needed to overcome this. One of which is the culture associated with learning mathematics, known as ethnomathematics. The purpose of this study was to explore the bead crafts of the Kenyah Dayak tribe, located in Kalimantan, Indonesia, that develop heritage motifs attributed to the concept of geometric transformations on rotation and dilatation. This type of research was qualitative research involving observation, interviews, and documentation. The subject of this study was bead craft in the local area and the object of this study was the concept of geometric transformation on rotation and dilatation that exists in the craft motifs of the beads made. The data obtained in this study provides insights into the various cultural objects that can be used for triggering mathematics thinking. Through this resource, students may understand geometric concepts such as rotation and dilation, applicable to the real context of their daily life.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the traditional clothes of the Dayak Kenyah tribe and is related to the concept of geometric transformation. This type of research is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The subject of this research is the traditional clothes and accessories of the Dayak Kenyah tribe, while the object of this study is the geometric transformation concept of the Dayak Kenyah in traditional clothes motifs. Data was collected through observation, interview, and documentation in traditional clothes of the Dayak Kenyah tribe. Based on the exploration results, it was found thirteen traditional clothes and accessories for the Dayak Kenyah traditional clothes (Bluko, Besunung, Tabit, Kelempit, Baheng, Sapai, Ta'a, Tapung, Sabau, Uleng, Seleng, Kirip, and Anting) which are examples of the application geometric transformation concepts. The results of the research show that the motifs found in the traditional clothing of the Dayak Kenyah tribe can be a concrete example of the concept of geometric transformation. The geometric transformation concepts found include (1) Translation in Tabit, Kelempit, Ta'a, and Sabau; (2) Reflections in Bluko, Tabit, Kelempit, Sapai, Ta'a, Tapung, Sabau, Uleng, Seleng and Earrings; (3) Rotation of the Tabit; (4) No dilatation was found in the traditional clothes motifs of the Dayak Kenyah tribe. Apart from that, in Besunung, Baheng, and Kirip, there is no concept of geometric transformation. The example represented in the traditional clothes of the Dayak Kenyah tribe can then become an alternative recommendation for learning media so that students can better interpret geometric transformation material contextually.
