Abstract

The rapid development of the times can lead to a lack of understanding of culture. A lack of understanding of a culture can lead to a lack of understanding of the message conveyed by a work of art. One of the cultures in Indonesia is batik. Batik is the result of a touch of art and technology. Likewise, the Riau Islands have batik, that is Gonggong batik. Therefore, this study has the objective of knowing the signifier, signified, denotative and connotative meanings of the five Gonggong (Strombus Canurium) batik themes created by Mr Yuspiq. In this study using qualitative descriptive research methods with Roland Barthes semiology analisis approach. The results of this study indicate that the denotative meaning of Gonggong is an icon of the Riau Islands. The connotative meaning is to describe Malay community leaders as having courage, religion, social spirit, harmony, sincerity, and humility in facing life

Abstract

This study explores ethnomathematical elements in Jogi Dance, a traditional Malay art from Batam, identifying opportunities for its use in contextual geometry education. Using qualitative ethnographic design, data were collected through systematic observation of seven main dance movements, in-depth interviews, visual documentation, and literature review. Analysis employed the Spradley model to map cultural structure and emerging mathematical concepts. Results revealed that Jogi Dance embodies concepts of angles, lines, triangles, circles, rotations, translations, reflections, number patterns, and periodic functions reflected in movements, floor patterns, and dancer formations. These findings open opportunities to develop various learning media, including contextual geometry worksheets based on dance movements, floor pattern diagram modules representing transformations, motion analysis videos, and digital modeling using GeoGebra. Integrating local culture through Jogi Dance helps students understand abstract mathematical concepts concretely while supporting cultural preservation and character formation aligned with the Pancasila Student Profile. Although exploratory-descriptive, the mapping of ethnomathematical concepts and potentials serves as a fundamental stage before developing learning models or effectiveness tests, providing a solid foundation for pedagogical innovations that educators and teachers can maximize.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is a crucial competency for university students, yet research indicates that many students struggle to apply it effectively. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical mindsets in addressing mathematical literacy challenges and their implications for mathematics education in higher education. The research employs a descriptive qualitative design, involving three second-semester students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods include observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of mathematical literacy tests, focusing on indicators such as the ability to formulate mathematical situations, apply mathematical concepts and procedures, and interpret mathematical results. Data analysis was conducted through several stages: data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions, identifying students' mindsets in solving mathematical problems, and source triangulation. The findings reveal that students' mathematical thinking is influenced by cognitive development, cognitive style, and problem-solving strategies. While some students successfully solve mathematical literacy problems, they still make errors in several concepts and often exhibit carelessness in reading the questions. This research has significant implications for mathematics education in higher education, including the need to emphasize conceptual understanding, balance procedures, and concepts, and utilize visual representations. The development of teaching materials and mathematical literacy questions should be designed to accommodate diverse student mindsets and be grounded in realistic contexts.
