Abstract

The Karampuang Indigenous People are still actively carrying out rituals to worship the spirits of their ancestors as a form of thanksgiving and a wish for a better life. However, for some of the Karampuang Indigenous people, this ritual is only a form of gratitude and respect for traditional leaders. This research aims to explore and reveal how the Mappogau Sihanua ritual influences and shapes religious, social, and cultural values in Karampuang Indigenous peoples. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method with the subject, namely the people in the location of the Karampuang Traditional Village, Tompobulu Village, Bulupoddo District, Sinjai Regency. Through the stages of analysis, including data reduction, data presentation, and data verification in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation, the findings reveal several efforts that can be made to preserve Karampuang Indigenous culture. This study shows that the ritual tradition of Mappogau Sihanua needs to be preserved by increasing inclusivity so that it can be accepted by the wider community, including people who do not understand myths that are considered sacred. The acknowledgment of various cultural identities in society is made possible by inclusivity. Within the Karampuang traditional community, maintaining the Mappogau Sihanua custom can symbolize acknowledging the plurality of cultures.

Abstract

Logical thinking skills are crucial for students to navigate increasingly complex learning processes, as these skills are part of Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). They involve analyzing problems scientifically and systematically to make informed generalizations. Unfortunately, national and international surveys show that students' logical thinking skills remain low. This study investigates how implementing ethnomathematics-based Augmented Reality through the façade of the Bola Soba character building can enhance students' logical thinking skills. A quasi-experimental research method with a non-equivalent control group design was applied at one public school in South Sulawesi, focusing on eighth-grade students. Two classes were sampled using purposive nonprobability sampling: 30 students in class VIII B as the experimental group and 30 in class VIII A as the control group. Results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group, with a gain score of 0.70 (70%), categorized as high. This indicates that using ethnomathematics-based Augmented Reality significantly enhances students' logical thinking skills. The study contributes to the field by showing how local wisdom, represented by Bola Soba facades integrated with modern educational technology, can foster students' cognitive development.
