Abstract

Culturally-based mathematics learning becomes an important alternative to overcome students' learning difficulties. One relevant cultural product is Jepara Carving Art, which contains geometric concepts as part of ethnomathematics. This study aims to describe the mathematical concepts embedded in Jepara carving art and implement them as an alternative culturally-based mathematics learning method. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and field notes, with the research subjects being Jepara carving artisans. The results show that the mathematical concepts integrated into Jepara carving art include points, lines, angles, slopes (gradients), plane geometry, circles, solid geometry, congruence, and geometric transformations such as reflection and rotation. Additionally, the ethnomathematics of Jepara carving art can be implemented as an alternative culturally-based mathematics learning method, where several ethnomathematical activities relate to school mathematics materials. These findings emphasize the importance of linking local culture with mathematics learning to enhance students' understanding. Therefore, this study recommends the inclusion of Jepara carving art in the curriculum as an effective strategy for culturally-based mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze visual-spatial intelligence in the subject of solid geometry from a gender perspective. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The subjects of this study were eighth-grade students at a public junior high school in Tasikmalaya City. The primary instrument of this research was a geometry test designed to measure visual-spatial intelligence through aspects such as imagination, conceptualization, problem-solving, and pattern recognition. The findings revealed significant differences between male and female students in visual-spatial intelligence. Male students demonstrated superior visual-spatial intelligence compared to female students, as evidenced by their better performance in the aspects of imagination, conceptualization, problem-solving, and pattern recognition. On the other hand, female students only excelled in conceptualization and problem-solving. The implications of this study suggest that gender-based differences in visual-spatial intelligence require special attention in the development of teaching methods that can help reduce this gap, particularly in areas that present challenges for female students.  Copyr All rights rese
