The research sample was student prospective elementary school teachers at Mataram University who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques are carried out through objective tests in the form of and post-tests. The research results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group with an average pre-test score of 62.5 increasing to 84.17 in the post-tests. Meanwhile in the control group, the average pre-test score of 63.17 only increased to 68.5. This data proves that the RADEC model assisted by interactive games is more effective in improving mastery of basic science concepts compared to conventional learning methods. The RADEC model has also been proven to increase student engagement, motivation, and critical and creative thinking abilities in line with the demands of 21st-century skills.

Abstract

This study aims to identify teachers' perceptions and needs for the development of ethnopedagogy-based teaching materials to improve literacy and numeracy. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, utilizing data collection techniques that involved distributing questionnaires to elementary school teachers from diverse cultural backgrounds. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to examine the tendency of respondents' answers regarding aspects of literacy and numeracy, as well as local cultural integration in the learning process. The results show that the majority of teachers are aware of the importance of literacy and numeracy and support the implementation of ethnopedagogy; however, they encounter obstacles in the availability of relevant teaching materials and limited professional development opportunities. These findings suggest a pressing need for the development of teaching materials that not only enhance literacy and numeracy skills but also foster students' cultural identities through contextual learning. This study is an initial contribution to the development of an ethnopedagogy-based teaching material model as a strategic solution in improving the quality of numeracy learning in elementary schools while supporting the preservation of local culture in education.

The purpose of this community service activity is to improve teacher competency in developing relevant ethnopedagogy-based teaching materials and supporting the strengthening of elementary school students' literacy and numeracy. This community service is motivated by the need for teachers to have training in preparing contextual teaching materials that support the learning process. The activity was carried out at SDN 27 Cakranegara with the involvement of the principal, teachers, and a team of lecturers. The implementation method consisted of socialization, training, technology application, evaluation, and the program's ongoing phase. The results of the community service implementation showed an increase in teachers' understanding of the concepts of literacy, numeracy, and ethnopedagogy as well as an increase in teachers' skills in producing creative, contextual, and culturally appropriate teaching modules. The response results showed a very high participant satisfaction index and reflected the optimal achievement of the training objectives.
