Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of napier rod media on the conceptual understanding of class III SD Negeri 020252 Binjai. This type of research is quantitative. The subjects of the study were all students of class IIIA and IIIB SD Negeri 020252 Binjai. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 44 students by taking 2 classes, namely the experimental class and the control class, the experimental class numbered 22 and the control class numbered 22 students. The research instrument used a test. Data analysis techniques include validity test, reliability test, normality test, homogeneity test, n-gain test and hypothesis test. The results showed that napier rod media had an effect on students' conceptual understanding abilities because the results of the t-test analysis (independent t-test) obtained from the results of the significant value (sig.2-tailed) 0.000 0.05, then Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected, meaning that there was an effect of napier rod media on the conceptual understanding of class III students of SD Negeri 020252 Binjai. Students who received treatment using Napier rod media had a higher average when compared to those without using Napier rod media. This means that the variable x (solution) used in the study affects the variable y (problem).

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of ethnomathematics media, in the form of engklek games, on the problem-solving abilities of third-grade students at SD Negeri Kepong, Malaysia. This is quantitative research. Mathematics learning in elementary schools generally still focuses on conventional methods that emphasize memorizing formulas for students without linking them to the context of students' lives. This condition affects low mathematical problem-solving abilities, especially with flat shapes. The ethnomathematics approach through the traditional game of engklek offers an alternative, contextual, and fun learning experience by linking local cultural elements to geometric concepts. This study used a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design with 6 third-grade students from SD Sanggar Bimbingan Kepong, Malaysia, selected using a total sampling technique. Data collection for this study was conducted as a pretest-posttest with 10 questions. Students were given a pretest before treatment, and then a posttest. The study found that ethnomathematics media in the form of engklek games, as a mathematics learning medium, influenced the learning outcomes of third-grade students at SD Negeri Kepong, Malaysia. This is evidenced by the change in the number of students who completed the learning, with an increase from the pretest (38.33) to the posttest (81.67). The normality test showed that the data were normally distributed (p> 0.05; pretest sig. value = 0.421; posttest sig. value = 0.212). The paired-samples T-test showed a significant result (p=0.000 <). Thus, the use of ethnomathematics media in the form of hopscotch games is effective in improving the ability to solve problems involving flat shapes and in making learning more active, fun, and meaningful.
