Abstract

Traditional architecture often reflects the cultural values, local wisdom, and mathematical thinking of a community. In Meranti Island, traditional Malay houses contain rich geometric elements that have yet to be fully explored in the context of mathematics education. This research aims to investigate the traditional Malay house and architectural designs in Meranti Island a culturally relevant resource for teaching geometry in elementary schools. This study lies in integrating ethnomathematics into the elementary geometry curriculum by utilizing local architectural heritage, which has received limited academic attention. An ethnographic approach was employed to gain a deep understanding of the cultural and mathematical aspects embedded in the traditional architecture. This method was chosen as it allows researchers to capture the contextual meaning and lived experiences of the community through interviews, observations, documentation, and field notes. The findings reveal that traditional Malay houses in Meranti Island incorporate a variety of geometric concepts. Flat shapes identified include squares, rectangles, triangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, and trapezoids, while solid shapes include cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and triangular prisms. These findings demonstrate that traditional architectural elements can serve as meaningful and contextual learning materials for geometry instruction. The practical implication of this study is the development of culturally responsive teaching strategies that connect students' local environments with mathematical concepts. This approach not only enhances students’ understanding of geometry but also fosters appreciation for local culture and identity through mathematics learning.

Abstract

Character-based leadership is the primary foundation for building a positive, ethical, and competitive school culture. Principals serve as role models who instill the values ​​of integrity, responsibility, and empathy in all aspects of education. This study aims to describe the role of character-based leadership in shaping a positive school culture and identify effective implementation strategies in the educational environment. The research method used was a case study at SDN 188 PEKANBARU. The results indicate that character-based leadership can create a harmonious school climate, increase teacher and student motivation, and strengthen cooperation among all school members. Furthermore, principals with strong character can be drivers of change toward inclusive, adaptive schools oriented toward the development of Pancasila student profiles. Thus, character-based leadership can be a strategic foundation for realizing a sustainable, positive school culture.
