Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of outdoor mathematics instruction as an alternative to the conventional classroom-based approach, specifically focusing on grade 7 measurement concepts. Students’ perception on outdoor activities in mathematics was also measured. A two-group quasi-experimental design was utilized, involving two selected classes from a public high school in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. One class engaged in outdoor mathematics activities, while the other used the conventional lecture approach. The study utilized a 40-item researcher-made test, a perception checklist, and outdoor mathematics activities, which were presented to a panel of experts for validation and underwent reliability testing. Statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, and t-test were used to analyze the performance of the two groups. Results indicated that students exposed to outdoor mathematics activities showed significant improvement in understanding and applying basic measurement concepts compared to their peers in conventional settings. Similarly, the students reported positive perceptions of outdoor activities. This study highlighted the potential benefits of incorporating outdoor mathematics instruction into school curricula as an innovative teaching strategy to enhance students’ learning and engagement.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology with a cultural approach has become an important innovation in mathematics education to enhance meaningful learning. However, there is still limited research combining Augmented Reality (AR) with ethnomathematics to strengthen students' mathematical communication skills. This study aims to analyze the impact of Augmented Reality and ethnomathematics-based learning on students' mathematical communication skills. The study employed an experimental design involving 60 seventh-grade students selected randomly from eight classes at SMP Negeri 6 Langke Rembong, Ruteng, Indonesia, during the 2024/2025 academic year. The research instrument consisted of a five-item mathematical communication test, which was validated through expert judgment and empirical testing, and demonstrated satisfactory reliability based on internal consistency analysis. SPSS and CMA software were used to support data analysis. A t-test was conducted to examine differences in mathematical communication ability between the experimental and control groups after fulfilling prerequisite assumptions. The findings indicate that the integration of AR and ethnomathematics significantly improved students’ ability to express mathematical ideas clearly, both orally and in written form. Additionally, students showed higher levels of cultural engagement and appreciation, which positively contributed to the development of their communication skills. This study recommends the integration of AR and ethnomathematics as a sustainable innovation in mathematics learning and suggests further research to explore its application across diverse mathematical topics and broader educational contexts.
