Abstract

This study was conducted in response to the limited number of studies examining the integration of local wisdom in geometry learning at the elementary school level, despite its potential to enhance conceptual understanding and cultural preservation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the integration of local wisdom in teaching geometric shapes through a contextual learning model in elementary schools. This research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were collected from relevant national and international literature and analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify patterns, concepts, and effective instructional strategies. The findings indicate that elements of local culture, such as traditional buildings, fabric motifs, traditional games, arts, and community traditions, contain various geometric concepts that can be utilized as contextual learning resources. The application of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) integrated with local wisdom has been shown to improve students’ motivation, conceptual understanding, and engagement by connecting abstract geometric concepts with students’ real-life experiences. Furthermore, this approach contributes to strengthening students’ cultural awareness and appreciation. The study concludes that integrating local wisdom into geometry learning through a contextual model enhances instructional effectiveness while supporting the development of ethnomathematics-based learning and cultural preservation in elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the utilization of local cultural contexts in realistic mathematics learning to enhance the relevance and learning interest of elementary school students. The background of this research is the low level of students’ engagement and the lack of contextual relevance in mathematics learning, which often causes students to perceive mathematics as abstract and disconnected from their daily lives. This study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method by analyzing various relevant sources, including national and international journal articles, books, and research reports published within the last ten years. The results of the analysis indicate that the integration of local cultural elements in realistic mathematics learning can make learning more meaningful, contextual, and engaging for students. Cultural contexts help students understand mathematical concepts through real-life experiences that are familiar to them, thereby increasing motivation and interest in learning. In addition, realistic mathematics learning based on local culture supports the development of students’ critical thinking skills and strengthens their appreciation of local values. Therefore, the application of local culture-based realistic mathematics learning is considered an effective strategy to improve the relevance and learning interest of elementary school students.

Abstract

The twenty-first century is characterized by rapid developments in science, technology, and information, which require students to possess higher-order thinking skills. One essential skill that needs to be developed from the elementary school level is mathematical thinking ability. This ability is not limited to mastering mathematical concepts and procedures, but also includes logical, critical, and systematic reasoning, as well as problem-solving skills in real-life contexts. This article aims to examine the development of elementary school students’ mathematical thinking skills in response to the challenges of twenty-first-century education. The study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method by analyzing relevant academic sources, including journals, books, and research articles. The findings indicate that the development of mathematical thinking skills can be effectively enhanced through twenty-first-century learning approaches that are student-centered, problem-based, project-based, contextual, and supported by the integration of technology. In addition, the role of teachers and a supportive school environment is crucial in fostering students’ reflective and creative thinking habits. Strengthening mathematical thinking skills from an early age is expected to equip students to become adaptive, solution-oriented, and well-prepared to face future life challenges.
