Abstract

This study examines ethnomathematical concepts embodied in Scout marching drills and analyzes their relevance to Deep Learning and Islamic educational values. A qualitative descriptive design with an exploratory ethnographic orientation was implemented at UPT SMP Negeri 2 Gadingrejo. Data were collected through observation of movements, visual documentation, a semi-structured interview with one Scout leader, and a literature review. The data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, with source and method triangulation used to enhance trustworthiness. The findings indicate that the attention stance models a vertical line; right-dress alignment models a horizontal line; the salute approximates an acute angle; right and left turns represent a quarter-turn rotation or a 90° angle; and row-and-column arrangements approximate a rectangle. These representations can be developed into classroom activities involving coordinates, angle measurement, distance, slope, rotation, perimeter, area, and model validation. The activities support meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning while embodying order, responsibility, cooperation, and solidarity. The study contributes a novel perspective by extending Scout ethnomathematics from static pioneering artefacts to dynamic bodily movements and by integrating geometry, Deep Learning, and Islamic values.
