Abstract

In the rapidly advancing digital era, mathematics education must integrate various technological applications to support students' development for the 21st century. However, mere technological integration is insufficient; learning must also involve hands-on activities and real-life experiences to equip students with essential skills. Although many current math lessons incorporate technology, they often overlook students' real-life experiences. Hence, there is a need for mathematics learning approaches that combine technology with student activities and relate them to real-life contexts. Ethno-Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME) is an innovative approach that uses real contexts as a starting point for learning. This approach can be enhanced by the MathCityMap (MCM) application, making learning more interactive and engaging for students. Therefore, this study explores the potential of MCM by integrating content from the Ethno-RME approach. MCM is an emerging technology that facilitates the exploration of outdoor mathematics, providing students with contextual and real-life problems. The authors developed mathematical tasks based on a café or resort in a district in Central Java. Through Educational Design Research (EDR), mathematical tasks were created using artifacts available in the café and incorporated into the MCM application. Students could access the tasks from their mobile devices and track their locations (math trails). The study focused on the system of linear equations derived from geometrical objects found in the café. The results indicated positive impacts, such as improved students' conceptual understanding and mathematics performance. This study provides evidence of the effectiveness of integrating Ethno-RME with digital technology to support students' learning of mathematics. Further research is needed to explore more ethnomathematics activities integrated into MCM that are suitable for students' backgrounds and locations.

Abstract

An effective learning model that actively involves students in the learning process is essential. This development research aims to identify the factors responsible for the observed low problem-solving ability in geometry and to develop a model that effectively enhances these skills. The research process begins with the creation of flow diagrams using the ADDIE model, encompassing the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases. The study focuses on junior high school students. The research findings, which consider the unique cultural characteristics of the Bima people, suggest that the Discovery-Project-Evaluation (DPjE) learning model, incorporating STEM elements, can be an effective alternative or complement to traditional teaching methods. Six experts confirmed that the geometric problem-solving skills test instrument outperformed other learning tools. Data from limited trials indicate that using lesson plans and worksheets, along with positive feedback from educators and students, supports the effectiveness of the developed learning materials. This demonstrates the practical application of the DPjE model, with STEM elements based on Bima Local Cultural Character (BLCC), in teaching mathematics. The BLCC-based DPjE-STEM model assesses the learning process's efficiency using data from initial and final tests.
