Abstract

This research aims to analyze ethnomathematics in a mosque named Gedhe Kauman in Yogyakarta. The ethnomathematics studied is related to the mathematical concepts of area and perimeter of two dimensional shapes. This research is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The data source in this research is the result of direct observation and documentation by the researcher. Data collection techniques were carried out by observing and documenting mosque buildings. Testing the validity of the data was carried out using technical triangulation. The subject of this research is the historic building of the Gedhe Kauman Mosque. Based on the research results, it was found that the Mosque building is quite closely related to ethnomathematics learning resource. This is proven by the presence of geometric elements in the structure and contents of the building that have easyly reognized patterns. The geometric shapes found are squares, rectangles, circles, triangles and trapezoids. These plane shapes can be integrated into the mathematical concepts of perimeter and area for learning elementary mathematics. This instructional approach might evoke student's disposition towards mathematics.

This type of research is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The subject of this research is the traditional clothes and accessories of the Dayak Kenyah tribe, while the object of this study is the geometric transformation concept of the Dayak Kenyah in traditional clothes motifs. Data was collected through observation, interview, and documentation in traditional clothes of the Dayak Kenyah tribe. Based on the exploration results, it was found thirteen traditional clothes and accessories for the Dayak Kenyah traditional clothes (Bluko, Besunung, Tabit, Kelempit, Baheng, Sapai, Ta'a, Tapung, Sabau, Uleng, Seleng, Kirip, and Anting) which are examples of the application geometric transformation concepts. The results of the research show that the motifs found in the traditional clothing of the Dayak Kenyah tribe can be a concrete example of the concept of geometric transformation. The geometric transformation concepts found include (1) Translation in Tabit, Kelempit, Ta'a, and Sabau; (2) Reflections in Bluko, Tabit, Kelempit, Sapai, Ta'a, Tapung, Sabau, Uleng, Seleng and Earrings; (3) Rotation of the Tabit; (4) No dilatation was found in the traditional clothes motifs of the Dayak Kenyah tribe. Apart from that, in Besunung, Baheng, and Kirip, there is no concept of geometric transformation. The example represented in the traditional clothes of the Dayak Kenyah tribe can then become an alternative recommendation for learning media so that students can better interpret geometric transformation material contextually.

Abstract

Many students have difficulty in learning math. One of the things that can be done is to link math learning with certain cultures, for example traditional houses in Java. By aligning mathematical materials to the local cultural context, students feel the relevance and practicality of mathematical concepts in everyday life. This not only makes learning more interesting, but also allows students to connect math concepts with their environment and cultural heritage. In addition, this approach can also strengthen students' sense of identity with their cultural heritage, create an inclusive learning environment, and help students develop a more comprehensive understanding of mathematics. The purpose of this study was to analyze the literature related to ethnomathematics in Javanese traditional houses, using the systematic literature review research method. Data collection of articles related to ethnomathematics of traditional houses between 2019 and 2023 from Google Scholar is an important step in supporting the research. Based on the research results, it was found that ethnomathematics integrated in each element of Javanese traditional houses can significantly improve students' skills in the mathematics learning process.
