DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNOMATHEMATICS-FILLED PICTURE STORYBOOKS AS A MEDIUM FOR LEARNING MATHEMATICS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Abstract
This study resulted in a product in the form of a picture storybook infused with ethnomathematics as a learning medium for mathematics, specifically on the topic of three-dimensional shapes in fifth-grade elementary school. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of ethnomathematics within the picture storybook, which not only introduces mathematical concepts but also familiarizes students with local cultural richness relevant to mathematics learning in elementary school. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method combined with the ADDIE development model. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and questionnaires administered to teachers and students. The collected data comprised both qualitative and quantitative data. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistical analysis for quantitative data. The validity test results indicated that the material validation achieved a percentage of 80%, categorized as "valid"; design and layout validation reached 98.67%, categorized as "highly valid"; language validation scored 88.75%, categorized as "highly valid"; and ethnomathematics validation attained 96%, also categorized as "highly valid." The practicality test results demonstrated that the developed product was highly practical, with teacher evaluations scoring 90.67% and student evaluations scoring 91.24% in the first cycle. In the second cycle, teacher evaluations reached 93.33%, and student evaluations reached 92%, both categorized as "highly practical." These findings indicate that the ethnomathematics-based picture storybook meets the criteria of validity and practicality, making it suitable for use in elementary mathematics learning.
Penelitian ini menghasilkan sebuah produk berupa buku cerita bergambar bermuatan etnomatematika sebagai media pembelajaran matematika pada materi sifat – sifat bangun ruang di kelas V Sekolah Dasar. Temuan kebaruan dalam penelitian ini adalah integrasi etnomatematika dalam buku cerita bergambar yang tidak hanya memperkenalkan konsep matematika, tetapi juga memperkenalkan kekayaan budaya lokal yang relevan dengan pembelajaran matematika di SD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development yang dipasangkan dengan model pengembangan ADDIE. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan meliputi wawancara, observasi, dan angket yang diberikan kepada guru dan siswa. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif untuk data kualitatif dan analisis statistik deskriptif untuk data kuantitatif. Hasil uji kevalidan produk menunjukkan pada validasi materi mendapatkan persentase sebesar 80% tergolong “valid”; validasi desain dan layout sebesar 98,67% tergolong “sangat valid”; validasi kebahasaan sebesar 88,75% tergolong “sangat valid”; dan validasi etnomatematika sebesar 96% tergeolong “sangat valid”. Hasil uji kepraktisan produk yang dikembangkan sangat praktis dengan penilaian dari guru sebesar 90,67% dan oleh siswa sebesar 91,24% pada siklus pertama; sementara pada siklus kedua, penilaian dari guru sebesar 93,33% dan oleh siswa sebesar 92% tegolong “sangat parktis”. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa buku cerita bergambar bermuatan etnomatematika yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria valid dan praktis serta layak digunakan.
