Creative thinking skill is one of the important competencies in mathematics that must be possessed by students as a provision for life in the future. But in reality, it is not easy for a teacher to explain for students in primary schools. Through linking the existing cultures around students, Madura batik, it is hoped that it can help students to more easily present abstract mathematical concepts to be more concrete and improve their creative thinking skills. The research method used to adapt the Borg and Gall Development Model includes 10 stages: problem identification, information gathering/preliminary studies, prototype design, expert validation, prototype revision, prototype testing, prototype revision, product use trial, product revision, and dissemination of products. A preliminary study was carried out to explore batik motives in Madurese batik centers. The results of the initial study were appointed as an ethnomathematic study which would be presented in the form of an electronic mathematics module and tested on primary school aged students in Madura Island. The research subjects chosen for the trial were students in grades IV, V, and VI. The results showed that the electronic mathematics module based on the ethnomatematics of Madura batik was feasible to be used to improve the creative thinking skills of primary school students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
