Ethnomathematic Exploration At Agung Jami’ Malang Mosque In Improving Students' Mathematic Problem Solving Ability

Abstract

<p><em>Ethnomathematics has developed and made a major contribution to learning mathematics. One of them is in improving students' mathematical problem solving abilities. The purpose of this study is to explore the ethnomathematics contained in the Agung Jami' Malang Mosque as a means of student learning in improving problem solving skills. The research methods used are ethnography and quantitative. The research instrument is the human instrument, the researcher is directly related to the research, as well as collecting research data through observation, literature, documentation, and tests. In addition, researchers analyzed quantitative data that had been obtained from the results of trials on elementary school students. From the research that has been done, it is found that the ethnomathematics contained in the Agung Jami' Malang Mosque is in the form of geometric shapes, including rectangles, tubes, semi-circles and other geometric shapes. From the results of the trials that have been carried out, it was found that the problem-solving ability of students increased when working on problem-solving problems with the help of ethnomathematics found at the Agung Jami' Malang Mosque.</em></p>

A culture-based development of mathematics learning: A case on the Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque of Surabaya

“…The math elements contained in the architecture and ornamental of this mosque are: (1) the concept of plane geometry includes a square, rectangle, circle, trapezoid, and triangle; (2) the concept of solid geometry includes tubes, octagonal prism, and octagonal pyramid; and (3) the concept of transformational geometry includes reflection, translation, dilation, rotation, and tessellation. The concept of plane geometry is also found in the Great Mosque of Demak (Radiusman et al, 2021), the Great Mosque of Pondok Tinggi (Patri & Heswari, 2021), the Great Jami' Mosque of Malang (Asnawi et al, 2022), Soko Tunggal Mosque in Yogyakarta (Putra et al, 2020), the Old Mosque of Tosora (Kastolani, 2021), the Jami' Mosque of Jingah River (Fajriah & Suryaningsih, 2021), the Raudhatus Sa'adah Mosque in Bengkulu (Friansah & Yanto, 2020), and the Great Mosque of Cimahi (Purniati et al, 2020). The concept of solid geometry is also found in the Great Mosque of Demak (Radiusman et al, 2021), the Great Mosque of Pondok Tinggi (Patri & Heswari, 2021), the Great Jami' Mosque of Malang (Asnawi et al, 2022), the Old Mosque of Tosora (Kastolani, 2021), and the Great Mosque of Cimahi (Purniati et al, 2020).…”

“…Many researchers have conducted studies on mathematical elements in mosques, such as ethnomathematical research at the Great Mosque of Demak (Radiusman et al, 2021), the Great Mosque of Pondok Tinggi in Sungai Penuh City (Patri & Heswari, 2021), the Great Jami' Mosque of Malang (Asnawi et al, 2022), Soko Tunggal Mosque in Yogyakarta (Putra et al, 2020), the Old Mosque of Tosora (Kastolani, 2021), the Great Mosque of Bandung (Purniati et al, 2021), the Great Mosque of Kediri (Susanti et al, 2022), the Jami' Mosque of Jingah River (Fajriah & Suryaningsih, 2021), the Raudhatus Sa'adah Mosque in Bengkulu (Friansah & Yanto, 2020), Al-Khalid Mosque of Kediri (Ilmiyah, Rofiqoh, et al, 2020), and the Great Mosque of Cimahi (Purniati et al, 2020). We can find mathematical concepts in these mosques' architecture and ornaments like the concept of plane geometry, solid geometry, transformational geometry, graph theory, and others.…”

Web-based realistic mathematics learning environment for 21st-century skills in primary school students

“…This research uses the six cultural contexts of Sumatera Island collected from the South Sumatera State Museum Balaputera Dewa in South Sumatera Province (Lisnani et al, 2020b), Muaro Jambi Temple in Jambi Province (Hardiarti, 2017), Tabut Ritual Ceremony in Bengkulu Province (Mahyudi & Yanti, 2020), Tapis Cloth from Lampung Province (Lisnani et al, 2022;Susiana et al, 2020;Maskar & Anderha, 2019), Tak Tek/ Patek Lele Game in Bangka Belitung Province (Gunawan & Suwarsono, 2019), and Cekak Musang Dress in the Riau Archipelago (Hasanuddin, 2017). The six cultures for learning mathematics are integrated in PMRI.…”
