Validated Practical Bugis Ethnomathematics Cards for Plane Figure Learning

Resumo

General Background Mathematics learning in elementary education requires concrete, contextual, and meaningful media to support students’ understanding of abstract concepts. Specific Background This study developed Bugis culture-based ethnomathematics card media for grade III students in plane-figure learning, using the ADDIE stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Knowledge Gap Classroom observations and student needs analysis indicated that mathematics learning remained teacher-centered, relied mainly on textbooks, lacked varied media, and was insufficiently connected to local culture and daily experience. Aims The study aimed to produce ethnomathematics card media based on Bugis culture and determine its validity, practicality, and outcomes for students’ mathematics learning. Results The developed media achieved a Gregory validity score of 1.00, teacher response of 100%, and student response of 98.77%, indicating very valid and very practical categories. Learning outcomes rose from an average pretest score of 64 to a posttest score of 90. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores with Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.001 < 0.05, while the N-Gain score reached 85.74%, categorized as high. Novelty The study offers Bugis culture-based ethnomathematics cards that connect plane-figure concepts with local cultural representations in elementary mathematics learning. Implications The media is suitable for supporting contextual, interactive, and meaningful mathematics learning while contributing to local culture-based education and cultural preservation. Highlights• Expert assessment produced a Gregory validity score of 1.00.• Teacher and student responses reached 100% and 98.77%.• Average scores moved from 64 to 90 with 85.74% N-Gain.
