Ethnomathematics in Heritage: Exploration from Sonobudoyo Museum Yogyakarta

Ridwan Catur Nugraha, Hafizh Naufal Azmi, Rahmatullah Surya Hidayat

Abstract


Yogyakarta is known as a cultural city with rich traditions and local values. Integrating local culture into mathematics education can make the material more relevant and engaging for students. However, educators in Yogyakarta have yet to widely recognize this culture as a context that can be used in teaching mathematics. One museum that houses much of this culture is the Sonobudoyo Museum. Thus, this study aims to explore the ethnomathematics in the Sonobudoyo Museum, which can be used as a starting point in mathematics education. This research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The instrument in this research is the human instrument, where the researcher directly engages with the study and acts as the data collector through library research, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, data analysis, and data exposition. The results of this study indicate that the mathematical concepts found in the Sonobudoyo Museum include geometry, sets, relations, and functions. These mathematical concepts can be utilized to introduce and understand mathematics through local culture.
