Exploring Ethnomathematics in Parang Barong Naga Raja Batik at Sonobudoyo Museum
Abstract
The current issue in education is the lack of learning related to culture, especially local culture. This results in students' limited understanding of the culture in their own region. Additionally, there is still little mathematics education that is linked to culture. Therefore, this study aims to explore ethnomathematics in batik, focusing on the geometric concepts involved, such as symmetry, patterns, and transformations in Batik Parang Borang, as well as the cultural values in batik. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method; data were collected through observation, literature review, and interviews with cultural experts and batik artists. The findings show that Batik Parang Borang Naga Raja contains geometric concepts, such as symmetry, patterns, and transformations. This study reflects local wisdom values. These values are not only understood but also contemplated and applied in daily life, enriching the understanding of mathematics and introducing cultural dimensions into mathematics education in schools. This study also emphasizes the importance of preserving batik as part of cultural heritage and its contribution to enriching cultural understanding and the application of mathematics in daily life.
