The method used in this research is an experiment with a treatment by level analysis model. The type of test used is Anova Two-Way. Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that the group taught using ICT-based learning media obtained a higher effectiveness of learning pro-cess than the group taught using conventional learning media. and groups that have a high level of discipline get a higher effectiveness of the learning process than groups with low levels of dis-cipline. and it is also evident that there is an influence of the interaction between the use of ICT-based learning media and the level of discipline on the effectiveness of learning process
An ethnography study on mathematical terminologies within two indigenous Makian languages in North Maluku
Get PDFThe two indigenous Makian languages, Western Makian (Makian Luar) and Eastern Makian (Makian Dalam/Taba), stem from two different language families in North Maluku. The indigenous Makian people are typically ignorant of the riches of values and knowledge reserved in their language and culture, including mathematical content. Therefore, through an ethnography approach, this study identifies mathematical terminologies (natural numbers, fractions, number operations, indefinite quantifiers and adverbs of time) that exist in indigenous Makian languages. Data Collecting was conducted through in-depth interviews with indigenous community leaders and some primary literature reviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The mathematical language that has been identified along with the context of its use can be a good entry point and a mean-ingful material in integrating indigenous languages and cultures in mathematics learning
