- Abstract
Understanding the concept of space geometry is highly important but challenging for elementary school students. An appropriate learning model is necessary to understand space geometry. One learning model that can bring students into a concrete world is ethnomathematics-based learning. This study aims to investigate students’ understanding of space geometry concepts through an ethnomathematics-based learning model. This study constitutes research and development (R&D), which aims to design an ethnomathematics-based learning model to help students understand the space geometry concept as an attempt to implement an independent learning curriculum at elementary schools. The samples were 60 elementary school students chosen randomly. Data were collected through a test of the space geometry concept. The results showed that the majority of students have a good understanding of space geometry through ethnomathematics-based learning. The students’ understanding was categorized as high (62.8%), medium (33.2%) and low (4%).
