Abstract

This study aims to determine the ethnomathematics form of Islamic cultural artifacts and determine the feasibility of e-modules as an initial design in online trials in junior high school mathematics learning. This type of research is the 4D development model with stages 1) definition, 2) design, 3) development, and 4) Disseminate. The subjects in this study were junior high school students. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets, assessment by student questionnaire experts, and evaluation tests. The data analysis technique used is a mixed analysis. The results obtained are ethnomathematics forms that emerge from Islamic cultural artifacts, which are forms and visualizations in the form of Bedug, Calligraphy, and Rebana, which can be used as a learning resource by the students mathematics learning experience. Then these artifacts, after being integrated into e-module development, have a very positive potential, seen in the feasibility test by fulfilling the valid criteria with a score of 3.63, practical criteria with a score of 3.17, and the effectiveness test with a completeness score of 91%. Thus it can be concluded that the ethnomathematics based e module has a very potential influence as a constructive learning resource for mathematics.
