Description
Summary:Ethnomathematics examines mathematical aspects in a particular culture of a community or region. Ethnomathematics studies are still very potential to be carried out for Indonesian culture that is very rich and diverse. The results of this ethnomathematics study, in addition to increasing knowledge in mathematics and mathematics education, can also be utilized in mathematics learning, especially in the provision of contextual problems. To accelerate and enrich the ethnomathematics study in this broad Indonesian culture, it is necessary to involve many people in all regions of Indonesia. In this study, a virtual class was designed and developed by utilizing the Moodle Learning Management System to facilitate and empower students, teachers, lecturers and observers of mathematics education in conducting ethnomathematics studies. This study aims to design and develop virtual classrooms using Moodle that can facilitate people who will conduct ethnomathematics studies in Indonesia, and analyze the feasibility of the aforementioned virtual classes developed. The present study employs design research, which includes the context analysis phase, literature review, design and development of virtual classes, focus group discussions, limited trials, broad implementation, and implementation analysis. The results discussed in this article include the stage of context analysis, literature review, design and development of virtual classes and focus group discussions.
