Abstract

Curriculum renewal requires teachers to always innovate in learning. The
teacher can combine various ways as long as it suits the needs and characteristics of learning.
The trivium curriculum in ethnomathematics contains the concepts of literacy, matheracy,
and technoracy which can be combined with thematic and connected approaches.
Ethnomathematics can be used in learning because it contains contextual mathematical
concepts that exist in culture. The thematic approach can make students learn several subjects
at once in the appropriate theme. Connectedness can make students learn several concepts at
once in a subject. The combination can make students learn many things at one time in an
integrated and meaningful way because it is based on the culture they know.
Objectives: This research is aimed at developing a learning model that combines the trivium
curriculum in ethnomathematics, thematic approaches, and connectedness in mathematics. In
addition, research was also conducted to determine the quality of the developed model.
Methods: The development is carried out using the Plomp model which is limited to four
phases (without implementation). The respondents consisted of 15 elementary school lower
grade teachers as resource persons for problem identification, two lecturers and two
elementary school principals as expert evaluators and practitioners, one teacher and ten 3
rd
grade students at an elementary school in Banyuwangi as pilot respondents. Data collection
was done by interviews, observation, tests, and questionnaires. Data analysis is a combination
of quantitative and qualitative methods.
Results: The results of the initial investigation show that learning, especially in the lower
grades of elementary school, still requires strengthening basic literacy, combines with play
activities, learning media, and mother tongue assistance to understand students’ learning
concepts. The support of several education experts is used to strengthen the results of the
investigation so that a learning model can be designed that includes syntax, social systems,
reaction principles, support systems, and the impact of learning. Development is carried out
based on a design made to produce a learning model along with learning tools. Learning tools
are developed by the existing culture in the development area, namely Banyuwangi
Indonesia. After the development results are declared valid, practical, and effective by
