Analysis Mathematical Communication Skills Based on Java Culture through Blended Learning

Abstract

Covid 19 is a national disaster that affects various sectors, including the education sector. Changes occur in the learning system that is done so that it has an impact on the low mathematical communication skills of students. Blended learning model uses two stages of learning, namely learning outside the classroom and learning in the classroom. Blended learning model integrated with other learning models and approaches can support the implementation of mathematics learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Blended learning was integrated with an ethnomathematics approach in the Java cultural. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The research was conducted at Baitul Qur'an JUNIOR IT. The study subject was a class VII student. The data collection technique employs observation, interviews, documentation, and test. The results of this study showed that learning on flat wake materials connected with Java culture and presented in the blended learning model contributed very well in improving students' mathematical communication skills which can be seen from the percentage of 58,33 %.
