ABSTRACT
Problem solving skills for primary school students are very important. Because problem solving ability is an understanding of how to solve problems in everyday life. One of the learning models that can improve problem solving skills is the Problem Based Learning model. Ethnomathematics is a learning approach that is carried out by teaching mathematics by linking mathematics to a person's cultural work. This research aims to develop a digital module with ethnomathematics nuances with a problem-based learning model to improve elementary school students' problem-solving abilities. This research uses a research and development (R&D) design with the ADDIE model. The subjects in this research were 33 class V students at SDN Pudak Payung 02. Data collection techniques in this research were observation, interviews, questionnaires and tests. The data analysis techniques for this research include analysis of media validation results, analysis of media practicality data, analysis of classical completeness, and analysis of student test results. The results of this research include: 1) A digital module with ethnomathematics nuances with a problem based learning model; 2) The digital module with an ethnomathematics nuance with a problem based learning model is very valid with an overall average score of the media validation test of 0.87 and the digital module developed is of very practical quality with an overall average score of the media practicality test of 93%; 3) The classical completeness value of testing the potential effects of digital media with an ethnomathematics nuance using the problem based learning model obtained high effectiveness results with a percentage of 88%; 4) The digital module with an ethnomathematics nuance with a problem based learning model was declared effective with the difference between the pretest and posttest scores, as well as the results of the n-gain test with an average of 0.55 classified as medium. The conclusion of this research is that digital modules with ethnomathematics nuances with problem-based learning models are effectively used to improve elementary school students' problem-solving abilities.
Keywords: digital module, ethnomathematics, problem-based learning and problem-solving abilities.
