ABSTRACT
Media is a tool that helps teachers convey messages to students. In this case the message is in the form of material studied. The material presented should be related to students' real lives. One of the things related to student life is culture. Learning mathematics with cultural nuances is called ethnomathematics. Numeracy is a mathematical ability which can be interpreted as a process of translation and solving everyday problems. So ethnomathematics is related to numeracy. In other words, Android media with ethnomathematics nuances can be used as support in carrying out mathematics learning which can improve students' numeracy. This research aims to determine the validity and practicality of the media being developed. This type of research is research and development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model (analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation). The subjects used in this research were teachers and students of class V at SD Negeri Tonjong 01 Brebes, totaling 64 students. Data collection techniques in this research are questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics.
The research results show that, (1) the assessment results from the three media validators obtained an average score, including material experts of 3.33, media experts of 3.9 and language experts of 3.69 on very appropriate criteria., (2) The practicality of Android media with ethnomathematics nuances based on teacher responses got an average score of 3.78 on very practical criteria, (3) the practicality of Android media with ethnomathematics nuances based on students' responses got a percentage of 100% on very practical criteria. Based on the data analysis carried out, it can be concluded that Android media with an ethnomathematics nuance in the problem-based learning (PBL) model has proven to be feasible and practical for increasing student numeracy.
