Analysis of mathematics teacher's comprehension on ethnomathematics in the context of the Kutai tribe in terms of ethnicity and gender.

Mathematical literacy is still an interesting issue discussed in mathematics education in Indonesia. Learning through an ethnomathematical approach can answer the challenges of mathematical literacy in the context of the local culture. Kutai Kartanegara Regency, which is the majority of the Kutai tribe, can be investigated how the mathematical literacy ability of the math teacher through the activity of designing mathematical literacy questions in order to develop ethnomathematical-based learning. The population in this study were literacy scores and designing scores from junior high school mathematics teachers in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The sample of this research were literacy scores and designing scores from 28 teachers who are research subjects. This study aims to obtain the models that describes the teacher's assessment score both literacy and designing scores when viewed from the ethnic and gender variables. The data analysis used were analysis of variance (anova) models for each assessment score. Each assessment score data was fitted into anova models such as 1-way anova, 2-way anova without interaction, and 2-way anova with interaction. The best anova model was selected based on the smallest AICc. Based on the results of the research that the best model for literacy score data was 1-way anova model when gender as the independent variable. AICc value for this model was 205.40 with a weight of 80%. The female teachers have higher literacy scores than the male teachers. Meanwhile, the best anova model for designing score data was 2-way anova with interaction where the AICc value and AICc weight were 200.04 and 52%, respectively. Designing scores were influenced by ethnic variables and their combinations with gender. Teachers with the Kutai ethnicity have higher scores than teachers of other ethnicities. The combination of ethnicity and gender variables influences the designing score more. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
