SEMIOTICS PROGRESS IN TRADITIONAL-GAME-BASED NUMBER LEARNING FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Abstract: This study was aimed
at describing the students’ semiotic progress on learning number by using
traditional games of Bermain Satu Rumah (BSR) supported by a set of learning
activities based on Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education. The study was
designed into three stages, that is, the preliminary design, the teaching
experiment, and the retrospective analysis. Then, Hypothetical Learning
Trajectory (HLT) was modified as the reference of this study as well as the
research instrument. HLT was tested to 24 third graders. The data were
collected by applying the interview technique, observation, and field notes.
The findings of the study showed that this instructional design could motivate
students to join learning activities and could stimulate them to conserve the
context, to understand the symbol meaning and use it, and to communicate
starting from the informal to the formal levels. The progress was on the
ability of students to abstract by holding and using symbols as a part of plan
to solve the problem.
