Computer games are one of powerful mathematics learning tools that can enhance students’ motivation and has a vast majority of learning materials.
There are many research papers that study the utilization of modern computer games to support learning. However, none of those games are related to traditional games.
Indonesian folk games are prone to be forgotten due to the limitedness of resources about Indonesian folk games.
Addressing this issue, Eka Puspita Sari’s research will investigate the development of mathematics learning media, based on the folk games of Indonesia for Elementary school level.
Her study aims to provide a learning media whose function enhances motivational and learning outcomes, adds educational literature that suits the latest Indonesian curriculum and introduces one of Indonesia’s cultural aspect to students.
Her study will be implemented in one of Elementary School in Batam city. The participants of this study are students from grade one to six.
The study uses research and development method. The study has started by analysing mathematics learning media of an elementary school in Indonesia and developing a new learning media, based on the traditional games of Indonesia.
Therefore, the computer learning media as the product of this research will be used as a supplement material in teaching mathematics in Indonesia following expert analysis and students trial.
