Ethnomathematical Analysis of Wapauwe Kaitetu Old Mosque Building: Between Myth and Science Sopamena, Patma Sangkala, Nani Sukartini Kaliky, Syafrudin Juhaevah, Fahruh Rumakabis, Muhammad Sidiq This study aims to explore public perception of the existence of the Wapauwe Kaitetu mosque which involves mathematical concepts in building construction. Therefore, this research method is qualitative with a descriptive-exploratory approach. This research was carried out in Kaitetu village, Central Maluku with two subjects, namely community leaders and mosque guards who knew the existence of the Wapauwe Kaitetu mosque. The instruments used are interview guidelines and observation sheets. The mathematical objects in the Wapauwe Kaitetu mosque are: quadrilateral (square and trapezium); elliptical; triangle; circle; spaces (cubes, trapezoidal prisms, pyramids and tubes); compass; and deep congruences. Furthermore, myth (using telepathy as a means of communication with other dimensional societies) and science (building construction using good quality wooden frames and close connecting wood distances resulting in mosque buildings becoming sturdy and strong). Furthermore, it is suggested that further researchers can examine the ethnomathematical implementation of the Wapauwe Kaitetu mosque in the mathematics learning process. Keywords: ethnomathematics, mosque construction, Wapauwe Kaitetu mosque, myth and science.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v24i2.pp467-480 FKIP Universitas Lampung 2023-06-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://jpmipa.fkip.unila.ac.id/index.php/jpmipa/article/view/320 Jurnal Pendidikan MIPA; Vol 24, No 2 (2023): Jurnal Pendidikan MIPA; 467-480 2685-5488 1411-2531 eng https://jpmipa.fkip.unila.ac.id/index.php/jpmipa/article/view/320/484 Copyright (c) 2023 Patma Sopamena, Nani Sukartini Sangkala, Syafrudin Kaliky, Fahruh Juhaevah, Muhammad Sidiq Rumakabis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
