Abstract
Numeracy literacy is an essential competency that needs to be developed from the elementary school level; however, mathematics learning practices still tend to be abstract and insufficiently connected to students’ real-life contexts. This condition has resulted in students’ low ability to understand and solve contextual numeracy problems. This study aims to develop a doodle art comic based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) as a contextual learning medium to support numeracy literacy among elementary school students. The study employed a research and development method using the ADDIE model, which consists of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects comprised 28 fourth-grade elementary school students, two classroom teacher, and two expert validators, namely a mathematics education expert and a learning media expert. The research instruments included expert validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, numeracy literacy tests, as well as observation and interview guides. The results indicate that the RME-based doodle art comic achieved a high level of feasibility based on expert evaluations and was considered practical and easy to use in classroom learning. Student responses showed increased engagement and interest in numeracy learning. Furthermore, test results and qualitative data revealed improvements in students’ ability to understand problem contexts, connect numerical information, and communicate mathematical reasoning. The study concludes that the RME-based doodle art comic has strong potential as an innovative, contextual, and meaningful learning medium for strengthening numeracy literacy among elementary school studentsReferences
