Optimization of Ethnomathematics-Based Realistic Mathematics Learning through Interactive Digital Platform: A Systematic Literature Review

The development of educational technology in Indonesia shows rapid progress, but the gap in access to technology between urban and rural areas remains a crucial issue. The main problems in this study are limited infrastructure, low internet access, and lack of digital literacy among educators and students. This research aims to analyze the development of educational technology, identify obstacles in its implementation, and offer solutions to overcome these obstacles. This study collects data from various academic sources, policy reports, and related publications using the literature review method. The results show significant challenges in educational technology access and readiness in Indonesia, especially in remote areas. The proposed solutions include improving internet infrastructure, digital training for educators, and collaboration between the government and the private sector. In conclusion, equitable access to educational technology is needed to improve the quality of national education inclusively. This research has significant implications in mathematics education, especially in optimizing ethnomathematics-based realistic mathematics learning through interactive digital platforms. Teachers can adapt technology-based ethnomath approaches to increase student engagement and make learning more engaging and contextual.
