Abstract: The relationship between ethnomathematics and mathematics education is still widely questioned and criticized regard the focus attention on the culture can be trigger negative connotation occurs for some group of people. Besides, the problem how to find the contextual problem for the realistic mathematics education approach also needs to require attention. Integration those two theories, researcher tries to develop framework ethnomathematics based on Realistic Mathematics Education approach by seeing how the ethnomathematics able to reach formal mathematics in Realistic Mathematics Education approach. By identifying the strength and weakness both theories from previous studies, it is shown that the ethnomathematics can reach the formal mathematics as a based activity to support the contextual problem in realistic mathematics education approach..

Abstract: The quarry firm – level of efficiency of resource use has important implication on mining in Nigeria, since efficient quarry firms make better use of existing and available resources, producing maximum output at lowest possible cost. This study therefore focused on estimating the technical efficiency and productivity of granite stone production in Edo State, Nigeria. The data for this study were primary data collected from ten (10) selected granite quarries in Edo state. Data were collected using interview method with sets of structured questionnaire, which was designed to collect information on output and input. The study revealed that the technical efficiencies of the quarry firms varied closely between 0.9461 and 0.9993 with a mean of 0.9889. the study further revealed that significant positive determinants of technical inefficiency were mean age of productive equipment (p<0.05) and......

Abstract: The goal of this investigation was to define the validity and the interest of students towards developing PowToon-based learning videos to support flipped classroom strategies. This research is a Research and Development with ADDIE development model which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. This study uses descriptive analysis techniques by calculating the percentage of the results of validation, interests, and responses of students using questionnaire instruments. The results of media expert validation were 83%, the categories were very feasible, and the material experts were 80% very feasible, so the learning videos could be used as a medium to support flipped classroom strategies. The ARCS-based interest questionnaire results were 69% before, and 75% after using learning videos, student responses were 83%. There are differences between before and after using learning videos that learning videos can increase students interest...
