PENELITIAN ASAS NUMERASI DALAM LAGU RAKYAT KANAK-KANAK DUSUN BUNDU SEBAGAI ASAS PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIK [BASIC RESEARCH OF NUMERACY IN CHILDREN’S FOLK SONGS OF THE DUSUN BUNDU AS A BASIC OF MATHEMATICS LEARNING]

Children's folk songs are part of the oral literature of the Dusun Bundu. Nowadays, children's folk songs are increasingly difficult to hear. A study of Kadazandusun language in primary and secondary school textbooks found that folk songs are very poorly included. This situation is a loss to students who take the Kadazandusun Language subject because folk songs have cross-curricular elements, especially in mathematics. The objective of this study is to identify the basis of numeracy in several folk songs of Dusun Bundu children. Qualitative research is used by collecting data in the field through interview and observation methods. There are four folk songs used as analysis material. The folk songs were written in the form of verbatim texts before being analysed descriptively to clarify the objectives of the study. The results of the study found that all four folk songs of Dusun Bundu children have numeracy concepts such as kolondiso/isodin (one), kolonduo/duodin (two), lontu-lontu/tolukati (three), kaparangkat/apatkati (four) and so on. This study can contribute information on the concept of numeracy in the form of folk songs. Learning to use folk songs can encourage children to enjoy mathematics while preserving the cultural heritage of an ethnic group.
