Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a traditional engklek game media integrated with a Deep Learning approach in improving fifth-grade students’ understanding of mathematical concepts at Argosari 02 Elementary School in Lumajang. The background of the study lies in the students’ low ability to comprehend mathematics meaningfully and connect it to real-life experiences, as well as the dominance of conventional, teacher-centered learning methods. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle included planning, action, observation, and reflection, incorporating the principles of mindful, joyful, and meaningful learning through a modified engklek game equipped with mission-based math tasks. The results indicated a significant improvement in conceptual understanding, with the mastery level increasing from 37.5% in the first cycle to 81.25% in the second cycle, and the average class score rising from 68.75% to 79.17%. The findings imply that culturally rooted, game-based learning media, when pedagogically structured, can foster active, contextual, and enjoyable learning experiences while aligning with the learner-centered goals of the Merdeka Curriculum and enhancing students’ critical and reflective thinking skills.
