Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning difficulties of multiplication calculation operations and examine the potential use of educational games containing local wisdom as a learning medium for grade III elementary school students in Temanggung Regency, Central Java. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive types and survey methods. Data was collected through student and teacher questionnaires, observations, and documentation of learning outcomes. The results of the study show that students’ ability to understand multiplication is still low, characterized by an average score that has not reached completion and a high percentage of students who experience difficulties. The learning that takes place is still dominated by conventional methods and the limited use of learning media. On the other hand, students have a high level of familiarity with digital games and show an interest in game-based learning. In addition, local wisdom in Temanggung Regency has potential that can be integrated in learning, but has not been utilized optimally. Therefore, the development of educational games based on local wisdom is a relevant solution to improve understanding of the concept of multiplication and create more interactive, contextual, and meaningful learning.
