This study examines the traditional concepts and mathematical practices of the Javanese people, as documented in Sĕrat Cĕnthini Kamajaya volumes IX–XII, with a focus on their methods of measurement. The research employs a qualitative ethnomathematical approach using a framework based on four key questions: where to look, how to look, what it is, and what it means. Data were drawn from the transliteration of Sĕrat Cĕnthini volumes IX–XII and analyzed using content analysis, triangulation, and pattern identification across six basic mathematical activities. The study identifies sixteen traditional Javanese measurement terms in Sĕrat Cĕnthini IX–XII, including sacengkang, lengen, sapungge, ula sawa, kilan, pêcak, sagêgêm, glintir, sairis, jodho, sakêpêl, saklêmuk, saontong, poros, pulukan, and tangkeb. These terms illustrate the close relationship between culture and mathematical reasoning. The findings highlight the embeddedness of mathematical concepts in Javanese cultural expressions, supporting the integration of ethnomathematics into culturally responsive education.

The study reveals a rich system of traditional Javanese measurement embedded within the 19th-century cultural context of Sĕrat Cĕnthini.Sixteen measurement terms were identified, demonstrating the integration of mathematical practices into daily life and cultural expression.This research underscores the potential of ethnomathematics to bridge traditional knowledge with contemporary pedagogy, fostering cultural preservation and enhancing mathematical literacy.

Further research should investigate the dynamic relationship between Javanese measurement terms and contemporary mathematical concepts, exploring how these traditional units can be integrated into modern curricula to enhance student understanding. Additionally, a comparative study examining measurement systems across different regions of Indonesia could reveal unique ethnomathematical practices and contribute to a broader understanding of cultural influences on mathematical thought. Finally, exploring the historical evolution of these measurement terms, tracing their origins and transformations over time, would provide valuable insights into the development of Javanese mathematical knowledge and its connection to broader Southeast Asian traditions. These investigations should involve collaborative efforts with local communities and educators to ensure the preservation and revitalization of this valuable cultural heritage, promoting a more inclusive and culturally relevant approach to mathematics education. The research should also consider the potential of digital tools and technologies to document, analyze, and disseminate this knowledge, making it accessible to a wider audience and fostering intergenerational learning.
