The Implementation of Realistic Mathematics Education Approach to Improve Students' Mathematical Communication Ability in Statistics Course

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analize the improving of mathematical communication skills’s students, the learning acktivities of student and student’s response at Realistic Mathematics (RME) learning. The research is held at MTs.S Syamsudduha in 2018-2019 years, which using quasi experiment with a quantitative approach. This study used two samples, they are experiment’s class as treatment class consists of 34 students and control’s class which not give the treatment consists of 36 students which the sample was taken in this research used the technique sampling purposive. This data was obtained with test technique and observation sheet. Data is analyzed with t test using SPSS 18, the result show that there is an increasing of mathematical communication skills of student on statistical study with the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) learning. This shows that value of n-gain on student’s mathematical communication skill for experiment’s class is 0,49 and control’s class is 0,17 with significant 0,000 < 0,05, thats mean there is an increasing in the learning process. So, RME learning can improve student’s mathematical communication skills of students better than students who is taught by conventional learning.

Ethnomathematics-Based Learning Tools

“…Many ethnomathematical studies have been conducted, and research focuses on the development of media, teaching materials, and learning tools (Chrissanti, 2019;Ishartono & Ningtyas, 2021). Previous studies that have been conducted reveal that the use of media, teaching materials, and learning tools can increase the meaningfulness of the learning experience so that it affects motivation, interest, increased learning outcomes, increased problem-solving abilities, and can improve student character (Mania & Alam, 2021;Paroqi et al, 2021;Patria & Heswari, 2021). The difference between this study and previous research is the use of the Pawon (kitchen) element as a learning resource and the learning steps that are arranged according to the social distancing program.…”

Minat Peserta Didik dalam Mengikuti Pembelajaran PJOK

“…Pendidikan adalah suatu proses dalam rangka mempengaruhi seorang peserta didik (Bojović et al, 2020;Bronack, 2011;Vermunt & Donche, 2017). Penelitian lain juga menyatakan tujuan pendidikan yaitu agar peserta didik supaya mampu menyesuaikan diri sebaik mungkin dengan lingkungan sekitarnya, dan dengan demikian akan menimbulkan perubahan dalam diriya yang memungkinkan untuk berfungsi atau bermanfaat dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat (Davies et al, 2021;Latipah et al, 2020;Paroqi et al, 2021). Dari pendapat diatas dapat di simpulkan bahwa pendidikan sangatlah penting untuk menggali potensi-potensi yang ada dalam diri seseorang.…”

Trivium curriculum in Ethno-RME approach: An impactful insight from ethnomathematics and realistic mathematics education

“…Like Ethnomathematics, since its inception, until now the research and implementation of RME in mathematics learning have also grown rapidly (Papadakis et al, 2021;Paroqi et al, 2020;Risdiyanti & Prahmana, 2021;Sitorus & Masrayati, 2016). However, so far, the real context used in RME only functions as a starting point in learning, even though in these real contexts, there are many good socio-cultural values to be internalized by students in daily life.…”
