This study aims to improve the ability of junior high school students' mathematical creative thinking through Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) on the material system of two-variable linear equations. Improvement is reviewed based on the ability of students to answer questions that have been prepared based on aspects of creative thinking abilities. The research method uses a quantitative research design by providing pretest and posttest questions. The research sample involved 82 students of class VIII Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al-Kamil, consisting of one experimental class and one control class randomly selected. The research instrument uses essay questions as much as 4 items to measure mathematical creative thinking skills. Data analysis conducted in this research was in the form of normality, homogeneity, and normalized gain test. The results showed that the use of RME was considered ineffective so that the increase that occurred was very low.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
