Peningkatan Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Matematis Siswa Kelas Viii Melalui Pembelajaran Matematika Realistik

Abstract

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.

The Influence of Indonesia's Realistic Mathematics Education Approach on Students' Creative Thinking Ability

“…The results of the research carried out show that the average posttest score of students in the experimental class is higher than the score of students in the control class, these results can show that there is a positive influence of implementing the PMRI approach. However, this is not in line with research conducted by Suciati et al, (2021) shows that the ability to think creatively mathematically using the PMRI Approach has experienced a low increase due to the lack of maximum time for learning p-ISSN: 2580-2240Vol. 7 No.…”

“…In previous research conducted by Suciati et al, (2021),shows that the ability to think creatively mathematically using the PMRI Approach has experienced a low increase due to the lack of time for maximum effective learning activities. So previous researchers suggested carrying out the learning process by choosing the right and effective time so that the learning process can be carried out optimally.…”

Realistic Mathematic Education on Higher-Order Thinking Skill Mathematics of Students

“…To date, many studies related to the RME approach's effect on the types of abilities are classified as HOTS, namely critical thinking skills (Ariani & Batubara, 2017;Oktaviani et al, 2018;Puspita et al, 2018;Ridha et al, 2019), creative thinking (Durachman & Cahyo, 2020;Indira et al, 2017;Iskandar & Riyanti, 2015;Ismunandar & Taufan, 2020;Suciati et al, 2021), problem-solving ability (Amri & Abadi, 2013;H. P. Dewi et al, 2018;Herdiansyah & Purwanto, 2022;Mayasari, 2019;Wulandari et al, 2020;Zulaini Masruro Nasution, Edy Surya, 2017), and mathematical reasoning abilities (Dani et al, 2017;Fauzan et al, 2018;Kusumaningrum, 2016;Merina et al, 2019).…”
