The Realistic of Mathematic Educational Approach to Enhancing Ability Mathematical Connections

Abstract

The aim of this study was to look at improving students' ability mathematical connection. Improve ability mathematical connection by developing Realistic Mathematics (RME) learning tools. This research is research and development, the results of this product are RPP, student activity sheets, teacher book guidelines, and student books. Development of learning tools based on a realistic approach developed using the 4-D development model from Thiagarajan. This research was conducted in grade VIII Junior High School 2 Candi Sidoarjo. The results of this study indicate: learning devices that are developed are valid, both in content validity and construction validity, there is an increase in ability mathematical connection of students using learning developed devices, and learning devices developed meet the criteria effectively, seen from: a) students' mathematical connection abilities are met , b) the ideal time of student activity is fulfilled, c) the teacher's performance in managing the class is fulfilled and d) the student's positive response.

Do Primary School Mathematics Textbooks Connect to Real Life? : The Case of Germany and Turkey

“…In this respect, activities belonging to the classical word problem type also include a skill that includes high-level thinking skills such as modeling. Literature studies (Altay, Yalvaç & Yeltekin, 2017;Hasbi, Lukito & Sulaiman, 2019;Smith & Morgan, 2016) or a realistic model in the activity help students connect mathematical thinking skills with real-world problems. Therefore, since Germany includes more than one type of activity in 4th-grade mathematics textbook activities, it can be said that it is partially related to real life.…”

Peningkatan Kemampuan Koneksi Matematis Siswa dengan Penerapan Pendekatan RME

“…Berikut hasil Sign Test kemampuan koneksi matematis siswa. (Hasbi et al, 2019). Sehingga pendekatan RME menjadi alternatif yang efektif dalam peningkatan kemampuan berkoneksi matematis yang dimiliki siswa.…”

Kemampuan Koneksi Matematis berdasarkan Minat Belajar Siswa

“…Penggunaan pendekatan yang tepat juga dapat berdampak langsung pada peningkatan kemampuan koneksi matematis. Misalnya, pendekatan yang menggunakan konteks kehidupan sehari, seperti pendekatan realistic mathematics education (RME) atau pendekatan realistic matematik Indonesia (PMRI) (Hasbi et al, 2019) dan pendekatan kontekstual atau contextual teaching and learning (CTL) (Nursamsi et al, 2020). Penggunaan media pembelajaran yang menarik juga berdampak positif terhadap minat belajar (Nurdin et al, 2020).…”
