PENGARUH PENDEKATAN REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (RME) TERHADAP KEMAMAMPUAN KOMUNIKASI MATEMATIS PESERTA DIDIK
Keywords:
Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), Mathematical Communication Skills, Elementary SchoolAbstract
Mathematical communication skills are one of the essential competencies that need to be developed in elementary mathematics learning. However, students' mathematical communication skills remain relatively low because learning activities have not fully engaged students actively and are not sufficiently connected to real-life contexts. This study aims to determine the differences and improvements in students' mathematical communication skills between classes applying the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and those applying the scientific approach. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 40 second-grade students of SDN Sindangagung, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through essay tests administered as pretests and posttests. The data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, hypothesis testing, and N-Gain analysis. The results indicate that there are differences in mathematical communication skills between students who receive instruction through the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and those who receive instruction through the scientific approach. The hypothesis test shows a significance value of 0.00018 (<0.05), while the N-Gain analysis indicates that the experimental class achieves a higher improvement than the control class. Therefore, the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach has a positive effect on students' mathematical communication skills in learning fractions.
