PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA REALISTIK TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN MATEMATIS SISWA (DITINJAU DARI KEMAMPUAN REPRESENTASI DAN KOMUNIKASI)
Abstrak: This research is
motivated by the low mathematical ability of students seen in the test results
Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2012. The ability of
mathematics not only be based on the ability of understanding only, but there
are also other capabilities that factor into the level of mathematical ability
of students, among others, representation and communication capabilities. So to
overcome this use realistic mathematics learning. Formulation of the problem in
this research is "Is there any realistic mathematics education effect on
the ability of students' mathematical representation and communication?".
The goal was to determine the effect of realistic mathematics learning of the
mathematical ability of students' representation and communication. The method
used is Posttest-Only Control Design which will give treatment to the realistic
mathematics learning experiment class and conventional learning to control
class. After treatment, given posttes to measure its influence in the ability
of students' mathematical representation and communication. The research
instrument in the form of tests which contains the indicator variables.
Subjects in this study were 32 students of the control class and 32 students
for the experimental class. For data analysis used the t-test previously
conducted pre-requisite test the normality and homogeneity test. In this study,
H0 reads No realistic mathematics education effect on the ability of students'
mathematical representation and communication. And H1 reads no realistic
mathematics education effect on the ability of students' mathematical
representation and communication. The results show the ability of the student
representation is obtained and the communication skills of students obtained
which showed that H0 refused on both. It can be concluded that the realistic
mathematics instruction affect the ability of students' mathematical
representation and communication.
