THE EFFECT OF REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (RME) LEARNING MODEL ON MATHEMATICS LEARNING OUTCOMES OF CLASS IV SD GMIM SION RAANAN BARU

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using the Realistic Mathematics Education model on mathematics learning outcomes of the fourth grade students of SD GMIM Sion Raanan Baru. The method used in this study was a quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. Data collection was carried out using a multiple-choice test of learning outcomes, involving 30 students as samples. Pre-test and post-test data were analyzed descriptively indicating that the minimum score achieved from the learning outcomes of students given treatment in the form of the conventional learning model is 12 out of an ideal score of 100 and the maximum score is 40 out of 100. Meanwhile, the minimum score of student learning outcomes given treatment using the Realistic Mathematics Education learning model is 64 out of an ideal score of 100 and the maximum score is 88 out of 100. The experimental and control groups' sample post-test data are normally distributed and have homogeneous variants. Then a further test is carried out the next test carried out is hypothesis testing using t-test. Based on the results of the hypothesis test, it is known that t-statistics> t-table = 16.74 > 1.701131, it can be concluded that there exists a significant effect of applying the Realistic Mathematics Education learning model compared to the conventional learning model if it is oriented to mathematics learning outcomes from plane figures of the fourth Grade Students of SD GMIM Sion Raanan New.
