PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN BERHITUNG MELALUI PENDEKATAN REALISTIC MATHEMATIC EDUCATION

Abstract

Research is result purposed to increase numeracy ability with application realistic
mathematic education approach. The method usedin this research was action research who
developed by Kemmis and Taggart. Action taken in this research consisted oft wocycles; the first
cycle consists of eight treatments and the second cycles consists of seven treatments. Data is used
to observation, interview, and documentation throughout the study. Analys data is used based on
the statistic depcription and interaktif model Miles and Huberman by steps: data reduction,
display, and conclusion drawing or verification by. Ability numeracy of student at pre-intervention
is 50%, cycle of one is 75%, and cycle of two is 81,25%. The result showed that the lesson use of
realistic mathematic education approach can increase numeracy ability student.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berhitung siswa melalui
pendekatan Realistic Mathematic Education. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode
penelitian tindakan yang dikembangkan oleh Kemmis danTaggart. Tindakan dilakukan dalam dua
siklus. Masing-masing siklus terdiri dari tahapan perencanaan, tindakan, pengamatan, dan refleksi.
Teknik pengumpulan data adalah observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data
menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman, meliputi: data
reduction, display, and conclusion drawing or verification. Analisis data penelitian diperoleh
berdasarkan pada peningkatan kemampuan berhitung siswa dari pra-tindakan sampai pada siklus
kedua. Kemampuan berhitung siswa pada pra-tindakan adalah 50%, siklus satu 75%, dan siklus
dua mencapai 81,25%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan pendekatan
Realistic Mathematic Education dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berhitung siswa.
