The aims of this research is to increase student activity in learning mathematics by using Realistic Mathematics Education (RME)  in class VIII SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Prambanan. The study was conducted two siklus. Data collection techniques used are observation, interview, documentation and triangulation. Instrument research observation sheet and interview. Instrument analysis using content validity. The analysis used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) can increase student learning activity This is evident from the observation of student activity in learning every siklus has increased, that is average of observation percentage of student activity in siklus I 50,623% (enough), and at siklus II increased to 61.960% (good). From the results of interviews with students showed a positive response on student learning activity.

Seeking a systematic combination of the pedagogical model of m-learning with the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, this study concerns the use of math trail as a learning activity model that can take the advantages of mobile computing devices for the design of effective learning experiences in an authentic context. The paper presents the design and the case study of the first pilot implementation of a math trail, using mobile devices for primary school students. In this math trail, the students are guided, through a digital map, to a sequence of preselected sites of a park where they solve specially designed math problems using data from the environmental context. The students measure real objects’ dimensions either with conventional instruments or by measurement applications of their tablet. According to the findings of the study, students solved the puzzles by applying mathematical knowledge, discussion and collaboration. The students applied and reinforced their knowledge through an effective and engaging learning activity. Moreover, the students were puzzled about the differences of the measurements by conventional and digital instruments and this confusion triggered social negotiation. Further research is needed for a grounded theory development about m-learning design for RME.

This study aims to determine the ability of students to understand mathematical concepts through the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach to learning mathematics in class VIII of SMP PGRI 1 Betung. This research is a "quasi experiment" category of one shot case study. In this study, there was only one sample class, namely the class that became the experimental class, namely class VIII.5 consisting of 35 students, which was carried out without a control class or comparison class. The data collection technique used in this research is the test method, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the students' ability to understand mathematical concepts after the application of the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education Approach (PMRI) at SMP PGRI Betung is categorized as good, this is shown by the results of the average score. -The average final test of students' ability to understand mathematical concepts was 76.8.

This study aimed at searching the different effect of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and Think Pair Share (TPS) types of cooperative learning models with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on the students’ learning outcome viewed from students’ learning activity. The observation, interview, questionnaires, and tests were used to obtain the data which were then analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The result of research showed that: (1) STAD with RME approach provides better learning outcome than TPS with RME approach does; (2) the students with high learning activities have mathematics learning outcome better than those with medium and low learning activities; and (3) there is no interaction between the model of teaching and learning activities students to the results of the students’  mathematics learning.

Based on experience and reflection multiplication of fractions learning at fifth class SDN 33 VII Koto Padang Pariaman district. Student learning outcomes is still low and the learning undertaken by teachers arenot using realistic problem to beginning of learning. So the author through this research trying to improve student learning outcomes in subjects multiplication of fractions. The purpose of this study was to describe the planning, implementation and learning outcomes. This research is action research (class action research), this study used a qualitative and quantitative approach. Learning is used by using the realistic mathematics education approach. After doing research hence an increase in student learning outcomes in multiplication of fractions lesson using realistic mathematics education approach. It can be seen, both from the ability of teachers in designing learning from 83% up to 94%, implementation of learning increased 94% from 77%, and learning outcomes increased to 86,87 from 74,04.

This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) to improve students' multi-representation ability. A quasi-experimental design was used in this research. Sixty-four samples from the seventh-grade students of Junior School were randomly selected and divided into two classes: experimental class was treated using RME and control class was treated using conventional learning, with each class consisting of thirty-two students. The essay test was used to measure the multi-representation ability of students and the questionnaire was used to measure students' responses in RME learning. The data from the essay test were analyzed by N-Gain test and t-test in which normality and homogenity test were conducted previously, while the students' learning completeness and student responses were presented descriptive quantitative. The result of the research concluded that the multi-representation ability of students who get RME learning is better than the multi-representation ability in students who get conventional learning. 87.25% of students who get RME learning with the developed device have completed the KKM, and many students are very enthusiastic and interested in RME based learning, thus increasing their learning spirit in a learning process.
