This study aims to develop a local instruction theory (LIT) based on realistic mathematics education (RME) that is valid, practical, and effective on the topic of multiplication in grade III of elementary school. The research method used is research design type Gravemeijer & Cobb (2013). The research was conducted in three phases, namely preparing for the experiment, experimenting in the classroom, and conducting retrospective analysis. Data was collected using document analysis, observation, interviews, field notes, tests, and questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on the research that has been carried out, LIT is produced which is valid, practical, and effective against students' mathematical problem solving abilities. Students can find a standard multiplication algorithm with a series of activities, namely finding the product of multiplication with repeated additions, ten multiplications, multiples of multiples of ten, and standard multiplication algorithms. Keywords: LIT, RME, multiplication

ABSTRAKSI: Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kesulitan belajar Matematika dan perbedaan peningkatan kemampuan berpikir logis siswa, yang diberi perlakuan pembelajaran LIT (Local Instruction Theory) dengan pendekatan PMR (Pendidikan Matematika Realistik) dengan siswa yang hanya diberi pendekatan PMR saja. Metode penelitian berupa “design research”, dengan subjek penelitian berjumlah 184 siswa SMP (Sekolah Menengah Pertama), yang berasal dari peringkat sekolah yang berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kesulitan belajar yang dialami siswa SMP adalah karena sulit dalam memahami variabel, koefisien, dan konstanta; sulit membaca maksud soal, sulit menyusun strategi dalam menyelesaikan soal; sulit dalam proses perhitungan; dan masih salah dalam penulisan persamaan. Peningkatan kemampuan berpikir logis siswa yang pembelajarannya menggunakan LIT dalam PMR ternyata lebih tinggi daripada siswa yang pembelajarannya menggunakan PMR saja. Perlu kajian lanjutan untuk melihat pengaruh penggunaan LIT dalam PMR terhadap kemampuan Matematis lainnya dan pada berbagai level sekolah.KATA KUNCI: Local Instruction Theory; Kesulitan Belajar; Pendidikan Matematika Realistik; Siswa SMP; Berpikir Logis. ABSTRACT: “The Local Instruction Theory in Realistic Mathematics Education for Improving the Ability of Logical Thinking”. The objective of this study was to determine the Mathematical learning difficulties and differences increase students' ability to think logically whose treated by learning approach LIT (Local Instruction Theory) with RME (Realistic Mathematics Education) and students treated by PMR learning approach only. The research method in the form of design research, with research subjects totaling 184 of JHS (Junior High School) students, derived from different school rankings. The research findings show that the difficulties of learning experienced by JHS students were caused by difficult to understand the variables, coefficients, and constants; difficult to read, to interpret the intent problems, to strategize in solving problems; difficult in the process of calculation; and still wrong in writing the equation. The increasing of logical thinking ability of students in learning to use LIT with RME is higher than students whose learning by using RME only. A further study is required to see the effect of using LIT with RME towards other Mathematical skills and at various school levels.KEY WORD: Local Instruction Theory; Difficulty Learning; Realistic Mathematics Education; Junior High School Students; Logical Thinking.    About the Authors: Tatang Supriatna adalah Mahasiswa SPs UPI (Sekolah Pasca Sarjana, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

Mathematics education is not mathematics, it makes a basic use of highly specialized kinds of mathematical knowledge. The modern world feels a crisis of proper mathematics education in any nation. Realistic Mathematics Education is a domain-specific instruction theory for mathematics. This paper introduces realistic mathematics education (RME) and Vygotskian impacts on mathematics education for learning mathematics. This article describes the development of teaching-learning mathematics & learning theories from a socio-cultural perspective. The methodology of the study is based on qualitative type.

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.
