<p style="text-align: justify;">Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) has gained popularity worldwide to teach mathematics using real-world problems. This study investigates the effectiveness of elliptic topics taught to 10th graders in a Vietnamese high school and students' attitudes toward learning. The RME model was used to guide 45 students in an experimental class, while the conventional model was applied to instruct 42 students in the control class. Data collection methods included observation, pre-test, post-test, and a student opinion survey. The experimental results confirm the test results, and the experimental class's learning outcomes were significantly higher than that of the control class's students. Besides, student participation in learning activities and attitudes toward learning were significantly higher in the RME model class than in the control class. Students will construct their mathematical knowledge based on real-life situations. The organization of teaching according to RME is not only a new method of teaching but innovation in thinking about teaching mathematics.</p>

The development of this student book uses the Thiagarajan development model. The development of this model has four stages: definition, planning, development, and dissemination. In addition, the development of students' books is based on realistic mathematics education (PMR), especially on contextual issues, the use of models, and guided discovery. Subsequently the student's book has validated experts and practitioners to be tested in the classroom. Expert and practitioner scores were 3.46 (very valid). Furthermore, it was tested in the classroom in order to see the practicality and effectiveness. Practicality of students' books is measured through the implementation of learning in the learning process. Student book implementation data as a whole is 'high categorized'. Student book effectiveness is measured through three indicators: (1) student activity, (2) student response, and (3) mastery learning. Through classroom tests, data on students' activity observation outcomes during the learning process as a whole are 'active criteria'. Students give a positive response. Post-test data found that none of the students scored under 65% of the standard learning objectives to be achieved. Furthermore, if seen classically obtained an average of 83.1%.

The lack of use of teaching materials that are able to construct learners to understand mathematics learning in schools causes the achievement of students' mathematical skills are still in the low category. This study aims to develop a valid, practical and effective LKPD based on RME with maritime context. This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) research with a limited ADDIE development model, they are Analysis, Design, Development (ADD) stage. Data in the study were collected by the test and questionnaire methods. The research instruments used were expert validation sheets, student questionnaire response sheets, and test sheets. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis to measure the validity of LKPD, Rasch modeling to measure the practicality of LKPD, and compare individual and classical minimum completeness criteria from students' post-test results to measure the effectiveness of LKPD. The results showed that LKPD based on RME fulfilled valid criteria with the dominance of the assessment in the good category, practical criteria with the dominant response of students in the practical category, and effective with a percentage of completeness of 87%.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penerapan pendekatan RME berbasis budaya Aceh terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar matematika dan aktivitas siswa. Penelitian ini dikategorikan sebagai penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan deskriptif dan statistik inferensial. Desain penelitian ini berbentuk pre-test post-test control group design, dengan populasi seluruh siswa kelas II SD Negeri 2 Kota Lhokseumawe, dengan mengambil sampel dua kelas (kelas eksprimen dan kelas kontrol) melalui teknik random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan dua jenis instrumen yaitu tes dan non tes. Tes meliputi soal untuk mengukur hasil belajar matematika siswa, dan non-tes berupa  data observer terhadap aktivitas siswa pada pembelajaran matematika realistik berbasis budaya Aceh. Uji statistik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah statistik deskriptif untuk menyajikan data dan statistik inferensial ANOVA dua jalur. Sebelum ANOVA dua jalur digunakan terlebih dahulu dilakukan uji homogenitas dan normalitas dengan taraf signifikan 5%. Untuk melihat adanya pengaruh peningkatan hasil belajar matematika siswa antara kelompok pemebelajaran matematika realistik berbasis budaya Aceh dengan kelompok konvensional digunakan uji-t pada taraf signifikansi 0,05. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diperoleh bahwa 1) Peningkatan hasil belajar matematika siswa yang memperoleh pedekatan pembelajaran matematika realistik berbasis budaya Aceh lebih tinggi daripada peningkatan hasil belajar matematika siswa yang memperoleh pembelajaran biasa / konvensional. (2)Tidak terdapat interaksi antara pendekatan pembelajaran dengan kemampuan awal yang dimiliki siswa (3)  Aktivitas siswa dengan pembelajaran matematika realistik berbasis budaya Aceh lebih aktif dan meningkat serta siswa memberi respon positif.

Design thinking skill is perhaps the most directly related thinking skill of mathematical thinking skill, because design thinking contains a strong problem-solving process in itself. In this study, it was aimed to provide students to avoid thinking about mathematics only procedurally or instrumentally and to introduce them to mathematical studying methods and mental habits. Therefore, tasks were chosen that would encourage students to think and design using real-life mathematical elements and thus encourage effective mathematical thinking. According to Freudenthal, the theorist of the Realistic Mathematics Education, mathematics should be related to the social life of students, close to their experiences, relevant to the society they live in, and compatible with human values. The research is designed as “action research” which is one of the qualitative research methods. Participants were selected using the convenience sampling method. Edmodo software was used as an electronic portfolio. Activities were prepared within the framework of RME approach. The responses are given by the students to those activities distributed when examined under 5 main headings: designing products, expressing the mathematical opinions clearly, using the mathematical knowledge, the research skills and the originality. These criteria generated after taking an expert opinion, subjected to qualitative analysis and interpreted. Consequently, it can be concluded that the educational process which is carried out with design-based activities provides learning, and is relevant to daily life, is interesting and is motivating. The integration of face-to-face teaching with technology and online approaches also help teachers manage design-based activities in a more effective way. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0785/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

It is important for students to connect with real life in mathematics courses. The aim of this study is to investigate the activities which are written by prospective primary school teachers in the context of Realistic Mathematics Education. This research is a case study of which data were collected by qualitative methods. The participants of the research included 81 prospective primary teachers who are junior students attended primary teacher department. It was asked them to write an activity suitable for primary mathematics curriculum by considering Realistic Mathematics Education principles. They were given one month to write the activities. The activities written by prospective teachers analyzed by descriptive methods in terms of learning domains, types of context and principles of Realistic Mathematics Education. Totally 36 activities were written by prospective teachers. Based on the analysis, it was observed that not all the contexts were exactly real life contexts. It was determined that prospective teacher could not distinguish routine word problems from real life problems. It can be said that theoretical knowledge of Realistic Mathematics Education is inadequate for writing activities and prospective primary teachers need to practice on writing activities regarding the mentioned theory.
