<p>Algebra is one of the most fundamental concepts in learning mathematics and the concept of equality is an essential part of learning algebraic topics. However, many students find this concept difficult to understand. The problem is the difficulty of the content and how to teach it. In order to solve the problem, this paper reviews the use of the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) in teaching the concept of equality. RME is a process of teaching and learning mathematics in a contextual way as mathematics is considered as a human activity. This paper aims to review the use of the RME theory in teaching the concept of equality within the Biblical perspective as the parameter of the implementation for mathematics as one of God’s tools to reveal His glory and wisdom. The method used in this paper was literature review which used literature findings as the resources. According to the literature research, it was found that the main problem in teaching and learning the concept of equality was students’ misconception of equality. The use of the RME theory can help teachers to teach the “equality” concept to help student learn contextually. </p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK<strong></strong>: </strong>Aljabar merupakan salah satu konsep paling dasar dalam pembelajaran matematika mendalam dan konsep persamaan merupakan bagian yang penting dalam mempelajari topik-topik aljabar. Namun ada murid-murid yang mendapati bahwa konsep persamaan sulit dimengerti. Permasalahannya adalah seputar sulitnya materi yang dipelajari dan cara pengajarannya. Untuk mencari solusi dari permasalahan tersebut, makalah ini akan mengkaji penggunaan teori Matematika Realistis dalam pengajaran konsep persamaan. Matematika Realistis adalah proses belajar mengajar matematika kontekstual yang memandang matematika sebagai aktifitas manusia. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penggunaan teori Matematika Realistis dalam pengajaran konsep persamaan di dalam perspektif Alkitabiah sebagaimana matematika adalah alat Allah untuk menyingkapkan kemuliaan dan hikmat-Nya. Metode yang digunakan dalam makalah ini adalah studi literatur yang menggunakan temuan-temuan literatur sebagai sumber. Berdasarkan studi literatur, masalah utama dalam pengajaran konsep persamaan adalah adanya miskonsepsi pada pemahaman murid dan menggunakan teori Matematika Realistis, pengajar dapat mengajar konsep “keseimbangan” untuk membantu murid belajar secara kontekstual.</p>

The process of teaching and learning mathematics in elementary schools is generally presented in an abstract form, learning is dominated by lectures, exercises, and question and answer methods so that students become passive and find it difficult to understand the material.  This study aims to determine the level of activity and student learning outcomes in mathematics class VA students of SDN 2 Kotagajah.  So that mathematics learning activities can be felt meaningful and produce activity and learning outcomes as well as learning objectives to be achieved properly is to apply the approach of realistic mathematics education (RME).  Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is an approach that emphasizes the conceptualization of teaching and has a tendency for students to become active participants in the teaching and learning process.  This research is a classroom action research with data analysis in the form of qualitative and quantitative analysis using test data collection tools, observation, and documentation.  This study concludes that there is a relationship between student activity and learning outcomes and the use of successful methods to achieve the desired targets.  The average percentage of student activity in the first cycle was 67% and remembering as much as 11% and in the second cycle was 78%.  The percentage of completeness of learning outcomes reached 52% and 76% in cycle II.  So, there was an increase in learning outcomes from cycle I to cycle II, which was 24%.

Mathematics in context (MiC) is an integrated program that uses Realistic Mathematics Education(RME) approach to teaching and learning of mathematics. It emphasizes learning mathematics from realistic situations, students’ invention or construction of solution procedure and interaction with other students or the teacher. Students should be encouraged to make sense out of real problems and the mathematics instruction should be designed accordingly. This article deals with the underlying principles of RME and highlights the features of MiC in Nepalese Mathematics Education. Keywords Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), Mathematics in Context (MiC), didactical phenomenology, guided reinvention, emergent model DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/av.v1i0.5299 Academic Voices 2011; 1: 1-5

<p>Mathematics education in our country is currently experiencing a paradigm <br />shift. There was a strong anxiety and awareness, especially among policy makers, to renew mathematics education. The aim is that the learning of mathematics more meaningful for students and can provide adequate supplies of competence both to further study or for entering the workforce. This paper describes the new paradigm. The outline will be elaborated on some new approaches in learning mathematics, such as kontruktivis, contextual (contextual teaching and learning or CTL), and in particular will be described on realistic mathematics education approach (MEA). <br /><br /></p>

AbstractMathematics is fundamental for many professions, especially science, technology, and engineering. Yet, mathematics is often perceived as difficult and many students leave disciplines in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as a result, closing doors to scientific, engineering, and technological careers. In this editorial, we argue that how mathematics is traditionally viewed as “given” or “fixed” for students’ expected acquisition alienates many students and needs to be problematized. We propose an alternative approach to changes in mathematics education and show how the alternative also applies to STEM education.

Pendidikan Matematika Realistik merupakan pendekatan dalam pembelajaran matematika yang sesuai dengan paradigma pendidikan sekarang. Pendidikan Matematika Realistik menginginkan adanya perubahan dalam paradigma pembelajaran, yaitu dari paradigma mengajar menjadi paradigma belajar. Pada Pembelajaran Matematika Realistik (PMR) mengutamakan pengenalan konsep melalui masalah kontekstual, hal-hal yang konkrit atau dari lingkungan sekitar dengan proses matematisasi oleh siswa dengan mengkonstruksikan idenya sendiri. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana proses pelaksanaan pembelajaran matematika realistik pada pokok bahasan persamaan linier satu variable. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data, bahwa pemahaman konsep matematika siswa dengan pendekatan matematika realistik dapat di lihat bahwa secara keseluruhan kegiatan pembelajaran sudah sesuai dengan rancangan pembelajaran, siswa dapat mengkonstruksi sendiri konsep persamaan linear satu variable dan beberapa kelompok dapat menyelesaikan masalah konstektual sebalum diajarkan cara mengerjakan terlebih dahulu. Saran, sebagai tenaga pengajar hendaknya menciptakan suatu inovasi yang dapat mengembangkan bakat, menumbuhkan minat dan meningkatkan kebiasaan belajar siswa, sehingga konsep belajar matematika yang diperolehnya diharapkan lebih baik.Realistic Mathematics Education is an approach to learning mathematics in accordance with the current educational paradigm. Realistic Mathematics Education wants to change the paradigm of learning, from the paradigm of teaching to be learning. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) prioritizing the introduction of concepts through contextual issues, things that are concrete or of the surrounding environment with a mathematical process by students with constructing his own. The purpose of this study was to describe how the process of implementation of realistic mathematics learning on the subject of one variable linear equations. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive. Based on the results of data analysis, that the understanding of math concepts students to approach realistic mathematics can be seen that the overall learning activities are in accordance with the lesson plan, students can construct their own concept of linear equations in one variable, and some groups can solve the contextual problem before teacher teach how to solve it first , Suggestions, as teachers should create an innovation that can make growing talent, cultivate interest and enhance the students' learning habits, so the concept is expected to study mathematics gained more better.
