<p>This research aims to build students’ abilities in mathematical problem-solving and to explain the uniqueness of the steps of realistic mathematic education in building the problem-solving abilities of a grade 11 (social science track) class in the study of probability at one of the schools in Kupang. The observation results found that every student was having difficulties to solving the mathematical problems, particularly the narrative questions. The research method is Kemmis and Taggart model of Classroom Action Research which was conducted in three cycles, from October 4 to November 3 with twenty-four students. Triangulation had been done to every instrument of variable. The data of mathematical problem-solving was obtained from the students by using test sheets, questionnaires, and student’s discussion sheets. Meanwhile, the data of realistic mathematic education’s variable was obtained from three sources: mentors, two colleagues, and students that were using test sheets, questionnaires, and student’s discussion sheets. The results showed that the fourteen-steps of Realistic Mathematic Education that had been done were able to build mathematical problem-solving abilities of the students. This was evidenced through the increase of three indicators of mathematical problem-solving in every cycle. The average increase of indicators of mathematical problem-solving of the grade 11 students from the first to the third cycle was 10%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Realistic Mathematics Approach can build the ability of problem-solving of grade 11 students in a social science track studying probability at one of the schools in Kupang.</p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA </strong><strong>ABSTRACT</strong>: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa dan menjelaskan kekhasan langkah-langkah pendekatan matematika realistik untuk membangun kemampuan tersebut di salah satu sekolah di Kupang kelas XI IPS pada materi peluang topik kaidah pencacahan.

<p class="Abstract">The research aimed to describe the students’ mathematics problem-solving skill and self-regulation in <em>SMP Negeri 8 Purwokerto</em> used Miles and Huberman’s model of cover reduction, serve, and conclusion. The data source of this research were eight graders of class F by using purposive sampling. The students grouped into three categories according to the mid-term result. The categories were: high, mediocre, and low scores. The data was collected using tests, questionnaire, interview, and documentation. This research concluded that the students’ mathematics problem-solving skill from those three categories was different. The high score students’ group had a better problem-solving skill compared to the students in the mediocre or the low categories. However, the self-regulation from these three groups did not have a significant difference. It was still at the developing level. Thus, it could be concluded that the students’ self-regulation did not affect the ability to solve mathematical problems.</p>

This study aims to improve the ability to solve mathematical problems with the application of realistic mathematics learning. From the students' initial abilities, it can be seen that students in class V MIN 2 Padang sidimpuan still have a fairly low average grade. The study used classroom action research as much as 2 cycles. The subjects of this study were students of class V MIN 2 Padangsidimpuan which were primary data. The research instrument in this study was a test of students' mathematical problem solving abilities and observation sheets. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the average increase in students' mathematical problem solving ability from the initial test is 19.833 (19.833%) categorized as very poor to 51.083 (51.083%) which is not good enough in the first cycle and becomes 83.083 (83.083%) in the good category in the cycle II.

AbstractResearch on mathematical problem solving has a long tradition: retracing its fascinating story sheds light on its intricacies and, therefore, on its needs. When we analyze this impressive literature, a critical issue emerges clearly, namely, the presence of words and expressions having many and sometimes opposite meanings. Significant examples are the terms ‘realistic’ and ‘modeling’ associated with word problems in school. Understanding how these terms are used is important in research, because this issue relates to the design of several studies and to the interpretation of a large number of phenomena, such as the well-known phenomenon of students’ suspension of sense making when they solve mathematical problems. In order to deepen our understanding of this phenomenon, we describe a large empirical and qualitative study focused on the effects of variations in the presentation (text, picture, format) of word problems on students’ approaches to these problems. The results of our study show that the phenomenon of suspension of sense making is more precisely a phenomenon of activation of alternative kinds of sense making: the different kinds of active sense making appear to be strongly affected by the presentation of the word problem.

One characteristic of typical mathematical problem is that it requires bunch of relevant prior knowledge. This knowledge is built consecutively and is recalled whenever needed to promote student to solve the problem. The process undertaken by the solver to utilize existing relevant prior knowledge while solving the problem is called access. However, this access is possible subject to disturbance for some reasons. This literature study addresses some factors that can distract access: factor related to metaprocess and factor related to deficit structure. The variants included in both factors have been proved through research as the contributors of the accessibility of relevant prior knowledge. Knowledge that cannot be accessed is called inert knowledge, the main reason for why solver face the difficulty to find the answer to given mathematical problem. The explanation leads to the suggestion of how to tackle the inertia of particular knowledge. One of them are through the instruction setting. Realistic Mathematics Education as one of approaches in learning can be a possible alternative for the issue of inert knowledge. Keywords. Mathematical problem solving, prior knowledge, access, inert knowledge, Realistic Mathematics Education
