ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to know the improvement of students' mathematical problem solving ability after applying realistic mathematics approach of class VII-b SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Kuala and to describe that realistic mathematics approach is better than conventional learning. The subjects of the study were Class VII-b SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Kuala which amounted to 40 students. The object of this research is to improve students' mathematical problem solving ability through realistic mathematics approach class VII-b SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Kuala. This type of research is a classroom action research. In this study consists of two cycles, where at the end of each cycle is given a problem-solving test to determine students' mathematical problem solving abilities. The question form for each test is a description. The first procedure in this study was to give an initial skill test to class VII-b (to be studied) and class VII-a, in order to see students' early mathematical problem-solving abilities. The two held a lesson with the application of a realistic mathematical approach with rectangular subjects in class VII-b. Before the first action is given a preliminary test to determine the initial ability and early difficulty of students. From the preliminary results of the tests, the mean grade of grade VII-b is 53.75 and class VII-a is 53.625. After giving the action through realistic mathematics approach in cycle 1 in class VII-b, the mean value of problem solving ability test I was 70.83 with the number of students who have reached the classical learning completeness level of 24 students (60%) and conventional class VII -a is 60.17 with the number of students reaching the classical learning level of 9 students (22.5%). While after the improvement of cycle I in cycle II, the average value of problem solving test of class II VII-b is 81.83 with the number of students reaching the classical learning level of 37 students (92,5%) and class VII-a is 69.08 with the number of students reaching the classical learning level as much as 19 students (47,5%). Based on the results of this study indicate that by applying realistic mathematics approach on rectangular subjects in class VII-b SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Kuala can improve the problem solving ability of mathematical students and classes that are given a realistic mathematical learning approach is better than the class that is given conventional learning .Keywords: Problem Solving Abilities,  Realistic Mathematical Approach ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa setelah diterapkan pendekatan matematika realistik kelas VII-b SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Kuala dan untuk mendeskripsikan bahwa pendekatan matematika realistik lebih baik daripada pembelajaran konvensional.

The 2013 curriculum requires students to master the cognitive domains from analysis to evaluation. The fact is not all students have the same cognitive development. Junior high school students, it turns out that students who think concretely, must see in real terms, so the learning approach used in this study has to lead students to be active in learning. One of active learning approach is the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). This study is an experimental research. The goals of this study are: 1. Is the mathematical problem-solving abilities of students who used the RME approach better than students who used the scientific approac? 2. Determine whether there is an interaction between the learning approach and the mathematical initial ability (high, medium, low) on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The results showed: 1. The mathematical problem-solving abilities of students who used the RME approach was better than students who used the scientific approach; 2. There is no interaction between the learning approach and mathematical initial abilities (high, medium, low) on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities.

Knowledge Access

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.

<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.
