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.

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

This classroom action research was aimed at describing the improvement of students' mathematical problem solving (MPS) ability through Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). Nineteen students of VIII grade in SMP Laboratorium Undiksha in the first semester of the academic year of 2019/2020 were taken part as the research subject. This research data was collected by observation sheet and essay-test then it analyzed descriptively using simple statistics. The result of the research showed that the average score of students’ MPS ability on the first cycle equals 71,92, the second cycle equals 73,2, and the third cycle equals 75. As demonstrated, the implementation of RME could increase students’ MPS ability. Hence, the implementation of RME made students more motivated, more active on discussion and learning process, solved problems more easily, and more trained to communicate their understanding.

The balance between cognitive and mathematical affective abilities is very important to be mastered by students in order to face future challenges. Background of the research is based on the students’ low ability of mathematical problem solving and mathematical learning activeness. The purpose of this research is finding the relation between students’ mathematical problem-solving ability and students’ mathematical learning activeness by using Realistic Mathematics Education approach using GeoGebra. The method in this research is the experimental research in the form of pre-test-post-test Control Group Design. In addition, the population for this research is the entire Public middle schools (SMP Negeri) in West Bandung regency. From all public middle schools in West Bandung, a school named SMP Negeri 3 Batujajar is randomly selected, and two classes of the 1st-gradestudents of the school are selected as the research sampling data. The first class becomes an experimental class which gains learning using GeoGebra assisted realistic mathematics educational approach and the other class gets common learning. The result of the research shows that there is a more positive relationship between mathematical problem-solving ability and mathematical learning activeness of learning by using Realistic Mathematics Education approach with GeoGebra rather than using common learning. In addition, the approach gives positive impacts, such as more interactive learning, understanding concepts, and more meaningful learning.

In general, junior high school students learn mathematics with an inductive pattern. However, the statements in mathematics are obtained through a deductive mindset. Therefore we need a learning approach that can accommodate students' thinking patterns. Mathematics adheres to the law of consistency which causes the structure of material in mathematics to be hierarchically arranged, interrelated, and has characteristics that have implications for determining strategies, approaches and the use of learning media. This article aims to review the theory of the Realistic Mathematics Education Approach (PMR). An approach that can make students involved in building their own concepts and models used through problem solving. The PMR discussion begins with the definition of PMR, the principles and characteristics of PMR, and the contribution of PMR in learning mathematics. Writing this article uses the literature review method which consists of books, journal articles, and other documents related to the topic of discussion. The results of the study found that Realistic Mathematics Education (PMR) is a mathematics learning innovation that is in accordance with the 2013 curriculum.The use of contexts and models, as well as the use of student contributions through discussions to discuss various linkages between mathematics material, makes this approach able to contribute to improving five general mathematical abilities. which includes: the ability to understand mathematics, problem solving, mathematical connections, mathematical communication, and mathematical reasoning.
