<p>Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is an instructional theory that has been implemented in many countries around the world to link mathematics to real-world situations. The effectiveness of implementing RME in mathematics education is highly dependent on the role of teachers. This study was conducted with 64 high school teachers to survey their understanding and perspectives on RME and the status of RME implementation in teaching the topics of ellipse equation. Through qualitative analyzing the survey results, the study found that teachers are interested in RME, although the percentage of teachers formally trained in this theory was not high. Besides, the survey shows that it is necessary to help teachers overcome difficulties and improve the frequency and effectiveness of RME application in teaching mathematics.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0841/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran konteks gelas dalam mendukung pembelajaran konsep keliling lingkaran dan mengetahui respon peserta didik terhadap pembelajaran matematika menggunakan pendekatan Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) Surya Bangsa, Tangerang. Subjek penelitian ini adalah peserta didik kelas VIII.A Tahun Ajaran 2015/2016 semester II dengan jumlah peserta didik sebanyak 13 orang. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri atas Lembar Aktivitas Peserta Didik (LAPD), Soal Evaluasi, Lembar Observasi Guru, Panduan Wawancara dan Angket Respon Peserta Didik. Teknik pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini meliputi rekaman video, pengisian dokumen penelitian, observasi dan wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model Miles & Huberman (1994) yang terdiri atas reduksi data, penyajian data, penyimpulan dan verifikasi. Pembelajaran dalam penelitian ini menggunakan konteks gelas berdasarkan karakteristik pendekatan RME. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konteks gelas berperan penting dalam mendukung pembelajaran konsep keliling lingkaran. Selain itu, peserta didik memiliki respon yang positif terhadap pembelajaran matematika yang diberikan menggunakan pendekatan RME. Learning Circumference using the Context of Glass AbstractThis research aims to find out the role of glass as a context in supporting the concepts of the circumference of the circle and to know the response of learners in learning mathematics using Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach. This research conducted at Surya Bangsa Junior High School, Tangerang. The subjects of this study are students of class VIII.A in the academic year 2015/2016 semester II with the number of learners as many as 13 people. The research instruments used in this study consist of Student Activity Sheet (SAS), Evaluation Test, Observation Sheet, Interview Guide, and Questionnaire. Data collection techniques in this study include video recording, completion of research documents, observation, and interviews. Data analysis technique using Miles & Huberman (1994) model consisting of reduction data, presenting data, conclusion and verification. The learning in this study uses the context of glass based on the characteristics of the RME approach. The results of this study indicate that the context of glass plays a significant role in supporting learning the concept of the circumference of the circle. Also, learners have a positive response in learning mathematics provided using the RME approach.

The purpose of this research is to understanding the role of line and angle learning design in students’ comprehension of mathematical concept and also to understanding the students’ learning result through LAS (Lembar Aktivitas Mahasiswa) or student activity paper that is based on the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education approach. The research method used in this research is design research. The result of this research shows that the activity of using props or drawing a clock circle could motivate the students in checking out the shaped angle, So the students will have the idea to calculate how big is the angle that is shaped by the clockwise and also to determine its types. So, the design that is used could help the students to understanding the concept of angle through the context of clock circle.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cooperative learning model numbered heads together and realistic mathematics education. This type of research was a Classroom Action Research. These activities were conducted in two cycles. At first cycle, learning was carried out using NHT learning model and realistic mathematics education. Then the second cycle was carried out to fix anything that wasn’t right. The results of this study were increasing the percentage of students learning, from 34,5% in Pre Cycle, to 75,86% at the end of Cycle I, and became 93,1% at the end of Cycle II. Another improvement occurred in the activities of students and teachers. All of these improvements are certainly due to the presence of improvements during the learning process carried out by teachers and researcher over the last two cycles. The conclusion of this study is that cooperative learning with Numbered Heads Together Model and Realistic Mathematics Education can improve learning achievement in teaching mathematics.

Why is teaching in context an important option to consider in the teaching of mathematics? What does it mean to teach mathematics from and in contexts? And what are the possible challenges associated with this practice? The aim of this paper is not to provide a comprehensive answer or solution to these questions. We attempt rather to address these questions specifically with regard to South Africa and the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education.  In this article we consider a vignette of a more formal and traditional mathematics lesson and then suggest possible reasons why we need to be teaching more in context. Furthermore we discuss the application of the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education as a potential approach to facilitate teaching in context. Finally we present some challenges associated with this practice.
