Abstract

The ability to solve contextual mathematical problems is a crucial skill that students need to possess. However, students often encounter difficulties in solving problems presented in real-life contexts. Understanding students' thought processes in solving contextual problems can provide valuable insights for teachers to design more effective learning strategies. This research aims to explore and gain a deep understanding of students' thinking processes when solving contextual mathematical problems, focusing on how students comprehend the problems, the strategies they employ in problem-solving, and the difficulties they encounter during the process. This study will employ a qualitative approach using a case study method, where data will be collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and analysis of students' work. The collected data will be thematically analyzed to identify patterns, strategies, and difficulties experienced by students, with data analysis conducted progressively and iteratively to ensure the depth and validity of findings. The research findings are expected to provide valuable insights into students' thinking processes in solving contextual mathematical problems, which can be utilized by teachers to design more effective learning strategies, assist students in developing problem-solving skills, and enhance students' ability to apply mathematics in everyday life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) model in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding and mathematical communication skills. The research method employed is a systematic literature review involving the collection, evaluation, and synthesis of data from academic sources such as journals, books, and scientific articles related to the RME model and Vygotsky’s learning theory in mathematics education contexts. The findings indicate that the implementation of the RME model significantly improves students’ conceptual understanding compared to conventional teaching methods. Moreover, the integration of Vygotsky’s theory supports the learning process through social interaction, which strengthens mathematical communication skills. The RME approach, which connects mathematics to real-world contexts, provides meaningful learning experiences that facilitate students in understanding and effectively communicating mathematical concepts. These results suggest that the RME model is a viable strategy for improving the quality of mathematics learning, particularly in conceptual understanding and communication skills.
