Abstract

One of the Education for Sustainable Development Goals is to provide equitable and inclusive access to quality education for all. However, some children with special needs, particularly slow learners, have yet to be able to enjoy inclusive and high-quality learning services. This research aims to enhance slow learners' competence by implementing the Realistic Mathematics Education Approach. It is descriptive qualitative research, with data collection techniques including focus group discussion, interview, and learning observation. The analysis involved comparing the principles of Realistic Mathematics Education in theory with those applied by teachers, as well as the learning approach used by teachers with those required by slow learners. The findings indicate that while some teachers have implemented learning based on the principles of Realistic Mathematics Education for all students, there needs to be more focus on interventions specifically tailored to the needs of slow learners. Furthermore, teachers still need to fully understand the services required by slow learners based on their unique characteristics. The implementation of Realistic Mathematics Education to meet the learning needs of slow learners in mathematics has primarily focused on activity and interactivity principles without emphasis on the understanding of concepts to enhance their competence.

Abstract

By modeling learning students enjoy learning and doing mathematics in new ways. This study aimed firsly to produce senior high school mathematics modeling tasks, lesson plan, and student worksheet for valid mathematical learning; secondly, to produce senior high school mathematics modeling, lesson plan, and student worksheet for practical mathematics learning; lastly, to produce senior high school mathematics modeling tasks, lesson plan, and student worksheet for potentially effective mathematics learning. This study used method of development research that consisting of 3 steps, i.e., analysis, design, and evaluation. In the analysis stage, researcher did student analysis, curriculum, and mathematical modeling. Second stage are to design and product. Finally, researchers applied a design of formative evaluation consists of self-evaluation, one-to-one, experts review, small group, and field test. Based on experts review, one-to-one, small groups, and field test were obtained valid, practical, and potentially effective, i.e. mathematical modeling tasks, lesson plan, student worksheet to teach mathematical modeling in senior high school and Mathematical modeling tasks and student worksheets to learn mathematical modeling in senior high school.

Abstract

Effective mathematical communication is essential for developing conceptual understanding and applying mathematics in real-life contexts. However, empirical studies consistently report that students' mathematical communication skills remain insufficiently developed, highlighting a critical gap in instructional practices that effectively foster these competencies. The Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, grounded in six core principles—reality, levels, intertwinement, activity, interactivity, and guidance—has demonstrated promise in promoting meaningful and contextualized learning. Yet, there is limited empirical research that systematically investigates how these principles specifically support the enhancement of students’ mathematical communication. This study addresses that gap by examining how the application of RME principles contributes to the development of communication skills in junior high school mathematics classrooms. Utilizing a qualitative research design, data were gathered from nine schools across three districts through focus group discussions, lesson plan analysis, and classroom observations. Participants included RME experts, education policymakers, school principals, and mathematics teachers. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify how the six RME principles are operationalized in practice and how they align with indicators of students’ mathematical communication. The findings reveal that each principle plays a distinct yet interconnected role in supporting communication—particularly through meaningful contexts, dialogic interactions, and structured teacher guidance. The study offers empirical support for the broader adoption of RME and highlights its potential to increase teacher motivation and instructional quality. It further underscores the importance of sustained professional development—such as mentoring and lesson study—in enhancing teachers' capacity to implement RME effectively. Future research should focus on developing RME-based instructional materials and digital tools, including GeoGebra-integrated worksheets and context-rich problem sets, to amplify its impact within mathematics education in Indonesia.
