Abstract

Understanding mathematical concepts is an important skill in developing numeracy literacy in elementary school students. However, initial observations at SDN Bandung 1 in Serang District show that some fifth-grade students still have difficulty understanding basic mathematical concepts, especially in the subject of fraction calculations. This occurs because learning is still teacher-centered and does not sufficiently relate mathematical concepts to real-life contexts. This study aims to determine the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group type. The research sample consisted of 41 students, namely 21 students in the experimental class and 20 students in the control class. The results of the analysis using the t-test showed a t-value of 3.52 > t-table = 2.02 at a significance level of 0.05. The average posttest score of the experimental class was 82.90, which was higher than that of the control class, which was 73.45. These results indicate that the RME approach has a significant effect on improving students' mathematical concept understanding and helps them understand abstract concepts through more contextual and meaningful situations.

This research is a qualitative research approach combined with descriptive methods. The subjects of this research were 25 students at Public Elementary School 2 Ngabeyan in grades III and IV. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and withdrawal. conclusion. The procedure used is to describe and analyze data in the field. The approach in this research uses a pedagogical, psychological and ethnomusicological approach. Techniques for collecting data are by means of participant observation, structured interviews and documentation studies. The data validity technique uses data triangulation. Data analysis techniques using data collection, data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The results of the research show that the story of the history of Indonesian independence functions as a medium for strengthening students' character education through instilling personality values by forming behavioral habits in accordance with the instillation of strengthening character education including religious, nationalist, independence, mutual cooperation and integrity values.
