Abstract

The nature of learning mathematics in elementary schools is learning that challenges students. Challenging learning is certainly learning that can hone problem solving skills. One of the learning approaches that can bridge problem solving skills is the Realistic Mathematics Education. RME is an approach to learning mathematics that has the view that mathematics needs to be taught contextually. Seeing learning at school tends to be less related to everyday life. The teacher does not facilitate students in orienting contextual daily problems. The daily assessment learning outcomes of fourth grade students at SDN Mega Eltra are 70%, or as many as 12 students out of 17 students in total, still below the minimum completeness criteria. This type of research is classroom action research. The research subjects were students of grade IV (four) SD Negeri Mega Eltra, Kesambi District, Cirebon City, the data collection technique was using a test. From the results of the research that has been done, the problem-solving ability in the first cycle obtained from the test shows that the average value of the problem-solving ability test results is 60 with a percentage of 60% with an ability level of Fairly Able. And in cycle II the average value of problem solving ability is 85 with a percentage of 85% with the ability level Able. This shows that the application of RME can improve problem solving skills in fractional material.

This study was practiced at one of Elementary School in Kecamatan Sumber, Kabupaten Cirebon. The subject of this activity is 25 students of 5th grade. This study used Action Research Method. Based on the results of the analysis, there was an increase in the aspect of student test scores in the pre-research with a score of 70 by 40%, at the end of the first cycle a score of 60% was obtained, and at the end of the second cycle the score increased to 84%. The results of speed reading skills in cycle II have exceeded the specified target. Based on the results of observations made, data were obtained that showed success in improving speed reading skills and increasing student’s understanding in the learning process using the Skimming technique. Thus, it can be concluded that the Skimming technique is able to improve the speed reading skills of 5th grade students in one of the public elementary schools in Kecamatan Sumber, especially in the text contained in digital newspapers, in addition to increasing speed reading skills, there is also a better change in the attitudes of participants students as a form of habituation of discipline in speed reading activities and implemented in other activities in the learning process.

Abstract

The ability to write explanatory text is a process of expressing ideas and thoughts written in the form of sentences based on facts and phenomena that occur so that the reader knows the information. The purpose of this study was to describe students' ability to write explanatory texts in grade VI elementary school students using the aid of media images, explain students' obstacles in writing explanatory texts and find solutions given to overcome students who are less able to write explanatory texts. The type of method used in this research is to use a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The sample of class VI Elementary School students is 32 people. The research technique is by tests, observations, and interviews. The assessment guide includes aspects of the suitability of the theme with the content, text structure, use of language, and punctuation. Based on the research results obtained an average of 69.75. The suitability of the theme with content is 18.28, text structure is 21.00, language use is 15.24, and punctuation is 15.23. The lowest score is in the use of language and punctuation. Students still do not understand the use of punctuation marks in a sentence, and the use of language is not yet structured, because students lack confidence, lack knowledge, and language in making an essay.
