Abstract

Learning outcomes are influenced by the process carried out during learning. The learning process is carried out by applying innovative learning models/approaches.This study aims to determine the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on the mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students at Siak Hulu Junior High School. Employing a development research design combined with a pseudo-experimental methodology, the research involved a population of six classes (VIII1 to VIII6). A purposive sampling technique was utilized, resulting in two selected classes: VIII3, comprising 32 students as the control group, and VIII4, also with 32 students, serving as the experimental group. The development phase produced a valid and practical student worksheet designed to facilitate the RME approach. The findings indicated that students who engaged with the RME approach demonstrated significantly better mathematics learning outcomes compared to those who experienced conventional teaching methods. Statistical analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the RME approach, suggesting that it not only enhances understanding but also improves overall performance in mathematics. This study concludes that the implementation of the RME approach positively influences the mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students in SMP 6 Kampar Regency, highlighting its potential as an effective pedagogical strategy in mathematics education. The research contributes to providing evidence for the adoption of realistic approaches in classroom settings to foster improved student engagement and achievement in mathematics. Recommendations for teachers to be encouraged to develop media and teaching materials that are contextualised and relevant to students' daily lives likes Trigonometry subject

Abstract

Numeracy is an important ability of students and a foundation for future success. This research aimed to develop instruments, evaluate, and compare students’ numeracy skills of 12 regencies of Riau Province, Indonesia. The research population was every junior high school student in Riau Province with 260,787 students. The research sample is made up of some students who were taken by multiple random sampling of 1,193 students. The data collection technique of this research was the survey approach, with the main instrument being a multiple-choice test. Eight analysis data were used in this research: content validity, Cronbach alpha reliability, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability construct, descriptive, and one-way ANOVA. The content validity analysis showed that 4 items have to be revised because of the ambiguous sentences. Cronbach alpha reliability was acquired at 0.872 with the accepted category. CFA analysis showed 19 indicators as constructs were valid categories. Overall, the numeracy skills of 12 regency students of Riau Province were not a good category. One-way ANOVA analysis showed there was a significant difference in students’ numeracy skills between 12 districts in Riau Province, with a significant value of 0.000.
