EFEKTIVITAS PENDEKATAN REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (RME) BERBANTUAN APLIKASI EDMODO TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIS SISWA

Abstract

The ability to solve problems, especially in mathematics, is needed by students. The reality in the field shows that the students' mathematical problem solving abilities are still low. One of the efforts to overcome this problem is by applying the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach with the aid of Edmodo application. The research objective was to determine whether or not the Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) approach was used with the aid of Edmodo application on problem-solving abilities in the arithmetic sequence and series material in class X SMK Negeri 1 Sindang. The type of research method used is the experimental method, with normality test and one-sample t-test. The test site was conducted at SMK Negeri 1 Sindang. Sampling was done by using the Cluster Random Sampling technique by drawing, so that the sample from this study was class X TKJ 2. After the students carried out the learning process by applying the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach assisted by Edmodo application, the learning outcomes of students' mathematical problem solving abilities were obtained. with a maximum score of 92 and a minimum score of 0 with an average score of 53.83. Because t count = 3.13 is greater than t table = 1.69 then reject, meaning that the use of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach assisted by Edmodo application is effective in achieving the target of students' mathematical problem solving abilities in arithmetic sequences and series material.
