Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of implementing a realistic mathematics education approach (PMR) on mathematics learning outcomes and self-confidence of grade VII students at SMP Negeri 4 Takalar. The type of research to be used is quantitative research with quasi-experimental methods. The classes to be studied are class VII B as the experimental class and class VII A as the control class. Data collection was carried out by providing instruments in the form of a pretest and self-confidence questionnaire to obtain initial data on students 'mathematics learning outcomes and self-confidence tests, then instruments in the form of posttest, and self-confidence questionnaires to obtain final data on students' mathematics learning outcomes and self-confidence. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25 program, which consists of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, gain analysis, prerequisite tests, and hypothesis testing. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is an effect of implementing a realistic mathematics education approach on mathematics learning outcomes and students' self-confidence.
