Abstract

This research was motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in Mathematics subject, Fractions. The purpose of this research is to describe student learning outcomes, determine teacher and student activities, and to determine student responses to the application of the Realistic Mathematical Eduction (RME) model to time unit material. The approach used in this research is qualitative research with the type of classroom action research. The subjects in this research were 21 Class III students. Data collection techniques used in this research were tests, interviews, observations and field notes. Data analysis techniques include student learning outcomes, teacher activities and student responses. The research results obtained (1) by applying the Realistic Mathematical Eduction (RME) model can increase student learning outcomes in fraction material obtained from the final test results of cycle I which were 45% complete and increased in cycle II to 89.47 and experienced an increase of 44 .47%. (2) can increase the activity of teachers and students in accordance with the results of observations observed by observers. In cycle I, teacher activity was obtained with a percentage of 76.66% and increased in cycle II to 91.33%, student activity in cycle I was obtained with a percentage of 74, 66% and increased in cycle II to 89.33%. (3) students' responses to the Realistic Mathematical Eduction (RME) learning model are very good because they can interact with their group friends and students are enthusiastic about learning because the class atmosphere is fun.
