The Influence Of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) Approach On Students’ Mathematical Communication Ability

Abstract

Mathematical communication ability are one of the learning goals, but in reality, student's communication ability are still weak.This research aims compare mathematical communication ability between the students who taught using RME approach and who were taught using conventional approach according to their self-efficacy.Quasi experimental research was conducted at SMP Negeri 5 Kerinci, involving eighth grade students.Data were collected through questionnaires and tests.The results showed that students' mathematical communication ability was higher when they are taught using RME approach than taught using conventional approach both to students who have high self-efficacy and vice versa.
