Abstract

This research aims to improve mathematics learning on the topic of plane geometry through a realistic mathematics approach of the 5th-grade students of SD Inpres Japing, Gowa Regency. This study is classroom action research proposed by Kemmis and Mc. Taggart consists of 2 cycles. The research subjects were 31 students of the 5th grade of SD Inpres Japing, Gowa Regency. The research data were obtained from observation and learning test results. The success indicator to be achieved is that students are said to be complete in learning if they get a score of 73 (Minimum Completeness Criteria), while classical completeness is said to be achieved if 75% of all students in the class reach the MCC score. The data were analyzed using quantitative statistical analysis. The results showed that a realistic mathematical approach to learning mathematics of the topic of flat shapes could improve the learning outcomes of 8th-grade students of SD Inpres Japing, where the average score of students’ mathematics learning outcomes were 65.58, 66.88, and 80.22 in pre-action, cycle1, and cycle 2, respectively.
