Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine if there are differences in students’ mathematical critical thinking ability based on their past mathematical knowledge and self-efficacy. This is a quasi- experimental study employing the Realistic Mathematics Education method (experimental class) and the Contextual Teaching and Learning method (control class). The subjects of the study were eighth- grade students from SMPN 1 Sirenja and SMPN 2 Sirenja during the 2020–2021 academic year. The results of the study indicate that: (1) there is no difference between the Realistic Mathematics Education approach and the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach in students’ mathematical critical thinking skills; (2) there is no difference between the Realistic Mathematics Education approach and the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach in the mathematical critical thinking ability of students with high prior knowledge of mathematics; (3) There is no difference in the mathematical critical thinking ability of students with low prior knowledge of mathematics between the Realistic Mathematics Education and Contextual Teaching and Learning approaches; (4) There is no difference in the mathematical critical thinking ability of students with high self-efficacy between the Realistic Mathematics Education and Contextual Teaching and Learning approaches; (5) There is no difference in the mathematical critical thinking ability of students with low self- efficacy between Realistic Mathematics Education and Contextual Teaching and Learning; (6) There is no interaction between students’ prior knowledge of mathematics and the learning approach to mathematical critical thinking skills; and (7) there is no interaction between students’ self-efficacy and learning a mathematical critical thinking skill.
