Implementation of the RME Cooperative Learning Model with the Assistance of Teaching Aids to Improve Mathematics Learning Outcomes on the Circumference of Circles in Fifth Grade at SD Negeri 2 Sepanjang Gondanglegi Malang

Abstract

This study aims to determine student learning outcomes using the RME cooperative learning model with the aid of teaching aids. The implementation of the RME cooperative learning model with the aid of teaching aids is expected to improve mathematics learning outcomes. This study used classroom action research (CAR) through four steps: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques included student learning outcomes, teacher observations, and student observations. The subjects were 20 fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 2 Sepanjang. In this study, it is said to be successful if the learning outcomes of at least 75% of students obtain a score of ≥ 75. The results of the study show that the average learning completion of students in the Pre-cycle was 66.45 and those who achieved the KKM were 8 children or 40% and those who had not completed learning were 12 children or 60%. In cycle I, the average value was 85.8 and those who achieved the KKM were 15 children or 75% and those who had not completed learning were 5 children or 25%. In cycle II, the average value was 88.3 and those who achieved the KKM were 19 children or 95% and those who had not completed learning were 1 child or 5%. Thus, the application of the RME cooperative learning model assisted by teaching aids can improve mathematics learning outcomes on the circumference of a circle material in class V of SD Negeri 2 Sepanjang, Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency. Based on data at the pre-cycle stage, learning cycles I and II showed an increase in student learning outcomes.
