Abstract

Learning mathematics in elementary school should be oriented to the creation of activities that encourage the acquisition of an understanding of mathematical concepts more profound by the students. Based on observations and interviews conducted in SDN Sukosari 01 Bondowoso, it is known that teachers have many students actively involved in learning. The lack of use of methods or models of innovative learning in every learning math become one of the causes of low student learning activities that adversely affects the learning results. To overcome these problems is used Realistic Mathematics Approach (PMR) to enhance the activity and student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to describe the application of PMR on the subject of addition and subtraction of fractions to increase the activity and student learning outcomes in class V SDN Sukosari 01 Bondowoso at 2016/2017. This type of research is the Classroom Action Research conducted as many as two cycles and each cycle consisting of 2 meetings and 4 stages, including planning, implementation, observation and reflection. Data collection methods used in this research is observation, interviews, tests, questionnaires and documentation. Based on the analysis, the average percentage of students in the classical learning activities in the first cycle increased from 62.92% to 77.42%. In the second cycle, the average student learning outcomes also increased from 65.11 into 75.54. Based on these results, it can be seen that the implementation of PMR can increase the activity and student learning outcomes.
