Comparison Analysis of the RME and Conventional Learning Model on Multiplication Material in The 2nd Grade of MI Ma’arif NU 1 Pageraji Using Software Aplication R

Abstract

The Mathematic objects are considered difficult by the 2^nd grade of MI Ma'arif NU 1 Pageraji students. That things may be the mathematic objects are taught by conventional method, so that they become no easy. However, they can easily to be understood if the learning is associated with the student’s real life. One of the methods that can be applied is RME learning model to facilitated the students. RME has six principles are: Activity (Doing) Constructivist, Reality (meaningful application-process), Understanding (find informal in context through reflection, informal to formal), Inter-twinment (interconnection between concepts), Interaction (learning as social activity, sharing), and Guidance (from teachers in discovery). RME is suitable for the 2^nd grade elementary school students, because of students are still in concrete phase, so that, students will understand the material being taught more easily.

This paper presents about the comparison of Conventional Learning Model (Lecture Model) with RME, which will be tested on multiplication materials in MI Ma'arif NU 1 Pageraji, Banyumas, and the results will be analyzed with using Software Application R.
