Investigasi Kemampuan Problem Solving dan Problem Posing Matematis Mahasiswa Via Pendekatan Realistic

Abstract

Mathematical problem solving and problem posing skill are the mathematical skills that need to be owned by students. By having this skill, students can be more creative in expressing ideas by connecting the knowledge that they held previously. But in reality, there are some students who are lack of problem solving skill; therefore it is really important to improve learning through appropriate approach. Realistic approach had been chosen as the learning theory to be applied in the class. This study has the objective to find out whether the use of realistic approach enhances students' mathematical problem solving and problem posing skills. The research methodology used in this study is a quantitative research. The instrument used diagnostic tests (pre-test and post-test); and questioner. The results of this study, the mathematical problem solving and problem posing skills students tend to increase. Recommendations for other researchers are do the research of mathematical problem solving and problem posing skills in other populations, especially prospective teachers
