The Influence of RME-Based Teaching Media Assisted by Pixton Application on Students' Mathematics Problem Solving Ability

Kemampuan pemecahan matematika siswa di Indonesia tergolong rendah, guru perlu menerapkan media pembelajaran yang dapat melatih kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa, yang salah satu media tersebut adalah media ajar berbasis RME (Realistic Mathematics Education) berbantuan aplikasi pixton. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh media ajar berbasis RME berbantuan aplikasi pixton terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode quasi eksperimen menggunakan desain The Pretest-Posttest Non-Equivalent Control Group, yang dilakukan di salah satu SMP Negeri Kota Palembang. Sampel yang digunakan yaitu siswa kelas VIII.6 sebanyak 33 orang dan siswa kelas VIII.2 sebanyak 31 orang, dengan menggunakan instrumen tes. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji-t dengan bantuan SPSS. Hasil analisis data diperoleh kesimpulan terdapat pengaruh media ajar berbasis RME berbantuan aplikasi pixton terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa.  Students' mathematical solving abilities in Indonesia are relatively low, teachers need to apply instructional media that can train students' mathematical problem-solving abilities, one of which is RME (Realistic Mathematics Education)-based teaching media assisted by the pixton application. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of RME-based teaching media assisted by the Pixton application on students' mathematical problem solving abilities. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental method using The Pretest-Posttest Non-Equivalent Control Group design, which was conducted at one of Palembang City Public Middle Schools. The samples used were 33 students in class VIII.6 and 31 students in class VIII.2, using a test instrument. Data analysis technique using t-test with the help of SPSS. The results of the data analysis concluded that there was an influence of RME-based teaching media assisted by the pixton application on students' mathematical problem solving abilities.
