THE EFFECT OF A REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION ON THE PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY OF MATHEMATICS

SUMMARY

This study aims to determine the positive effect of using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) model on the learning outcomes of problem-solving math story problems for second-grade students of SDN 03 Pelang. The lack of students understanding of the issue of the story problems and imagining the problems in story questions is not optimal. The RME model will provide students with authentic experiences and opportunities to construct mathematical knowledge. The type of research conducted is experimental research. The design used in this study is quasi-experimental in the form of a nonequivalent control group design. The subjects in this study were second-grade students of SDN 03 Pelang. The data collection technique in this research is in the form of a test (description). While the data analysis techniques include analysis of instrument trials, prerequisite tests, and hypothesis testing. The results showed a significant effect of the RME learning model on the problem-solving ability of students' story problems between the experimental and control groups. So, the RME makes students actively participate in learning so that students' problem-solving skills are achieved optimally.

UNA ESTRATEGIA DIDÁCTICA PARA LA COMPRENSIÓN DE LOS CONTENIDOS MATEMÁTICOS PARA ESTUDIANTES NO HISPANOHABLANTES / A DIDACTIC STRATEGY FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF MATHEMATICAL CONTENT FOR NON-SPANISH-SPEAKING STUDENTS UNA ESTRATEGIA DIDÁCTICA PARA LA COMPRENSIÓN DE LOS CONTENIDOS MATEMÁTICOS PARA ESTUDIANTES NO HISPANOHABLANTES / A DIDACTIC STRATEGY FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF MATHEMATICAL CONTENT FOR NON-SPANISH-SPEAKING STUDENTSObjetivo: Validar los resultados obtenidos en la aplicación de laestrategia didáctica para el mejoramiento de la comprensión de los contenidos matemáticos en los estudiantes no hispanohablantes del curso preparatorio de la Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo con estudiantes no hispanohablantes del curso preparatorio y profesores de Matemática desde  curso 2016-17 hasta diciembre de 2018. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos, empíricos y estadísticos para definir conceptos, operacionalizar y medir variables, resumir, caracterizar a estudiantes y profesores  según indicadores y valorar los resultados.Resultados: Se obtuvo una definición para la comprensión de los contenidos matemáticos y para sus niveles, un instrumento para el diagnóstico inicial que mide dominio de los contenidos matemáticos y los niveles de comprensión, tareas docentes para diferentes niveles, glosario de términos interactivo y hojas de trabajo con voz, la página Web de departamento WebMate, cuatro foro debate, actualización de documentos metodológicos, una estrategia didáctica con acciones para profesores, estudiantes y grupo según tipo de clases, instrumentos para evaluar la estrategia en estudiantes y profesores. Se participó en eventos nacionales e internacionales y se realizaron 14 publicaciones con los principales resultados en memorias y revistas de impacto y 7 profesores cambiaron de categoría docente.Conclusiones: La estrategia didáctica aplicada posibilitó la superación del claustro y la incorporación de estudiantes como investigadores, demostró su viabilidad para la comprensión de los contenidos matemáticos en estudiantes no hispanohablantes del curso preparatorio.ABSTRACTObjective: To validate the results obtained in the application of the didactic strategy for the improvement of the understanding of the mathematical contents in non-Spanish-speaking students of the preparatory course of the Latin American School of Medicine.Materials and methods: A descriptive observational study was carried out with non-Spanish-speaking students of the preparatory course and mathematics teachers from the 2016-17 academic year to December 2018. Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were used to define concepts, operationalize and measure variables, summarize, characterize students and teachers according to indicators and assess the results.Results: A definition was obtained for the understanding of mathematical content and for its levels, an instrument for the initial diagnosis that measures mastery of mathematical content and levels of understanding, teaching tasks for different levels, an interactive glossary of terms and worksheets. work with voice, the WebMate department website, four discussion forums, updating of methodological documents, a didactic strategy with actions for teachers, students and group according to type of classes, instruments to evaluate the strategy in students and teachers. Participation in national and international events and 14 publications were made with the main results in impact reports and journalsand 7 teachers changed their teaching category.Key words: didactic strategy comprensin, content, mathematical comprension.
