Realistic Mathematics Education (RME): Implementation of Learning Models for Improving HOTS-Oriented Mathematics Problem-Solving Ability

The results of students' still-inadequate capacity to solve mathematical problems with a focus on HOTS encouraged this study. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) learning model is one strategy for enhancing competence in area. This research aims determine whether or not eighth-graders at State Junior High School the Boyolali district Central Java, Indonesia, can improve their problem-solving skills mathematics by using RME paradigm. Action classroom what we call it. Data gathered through testing, observing, taking field notes, and documenting. Additionally, triangulation methods will be used verify accuracy data. was collected both direct observation standardised testing. Problem-solving indicator values, sheets, recommendations data interpretation are among devices employed. analysis shows that teaching improves problems. evidenced fact all indications have been met: There four stages any process: 1) analysis, 2) planning, 3) execution, 4) reflection (checking interpreting).
