Mathematical Literacy Skills of Junior High School Students Through Blended Learning Based on Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education Approach

Abstract

This type of research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aims to describe students’ mathematical literacy skills through blended learning based on the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education Approach. This research was conducted in SMP Negeri 40 Palembang and the research subjects were 7 graders with a total of 35 students. The implementation procedure in this study consisted of three stages, namely the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the data analysis stage. Data collection techniques in this study were observation, test, and interviews. Observation is used to know the implementation of learning through blended learning based on Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education Approach (PMRI), test is used to determine students' mathematical literacy skills, and interviews is used to confirm the results of the tests that students had done. Based on the results of research representative with three student subjects, the component that most often appears is communication and using the language of symbol operations, formal and technical. Communication is seen when students writing statements about information from a problem and when students presenting the results obtained. Using the language of symbol operations, formal and technical, that is when students using formal forms based on mathematical definitions and rules.
