KREATIVITAS SISWA MELALUI PENDIDIKAN MATEMATIKA REALISTIK PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

This study aims to describe students' creativity in realistic Mathematics Learning during the covid-19 pandemic. The research approach used is qualitative with descriptive research. The subject of this research are students at UPTD SMPN 12 Sinjai. The research instruments used include observation sheets, questionnaire sheets and interview guidelines. Triangulation used in this research is triangulation with technique. While the data analysis technique uses data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that of the 4 research subjects who worked on 2 questions, it was found that all students answered correctly and correctly on question 1, but in question 2 most students answered incorrectly. This is due to a conceptual error in the application of mathematical formulas, some use the concept of a square area and a triangle area even though what is being asked in the problem is the combined perimeter of a square. So that most of the research subjects answered the questions incorrectly. So it can be concluded that realistic mathematics must first understand the basic mathematical concepts and then be able to realize the concepts.
