Design of Worksheets for RME Model to Improve Mathematical Communication

Abstract

Students in mathematics learning activities must have mathematical communication skills. They are using mathematical concepts to contextual problems so that understanding is more meaningful and links mathematics learning with other learning topics. Student worksheets are one of the teaching materials that summarize the material and study guides that are in accordance with the competencies. The purpose of this article is to develop the design of student worksheets to improve students' mathematical communication in learning activities with an RME approach. In its development, the ADDIE model was applied in this study, which consisted of four steps: first analysis, second design, third development, fourth implementation, and the fifth evaluation. The subjects of this study were students of Muhammadiyah 1 Yogyakarta Yogyakarta Vocational School. The instruments of data collection consist of interview guideline sheets, document sheets, and description sheets. Interview guideline sheets are used to obtain data in the curriculum and character of students, and document sheets are used to evaluate teaching materials, and description sheets are used to determine the improvement of students' mathematical communication. This data was analyzed using qualitative data analysis. This study resulted in the design of worksheets of students with RME approach to improve students' mathematical communication skills.
