Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the learning process with the approach of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), which can increase the motivation to learn mathematics student in materials Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables on VIII-C students of SMP IT Ash-Shadhili. This research was a Classroom Action Research consisting of four stages, namely planning, action, observation and reflection. In the RME approach, teachers initiate learning by giving realistic problems. Students are asked to understand the problem and then solve it by discussing based on their knowledge and experience on teacher guidance. Students are then asked to discuss and compare answers through presentation activities during class discussions. Teachers motivate students to ask questions, give feedback or feedback. At the end of the learning the students are given the opportunity to deduce the material they have learned. The results showed that the RME approach learning can increase student motivation. This was proven by the percentage of observation results of students' learning motivation classically reached 83.33%, while the average percentage of observation results every meeting of two observers reached 80.37% in either category.
