Logical reasoning, RME approach, primary studentsAbstract
Primary school students are inadequate in using logical reasoning. Meanwhile, primary school students need logical reasoning to solve problems based on reasonable facts. The realistic mathematics education (RME) approach is thought to improve the logical reasoning of primary school students. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of RME approach on logical reasoning of primary school students. A quasi-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest was applied as the research design. Meanwhile, the research sample was taken from one of the public primary schools in Sidoarjo which was randomly selected. Data analysis techniques used descriptive and inferential. Meanwhile, the paired t-test result of 0.000 <0.05 provides evidence that there is indeed a relationship between the implementation of the RME approach and the improvement of logical reasoning of elementary school students. Thus, the RME approach has a significant effect on the logical reasoning of primary school students.
