- Abstract
Teacher’s cleverness strongly determines the maximum achievement of learning outcomes in applying suitable learning models and approaches that relevant to the concept is being learned. This study aims to assess the effect of the Treffinger learning model using the principles of RME on mathematics learning outcomes by controlling the abilities of numerical students. The subject of study is fifth-grade students of elementary schools in Manggarai regency using the post-test only control group design of the experiment. This study involved 101 fifth grade students as a sample using a random sampling technique. The instruments were items test of mathematics learning outcome and numerical ability test. Data were analyzed by using ANCOVA aided by SPSS 23.0 program. The results showed that: 1) student mathematics learning outcomes using the Treffinger learning model with the principle of RME was higher than using conventional models. 2) student mathematics learning outcomes using the Treffinger learning model with higher principle RME compared to using conventional learning models. 3) numerical ability provides a 20.5% contribution to student mathematics learning outcomes. These findings show that the Treffinger learning model with RME principles has a significant effect on the students’ learning outcomes. Mathematics teachers should use this model for developing student mathematics learning outcomes.
