The Differences Between The Effect of Realistic Mathematics Learning Approach to Conventional Learning with The Students Mathematics Learning Outcomes in Junior High School of 38 Medan Grade VII

The purposes of this research were to know the effect of realistic mathematics learning approach and the conventional approach to the student learning outcomes on
fractional materials. This research type was true experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design). The object of this research was taken from the whole population in Junior High School of 38 Medan grade VII as many as six classes. Sample taking was done by simple sampling technique consisting of two classes, namely experiment and control class. The instrument
used in this research was description test method consisting of five questions. This research used t-test data analysis (one side test, right side). The research found that tscore > ttable it means H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted such that the effect of realistic mathematics learning approach effect was better than
the conventional approach to the students’ learning outcomes in Junior High School of 38 Medan grade VII on fractional materials. The implication of this research was by the realistic mathematics approach, the students were easily to understand more about the material and improve the results of learning mathematics on fractional materials.
