As part of the project Design, Development and Assessment in Mathematics Education, I spent four weeks at Whitnall High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, testing a booklet on descriptive statistics called Data Visualization (Freudenthal Institute 1989). This textbook was developed in 1989 by the Freudenthal Institute's Research Group on Mathematics Education of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands in cooperation with Gail Burrill of Whitnall High School. Especially written for this project, the booklet is based on the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989) and on the philosophy of “realistic mathematics education” developed by the research group of Utrecht University.

This research-activity project was funded jointly by the National Center for Research in Mathematical Sciences Education (NCRMSE) at the University of Wisconsin- Madison and the Research Group on Mathematics Education at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. The project focused on an approach to classroom instruction in relation to the NCTM's curriculum and evaluation standards. Two sets of materials for students and teachers- Data Visualization and Matrices- were developed in The Netherlands and were used by all students in all algebra classes at Whitnall High School in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Observations and interviews were conducted by an observer from the center at Utrecht.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan produk berupa perangkat pembelajaran bangun ruang SMP dengan pendekatan pendidikan matematika realistik yang valid, praktis, dan efektif ditinjau dari ketercapaian kompetensi dasar, kemampuan koneksi matematis, dan minat terhadap matematika. Jenis penelitian adalah penelitian pengembangan menggunakan model 4-D yang terdiri atas empat tahap yaitu tahap pendefinisian, perancangan, pengembangan, dan tahap penyebaran. Hasil penelitian berupa perangkat pembelajaran bangun ruang yang terdiri dari silabus, RPP, LKS, dan tes hasil belajar berupa tes ketercapaian kompetensi dasar (TKKD) dan tes kemampuan koneksi matematis (TKKM) yang valid, praktis, dan efektif. Kevalidan perangkat mencapai kategori sangat baik ditinjau dari penilaian ahli. Kepraktisan perangkat mencapai kategori sangat baik ditinjau dari penilaian guru, penilaian siswa, dan observasi keterlaksanaan pembelajaran. Aspek keefektifan dipenuhi dari tercapainya minimal 80% siswa lulus KKM ditinjau dari ketercapaian kompetensi dasar dan kemampuan koneksi matematis, serta lebih dari 80% siswa mempunyai minat terhadap matematika dalam kategori minimal baik.Kata Kunci: pengembangan, perangkat pembelajaran, pendekatan pendidikan matematika realistik, bangun ruang SMP DEVELOPING SPACE LEARNING KIT IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WITH REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION APPROACH AbstractThis research aimed to produce space learning kits with realistic mathematics education approach in Junior High School which valid, practical, and effective viewed from achievement of basic competence, mathematical connection ability, and mathematics interest. This research was development research used 4-D model that consisted of four phases: defining, designing, developing, and  disseminating. This research produced space learning kit that consisted of syllabus, lesson plans, students’ worksheets, and assessment tests that included test of basic competence achievement and mathematical connection test which valid, practical, and effective. The validity of learning kit get very good category from expert assessment. The practicallity of learning kit get very good category from teachers assessment, students assessment, and observation of learning implementation. The aspect of effectiveness was seen from achievement minimum 80% of the student pass the minimum score for achievement of basic competence and mathematical connection skill, and more than 80% of student have mathematics interest in least good category.Keywords: development, learning kit, realistic mathematics education, space

<span lang="EN">This research aims to design student learning activities on the concept of sets, especially operations on the sets. The research was conducted by using design research method with a mathematics realistic education approach. The subjects of this study are 42 students of mathematics education at the University of Papua taking lecture of realistic mathematics education. There are three stages in the implementation of this research, namely preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective analysis. The results of the study show that the use of game "Lemon Nipis" can develop students' understanding significantly to the concept of operations on the sets. </span><span lang="EN-US">students are able to understand well and correctly basic operations on the sets, union, intersection, and exponentiation.</span>

The Mathematics in Contrat (MiC) project is an NSF-funded project carried out by the University of Wisconsin—Madison and the Freudenthal institute of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The purpose of the MiC project is to create a comprehensive mathematics curriculum for grades 5 through 8 that reflects the content and pedagogy suggested by the NCTM's Curriculum amd Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989). The materials being developed are based on the beliefs that mathematics should make sense to students and that mathematics is used to make sense of the world around us. The philosophy is based on the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), as developed at the Freudenthal Institute in the past decades, and on the belief that mathematics is fallible, changing, and, like any other body of knowledge, the product of human inventiveness. In the MiC project, the content is organized into four combined strands—number, algebra, geometry, and statistics and probability. Over forty instructionl units spread out over the four strands have been developed.
