Implementation of Realistic Mathematics Education in Indonesia

Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore how Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) has been applied within the Indonesian context. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, the study involves the identification, examination, critical evaluation, and interpretation of scholarly articles from multiple perspectives. The data set comprises 15 peer-reviewed international publications sourced from the Scopus database through the Publish or Perish tool, covering the period from 2005 to 2022. These articles originate from a range of countries, including Indonesia, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Turkey, Greece, Norway, the United States, and Italy. The study examines the application of RME across different nations, with a particular focus on Indonesia, and identifies the key elements that facilitate its implementation. Findings indicate that the integration of RME in Indonesia contributes to improving students’ conceptual understanding.
