Experimental study shows improved critical thinking skills in seventh-grade students using realistic mathematics education approach, highlighting its effectiveness.
Key Points
Students using the realistic mathematics education method showed higher critical thinking skills, indicating an effective learning strategy.
The average critical thinking score for the experimental class was 76.84, compared to 72.75 for the control class, revealing a significant difference.
This research employed an experimental quantitative research method with random sampling across two seventh-grade classes to gather data.
The findings suggest that the realistic mathematics education approach may enhance student engagement and performance in mathematics.
