ABSTRACT
The PISA results indicate that the average mathematics score of Indonesian students is below the OECD average, with one in four 15-year-old students categorized as low performers in mathematics, reading, and science. Therefore, one alternative solution is to implement the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach. This study aims to identify the impact of the RME approach on improving elementary school students' mathematics achievement. It addresses students' perceptions of difficulties in mathematics lessons, the tendency to merely memorize formulas, and limited understanding of mathematics learning, which lead to boredom and lack of comprehension. This research employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. From research articles published in SINTA 1-4 journals from 2015 to 2023, the articles discuss the Realistic Mathematics Education model's effect on mathematical problem-solving abilities.
