Several studies documented that mathematics, as it is taught in general secondary education, is far away from what is needed for most fields of vocational practice. Some studies found that workplace mathematics demands are very different from traditional mathematics taught in classrooms. Therefore, this study aims to design a learning trajectory for teaching mathematics in vocational college, oriented on the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach to improve students’ understanding and motivation in learning mathematics. Design research was chosen as an appropriate method to answer the research questions and achieve the research goals. Design research methods consist of three phases, namely preliminary design, experiment, and retrospective analysis. The research result shows that the learning trajectory can improve students’ understanding. Students enjoy the learning process and give a very enthusiastic response.

Geometry is an essential subject for students. However, geometry, especially the cone, remains a challenging material for students. Besides, we need the proper media and context for learning mathematics on cone material. This research aims to develop a learning trajectory that utilizes the Megono Gunungan tradition as a context in the learning process using the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach. The research method used is Design Research, which consists of three phases of the study: preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective study. This study's outcome is designing a learning trajectory on cone material using the Megono Gunungan tradition. This learning trajectory comprises four activities, including observing the interactive video of the Megono Gunungan tradition to discover cone elements, finding the concept surface area of a cone using origami paper, and grasping the cone concept volume with magic seeds, and solving contextual problems related to the cone. Studies have shown that using the Megono Gunungan context could help students improve their understanding of the cone concept. Furthermore, this study hoped could be an inspiration for exploring another local wisdom that can be a context in learning mathematics.

The topic of the set is a basic concept in mathematics and its relationship is close to our daily life. However, some studies in Indonesia have found that the students have difficulties in solving the set problem. This can be due to the pattern of mathematics teaching in schools. This study aims to provide a design of learning in the set topic with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach. The research questions are: (1) How is the design of mathematics learning in the topic of the set using the RME approach? (2) How do students learn the topic of the set by using the RME approach? This research method is design research with one cycle in SMP Dasana Indah Tangerang. The subjects were 24 students with one focus group, 5 students who had no errors in the initial test. Data of research obtained from sound recording, video, photos, and Student Activity Sheet, then be analyzed by comparing the Hypothesis of Trajectory Learning and Trajectory of Actual Learning. This study produces the Theory of Local Instruction, with four lessons, namely: (1) Determining the set and not the set; (2) Finding the concept of set of universe, subsets, empty set, and describing the models; (3) Finding the concept of intersection, union, and illustrating the models; (4) Find the concept of complement, difference, and describe the models, and use the models to solve the story problem. In the learning process, through grouping games and describe the model, student learning the notion of set enthusiastically and actively. Keywords: design research, set, realistic mathematics education approach

Mathematical learning not only produces students who succeed in mathematical and procedural calculations but also develops religious thinking. Realistic mathematics education with the context of Islamic values makes students can imagine, which is one of the right ways to develop the skills of students’ creativity, collaboration, and communication. This study aims to describe the learning trajectory that can help students understand integers with a realistic mathematics education approach based on Islamic values. It is hoped that student responses are positive, meaningful, and enjoyable. This research uses the design research method, which is a form of a qualitative approach. There are three stages in this research, namely: preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective analysis. The results showed that the Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT) trial with an Islamic value-based context showed significant progress based on student responses. Initially, students had difficulty understanding integers, but they felt delighted to follow the learning process along with the habituation. The HLT technique used in habituation was through pilot experiments, followed by teaching experiments. Students respond very positively and are happy to follow it by seeing the very significant development of their abilities during the learning process.

Intersection and union concepts are crucial part of operation in sets, especially in solving word problems and creating the venn diagram. In fact, not a few students do fallacies in representing sets word problems into a sets operation, so they do mistakes in solving the problems. This study aims to investigate students’ thinking in learning intersection and union concept, specifically by using colored cards. The learning is designed under Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and the principle used is emergent modeling. The method used in this study is design research. The subjects of this study is 25 students of the 7th grade junior high school, in which five of them were the focused group. The main findings in this study are description of students’ thinking while learning union and intersection using colored cards in the class, and any kinds of students’ ‘diagram venn’models. Keywords: design research, intersection, realistic mathematics education, union, venn diagram

An essential part of learning transformation geometry is rotation. Before learning more about other parts of the transformation geometry topic, such as translation, dilation, and reflection, firstly, students are required to understand well about rotation. However, several students have not been able to understand this subject properly due to the stages of learning in the rotation has not been appropriately arranged. Thus, this study aims to design a student learning trajectory in learning rotation, which develop from informal to formal level through the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (IRME) approach. Furthermore, researchers used a design research method divided into three stages, namely preliminary design, design experiments, and retrospective analysis. This study describes how the bamboo woven motif contributes significantly to 31 ninth-grade students understanding the rotation concept. As a result, the woven bamboo motif's context can stimulate students' understanding of rotation. It is proven based on the strategies and models of students during their learning process which contributes to their fundamental knowledge of rotation.
