Abstract
This research is motivated by still have low ability of students mathematical understanding and lack of student independence in learning mathematics, to overcome these problems it is necessary to have an approach in learning. The alternative approach applied is the realistic mathematic educations approach. This study aims to determine and examine the mathematical understanding ability of junior high school students in one school in Cimahi. The research method used was experimental method in the form of pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this study were all seventh grade junior high school students in Cimahi, while the sample was seventh grade junior high school students in one of the Schools in Cimahi representing population characteristics. The data collection in this study uses a test type description and non-test that is a questionnaire. Then the data is processed using SPSS-16 and Microsoft Excel. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the mathematical understanding ability of junior high school students whose learning uses the Model-Eliciting Activities approach is better than that using conventional learning, student learning independence using realistic mathematic educations approache is better than those using conventional learning, and the implementation of learning using the Model approach -Electiting activities in the field are in accordance with the steps that make students more active in learning mathematics.
