Realistic-science, technology, engineering, and mathematics assisted by google classroom as a learning innovation in the new normal era to improve statistical thinking skill

Abstract

Based on government policies regarding the implementation of learning from home, it is necessary the learning innovation to continue learning in the new normal era by utilizing existing technological advances. In this digital era, statistics thinking is important because it is needed to be able to interpret and understand and make good decisions from the statistical data obtained. From these problems, one of the innovations that can be done is by implementing Realistic Mathematics Education integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics assisted by Google Classroom (R-STEM-GC). This paper aims to determine the effect of R-STEM-GC learning on students’ statistical thinking skills. This paper uses literature review method research that identifies, assesses, and interprets all findings on a research topic to answer existing research questions. It can concluded that realistic learning was more effective in terms of students’ mathematical reasoning and communication than conventional learning; learning with the application of STEM can improve students’ problem solving abilities compared to conventional learning; and the use of google classrooms that can improve communication skills. From the results of this analysis, the application of R-STEM-GC learning can be an innovative solution in improving students’ statistical thinking skills in new normal era.
