Abstract
This study aims to determine the differences in the enhancement in mathematical literacy skills between students who get learning with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and students who get regular learning. This study was is a quasi-experimental with nonequivalent control group design. The population of this study were all eighth grade students of one of the MTs Negeri in Bandung in the 2018/2019 academic year. Sample of this research was two classes as experiment class amounted to 32 students and control class amounted to 32 students with using purposive sampling technique. The instrument used is a test of mathematical literacy skills. The results showed that there are differences in the enhancement of mathematical literacy skills between students who studied with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and students who studidusing regular learning.
