摘要:The aims of this study are ; (1) students 'mathematical critical thinking abilities through the Realistic Mathematics Education approach, (2) students' Quotient Adversity through the Realistic Mathematics Education approach, and (3) difficulties in critical thinking experienced by students in solving mathematical problems through approaches Realistic Mathematics Education. Research subjects class VII-I of SMP Negeri 3 Stabat totaling 32 students. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The instruments of this study were tests of mathematical critical thinking skills, ARP (Adversity Response Profile) and interview guidelines. Data analysis was performed using the Miles and Huberman models. The results showed: (1) Students 'mathematical critical thinking abilities through the Realistic Mathematics Education approach showed 25% were in the low category. Then the moderate category were 11 students or 34.375%. Furthermore for the high category there were 13 students or 40.625% (2) Adversity Quotient students through the Realistic Mathematics Education approach that as many as 18 students are in the range of Adversity Quotient classified as Climber, as many as 6 students with the criteria for transitioning Camper to Climber, then 8 students for the Camper criteria with a percentage of 25%, and subsequently there are no students with respectively the criteria for switching from Quitter to Camper or Quitter (3) difficulties experienced by students in solving mathematical problems through the Realistic Mathematics Education approach have difficulty understanding concepts, difficulties in applying principles, and also difficulties in verbal matters.
