Pembelajaran aljabar di tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) sering menjadi tantangan karena sifatnya yang abstrak dan rendahnya keterlibatan siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keterlibatan siswa dalam pembelajaran Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) berbantuan e-modul pada materi aljabar di kelas VII SMPN 18 Banda Aceh. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif deskriptif dengan subjek enam siswa yang merepresentasikan kemampuan akademik tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi selama lima pertemuan berdasarkan tiga aspek keterlibatan: fisik, mental, dan emosional. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan siswa sangat tinggi dengan rata-rata keterlibatan fisik 99,42%, mental 94,51%, dan emosional 99,42%. Siswa dengan kemampuan tinggi menunjukkan keterlibatan 100% (fisik), 96,26% (mental), dan 100% (emosional); siswa dengan kemampuan sedang 99,13% (fisik), 93,86% (mental), dan 99,13% (emosional); serta siswa dengan kemampuan rendah 99,13% (fisik), 93,40% (mental), dan 99,13% (emosional). Pembelajaran RME berbantuan e-modul menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang interaktif melalui fitur interaktif e-modul, kerja kelompok, dan peran aktif guru.

Abstract Algebra learning at the junior high school level often poses challenges due to its abstract nature and low student engagement. This study aims to analyze student engagement in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) supported by e-modules on algebra material in Grade VII at SMPN 18 Banda Aceh. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method with six student participants representing high, medium, and low academic abilities. Data were collected through observations over five meetings, focusing on three aspects of engagement: physical, mental, and emotional. The results show that student engagement was very high, with average physical engagement at 99.42%, mental engagement at 94.51%, and emotional engagement at 99.42%. Students with high academic achievement showed 100% (physical), 96.26% (mental), and 100% (emotional) engagement; those with medium achievement had 99.13% (physical), 93.86% (mental), and 99.13% (emotional) engagement; while students with low achievement demonstrated 99.13% (physical), 93.40% (mental), and 99.13% (emotional) engagement. RME supported by e-modules created an interactive learning environment through interactive features in the e-modules, group collaboration, and active teacher guidance.
