- This research was part of research and development processes with the objective to produce a learning model for improving students’ mathematical connections in the Pengantar Dasar Matematika Course (PDM). The subjects of this research were first semester students of the Department of Mathematics Education, Nusantara Islamic University (Uninus) School of Education, in Bandung. In order to realize the objectives, the researcher employed the procedures based on Plomp (1997) which consisted of five steps as follows: 1) preliminary investigation, 2) design, 3) realization/construction, 4) test, evaluation, and revision, and 5) implementation. In the first phase, the researchers conducted an analysis on the problems. The second phase was intended to design the learning model. The third phase has resulted in the prototype 1 which was the contextual-based direct instruction model as developed previously in the second phase. The fourth phase consisted of two things as follows: validation and field implementation of the prototype 1. In the fifth phase, the model was implemented in real classroom setting. The product resulted in from this research was a contextual based direct instruction model intended for improving students’ mathematical connection in PDM. The syntax of the model was the following five steps: orientation, presentation, guided practice, correction and feedback, and independent practice. The contextual approached embodied in this model was implemented through four strategies as follows: making meaningful connections, self-regulated learning, nurturing the individual, and reaching high standards. This model has been declared to be an effective, valid, and practical in nature
