THE NATURE OF STUDENT LEARN MATHEMATIC

Mathematic education in general it is about the relationship among mathematic education teaching and learning. Only few of can be concern in mathematic education. However , we must empower your self. Don’t be hesitate and must a wake up to make sure that we on the right task supporting by competency, facilities parent to achieve goal to became good mathematic teacher.

We need to understand both inside we self and outside we self.In older to live meaningful, we must fill our live so that our live are not blank. We must transform from children up to younger people.

Life can defined as characteristic,

• Aware of characteristic teacher always remind as an adult student not much depend on teacher.

• Adult doing anything based on understanding not based on other influence.

• Student must be complete lecture, teacher don’t like a traditional education that only depend on teacher and the only one sources teacher. However we can download video teaching learning of mathematic.

• As candidate of math teacher we must proud.

• Problem of mathematical education we are related gate between younger student and older people.

• Different of math for child younger student with symbol, for example: symbol x and y.

• We need to break the old paradigm about to teach math the right words are learning math.

• Study in improve our paradigm, for example: earnest in learning.

• Lear math student must be active to construct, not only the affairs adult people but everyone and the other students.

The difficult one is, how aspects of creating a different teacher with traditional teacher? Teacher should be able to make lesson plane, student work sheet. Sylabus breakdown by curriculum then implementing in teaching learning process in math. The poin one is interaction among the student.

IN DEEP THINKING ABOUT MATHEMATIC EDUCATION

We should indept thinking about mathematics education.Firstly, we should understand the differences between younger and adult.
 
A. Younger Student
               For younger student, they need something concrete materials.
      Example:
  1. Shown a picture,

 

      According to the mindset of younger student, the picture above is a picture of a                                                          ball that has been damaged.

2. There are two numbers are 4 and 7. Number 4 is written with a size greater than 7.

4                     7      

If asked to the younger student, the greater the number 4 or number 7? Then the younger will answer the larger the number 4 because the number 4 written by yan size larger.

3. There are pictures as follows:

                                   

                                    45^o

If asked to younger student, the picture above is an acute angle or obtuse angle? They will answer these angles are obtuse angle while the angle 45o.

4. A circle made of fine teak, with a radius of 15cm. Calculate the area!
If the question is addressed to younger student, then the answer that they would ask a circle made of fine teak wood was like what? Only then they will calculate the extent of

5. There it says "SELL mutton" which in pairs on the tree, the younger will think that the seller was in the tree.

B. Adult
        Thinking adults is different from thinking of younger student. Adults are able to think abstractly and to plan the program.
For adults,
1. Mathematics is the object thinks.
For example:

a. As in the example above that number 4 is smaller than 7, although the size of          the larger literary figure 4.

b. There is a matter of "A circle is made of fine teak, with a radius of 15cm. Calculate the area! For adults the circle made ​​of what it is not important, because without knowing the circle was made of what they can calculate the area of ​​the circle.

c. There it says "SELL mutton" which in pairs on the tree, adults still think that the seller is under a tree, not in trees.

2. Idealized
            Adults were idealized, meaning assume perfect existing properties. Adults are able to differentiate mathematics university with school mathematics.

a. Mathematics University
University mathematics is abstract, meaning that mathematics starts from the definitions and theorems. Theorem is used to facilitate in the calculation or solve a problem.

b.  School Mathematics
School mathematics starts from concrete objects that exist in everyday life.
For example:
Build cylinder in everyday life eg bottles or cans.
Build a cuboid in everyday life eg chalk box, cupboard.

According Ebutt and Straker, 1995, Tha mathematic nature of School:
1. Mathematic is a search for patterns and relationships.

Mathematics teaches us look for patterns or formulas to solve a problem.
2. Mathematic is problem solving activities.
    Once we find a pattern, we can solve problems in mathematics.
3. Mathematic is investigation activity.
4. Mathematic is a mean of communication.
     In mathematics we must know how to express ideas in mathematics or    express opinions in mathematics.

Charakteristic of student learn mathematic:
1. That's student activis (good motivation and no preparation.
    So in learning mathematics we must have the motivation that makes us the spirit of mathematics Study abroad, in addition we also have no preparation and are not easily give up in the face of challenges.
2. That's student is mathematic individualy.
     This means in learning mathematics must be our own, should not be represented.
3. That's the student in mathematic colaburation in other.
     In addition we learn mathematics itself, we also must cooperate with  friends. Can tangya the things we do not understand. So the man other than individualist also socialist.
4. That's the student learn mathematic in context.Simak

Mathematics Education

Mathematics is meaning full, we get it since at elementary school, jinior high school, senior high scool,and my be until graduate school, port graduate.

One’s problem of mathematics education is how to develop student attitude of behave. From time to time problem of systematic education is never changes that is how how to problem mathematics edocation to be innovative.

To make an innovative education is changes traditional teaching in to progressive teaching.

Characteristics of traditional teaching it was an learn is obligate, teacher just transfer knowledge and student become passive. And characteristics of progressive teaching, teacher have a role as facilitator, student may not feel forced in follow studiying, but student needs study, so student can be active in learning.

Indonesian school majority still applaying traditional system. We know that it is not innovative and can full the creativing of student .

Traditional system must be change to progressive teaching in order that student mindset can more progress and capable to compete with other country.

How To Prepare I my Self as Successful Student of Mathematic Education

The second lecture discuss about “How to prepare I my self as a successful student of mathematics aducation’’.

1. Motivation

To be success in mathematic education we must have motivation. Mathematic is a lessen play numbers needs ligic and careful. Mathematic need deep thinking and exercise more diligent if we want success it. We may not escape from problem in mathematic because we can’t finished it, But we must try fand follow the procee, so we can finished and fine a experience. There’s no success person without support from other people success person smart find support from other. We must also have believe to God, we always remind evering activity. Always pray to God in we life may not hopeless. Must brave foces problem and try for find who wanted have feling happy on doing their activity.

2. Attitude

In mathematic education attitude and wished must support if we want to be success. Between attitude and wished must be appropriate. We must support, may not feel bored in learning mathematics, more diligent doing exercise and always give question to person if we find difficult.

3. Knowledge

Attitude always want know that can be sources knowledge for us. We must also communication with other for find knowledge like shsring with friend or lecturer.

4. Skill

If want success in mathematics, We must smart playing and logic. Must find an new something who cand used many people. If we have talented in mathematics, we must have different skill from other.

5. Experience

Experience is the best teacher. We must learn from Experience. Follow activity who support for success in mathematic like olimpiade.
