It’s not easy to teach mathematics. Student at university also find many difficulties when they learning math. Prof.Ir.RMJT.Soehakso divided type of learning become Moore type and Eilenberg style. Moore gives the student challenges to solve, on the other hand Eilenberg give clarity to student. Moore challenge the student’s intelligent and Eillenberg approach the student’s heart.

There are some obstacles when learn math such as the understanding of the theory, how to use it in our daily life, the environment that think math is difficult, and the facilities that not support the teaching learning process. And there are some difficulties that found by the teacher such as the different ability of the students, how to make the student learn seriously, also how to develop the method and the media of teaching learning math. These obstacles and the difficulties when learn math, make student not too interest to learn math.

Truthfully, math is activity to find the pattern and the relation (between one case with the other case), math is creativity that needs imagination and intuition, math is activity to solve the problem, math is tool of communication. With this reality, the teachers must try to manage the teaching learning process.

There are reality why student learn mathematics such as student will learn math if they have given motivation, student learn by their own way, the student learn independently and cooperatively, and the most important student needs different context and various situations when they learn.

So, how to make the student interest to learn math?

We need innovation learning math. Now learn math should be:

· student centered (active student/democratic),

· learn math as the awareness or daily need, not as the obligation,

· the method that used to teach is not only expository but discussion and the other methods,

· the teacher have role as developer of curriculum and be the facilitator,

· and also change the characteristic of math become the lesson that will be fun to learn.

PENDEKATAN MATEMATIKA REALISTIK PADA PEMBELAJARAN PECAHAN DI SMP

By: Dr. Marsigit, M.A. Reviewed by: Kholida Agustin As we know, that realistic mathematics emphasizes to construct the context of concrete thing as first point (impression) for the student to get the concept of mathematics. The concrete thing is manipulated by the student to support the students’ effort in change the concrete thing to abstract one. The student need to given a chance so they can construct and product mathematics by their own language. The standard competence in junior high school that related with fraction learning has the aim to make the student understand about operation properties and how to use it to solve the problem. The development of realistic problem that related with the fraction form such as the fraction and its form, simple fraction, change the fraction that numerator bigger than denumerator become “campuran” fraction, compare the fraction, order the fraction, etc. Reflect from that activity so in the learning fraction by learning mathematics r...

KEGIATAN PENELITIAN SEBAGI USAHA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PROFESIONALISME GURU MATEMATIKA

By: Dr. Marsigit, MA Reviewed by: Kholida Agustin   Research can be define as an activity to get knowledge, were done by certain procedures that systematically and support by methodology. Teacher as researcher can make a change in mathematics teaching learning in the school by various experiments, so it has result science method. Truthfully, contemporary mathematics education research is mathematics research education that the researcher have awareness about how important understanding truthfully of mathematics, mathematics in school, mathematics education, learn mathematics theory, etc. The view about the truth and mathematics character in school will give whole characteristic of mathematics. It has assumed that there are still many students that not like mathematics. There are some characteristics of mathematics such as: pure mathematics, applied mathematics and mathematics in school. In order to develop student competences, assumption about the student characterist...

MATHEMATICS TEACHING ACROSS MULTICULTURAL CONTEXT

By : Kholida Agustin (09301241011) Department of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Yogyakarta State University A.     Introduction   A Mathematics still becomes scary subject for student. Improper teaching method that used by the teacher make student confuse and not have any desire to learn mathematics further. The students are prosecuted to always develop their knowledge and their ability in mathematics. On the other hand, the teacher also prosecuted to improve their teaching skill. There is opinion, “if we want to improve the student’s ability, we must improve the teacher skill first”. This opinion should be advice for the teacher to become better teacher in the future. Teaching mathematics in school should be has suit approaches to make the student improve correctly, suit with world development. The development of technology makes this world feel tighter. The student can learn by their selves by other friend or ...
