INT MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
Ethnic of Yunani, Herme
introduced Hermeneutics Theory. In
Hermeneutics Theory believe that he can translate what God think. In Indonesia,
what we called Hermeneutics Theory can be represented by “sillaturahim”. Hermeneutics
Theory represented by two main concept.
They are straight line and circle. Straight line and circle are great
abstraction to image our life. Straight line means that we cannot replay our
past, because life always goes on. We just cannot stop the rotation of earth.
Then the abstraction of circle are like spiral or like sign the earth when rotate and revolute the
sun. Hermeneutics Theory is caused-effect relationship theory. For example
Hermeneutics in mathematics learning, relation of caused effect, theories and
practical or implementations. Life is how we translate and can be translated
activity and communication, because problems appear when people cannot
translate around them. It is same when we learn mathematics. We can success
learn mathematics when we can translate problems in mathematics.
Mathematics
consists of many type, start from valley to the top. And every type of
mathematics have certain characteristics. Students in elementary school should
not get mathematics in formal way, the just should to enjoy when they learn
mathematics. So better for educator in elementary school introduce mathematics
by simple way and interesting way. That is different with students in
university. They learn mathematics in formal way, and that’s should be. What
have to know by educators is wrong way when teach mathematics can cause
tsunami. Hmm, what a horrible. But that’s true. So when we want to teach
something to others, make sure that you really understand.
There
are many problems of Mathematics education in Indonesia. One of them is about
the way of teaching. There are two types of teaching. Traditional teaching and
innovative teaching. In traditional teaching, teacher just give all he have to
students, then students just accept what teacher give. Teacher don’t give any
chance to students to state their mind and creativity. What teacher give are
right, so students don’t need doubt about that. While in innovative teaching,
teachers give trust to students to explore their ability, students have chance
to state their mind, and develop their potency. Teachers just facilitate what
students need to increase their ability. That is what we called constructivism.
According
to Ebbut and Straker, mathematics is a search for pattern and relationship,
Mathematics is problem solving activity, Mathematics is mean of investigation,
and mathematics is a mean of communication. The school mathematics can be
applied to the students through follow some activity, identifying or describing
the specific mathematics, schematizing, formulating, and visualizing a problem in
different ways, discovering relations among mathematical concept, discovering
regularity arousing from the concept of “routine activities”, recognizing
isomorphic aspect in different problems, transferring a real world problem to a
mathematical formula, strived to prove regularities of consisting concept,
refined adjusting mathematical models, and performing vertical mathematical by
employing different models. Through that activity above the students can build
attitude mathematics by themselves.
From
above we can conclude that Hermeneutics make us realize that life is dynamic.
So, to reach the goal in our life we have to work hard, and of course in
learning mathematics.
