REFLECTION OF HERMENEUTICS OF LIFE


HERMENEUTICS OF LIFE

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.
