Peran Penelitian dalam Pengembangan Pendidikan Matematika

By : Prof. Dr. Marsigit, MA

Reflection By : iLania Eka Andari

I'm totally agree with the argument in this article.
The definition of research is the collection, processing, analysis, and presentation of data which is done systematically and objectively to solve a problem or to test a hypothesis to develop general principles. From the definision above, so we can conclude that the way the teacher searching for a new pattern is also a research. It's one of the example of the role of research in developing mathematics education.
Research in developing math education has an important role. As i say before,one of the example is research that doing by the teacher in order to get a new pattern to teach their student. Their teaching pattern is one of the most important factor that determine the success of the teaching that they do.
After they feel they already find a certain pattern to teaching, teacher should not stop to doing a research. They should doing a research again and again,to find the best pattern, so the teaching learning process that happen between teacher and student can become more active, innovative,and be better.

In this meeting there are two activities that we have. The first one is vocabulary test, and the second one is checking the sum of reflection online that we made.

At the vocabulary test, i just get 46 T_T . Urgh.. I think i can get better than that, but why i just get that? Maybe because i didn't study the night before, maybe. In that vocabulary test there are some vocab which have been tested to us, but the other vocab is new vocabulary. One of the vocab that already tested to us, is 'gosong'. When the test is ongoing, i think i remember very clearly that in the test before 'gosong' is 'over cooked'. So, with high confidence i answered 'over cooked'. Unfortunately, when it comes to examine the answer, my answer was wrong because the right one is 'burnt'. I sincerely shocked at that time, why? Why my answer is wrong? Then i open my previous test answer sheet, and i be ashamed directly that time.. Hihi. This so-called man is the place of wrong and forget ^_^

Then goes to the second activity, check the sum of our reflection online. This time i got 16 ( oh 16 or 15, i forgot. Remember, man is a place of wrong and forgot.hehe. So, it's still humane if i forgot my score. But i'm sure it's around 15 untill 16) . Still a low score for me. Although still there are some friends that have lower score than me, but also there are some friends that have higher score than me, and i don't like that fact. Ahaha. Man are never satisfied, right? Yah, but it's my fault. If i want to get high score, i should make a reflection online more. I should more diligent. But sometimes i feel lazy to make reflection. Oh, ilania, please change this habit. Make reflection online is for my own behalf. So i should be more dilligent. Right? And now, when i write this class reflection, my reflection online is already more than 20. Wow. Keep spirit girls. I still have a long way to achieve my target, my target is 100 reflections. Oh, i hope i can achieve that target. Is not impossible right? No. I think it's possible for me. ^_^

I think that’s all. Thank you so much and sorry if there are mistake. ^_^

Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional

Pengembangan Sekolah menuju Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional (SBI)

By : Prof. Dr. Marsigit, MA
Reflection By : iLania Eka Andari

After reading this article, now I understand why international schools (SBI) was disbanded. According to the article above, to become SBI schools must fulfilled certain indicators, as mentioned. But, in the reality,  there are some indicators that are not fulfilled by the schools that have been bearing the title of SBI.
The first is the School of SBI should be supported by the components of international standard. One component is the language that used in teaching-learning process. SBI schools should use English (the international language) in any school activity, but in fact, in the process of learning,  they still use Indonesian. Although the language is only used as an interlude,  but it is already changing the essence of the international class itself. If it still wants to use Indonesian, why not just form a bilingual class instead of international class?
The second is to become SBI will require international learning methods. Tendency of international standard method is oriented to student learning with a constructivist approach. But in fact, SBI school students still passive in accepting the lessons/the materials. They seemed to be a loyal listener for those teachers who give the material to the class. Rarely (or even to say almost none) there are teachers that provide the opportunity for students to actively construct knowledge by discussing, presenting and draw conclusions independently. Indeed, many teachers are asking students to discuss and then present the results in front of the class, but in my opinion, the discussion tends to text book discussion.
There are many other indicators that rstill not fulfilled by SBI schools, such as facility development issues, English language skills (both students and teachers), etc..

Identifikasi Masalah Psikologi Mengajar Matematika, Psikologi Belajar Matematika, dan Psikologi Pembelajaran Matematika

By : Prof. Dr. Marsigit, MA

Reflection By : iLania Eka Andari

The first problem is draw my attention. The influence of the amount of homework in students psychological condition.
Nowadays are getting a lot of kids who do not want and have no desire to go to school. It's not because they are lazy but because there are trigger factors that cause them reluctant to go to school. One of the factor is because the teacher likes to give them so many tasks.
When the teacher gives a lot of assignments, the kids feel they do not have the space and time to play with their friends. They feel that the teachers have take their rights to play. Actually a student's psychology (especially children) is more radical in the sense that there would not be pressure, including pressure from the tasks which is so many.
Unconsciously giving the task too much, has disturbing the children's psychic (or often termed by providing psychological violence to the child). The psychological violence can cause the children tend to hate learning activities conducted in schools, their creativity becomes blocked, decreased learning motivation, and not have the spirit to go to school.
Because the impacts associated with the psychological condition will take quite a long time. Therefore, we as teachers should do not give too many tasks to students. But that does not mean we do not need to give them a task. Give the task appropriately. Do not be too little, but not too much. Thus we do not suppress the students' psychological but we still give them responsibility through tasks that we give.

Artikel Populer : Pendidikan Karakter dalam Pendidikan Matematika

By : Prof. Dr. Marsigit, MA

Reflection By : iLania Eka Andari

Learning mathematics in daily life is not necessarily to develop knowledge that has been acquired, but also can develop character in us.
Almost all people would know that mathematics is a science that deals with a lot of numbers and counting. Math also has a variety of mathematical formulas, ranging from the simplest to the extremely difficult.
When doing counting, we are not enough to rely on memorized the formulas, but also have to know when the formula was used, in order to get the right results.
In the process of calculating and selecting these formulas, unconsciously we are actually in the process of looking for, what are we looking for? as I have mentioned above, the search for an answer.
Seen from the perspective of character education, the process of counting by picking out which exact formula should be used, the process by which we must be careful in operating the numbers and when calculating figures, reflecting that everything must be thought carefully and based on the strong theory, so that what will be produced later is not only a result, but also a quality results that can be justified.
A brief explanation above is a bit obvious example in daily life that mathematics also plays a role in the formation of character.
