PSYCHOLOGY OF MATHEMATIC EDUCATION
Mathematics had separate meaning if in the light of psychology approach. Because in psychology also is studied how psychology in self mathematics. In learning mathematics it is of course there is child meeting difficulty in studying, this thing because of ability every student is different. There is some thing which could probably be done by the teachers the instructor is so that the students can conveniently studies mathematics without existence of constraint from other party.
Like the one told by (Ebbut and Straker, 1995) that student thinks much of mathematics hence teacher is not properly applies definition of mathematics acsiomatics, but defining mathematics as school mathematics.
Intention from expression to according to me that is teacher as instructor is not only teaches mathematics based on just theory but she also able to teach mathematics by the way of the other for example just with the school mathematics essence, between it is:
1. Mathematics is activity of pattern scanning and rapport.
This thing means student is given freedom and opportunity to do invention activity and attempt, they study finally student can conclude. So that student can easily comprehend an understanding between that one with other.
2. Mathematics is creativity required imagination, intuition and invention.
Way of thinking every student is different as to each ability according. In mathematics every student is claimed to be able to lay open the opinion causing the eagerness to know in every student can be replied. But not only that, mathematics also obliges we so that can esteem invention of either invention of other student or invention is outside by estimate as something worthwhile.
3. Mathematics is activity of problem solving
Mathematics is activity of problem solving, this thing is correct because in mathematics most of we make problem and finalizes the problem. For the purpose student is expected can break or does the problem of mathematics by the way of themselves. Besides for student which has not can do the problem is expected area around that is teacher as the instructor and friends is other child helping each other able to which can’t. Especially teacher as a educator. To be able to think out the also student is pushed think to be able to logically, consistency, and systematic and has ability and skill to think out the.
4. Mathematics as a means of communication
Besides essence three essences to essential mathematics as a means of communicates. Communications here is communications which can push student to recognize mathematics trait and makes the example problems. Example of other communications is in doing mathematics problem. Student can communicate with other student and also with teacher to discuss about problem which they face.
With essences mentioned upper expected teacher can teach mathematics intelligibly so that student can be easier to think much of mathematics without feeling difficulty.
