My Small Research

Abstract

This research is used to fulfill the task of psychology courses in Mathematics Learning. This study raised the title "My Small Research about Elementary School Children Learning Methods in Mathematics".

Research Tool

The method used was interviews

Research subject: The 4th grade

Date:

Name : Risalatul Hanifa

Class : 4 SD

Schools : SD N 2 Pekiringan

Discussion

1. Do you think math is a difficult lesson or easy?

Answer: It's hard

2. If difficult, what part of that hard?

Answer: all but the most difficult to create a confusion of matter fractions and integer operations.

3. What is the value of the last math test?

Answer: keep the good score 80 from 10 question.

4. How does your teacher teach mathematics?

Answer: The teacher is boring just using the package of books and props,

5. How does your learning at home?

Answer: The only homework, no homework if I did not learn

Conclusion

Learning mathematics in elementary school a fun learning requires that students more interested. Learning to use props really support students' understanding. Students' learning methods tend to learn if there is only homework assignment or course. This culture must be addressed, that learning should continue in order to get optimal results.

Networking and Category

Lecture Notes:

Networking and Category is something that can not be separated. There are connections there. There are good relations between Networking and Category. Some some experts, networking and category based on our thoughts. Two experts who said it was Immanuel Kant and Katagiri.

We can classify into two experts who argued:
1. Immanuel Kant
According to Immanuel Kant (1771), that in our minds there are four things:
a.kuantitatif,
b.kualitatif,
c.category
d.relatioan.
Therefore, according to Immanuel Kant, categories and networks in our minds. Where in our minds there is also something that contains quantitative trait something that plurality and a single, the next thing is qualitative which contains a universal and unique character, and this is the relationship of the implications and biimplication like. .. . then, if and only if, and so on. But here only be discussed about the power of media and networks. Where the power of the media and the simplest network is the principle of identity and the principle of contradiction. For example the principle of identity A = A, while the principle of contradiction as B is not A. Where the identity and the contradictory functions that are part of human logic. So in our minds that the category is logic one. Where is the logic contained in the human mind to solve problems logically. Where the concept of two categories. The concept is noumena and phenomena in the form of categories. Criteria categories are Category and networks. In the category and the network, people who try to profit ideas.For example highlithing mathematical thinking. There is a phenomenon of mathematics education.



2. Katagiri
According to Katagiri, in mathematical thinking that there are three things:
a.atitude,
b.methode
c.content
.
Network while globalization is associated with the absence of information technology and network (networking), then people will not be able to recognize the human world in general. a category and actually tissue in the human mind is how the lives of people by expanding

To Uncover The Phenomena

Events become very frequent thing we see every day. Life would not be out of a series of events. An event has explicit and implicit messages, these messages can be seen directly and indirectly. Indirect messages that should be reviewed so that we can understand the message behind the event. To understand the message we need to look at aspects related as:

a.Trauma

b.Readyness

c.Motiv

d.Implementasi

e.Prediction

f.Feeling

g.Attitude

h.Determine

i.Subject

j.Object

k.Relation

l.Explanation

m.Context

n.High Expectition

o.Architectonic

p.Common

q.Chalanging

r.Knowladge

s.Spirit

t.Pedagogic

u.Gap

v.Tolerance

w. To Translate

x. Hermeneutika

Above aspects can be used to assess an event. I have examples of events that could we examine the above aspects.

Learning mathematics at primary school level and junior secondary schools use a lot of props. This is done so that primary school students better understand the material. Learning to be an interactive media, inspiring, exciting, motivating students to take an active role, and provide adequate space for creativity, independence in accordance with learners' interests talent. But the problem that arises is the lack of facilities for schools that far from the city. The lack of props to make the schools that use the media everyday life inherent with students, as if explaining the circle used motorcycle wheels, used to describe the block the same set of books and thick, and so on. This raises concerns for education in Indonesia. Public interest to send their children have started to increase because of the free school program, but is constrained by a lack of teaching facilities. This incident happened almost happened in every remote areas across Indonesia. Behind these events can we analyze that there is a lack of preparedness levels of government, there is the trauma of teachers who teach in remote areas, there is a very big spirit among educators to transfer knowladge and value. In the event also shows the relationship between teachers and students in remote areas, there are teachers and students as the subject as object. I think enough for the analysis of events in the hope of an improvement in facilities and infrastructure sectors of education in Indonesia. Advance Education in Indonesia
