Elegi Pemberontakan Pendidikan Matematika 1: Intuisi dalam Matematika

Intuition plays an important role in mathematics learning, especially for the children (the students). In article above, we know the nature and role of intuition in mathematics according to Thompson. He think that the role of intuition in mathematics should recognize it as a versatility in measuring up new situations, or even conjecturing them, using a rich repository of recurrent and strategically-important schema or conceptual structures, painstakingly abstracted from sensory experience by the intellect, constrained by the languages available to us at the time, and influenced by the accumulated resources of our cultural and scientific heritage.

So we can said everyone have intuition. Their intuition different from another, because they are thinking differently or their perspective is different, as well as the learning of mathematics, each students has a different intuition. But nowadays many students are still difficulties to understand mathematics because they lost intuition. I think the cause is they are not given the freedom for creativity in understanding mathematics in accordance with his/her own.
