Elegi Pemberontakan Pendidikan Matematika 2: Intuisi dalam Matematika (2)

I agree with article above. For the students, mathematical experience built on accumulated mathematics skills that are supported by knowledge or understanding of mathematics (mathematical content). Everything that can’t be achieved if it is not supported by mathematical attitude and method, supporting  attitude, and internal motivation (pleasure and fun mathematics).

I think implementation of the National Exam as a determinant of graduation students will only add to the burden for the teachers and the students. They feel pressured by that National Examination. Ultimately different ways did by the teachers in order to the students can graduate, for example by use of practical formulas. Whether the students understand the essence of the material or not. It causes the student become poor of mathematical intuition. It is quite irrelevant to the purpose of education. Learning in the classroom, especially mathematics learning, the most important is the process not the result. Therefore intuition is very important in the development mindset of the children (the students), especially in mathematics learning. But in this case we can’t blame the teacher entirely. Necessary reconsideration of the education system in Indonesia. The children (the students) should be future generation become victims, they loss of intuition. This is caused the policies that were not appropriate (not take sides the development of intuition the children).
