THE
SEVENTH REFLECTION OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
Yesterday, we learned about philosophy
again with Prof. Marsigit. And this is the seventh reflection about question
answer of philosophy, especially philosophy of mathematics education.
Yesterday, there were many questions from students to our lecturer, Prof.
Marsigit.
First question its about dimention. Does
any body that is able to increase its dimensions? The most primitive dimension
is the dimension of space and time dimensions. But if we ekstensifkan further
there will be other dimensions such as political, the economic, the social,
etc. so to the existing dimensions and dimensions may exist. Because contextual
dimensions. And when viewed from the time dimension, then each object always
increases with increasing time dimension. But when viewed from the dimensions
of space, the object is not necessarily due to increased dimensions could be
reduced. Thus increasing or decreasing the dimension depends on the context and
perspective view.
Say something helpful or unhelpful
depending on contextual dimensions. So one can say useful things at once is not
useful depending on the context, for example meal would be useful if in
accordance with the proportional but if it exceeds then eating is an activity
that is not useful.
Second question about the application
of its philosophy. The application of philosophy in education be it elementary,
middle or high school is a way to reclaim the lost intuition and develop
learning activities that optimize intuition. Although the truth of intuition
scientifically questionable but one can think on the basis of scientific
intuition. Since only about 2% of that is in this world that can be formally
defined therefore intuition is needed to explain and describe what exists and
may exist.
Goddess Madream, mad = crazy dream =
dream. Goddess madrem includes five yatu endeavor, prayer, charity, world,
science. It was seen, as we endeavor - will live 1000 years and we pray as if -
as if he died tomorrow.
