Revitalization of mathematics education is an effort toward which practitioners mathematics education are given the opportunity to conduct self-reflection, for later faced with a multi-entry decision stance on the basis of in-depth study towards a new paradigm has to offer.
In order that teachers are better able to realize the revitalization (education) learning mathematics that fosters the creativity of students then, referring to the recommendation Cockroft Report (1982) and explanation of Ebbut, S and Straker, A (1995), the following is a suggestion that may be useful for teachers in conducting learning of mathematics, through the preparation phase, learning phase, and phase evaluation as follows:
1. Teaching Preparation Phase
a. Planning for mathematics learning environment
- Determine the source of the necessary teaching
- To plan activities that are flexible
- Plan the physical environment of learning mathematics.
- Involve students in creating a mathematics learning environment
- Develop students' social environment
- Plan activities to work together.
- Encourage students to appreciate each other.
- Find the students' feelings about mathematics
- Develop mathematical models.
b. Planning for mathematical activities
- Plan mathematical activities are balanced in terms of: matter, time, trouble, activities, etc..
- Plan mathematical activities that are open (open-ended)
- Plan activities according to student ability.
- Develop mathematical topics.
- Build mental of mathematics.
- When and where help students?
- Use a variety of teaching resources (books vary).
2. Learning Phase
a. Develop the role of teacher
- Encourage and develop students' understanding.
- Provide an opportunity for each student to demonstrate ability to do math activities.
- Let students make mistakes.
- Encourage student responsibility for learning.
b. Set the time to whom and when doing math with / not with students
- Develop the students' experience.
- Allocate time.
- Set up feedback.
- Regulate the involvement of teachers to students.
- Observe the activities of students
3. Evaluation Phase
a. Observing students' activities
- What students mastered / not mastered
- What activities the next needed.
b. Evaluate yourself
- What have I done?
- What have I accomplished?
- What lessons can I quote?
- What will I do?
- What I do now?
- From where and what help do I need?
c. Assess understanding, processes, skills, facts and results
- Meaning: I want to know if they know?
- Process: I want to know what way they can be used.
- Skills: I want to know which skills they can using?
- Facts: I want to know if they can remember?
- Result: I want to know what they can?
d. Assess the results and monitor student progress
- Identify the concept of student
- Encourage students to conduct self-assessment.
- Create / use records of student progress.
- Observing what students do.
- Working with others?
