Ethnomathematics is an innovative learning. Math and language are
the subject of the ethnomathematics.
However, ordinary people cannot see
ethnomathematics. Hermeneutics of life is learning mathematics using friendship. Hermeneutics consists of elements of circular and straight. Circular
in the sense that life continues as the
morning and then again in the
morning, while the straight
in the sense that already happened cannot be repeated or occurs
only once.
Hermeneutics of life studied since
ancient Greece. In hermeneutics, ‘Dewa’ supposed
to understand God's purpose and
‘Dewa’ will descend
to earth to meet with
the human race. Hermeneutics of
life consists of practical
and theories that
it could be
replaced by anything and there is cause and effect relationship between the two. In the hermeneutics are spiral
unsure which is a circle drawn by a
straight line. Elements of this
spiral such as traces
of earth around the sun because the earth has never been in the same
spot. Spiral element
is used to express human natures; plants; stones; etc. are there in the
universe. Human nature consists
of straight spiral, spiral enlarged, and
spiral decreases to the point. Humans are
always trying to upgrade themselves
and learn from God's
other creatures. If
there are people who do not want to learn from God's creatures other then he is
lost and include people
who do not innovative. Plants
in the hermeneutics of nature can be seen in
the annual cycle. Nature of
stones can be seen from the surface of the stone is exposed to heat and rain.
According to the hermeneutics of life,
life is translated and translates. An example is the skin that was translated by the eyes, translated by
the mind, and if the mind is sick
and then go to the doctor to ask for
drugs, and so on. There are all kinds of problems, because it is not able to translated and translates. The process of translated and translates with the language. The best way to
learn a language is to use a method of life. Mathematics
is also alive, and then learns to use the
translated and translates.
Above is the Iceberg approach as a
starting point of learning sequences give real experiences to students such
that they involve immediately in a personal mathematical activities. In order
to utilize students’ mathematical knowledge, this approach should be employed
through potential learning sequence. Scientists educated, trying to dig up appropriate educational nature by using the iceberg approach.
At
school, the mathematics that should be used is the start of concrete mathematics.
Kind of math based on realistic mathematics from low to high are mathematical concrete,
concrete models, a formal model to formal mathematics. The order was supposed
to be kind of mathematics is a sequence of learning mathematics since childhood.
Mind or personality students can be affected by a tsunami, caused by pure
mathematicians or teachers who do not understand mathematics learning should be
properly processed.
"Mathematics is beautiful" for angels or gods, but for
students of mathematics is hell,
because math was
hot. For example, if the student is studying
elementary integral, this is not appropriate. The task of teachers is to make math a
cool, airy, and so on. Life is between 2
things, that is the thoughts and
beliefs. The phenomenon that is ethnomathematics is
that if students are not prepared
(does not like, but has potential) or if the
student does not have the power, then of course it
would be a disaster.
Ethnomathematics provides sciences from the bottom to
top that are sub serve, and thoughts
from top to bottom that are super serve. Experiences
generate intuition, and intuitions generate categories
or our knowledge. Ethnomathematics
is anti-traditional learning. Problem
of Mathematics teaching in Indonesia:
· Traditional
(teacher -> student)
|
· Innovative
(constructive teaching)
|
· Formal
Mathematics (teacher -> student)
|
· School
Mathematics (constructive teaching)

Ethnomathematics is
a learning resource that is
contingent and so on. Ethnomathematics provides a mathematical phenomenon that is contextual, through the process of learn of existing (abstraction)
and learn the necessary
(idealization). Ethnomathematics is beyond the mind of students, so,
teachers should be able to give ethnomathematics into learning
mathematics.
The nature of mathematics are inside
your mind (analytic / coheren) and outside your mind (synthetic /
correspondence). Ethnomathematics equivalent to the concrete mathematics. Hermeneutics of life consist of vertical
mathematics and horizontal mathematics
Teachers or prospective
teachers should be able to unify
and Realistic Mathematics
Ethnomathematics, can make a iceberg approach to any
existing problems, that is find the first symptoms
and thingking about formal mathematics
how to apply (for example is the elementary school until high
school in the study of mathematics
can use ethnomathematics, while the University did
not have to use ethnomathematics). Education in Indonesia
is speculative and manipulative (not based
on the process). System
should be made more
stressed or appreciate
the process, for example reflection.
Teachers need to understand the nature of school mathematics, and so on, as well as developing skills with concrete. Ethnomathematics
is one of the pillars of innovative mathematics. Ethnomathematics provides a mathematics problem, which
is used to expand the types or kinds of methods.
