Teachers or prospective teachers of mathematics as a researcher can deliberately make changes in teaching mathematics in schools by conducting various experiments; so mencullah scientific method. Approach to mathematics education research can be done by barbagai way, among other quantitative research. Quantitative studies of mathematics learning to rely on the scientific method to find rules, laws and principles concerning the reality of learning mathematics in school.
If we want teachers of mathematics education reform mathematics education research it will become a necessity. Apart from the formal legal aspects of mathematics education research activities either by teachers, lecturers as well as by prospective teachers will provide many benefits. With the study of mathematics education we can know the existence of differences in individuals or groups to study the mathematics, we can determine the position of students in a group, can compare learning outcomes between groups. We also can do a match between objectives and results of learning outcomes: whether the standard of competence or basic competency has been achieved? Research results can be used for refining the program, counseling, provision of information to the public. Besides that we also can do a comparison between the performance and criteria for each dimension of the program and refining the program and the inference results of mathematics education as a whole. Then we can conduct studies on the implementation of the program, the environmental impact study, the influence of the program, curriculum or syllabus of learning outcomes, and ultimately used for the improvement of mathematics education program as a whole.
Of excessive exposure in advance not to the teachers would be given a suggestion to enter the educational research activities are always attached to the activities of learning mathematics. More specifically, before learning of mathematics held the teacher should do things as a preparatory step as follows:
Planning for mathematics learning environment
20
- 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 learning environment of mathematics.
Develop students' social environment
- To work together to plan activities.
- Encourage students to appreciate each other.
- Browse the students' feelings about mathematics
- Develop mathematical models.
Plan mathematical activities
- Plan mathematical activities are balanced in terms of: material,
time, trouble, activities, etc..
- Plan mathematical activities that are open (open-ended)
- Plan activities according to student ability.
- Develop mathematical topics.
- Build mental math.
- When and where help students?
- Use a variety of teaching brag (books vary).
