Being a Good Student of Mathematics Education

As a student of mathematics education we should be very happy and thanks to God cause it is not many younger people that can study in mathematics education especially at Yogyakarta State University. So, we need to empower ourself. Don’t be disappointed, we must wake up. Make sure that we are on the right track supporting by competence, facilities and family that support us to gain our goal to become a good mathematics teacher.
We need understand inside (strength and weakness) and outside of ourself. If we didn’t understand, we could be blind and empty. Blind about our goal and our knowledge. Empty about the way to fullfil the blind. Life can be define as character. It means we have to understand our situation and our characteristics.
We must aware that we have grown, not a child anymore, so we should have transformation from young people to an adult people. The differences sbetween younger and older student is the different thingking of mathematics. Adult, doing anything based on understanding, not based on other influence. As an adult student, we must not much depend on our lecturer. Knowledge can be studied from everything and everywhere. For example, now, there are many variations sourches of teaching learning of mathematics in english. We can download video from teaching learning mathematics.
Teacher need some preparation before learning process and make something different from traditional teacher. There are Lesson Plan and Student Worksheet. According to Mr. Marsigit’s paper, in progressive teaching, teacher aware that there are relation between objective and subjective knowledge. The process of new knowledge is in social range or individual range. New knowledge of mathematics in social range have objective character and in individual range have subjective character. So, social interaction in mathematics teaching is important to approach subjective knowledge into objective knowledge.
