Evaluation of mathematics, one in between means that immerse learners with the power of logical thinking, analytical, systematis, critical, and creative, and the power of working together.
To achieve this purpose is indeed not easy. Various initial perception that belongs to students in math, has made a variety of attitudes. There are have a high interest in mathematics, but many are valid a priori even in math phobia. This sort of thing is definitely a learning experience ever since they feel.
One of the aspects that has the most negative effect on students' perceptions of the mathematics that they experienced because of saturation throughout the study of mathematics. Weary attitude that they can feel because of their inability to do because each problem is found, or because they are too difficult to understand the material taught. This saturation is often caused by the teacher teaching. Because teachers have less power and are not controlled methods, tips and approaches to learning can make learning situation so engrossing and revive interest.
According to Robert. M. Gagner, there are two state of student learning, prime, internal learning state, the state that affect student learning caused by their own, such as learning motivation, psychological situations, thoughts and so on. 2nd, external learning state, the learning state resulting from outside themselves, in this matter the student's learning environment.
Based on the opinion above Gagner, so we can outsmart the learning situation in order to have a positive influence on the students and does not cause saturation, one of them through these steps are:
1. Providing motivation
The function of the teacher is essential that turn on learners' motivation in order to more actively studied. There are two types of motivation, namely intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation, motivation or encouragement and passion that comes from within the learner, for example want to acquire the practical benefits of learning, will gain an appreciation of colleagues especially from teachers, want to obtain a good value as well as evidence of "can do". Extrinsic motivation refers to the aspect of external factors that contributed to the emergence of a passion to learn, such as the social environment in the wake group, the physical environment which provide a comfortable situation, insistence, games, as well as an ideal learning tool as well as revive interest.
In the evaluation of mathematics, it is the main motivation. To turn on intrinsic motivation, students will be reminded of the main study mathematics to solve problems of daily living, such as calculations, measurements and so on. Especially if students are willing to continue studying to a higher stage, so the math is always obtained, to the understanding and mastery of the material in the early stages may help for the stages after that. Extrinsic motivation can be conditioned by the teacher, such as the compliment, gifts etc. Some of these steps can be a form of extrinsic motivation.
2. Creating Exciting Learning Situation
Belajarn exciting situation created by the teacher can avoid situations diantarnya stiff, tense especially daunting in learning, insert the fresh humor and educate, not to give the questions are too difficult, and so on.
3. Creating Exciting Learning Environment
Dpat exciting learning environment affects student learning attitude. Create a series of comfortable situation, study table decorated with things that give a freshness and give spirit to the students, the walls plastered with a series of pictures or decorations that they enjoy.
4. Refreshing
To get rid of boredom, bored and tired of learning, students are given a refreshing situation, steps can include the song in the classrooms, giving the games yangterjait simulations with the learning material. At specific times, ask students to learn outside of the series, such as in parks, on the ground and so forth.
