Mathematics Education In the National Exam, or other exams that produced mathematics as one of the test material, mathematics often became scared. According to the psychologist Alva Handayani in SemilokaMengatasi Fobia Matematika pada Anak (14/08/04) at Bandung. The phobia of mathematics causes suggestion which planted at a child that mathematics is difficult. The suggestion arise from people around that said mathematic is difficult. For solving this problem, Iwan Pranoto (observe mathematics education and lecture at Program Studi Matematika Institut Teknologi Bandung) in the same case said arise student and society suggestion that mathematic lesson is difficult and become phobia causes on lesson system which more press with memorized and acceleration counting. Teacher who convey knowledge must able teaching mathematic more interesting and develop memorize source student.

Press with memorize formulation and acceleration counting can be influence view of mathematic as arithmetic science. But actually mathematic is more proper look as abstraction art. When a child learn a counting with approach one rib to other one, then be notation the ribs union with form similar to duck which now known as number two, so exactly the child have abstraction process with the ribs in mathematic method. Presence abstraction can do every people appropriate with the reality mathematic according Frans Susilo in Pendidikan Sains yang Humanistis, that (1) mathematic is not science which have absolute of truth, the truth in mathematic is relative which dependent on agreement of together, (2) mathematic isn’t science which can’t wrong. As developed science by human, mathematics can’t escape from finitely and human error. The history have proofed it, (3) mathematic isn’t collection, symbol, and formula which nothing related with the real world. In the other way, mathematic grow from and rooted in the real world, (4) mathematic isn’t technique of working which only need memorize until ready to use for solve the problems, and (5) mathematic object is elements of sosio-culture historis characteristic, that it have together in the world, as one of medium to use of human for develop any aspects in human-itarianism of human, and formed pass through long process of history which make face of mathematic self. source: http://myscienceblogs.com/matematika/2007/06/21/pendidikan-matematika/ Author : Yuti
