The Importance of Mathematics Education in the World of Globalization Era Education

The Importance of Mathematics Education in the World of Globalization Era Education

    Mathematics (from Greek: μαθημα - mathēma, "knowledge, thinking, learning") or previously known as the science of computation is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians assemble and use various patterns, then use them to formulate new conjectures, and construct truth through the method of strict deduction derived from axioms and corresponding definitions.

   There is a debate whether mathematical objects such as numbers and points already exist in the universe, or have they been discovered and created by humans. Logical study of the shape, structure, magnitude and related concepts; mathematics is often grouped into three areas: aijabar, analysis, and geometry: however, no clear division can be made because these branches are intermingled; basically aijabar involves numbers and their abstraction. anailsis involves constancy and limits, while geometry deals with form and related concepts; science is based on postulates that can derive necessary conclusions from certain assumptions.

  The mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the science that draws important conclusions".Even though mathematics is in fact very beneficial for life, the development of science and technology, to efforts to preserve nature, mathematics lives in the realm of ideas, not in reality or reality. Albert Einstein correctly stated that "insofar as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are uncertain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

  According to Max Tegmark, the meaning of "Mathematics does not refer to reality" conveys the message that mathematical ideas are ideal and sterile or avoid human influence. Uniquely, this freedom from reality and human influence in turn allows the conclusion that the universe is a mathematical structure. If we believe that the reality outside the universe must be free from human influence, then the universe must have a mathematical structure.

   Through the use of logical reasoning and abstraction, mathematics develops from counting, calculating, measuring, and systematically examining the shapes and movements of physical objects. Practical mathematics is manifested in human activities since written records exist. The strict mathematical argumentation first appears in Greek mathematics, especially in Euclid's The Elements.

   Mathematics was always developing, for example in China in 300 BC, in India in 100 AD, and in Arabia in 800 AD, until the Renaissance, when new mathematical discoveries interacted with new scientific discoveries which led to a rapid increase in the rate of discovery. mathematics which continues today.

   Today, mathematics is used worldwide as an important tool in a variety of fields, including the natural sciences, engineering, medicine / medical, and social sciences such as economics and psychology. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics which encompasses the application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries, and sometimes leads to the development of entirely new disciplines, such as statistics and game theory.

   Mathematicians also grapple with pure mathematics, or mathematics for the development of mathematics itself. They try to answer the questions that arise in his mind, even though the application is not yet known. However, the reality is that many mathematical ideas are very abstract and their relevance to life was unknown, suddenly their application is found. Mathematical development (pure) can precede or precede needs in life. The practical applications of mathematical ideas that gave rise to pure mathematics are often discovered later.   Emithology

   The word "mathematics" comes from the Ancient Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which means study, learning, science whose scope is narrowed, and its technical meaning becomes "the study of mathematics", even in ancient times. The adjective is μαθηματικός (mathēmatikós), related to study, or to study hard, which further means mathematical. In particular, μαθηματικὴ τέχνη (mathēmatikḗ tékhnē), in Latin ars mathematica, means the art of mathematics.

  The plural is often used in English, as in French les mathématiques (and is rarely used as a derivative of the singular la mathématique), referring to the neutral plural of the Latin mathematica (Cicero), based on the Greek plural τα μαθηματικά (ta mathēmatiká), used by Aristotle, which roughly translates to mean "all things mathematical". [9] However, in English, the noun mathematics takes the singular form when it is used as a verb. In a variety of conversations, mathematics is often abbreviated as math in North America and maths elsewhere.

    The era of globalization is a time where technology develops so fast and can expand without being bound by regions. Characterized by the ease of obtaining unlimited information and current issues that can affect life in society. This information and communication technology factor is the main supporting factor in globalization. In fact, in the midst of the rapid development of Science and Technology (IPTEK) it does not always lead to something positive but tends to be more negative. Therefore, education is needed in overcoming various problems that will be faced or arise. With education, generations of the nation will be able to keep up with the rate of development of science and technology.

   The world of education has an important role in preparing better quality human resources in the future. One of the important processes in the world of education is learning activities. When the learning process occurs, there is a transfer of knowledge between students and teachers, so in the learning process, besides a teacher, a teacher must understand the material, a teacher is also required to master strategies in delivering material by taking advantage of current developments in technology and information in the learning process. The role of the teacher is needed, especially the competence of the teacher in order to get a successful learning activity. In this case, the world of education is required to prepare students who have high intellectual, emotional, and social abilities because by having competences like this, students are able to face and overcome all kinds of consequences of developments and changes that occur in their environment.

Globalization Era Education World

  Globalization is a global process of community order and knows no boundaries. Marked by the advancement of science and technology (science and technology). Where, the advancement of science and technology which is accompanied by the increasingly rapid flow of world globalization has its own impact on the world of education.

   In the era of globalization, the world of education has experienced changes including: First, teaching patterns. Globalization brings changes to the teaching patterns of education. Teaching that was originally classical has turned into interactive multimedia teaching, which is based on new technologies such as the use of computers and the internet. Thus, in the communication process, learning can easily use writing, film, sound, music, or live pictures.

   According to Levie and Levie in Arsyad who read back on the results of research on learning through word, visual and verbal stimuli, it is concluded that visual stimuli produce better learning outcomes for tasks such as remembering, recognizing, recalling, and relating facts to concepts. The flow of globalization has a positive influence on the world of education.

  Second, Curriculum Design. With the advancement of technology and curriculum information based on the level of progress of students, the main orientation is centered on students. KBK (Competency-Based Curriculum) designed by the government in 2004 is the government's first step in actively involving students in class lessons. Changed to KTSP which is based on the level of the educational unit. Now changed to Curriculum 2013 (K-13).

The importance of mathematics education in 21st century education

   The 21st century is also known as the century of openness or globalization. The demand for change in life also demands a very big change in national education. So, P21 (Partnership for 21st Century Learning) develops a learning framework. Where, the learning framework requires students to have skills, knowledge and abilities in the fields of technology, media, information, learning skills, innovation, and life and career skills. With this, the Ministry of Education and Culture also formulates a 21st century learning paradigm that emphasizes the ability of students to find out various sources, formulate problems, think analytically and collaborate and collaborate in solving problems.

   According to BNSP, the 21st century learning framework is First, the ability to think critically and solve problems; able to think critically, laterally, and systematically, especially in the context of problem solving. Second, the ability to communicate and cooperate; able to communicate and collaborate effectively with various parties. Third, the ability to create and renew; able to develop their creativity to produce innovative breakthroughs. Fourth, information and communication technology literacy; able to take advantage of information and communication technology to improve performance and daily activities. Fifth, the ability to learn contextual; able to undergo contextual independent learning activities as part of personal development. Sixth, information skills and media literacy; able to understand and use various communication media to convey various ideas and carry out various collaborative and interactive activities.

The factors that affect the success of students learning mathematics

Factors in (students)

According to Russefendi, said that the factors that affect the success of learners are:

1.Child intelligence. A student will be declared successful in an education, if he is smart enough. Measures that can be used to measure the intelligence of elementary, middle and high school students include the IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test, NEM value, EBTA value, EBTANAS value and report card value. For high school graduates using SIPENMARU scores, while for universities using GPA or GPA.

2.Child readiness. There are two kinds of learning readiness, namely mental development readiness (physical, emotional, and social maturity) and the prerequisite knowledge that students already have.

3.Child talent. A person's talents can be expressed through discussions, assignments and action tests. Where, this test can be done by an expert.

4.Willingness to learn. One of the most difficult teacher tasks to do is how to make students who initially don't want to learn want to learn. The unwillingness of students to learn may be because students do not know that learning is a provision in the future or maybe because the lesson is considered scary like mathematics. There are things that teachers can do in order to invite their students to want to learn such as giving gifts to students with good grades, using props and games in the teaching process, or using the right method.

5.Children's interest. Interests differ from talents. In interest there are elements of interest so that with an interest in something it will tend to be positive about that something.

External factors (students)

1.Model of presentation of subject matter. The model of presenting subject matter in general that is used by teachers is the traditional way where the learning initiative is on the teacher. At the present time, many have tried out the material presentation model that has learning initiatives for students. Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of each learning model also depend on students' learning habits.

2.Teacher's personality and attitude. Humans generally learn not only through reading or teachers but also through good examples of human attitudes, behavior and actions. So that, within the scope of the school the teacher is a figure for the students. Thus, teachers are required to have personalities as educators and as human models of the nation.

3.Teaching atmosphere. The teaching atmosphere also determines the success or failure of students learning, so the atmosphere of teaching supports or does not depend on the attitude of the teacher.

4.Teacher competence. The success of students learning will be greatly influenced by the abilities of professional teachers, namely teachers who have certain abilities.

5.The condition of the wider community. The condition of the surrounding community or the wider community can help students learn success if the prevailing conditions in the community match the education in school. And it will be damaging if the conditions prevailing in society are contrary to education in schools.

Conclusion

  Mathematics education is a planned and structured effort to teach or develop students to be able to think critically, systematically, logically, creatively and mathematically and have a willingness to work together effectively.

   In the world of education, the glibalization era has experienced changes, including in teaching patterns and curriculum design. In the teaching pattern, which initially was classical in nature, it turned into multimedia interactive teaching, which was based on new technologies such as the use of computers and the internet. In curriculum design, it is based on the level of student progress so that the center of teaching is students.

  Mathematics education has an important role in overcoming the demands of the 21st century education world (the era of openness or the era of globalization) because the objectives of mathematics education are First, being able to understand the concept of mathematics; explain linkages and apply concepts or algorithms in an efficient, flexible, accurate, and precise manner in problem solving. Second, using reasoning on patterns and properties, performing mathematical manipulations in making generalizations, compiling evidence, or explaining mathematical ideas and statements. Third, be able to solve various problems. Fourth, being able to communicate ideas with symbols, tables, diagrams, or other media to clarify problems. Fifth, having an attitude of appreciating the usefulness of mathematics in everyday life: for example, having an attitude of curiosity in learning mathematics and having a resilient attitude in problem solving. Thus, in accordance with the demands of the globalization era to have skills, knowledge and abilities in the fields of technology, media, information, learning skills, innovation, and life and career skills.

   The factors that affect the success of students in learning mathematics are factors from within and factors from outside the students. Internal factors, namely children's intelligence, children's readiness, children's talents, willingness to learn, children's interests. External factors, namely the model of presentation of subject matter, teacher's personality and attitudes, teaching atmosphere, teacher competence, the condition of the wider community.

 Suggestion
