Research is an activity to get the knowledge that called ‘science’ that do by the procedure systematically and supported by certain methodology and certain methods. As an candidate of mathematics teachers, we must know about the experience how we get the value or aspects of mathematics learning that must be known as an mathematics teacher. Teachers can make a change with mathematics learning by process research. Find the exact methods of learning. The research can be done by many kinds such as quantitative research.

To develop research in mathematics learning the are some aspects. One of them is research as an hermeneutics activity. The effort that perform phenoments of mathematical lerning can be display in hermeneutics circle.

There are two kinds of hermeneutics. Realistics  hermeneutics and deconstructive hermeneutics. If a research press on specifics things and an effort to express the phenomena of mathematical learning as a real world that can be determine by theory or methods then a research develop it. A teacher or a researcher by realistics hermeneutics try to focused the research by hard effort and focused in the aspect of mathematics. Try to explain the problem that they face in their world, mathematics learning. The second is deconstructive hermeneutics. It’s an effort to express the phenomena of mathematics learning by the sureness that mathematics learning save many kinds of mistery. A human being, a teacher are bounded to know that but they must try to know in order they try to deconstruct that mathematics aspects.

Something that make the research happened can come from the wanted to make a change in mathematics learning. The change can be the theory, the pragmatics, the conceptual, and soon. The methods of research can as a research in a class or other that it’s all as lesson study. There are many kinds of rule in mathematics research. The research have a goal to make a professionalism for a teacher of mathematics.
