To Identify Design of Innovative Teaching Learning Process of Mathematics

The teaching learning design in education is very important to help teacher to create, arrange, and organize learning so that education event are able to occure. Design of learning is usefull to guide learning process effectively. Mathematics learning has goal to facilitate student to be critical, humanistic, adaptive students. Design of learning that can accommodate that goal is design of learning that grounded in constructivism paradigm as alternate paradigm. problem solving and reasoning model, inquiry training model, problem-based instruction model, conceptual change instruction model, group investigation model, problem base learning model,research Juriprudensial model, social research model are the designs that are grounded on constructivism paradigm that concluded as innovative learning that suitable on humanistic learning.

Teaching mathematical concepts to students who do not have a very strong background in mathematics is always challenging. This experience is also extremely rewarding when these students begin enjoying the journey, which leads to mastering the concepts. This paper will demonstrate how we can make it possible for learners with an average secondary education level of mathematical skills to make thetransition to a more advanced level more successfully. The main purpose is to determine if the use of innovative methods of teaching (including the technologies associated with modern computing) enhances learning.

According to Baradiya, innovative teaching are required following points:

1.      Subject Matter

It method may be called the vehicle of instruction, subject – matter may be labeled thecargo of instruction. To load an efficient vehiclewith worthless cargo would, of course, be absurd;to use efficient methods in the teaching of worthless subject matter would be equally absurd.Another of the necessary requisites, therefore, foreffective teaching is desirable subject matter. Thiswill meet the needs of pupils and of adults in acomplex and rapidly changing civilization.

The recent slogan, “Teach children ratherthan subject-matter,” is as fallacious as would bethe opposite slogan, “Teach subject-matter ratherthan children”; in sober fact, both subject-matterand children must be taught.

2.      Psychological Law

Learning process is very complex – that it isone of the most baffling things in the world.Although experimentation and other types of investigation have provided much informationregarding the way in which the human mindworks, even the Solomon’s of the profession arestill far from knowing the exact way in which itworks and the (stimuli) which make it work best.Probably the most valuable discovery of psychological investigations has beenconcerning the nature and extent of individualdifferences.

3.      Biological Law

He must also know and follow the bestbiological laws. He must know more than howthe mind works; he must know how the wholehuman organism works. He must realize thatthe whole child comes to school, and notmerely the mental nature of the child. Heshould know that anything which effects onepart of the organism also effects every otherpart of the organism.

4.      Good Environment

The most effective learning can takeplace only when the environmental setting isbest. This means, among other things, thatthe school plant, namely, the site, building,and equipment must be adequate, safe,sanitary, comfortable, and attractive. Overmany-probably most-of these details schoolofficials rather than teachers have control.

For example, teachers can suggest thatshades be secured for the windows, that desks be placed so that the light will enterfrom the left side of the room, that anadequate and wholesome water supply bemade available and that desk secured.

5.      Classroom Management

Closely related to proper school and classroom environment is effective classroom management. For the details of classroom management the teacher is almost wholly responsible. Among the more important detailsof classroom management for which the teacheris largely or wholly responsible are the following; providing for the proper seating of the pupils;arranging for the pupils to pass to and from theclassroom and the building at noon, recesses,and other school intermissions; checking of attendance; providing for the distribution,administration, and supervision of educationalsupplies and equipment; arranging for fire drills;and in general, making certain that everything

Developing Mathematical Instructional Design

Mathematics is very important in our daily activity. Mathematics collaborated with other science such that chemistry, biology, physics, economics, etc. Mathematics is the queen of science because everything need mathematics. Instructional Design Mathematical Design must be developed anytime. It must be step by step and continuously. There are many aspect

Mathematics lesson plan is more explanation from mathematics syllabus, and become important component from curriculum that must be developed professionallity. Developing mathematics lesson plan at least contain three activity, they are identification of need, determine the basic competence, and arrange learning program. They are at least two function of mathematics lesson plan, they are planning function and  implementing function.

The mathematics worksheet can be theoretical or practice. Theoretical task such that task for reading an certain article, etc. Practical task such that doing experiment at laboratorium, etc. The adventages of mathematical worksheet is make easy for teacher to do learning activity. For the student, the mathematical worksheet make students study mathematics independently and study to understand and do written mathematics task.

Apperception is the readiness student to catch the material. In apperception, teacher pursue the student to recall the material before by giving the student some question, etc. The apperception of mathematics have function to connect the student thinking about mathematics material in order the material are connected each other.

They are various of teaching methods that can be apply in mathematics teaching learning such that demonstration method, discussion method, expository method, recitation method, experimental method, team teaching learning, etc. The various methods of mathematics learning have goal to make the student enjoy studying mathematics. Traditional methods that teacher do in the past make the student bored and have a paradigm that mathematics just only the number that are difficult to understand. But it’s a wrong understanding.

Teaching aid is the instrument that fulfill the student in studying. Mathematics teaching aids is the instrument that can help student in understanding mathematics. Everything in the student environment can be teaching aids. The goal of the using teaching aids is make mathematics become concrete.

Interaction is one of the aspect of learning that must be achieved by student. Social interaction is very important for the growth of student. By social interaction, student can growth more compared by the student that have less social interaction. A student that solve mathematics problem by discussion is one of the example of social interaction.

Small group discussion is a small group for discussion. Teacher just as fasilitator that have function to help the difficulty that student found at the discussion. By small group discussion student will become interactive,  creative, and interactive. It also have function to improve social skill of students.

Presentation means the result of the student discussion. Reflection is something that can be reflect or reviewed in the end of the learning. Reflection of mathematics can be reviewed of mathematics material that have be studied. A presentation or reflection can be done individually or by group.

Presentation or reflection have function to remember what students get in that meeting in order student understand or try to know and recall what competence that must they achieved in that meeting. Focused the concentration of student to study mathematics.It is very important. Not only concern in the result, but also concern in the process.

An conclusion is something that can be assume in the end of learning. In mathematics learning, the student review the material that are gotten in their studying. That conclution not from teacher but from the students. Student’s conclusion can be read when the class will be finish. The teacher just complete the student’s conclusion after the students read the conclusion randomly.

Assesment means student record. In mathematics learning activity, teacher must record all activity that done by the students. Assesment not only for evaluating, but also identifying the mathematics achievement process continuously that contained three aspect (cognitive, psycomotoric, and affective).
