2.The Second Reflection of Philosophy of Mathematics Education

      Phylosophy can be put anything such that in front of mathematics and become philosophy of mathematics. The object of phylosophy are that there exist and may be exist. So the object of philosophy of mathematics education are that there exist in mathematics education and that maybe exist in mathematics education. The object of mathematics Phylosophy is live. To make it live, the subject must have experience by themselves. Phylosophy is a process of thinking. As a process of thinking we do our philosophy by logical and thinking. So both logical and thinking is important for philosophy. And it must always be increased and increased to get the higher dimension, dimension of live.

If a people thinking about philosophy, it must be completed by logical and experience. Then a people that have ability to think but not use their thinking, that people must be dead. A mythe is an experience that not be though. When the age of people is increasing until the age is enough, it is about the ability of spiritual. So, when the age of people is become higher, the people must have a more experience and have more spiritual. When a people have more experience, they should have the higher dimensional of live.

A philosophy is harmony. It’s always balance and never stop. So a philosophy of mathematics also like that. A philosophy of mathematics is also have balance and it never stop, so it always move and move. A philosophy of mathematics is always changed but always balanced.

In philosophy, is always have relation with education. We should be ourself, it’s about education. The use of philosophy in your daily activity is such as the use of your thinking in your activity.

Talking about success. A philosophy success or not is depend on the subject. It is depend on the people that use that philosophy. So a philosophy of mathematics said to be success depend on the people that use philosophy of that mathematics.

1.Reflection of Philosophy of Mathematics Education

In this semester, I’m taking a course namely Philosophy of Mathematics Eucation. It has a different meaning if we translate in Bahasa as Filsafat Pendidikan Matematika. It’s not easy to learn mathematics because it have dilemma. First, studying philosophy need time to think, it’s not suit for a busy people who has a limited time to think about mathematics philosophy. It’s not suit for people that are underpressure. The other dilemma is about Bahasa. As mathematics student who use English as a basic lecturing, it’s difficult to study philosophy of mathematics education.

The important things is, philosophy need time to think over. So, although it has many dilemma, a student especially mathematics student should study it because it’s important course in mathematics education. Young people such that a student have a good adaptation to solve a problem and to receive something new, so it’s not a problem to study it in this semester.

Dr. Marsigit said,”I am not the position of giving”. And philosophy mathematics learning must be alive. It menas that studying philosophy can not be texted book. Student must create their own philosophy. The philosophy about mathematics. Studying philosophy doesn’t need to write too much. We can connect it with other discipline such existence, reality,

Philosophy is such a world, like the “word”, the world of animal, the world of plant, the world of studying, and soon. We can put the word “world” in front of anything. That’s why studying philosophy must be alive. So the method to study it is alive too such that reading mathematics philosophy’s article, etc. Beside that philosophy is such that a mirror so that it need to be reflected. Like in our daily need, we need a mirror to look our performance.

According to Wikipedia, philosophy of mathematics is the branch of philosophy that studies the philosophical assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics. The aim of the philosophy of mathematics is to provide an account of the nature and methodology of mathematics and to understand the place of mathematics in people's lives. The logical and structural nature of mathematics itself makes this study both broad and unique among its philosophical counterparts.

My Question is, what sub material will we learn in philosophy of mathematics education?
