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?
