Reflection Constructing Mathematics Activity at Group-Discussion of The 6th Grade Students Of Primary Schools

Given by Sabina Ndiung:
If we talk about teaching learning process, of course we can not avoid of our understanding of approach, method, technique, teacher and student. Basically, all teachers want their students to be successful of her/his lesson; but this perception needs a effort of the teacher and students themselves. As we know, many approaches are offered to the teachers to be applied which aimed just to get the students successful in learning. Besides, the changing of paradigm in teaching period by period also always appearred, from traditional method ( teacher-centered) has changed become modern method (student-centered).
Why does it happen? Of course, many reasons to answer this question such as: exams system have changed, new syllabus has been introduced, economic and political development in one country, teachers want to up to date their course, and ect. From above comment I really agree related to the research posted by Dr. Marsigit, M.A because of Constructing Mathematic Activity at Group-Discussion of the 6th Grade Students of Primary Schools is the appripriate concept in teaching mathematic for primary schools especially at the 6th grade. Why? Based on my understanding, by applying this approach means that I agree to change my own paradigm in teaching from tradisional approach become modern/progressive approach that is students are not seen as passive source of the knowledge but students are seen as active processor of the knowledge and at the end of the lesson students can become independent learner or constructor.
In other hand, the research of constructing mathematic activity at group-discussion of the 6th grade students of primary schools not only emphasizes at the students to be independent constructor at 6th grade in learning addition, subtraction and multiplication through group discussion approach but also the students can enhance their good relationship between teacher and them also among students themselves through the interaction in group discussion. I really agree this approach, students can get double competences that is know the knowledge which got by the students’ participation in group discussion and social competence which got by a good interaction between teacher and students and interaction among students themselves.
Thanks and success of group-discussion approach in teaching mathematic for primary schools especially for 6th grade students.
