Analysis Dialog International 2 Pendidikan Matematika

Analysis Dialog International 2 - Pendidikan Matematika:

After all I agree with statement that "If you study you can do, if you don't study you can't"
also the statement that "I can do"

These statement SHOULD be Emerged as an internal motivation of the students. If students have this motivation, I think it will be more easy to us as a teacher to do what Ebbutt and Straker said.

May be you will say that we can emerge students' motivation by stimulating them. But, we have to remember that this motivation is an outside motivation. And we'll never know how long it will be sustained? Moreover when student meet difficult problems / chapters. Based on my teaching experience, I can conclude that my students have no soul to math no matter I stimulate them. Oke, I can stimulate them but over all, this motivation cannot represent, or I say when students meet a difficult matter they will be lost in hope again to math. So, the root of the problem is not about how to apply what Ebbutt and Straker said, but mostly How to emerge self-motivation (direct motivation) of students.

I also agree, that math should come from home. may be we still need to conduct research in-dept to know the relation between parent involvement in children learning mathematics.

Thank you.
