EFFECTIVE MATHEMATICS TEACHINGTwo major learning theories have dominated recent literature on optimizing
knowledge acquisition: constructivism and cognitive load theory. Constructivism, on
the one hand, gives preeminent value to the development of students’ self-regulated
process of constructing mathematical concepts. Its basic tenet is that students
acquire their own mathematical understanding by constructing them from the inside
rather than by internalizing them from the outside. Cognitive load theory, on the
other hand, suggests that the free exploration of a highly complex environment may
cause a heavy working memory load and led to poorer learning. Advocates of this
view further argue that constructivist strategies provide learners with information
that exceeds their working memory capacity, and thus fail to efficiently guide
learners’ acquisition of mathematical knowledge. The current study describes the
elements of constructivism theory and their cognitive basis and show how they can
be aligned with the structures that constitute human cognitive architecture. More
specifically, we present several ways in which cognitive load can be managed by
these elements and so facilitate mathematical learning.Upu HamzahBustang Bustang2014-11-10T07:01:10Z2014-11-10T07:01:10Zhttp://eprints.uny.ac.id/id/eprint/11558This item is in the repository with the URL: http://eprints.uny.ac.id/id/eprint/115582014-11-10T07:01:10ZEDUCATION QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN INDONESIAIndonesia boasts a substantial population and a wealth of natural resources. But far
fewer people understand how rapidly the nation is growing. The country, in 2045, is
going to achieve 100 years of its independence. There are a number of achievements
that Indonesia will have at that time, such as productive ages attaining around 60%
or exceeding from the total number of population 373.590.000 people. By 2030, the
country could have the world’s 7th-largest economy, overtaking Germany and the
United Kingdom. But to meet its ambitious growth targets and attract international
investment, the country has to manage this opportunity well through character
education, and then affect on the improvement of nation’s economic capability. It
may be appropriate, due to Indonesia is attempting to improve its education quality
by integrating it directly into the global education system.Upu Hamzah
