The Subject

The editorial panel chose the topic of geometry for a focus issue because we wanted to promote an increase in the attention given to geometry and measurement for all students in all grades. We identify with the observation by Marjorie Senechal in her essay “Shape,” in which she notes that “the role of geometry is a perennial issue in mathematics education at all levels from elementary school to graduate school.” As she discusses some of these issues, she observes that “the teaching of geometry is defended on the grounds that it serves external purposes, rather than on the importance of the subject in its own right” (Senechal 1990).

The Subject

Scientific literature offers extensive examples of the role of mathematics education in the development of personality and intelligence as well as its application in everyday life and professional activities. Furthermore, the attitude towards the role of mathematical knowledge in the labour market is widely discussed in the society. In order to reflect the views of respondents on the issues of mathematics education and the potential values of mathematics, the survey was carried out. The research data was analysed considering the respondents` education speciality, gender, age and mathematics learning experience. Study results show that mathematics is widely used in everyday life as well as in professional activities, and gives advantage in the labour market. It is difficult to learn mathematics but it is highly worthy. Thus the subject of mathematics is becoming a crucial instrument for promoting an all-round education and personal development. Therefore, many higher education courses have to be mathematics-intensive, and students need to have a high level of competence in the subject to promote person’s resilience.

ABSTRAKPada proses belajar di sekolah khususnya Sekolah Dasar (SD), guru mempunyai tugas yang berat karena di SD siswa mengalami banyak perkembangan selain perkembangan fisik. Oleh karena itu guru harus menjadi fasilitator yang baik bagi siswa dalam belajarnya. Banyak siswa yang mengalami kesulitan belajar di sekolah khususnya siswa jenjang SD. Tentunya peran orang tua sangat penting untuk membimbing dan mengajari anaknya dengan baik di rumah. Banyak kendala yang dihadapi oleh para orang tua dalam membimbing, mengarahkan terutama mengajari anaknya jika ada kesulitan dalam belajar di rumah. Banyak orang tua yang mengeluh karena belum optimal dalam membimbing dan mengarahkan apalagi mengajari anak-anaknya dalam belajar di rumah. Hal tersebut dikarenakan sebagian besar orang tuanya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani dan mereka harus bekerja ke sawah. Meraka sadar bahwa kurang optimal mengajari anak-anaknya jika mengalami kesulitan dalam belajarnya di rumah. Apa daya mereka juga mengalami keterbatasan biaya untuk mengikutkan anaknya dalam lembaga bimbingan belajar di luar jam sekolah untuk mengatasi kesulitan belajar. Hal tersebut akan mengakibatkan motivasi belajar anak menurun karena anak tidak bisa mengatasi kesulitan-kesulitan dalam belajarnya. Anak-anak akan malas belajar, mereka menganggap pelajaran tersebut sulit dan tidak perlu dipelajari. Motivasi belajar anak dapat menurun karena kurang bimbingan dan arahan orang tua saat proses belajar di rumah. Perlu adanya bantuan pendampingan bimbingan belajar di rumah bagi anak-anak SD untuk menumbuhkan motivasi belajar siswa. Hal itu dilaksanakan sebagai upaya membantu orang tua dalam membimbing dan mengajar anaknya jika ada yang mengalami kesulitan belajar di rumah. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Dusun Buruan Tampaksiring. Metode yang digunakan pada kegiatan ini adalah metode ceramah dan diskusi. Keberhasilan kegiatan ini dapat dilihat dari antausias dan semangat siswa dalam mengikuti kegiatan pendampingan bimbingan belajar. Selain itu siswa juga aktif menjawab soal –soal terkait materi yang diberikan serta mereka juga semangat belajar dan berdiskusi. Mereka tidak segan bertanya jika mereka kurang mengerti terkait materi pelajaran. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini berjalan dengan lancar tanpa hambatan yang cukup berarti. Kata kunci: pendampingan bimbingan belajar; motivasi belajar. ABSTRACTIn the process of learning in schools, especially elementary schools (SD), teachers have a difficult task because in elementary school students experience many developments besides physical development. Therefore the teacher must be a good facilitator for students in their learning. Many students have difficulty learning at school, especially elementary school students. Of course the role of parents is very important to guide and teach their children well at home. Many obstacles faced by parents in guiding, directing especially teaching their children if there are difficulties in learning at home. Many parents who complain because it is not optimal in guiding and directing especially teaching their children in learning at home. That is because most of his parents earn a living as farmers and they have to work in the fields. They realize that it is not optimal to teach their children if they have difficulty learning at home. What power do they also experience limited costs to include their children in tutoring institutions outside school hours to overcome learning difficulties. This will result in a child's learning motivation decreases because the child can not overcome the difficulties in learning. Children will be lazy to learn, they think the lesson is difficult and does not need to be learned. Children's learning motivation can decrease due to lack of guidance and direction from parents when learning at home. There needs to be assistance in assisting tutoring at home for elementary school children to foster student motivation. This was carried out as an effort to help parents in guiding and teaching their children if anyone had difficulty learning at home. This activity was carried out in Dusun Buruan Tampaksiring. The method used in this activity is the lecture and discussion method. The success of this activity can be seen from the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of students in participating in tutoring activities. In addition, students are also active in answering questions related to the material provided and they are also passionate about learning and discussing. They did not hesitate to ask if they did not understand the subject matter. The implementation of these community service activities went smoothly without significant obstacles. Keywords: tutoring assistance; motivation to learn.

The Way

Every one of my scholarly/literary activities is outside literary studies as such. Yet to a varying degree all that I do is the subject of the amoeboid activities of the field. I also have, in principle, no vested interest in the flow of students into your departments [this was a lecture to an audience in comparative literature], nor do I have to worry about jobs for them, nor the level of remuneration of your sluggers and sometime pinch hitters. It seems to me that given this practical disinterest (reading Burke and Kant) I am ideally situated to make aesthetic judgments if not prognoses of the future of literary studies. Which is the reason, I suppose, that I was asked to do so. But first let me count the ways in which I am marginal. First of all, I am a chemist, of the theoretical subspecies. I have done some good science, even shaped the way that chemists think of the motion of electrons in molecules, and how the electrons determine the shape and reactions of those persistent groupings of atoms we’ve learned to see without seeing. My and my collaborators’ work is divulged, some of my colleagues would say preached, in over 450 scientific articles (our stock in trade, rather than books). Such “texts” have become the subject of a burgeoning field of literary studies of science. But no one would bother with my texts; they are individually unimportant (though what they collectively teach is of value; I think of my articles as chapters in a serialized text, but please don’t tell the editors of the journals in which I publish). And perhaps when I write science I am too self-conscious of the central problem of representation for me to play the role of an innocent native (or his artifacts) awaiting the sage pseudo-anthropo/ sociological investigation of the way I construct knowledge. Also the cognitive, intrascientific background needed to assess my papers is moderately formidable; there is a reason why chemists spend five years in graduate school .

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar ponderações a respeito da maneira como o racismo evidente e manifesto em falas e comportamentos de indivíduos na sociedade brasileira contribui para a negação da humanidade e o apagamento de sujeitos em função de seu pertencimento étnico-racial, levando-se em consideração o importante papel que a escola deve desempenhar a fim de combater quaisquer formas de preconceito e discriminação, principalmente produzindo ações que se tornem eficazes já nos primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental. Para se atingir tal objetivo, utilizou-se como metodologia a pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, com delineamento exploratório, a partir do objetivo definido, e de procedimento bibliográfico com coleta de dados em textos já publicados a respeito do tema e dispostos em materiais impressos ou em meios digitais. O resultado a que chega com o escrito aponta para a necessidade do fortalecimento de práticas pedagógicas e de ações de conscientização para o enfrentamento de grave problema persistente na sociedade brasileira, na qual uma parcela ainda tem insistido na via da negação do racismo e na existência de uma democracia racial. Extraindo-se por conclusão a constatação de que a escola precisa abraçar sua missão social e permitir a efetivação de políticas educacionais incisivas e que se tornem eficazes para a formação de indivíduos dispostos ao diálogo e não ao conflito que apenas alimenta o abismo de ignorância caracterizador de uma sociedade que se tem mostrado, ao menos em parte, indisposta a enfrentar e resolver seus dilemas mais agudos.Palavras-chave: Racismo. Escola. Sociedade brasileira.From racism in school to a school against the racism: considerations about the Brazilian sceneABSTRACTThis article has by aim to present comprehensions about the way racism exposed and manifest em speeches and individual behaviors in Brazilian society contributes to the denial of humanity and the obliteration of some persons by their ethnic recognition, in considering the essential role of the school in this matter struggling any kind of prejudice and discrimination, mostly producing actions with substantial effectiveness mainly in the Elementary School. To achieve that objective, it was made use as methodology the research of qualitative type and exploratory basis with bibliographic procedure of data, accessing texts about the subject in books or digital media. The result of the discussion shows that it is needed the strengthening of pedagogic practices and actions of conscientization to face this chronic problem still existent in the Brazilian society, in which some individuals have insisted in the denial of the racism and in the reality of some kind of racial democracy. Considering by conclusion that it is through the school, assuming its social goal, the consolidation of educational and strength policies will be realized in the process of building persons opened to the dialogue but not to the conflict who only feeds the abyss of ignorance that it is a strong attribute of a society that has sadly revealed itself, at least some individuals, unable to face its major dilemmas.Keywords: Racism. Elementary School. Brazilian Society.Del racismo en la escuela a una escuela contra el racismo: reflexiones a respecto del panorama brasileñoRESUMENEste articulo tiene por objetivo presentar algunas consideraciones a respeto de la manera como el racismo claro y manifiesto en hablas y comportamientos de los individuos en la sociedad brasileña ha contribuido para la negación de la humanidad y el apagamiento de los sujetos en razón de su identificación étnico-racial, sabiéndose que la escuela tiene inevitablemente un papel muy importante a desempeñar en el combate a todas las formas de prejuicio y discriminación, principalmente produciendo acciones que sean eficaces ya en los primeros años de la enseñanza elemental. Para llegarse al cumplimiento de lo objetivo descrito se hace aplicación de metodología con investigación cualitativa, de carácter exploratorio, a partir de dicho objetivo, y de revisión bibliográfica acerca del problema con acceso a textos disponibles en línea o libros. El resultado alcanzado con este escrito muestra que es fundamental avanzar en el fortalecimiento de prácticas pedagógicas y de acciones para la tomada de conciencia mirando el enfrentamiento de uno grave problema mucho presente en la sociedad brasileña, en la cual una parte aún se posiciona por la negación del racismo y por la creencia en una democracia racial. Por lo tanto, una de las conclusiones es la constatación de que en Brasil la escuela necesita abrazar su tarea social y permitir la realización de fuertes políticas educacionales que se tornen caminos viables para la formación de individuos dispuestos al dialogo y jamás elijan el conflicto que sólo alimenta el abismo de ignorancia como marca de una sociedad que se tiene hecho ver, en parte, poco lista a enfrentar y solucionar sus dilemas más severos.Palabras clave: Racismo.

Many reasons have been given for the inclusion of more geometry in the lower grades. Certainly, geometry is an important subject in its own right, and as certainly, it is un realistic to postpone the study of geometry until it can be approached in a systematic and rigorous way. (Precision and rigor can best be appreciated when we understand what we are being precise and rigorous about.) lt is also true that geometry is encountered in everyday life, and that children do find the subject interesting. What has not often been pointed out is that geometry can extend and enrich the study of arithmetic.

Processing Mechanisms

The role of top-down processing on the horizontal-vertical line length illusion was examined by means of an ambiguous room with dual visual verticals. In one of the test conditions, the subjects were cued to one of the two verticals and were instructed to cognitively reassign the apparent vertical to the cued orientation. When they have mentally adjusted their perception, two lines in a plus sign configuration appeared and the subjects had to evaluate which line was longer. The results showed that the line length appeared longer when it was aligned with the direction of the vertical currently perceived by the subject. This study provides a demonstration that top-down processing influences lower level visual processing mechanisms. In another test condition, the subjects had all perceptual cues available and the influence was even stronger.
