How to help Mathematics Teachers? Imagine the Future. What kinds of: MAT knowledge MAT skills MAT attitudes Are needed by our young generation to survive in the 21st Century and beyond?  The Focus must be on our Students and on our Mathematics Classes.

What We Do For the last six years, SEAQiM has conducted several courses, training, workshops, symposiums, and research to address the latest issues in mathematics  Focus on our Students and our Mathematics Classes. The Centre has also been developing a mathematics regional assessment under the title of MaRWA (Mathematics Regional Wide Assessment). This ongoing project is a collaborative work by SEAQiM, SEAQiS and SEAMOLEC with the support of the MoE of 11 SEAMEO Member Countries. 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

Unique Experience Participants collaboratively learn and work together 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

Unique Experience Participants are not only learning about theories but also can practice it during the training. They have the opportunities to teach in our partner schools. 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

Objective of Math Education We should develop children who can use what they learned before with out our support. If they developed, they can reply the question what do you want to do next. Human Character Formation Attitude and Values: Beautifulness, Curiosity, Reasonableness, Appreciation Skills for Learning: Learning How to Learn Mathematical Thinking: Extension, Generalization, Anticipation, Integration, Change the representation for explaining In Japan, Isoda sensei, produce this source, special for Math subject area. Knowledge and Skills Traditional way of calculation New way of calculation Pattern on the calculations `Source: Isoda (2015) 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V In SEA countries, under the help of Isoda sensei, SEAMEO RECSAM produce this source, special for Math subject area.

Our Challenge If we agree to help our students to be competence on: (1) Math knowledge, (2) Math Process and (3) Good attitude / character for Global citizenships. How to help our mathematics teachers to be competence in helping their students to be competence on : (1) Math knowledge, (2) Math Process and (3) good attitude toward for Global citizenships. How? 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

Shadiq, (2016b): “How to Help Our Students to Learn Mathematics” meaningfully  easily? joyfully? to use their heads (think)? to be an independent learner?” 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

The Indonesian Scientific Approach (MoEC, 2013)  More on Process Skills (FS) 1. Observing 2. Questioning 3. Reasoning 4. Collecting or experimenting 5. Communicating 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

The Japanese PSA Steps 1. Problem Posing 2. Independent Solving (FS: SA) 3. Comparison and Discussion 4. Summary and Integration. Source: Masami Isoda (2011) 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

The PSA Includes 1. Enabling students to apply and extend the learned ideas to new problem situation by/for themselves (meaningful learning, FS). 2. Teacher must accept any ideas (any alternative answers, FS) of children if it is originated from what they already learned but allows them to talk on their demand.

RESULT 2 Source: Shadiq, (2016a) To change and improve the quality of teaching and learning process from a “typical” or “traditional” mathematics classroom to the new one and more innovative is not easy, but we can do it together. Beliefs about what mathematics is and why it is important (Goos and Vale, 2007:4) “Mathematics teachers’ beliefs have an impact on their classroom practice, on the ways they perceive teaching, learning, and assessment, and on the ways they perceive students’ potential, abilities, dispositions, and capabilities.” (Barkatsas and Malone, 2005:71) 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

Source: Goos and Vale (2007:5) Source: Goos and Vale (2007:5). Frei (2008:8) stated that often teachers feel comfortable teaching the way they were taught. 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V

2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V Lesson Learnt from QiM (The Real Problem): How to Change the Real Teaching Practice? Teachers need to experience in ways that they will be expected to teach it. Teachers need to understand the importance of math thinking. Teachers cannot teach what they themselves do not understand. (Isoda & Katagiri, 2012:37) One method in facilitating teacher to Change his/her Teaching Practice is by letting them to work cooperatively among themselves  Lesson Study.

How to help SEAMEO member countries mathematics teachers? 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V Several Questions What is the percentage of the certainty that we are able to change the paradigm and behavior of mathematics teachers? What are the arguments? What should be taken into account to increase the level of certainty of Q#1? What should be taken into account we will increase the percentage of SEAMEO member countries students who can work on the problems in the high category and advance level [requires reasoning] from only 5%? How to help SEAMEO member countries mathematics teachers?

Lesson Learnt from QiM: What Should be Done? 2017: SEAMEO-TSU Sym V Lesson Learnt from QiM: What Should be Done? To change teachers’ behavior in their classes is not easy. Teachers need our helps. Center should provides ‘real example’ of ‘ideal’ Math teaching process in Math classes.  Lesson Plan, Video, Open Lesson and Text-Books.  Learn from JICA & UoTsukuba. The need of radical change on the nature of examination. The need also of radical change on the pre-services system. One method in facilitating teacher to Change his/her Teaching Practice is by letting them to work cooperatively among themselves  Lesson Study.
