My comment about Marsigit’s paper, it is a readable paper that important to read for teacher in order to vace globalitation, expecially mathematics teachers, it is important to read this paper in order to changes the learning methode. Up till now, teachers acts in education system. Many teachers still uses the traditional methode in their learning. It must changed into modern methode so the education system can be meaningful learning., and we can reach the national value and international standard.

Mendalami dan Mengembangkan Terminologi-Terminologi yang Muncul dalam Perkuliahan Bapak Marsigit
Dalam perkuliahan Pak Marsigit terdapat banyak istilah yang berhubungan dengan psikologi antara lain:
Persepsi: adalah proses pemahaman ataupun pemberian makna atas suatu informasi terhadap stimulus. Stimulus didapat dari proses penginderaan terhadap objek, peristiwa, atau hubungan-hubungan antar gejala yang selanjutnya diproses oleh otak. Proses kognisi dimulai dari persepsi.
Intuisi: adalah istilah untuk kemampuan memahami sesuatu tanpa melalui penalaran rasional dan intelektualitas. Sepertinya pemahaman itu tiba-tiba saja datangnya dari dunia lain dan diluar kesadaran.
Berpikir: merupakan aktivitas kognitif manusia yang cukup kompleks. Berpikir melibatkan berbagai bentuk gejala jiwa seperti sensasi, persepsi, maupun memori.
Sensasi: proses masuknya stimulus ke dalam alat indera.
Persepsi: proses untuk menerjemahkan atau menginterpretasi stimulus yang masuk ke dalam alat indera.
Memori: kemampuan untuk memasukkan, menyimpan, dan memunculkan kembali informasi yang diterima.
Consept: adalah abstrak, entitas mental yang universal yang menunjuk pada kategori atau kelas dari suatu entitas, kejadian atau hubungan.
Apersepsi: Apersepsi bisa berupa cerita, lagu, video ataupun gambar dll.
Ruang: suatu tempat, menampilkan pertalian cerita dalam bentuk alur berbalik atau cerita flashback.
Waktu: adalah seluruh rangkaian saat ketika proses, perbuatan atau keadaan berada atau berlangsung. Dalam hal ini, skala waktu merupakan interval antara dua buah keadaan/kejadian, atau bisa merupakan lama berlangsungnya suatu kejadian
Empiric: berarti suatu keadaan yang bergantung pada bukti atau konsekuensi yang teramati oleh indera. Data empiris berarti data yang dihasilkan dari percobaan atau pengamatan.
Synthetic and analytic: The analytic-synthetic is a conceptual distinction, used primarily in philosophy to distinguish propositions into two types: analytic propositions and synthetic propositions.
Apriori: secara harafiah berarti "sejak yang pertama". Frasa ini digunakan sebagai sinonim untuk metoda penalaran Deduktif.
Aposteriori: secara harafiah berarti "dari yang terakhir". Frasa ini digunakan sebagai sinonim untuk metoda penalaran Induktif.
Judgment: adalah evaluasi mengambil keputusan
Category: berhubungan dengan struktur matematika dan hubungan antar struktur tersebut secara abstrak. Saat ini kategori digunakan dalam matematika, informatika teori, dan fisika matematis.
Abstract: adalah suatu kumpulan entitas tak terdefinisi (Inggris: undefined terms) yang didefinisikan secara umum (atau secara universal) melalui berbagai aksioma atau postulat.
Pluralism: is used, often in different ways, across a wide range of topics to denote a diversity of views, and stands in opposition to one single approach or method of interpretation
Istilah-istilah di atas adalah beberapa istilah yang ada dalam pembelajaran psikologi Pak Marsigit, semoga bermanfaat.
A Psycology Symptom from the Junior High School’s Student in Study Mathematics
Question
A chicken’s cage will be made in form of rectangle. Strand of metal length which available to making cage is 16 metres.
If cage length of x metre, expressing width in x!
Determine formula of L(x), that is function of wide !
Determine the measurement of cage in order to get maximum area!
How much is wide [of] maximum that cage?
The answer of responder
The circle of length square (K) = x
The width of cage = l
K= 2x + 2l
16 = 2x + 2l
2l = 16 – 2x
l = 8 –x
L (x) = p x l
= x ( 8 – x )
= 8x – x2
In order to get a maximum area, so:
= 4
So The length is 4 and the width of cage is 8 – 4 = 4.
The maximum wide = L (4)
= 8 (4) - 42
= 32 – 16
= 16

Observation
Interview
Question 1 : What is your opinion about your mathematics teacher ?
Answer : He is a pleasant teacher.
Question 2 : How was your feel if you meet mathematics education ?
Answer : I like mathematis so I feel confort if I meet mathematics lesson. Beside that. The teacher uses appropriate methods, so the education system is no boring.
Question 3 : what is the methods that your teacher use ?
Answer : My teacher uses cooperative learning so the education is confortable.
Conclussion
A responder psychological symptom when he was doing the task is he felt happy. He finished the task with appropriate. The question is medium task. From the observation above, we conclude that to increase mathematics ability, the teachers should developted their quality of education. They must use the appropriate method to reach a goal eduation system.
From the observation above, we can conclude that the result of given mathematics question for respondent is mathematics is not difficult. If we have to like mathematics, we should don’t think that mathematics is difficult lesson
How To Uncover Psycological Fenomena of Mathematical Education By Applying Quantitative Methods
As candidate mathematics teacher, we should be able to comprehend student character so that can apply appropriate study method. Teachers have no choice but to choose a goal structure for each lesson they teach. For every learning task, teachers have a choice of structuring it competitively, individualistically, or cooperatively. Which structure is choosen determines how students interact with each other, which in turn determines the outcomes achieved. Achievement will be higher when learning situations are structured cooperatively rather than competitively or individualistically.
From wikipedia, quantitative methods are research techniques that are used to gather quantitative data - information dealing with numbers and anything that is measurable. Statistics, tables and graphs, are often used to present the results of these methods.
Mathematics is the basic of another sciences. Learnt mathematics, human being can finish problem exist in society, that is in communicating everyday like can calculate, can count of wide, weight and content, can collect, process, presenting and interpreteng data,, can finish the problem of other science area, earn and uses calculation of computer, can trade and go shopping, can communicate via article / draw like reading graph, etc.
Teachers act needed to over come the student from frightened with mathematics lesson. The techers should uses the vareation education system, and uses the appropriate methods. To reach the goal education, the teachers have improved their teaching, made it more enjoyable, and made teaching easier for themselves.
