MENEMUKAN KEMBALI RUMUS LUAS PERSEGI PANJANG DENGAN KONSTRUKTIVISME (STUDI KASUS PADA MAHASISWA PGSD)
Abstract: A knowledge is the
result from students' self-construction idea, which makes more meaning full of
learning process. Sometimes, teachers forget to elicit students’ life
experience as their prior knowledge. If this prior knowledge exposed, student
will be easily received the new idea, because the students indirectly build their
own knowledge. The constructivism point of learning is a teaching and learning
process in such a way will make students are mentally active in construct their
own knowledge, based on their cognitive structure. It must be considered how
the children forming their concept in cognitive structure as the acquisition in
geometry concepts. Knowing of the geometry formulas is not a guarantee that the
student has thoroughly been learning about the geometry concept. On the other
hand, the formula of rectangles’ area is not come instantly, but it can be
reformulated by the construction of students’ prior knowledge. I brought them
in a specific activity that makes them enjoy and vigorously; students are
directed to find a rectangles’ formula.
