Civilize math in school have an understanding aspects of the nature of mathematics, the essence of school mathematics, mathematics education essence, the essence of the value of mathematics, the essence of studying mathematics, the nature of mathematics teaching and learning process, the essence of school mathematics pembuyayaan. In describing how to cultivate math in school, then we still have to think about mathematics education, teaching mathematics, mathematical thinking, and so on. Katagiri (2004) describes that mathematical thinking involves three aspects namely: the attitude of mathematics, methods of thinking about mathematics and mathematics content.
Mathematical acculturation is an implication of awareness of the importance of reflection activities through the study of mathematics and mathematics education mathematics in various dimensions. Thus the mathematical acculturation implies how far we are able to perform activities in a range of intentions, attitudes, knowledge, skills and experience of mathematics, mathematics education and mathematics learning. Acculturation of mathematics can be achieved on the basis of an understanding of mathematical knowledge that is objective and subjective mathematics actors in its efforts to obtain the justification of the truth of mathematics through the creation, formulation, representation, publication and interaction.
Hartman (1942) outlined that anything about the object of thought, including mathematics, always has a value includes 4 (four) things: value due to its meaning, value or benefit because the purpose, value due to its function and value due to its uniqueness. To be able to cultivate business mathematics in school, then we should use the material dimensions of math or math on the dimensions of the transition to formal mathematics.
1. The nature of the School of Mathematics and learning
Acculturation of mathematics in schools can emphasize the human relationships in the dimensions and appreciate individual differences in both the ability and pangalamannya. If mathematics is seen as absolute truth and certainty, but individuals are particularly prominent role in achievement. But students can be viewed as an evolving creature. Therefore mathematics is seen as more humane, among others, can be regarded as a language, human creativity. Personal opinions are highly valued and emphasized. Students have the right of individuals to protect themselves and their experiences and develop according to its potential.
2. Hermenitika acculturation of Mathematics
The basic elements of mathematics is an activity hermenitika civilizing communicate mathematics in various dimensions. Communication of mathematics is a form of potential korelational vitality that has the properties of the appointment of terkarakterisasinya terjunjuk properties based on the properties of the guide.
a. Communication materials math
Communications material is dominated by the nature of mathematics from the direction of the horizontal nature of its vitality. In terms of involvement, then the number of units involved are the potential is minimal when compared to the communication from the other dimensions. So some people can gain awareness that communication is communication with the math materials the lowest dimension.
b. Formal communication of mathematics
Formal communication of mathematics is dominated by correlational properties out or into the vitality of its potential. Correlation to the outside or into a meaningful distinction between properties that are out and the properties inside. Correlation between differences in the properties that determine the nature of the subject or the object of communication.
c. Normative communication of mathematics
Normative mathematical communication is characterized by the properties of the appointment meluruhnya korelasionalitas appointment on the subject and the object itself. However, normative communication is said to have a higher dimension due to its potential involvement satuansatuan more, wider and more complex.
d. Spiritual communication of mathematics
Spiritual communication of mathematics is to accommodate all the existing communication and that may exist. With communications into and out will be reached a state where subject and object of communication with nature without nature. Nor does it mean the subject and object of communication at the level of metaphysical mathematics of spiritual communication can be identified using correlational relationship potential and vitality of the subject and object.
