COMPARISON BETWEEN TRADITIONAL WAY OF MATHEMATICS TEACHING AND INNOVATIVE WAY OF MATHEMATICS TEACHING



A.    Introduction
      Mathematics is the knowledge that always follow the development of globalization era. So that, the teaching learning process also must be appropriated with the development of technology and so on. Mathematics education have the aspect inside it. Now, we will analyze all of the aspect and the kinds of the way in teaching learning process of mathematics. We are trying to understand all of the education aspect then we are trying to implement it.
B.     Content
There are two kinds of mathematics teaching way. They are traditional way of mathematics teaching and innovative way of mathematics teaching. In that two ways, there are some aspect that can be used to determine the differences between two kinds of the way. They are (Down to Up):

1.      Examples
2.      Activities
3.      Programs
4.      Models
5.      Schema
6.      Design
7.      Theories
8.      Paradigm
9.      Philosophy
10.  Religious

      All of the aspect can not be separated or isolated but it is related to another.
There are pros and cons to it as well in these ways of teaching. The teacher-centered approach (traditional method) assumes that all students have similar levels of knowledge in the subject being taught and they absorb new material in a similar pace. The student-centered learning  (innovative method) approach allows students to work together in small groups and answer a posed question. These students can be at different levels of knowledge and abilities to learn since students assist each other in the process. With the teacher-centered or traditional approach, the teacher guides the student and offers him or her new information with little interaction.
We can not judge that the innovative way of mathematics teaching is the best way so that the students can get the high of academically achievement. Because we know that the innovative way is done in the long time until get the best way to teach the students and hope it can be used in a long time. Differ with the innovative way, the traditional way only need a short time to apply its method, but it can be called as an examination oriented not for the long time.
The last, the teaching methods should be balance because it both brings good intentions in educating a person for the better future of everyone. Thus it sends out the same message even in different way but yet it is useful.
C.    Conclusion
      Our society these days are divided in to two different way of thinking on the education. Some believe that innovative methods are better than the traditional method of teaching but yet these two methods are both a successful way. In my opinion, every method in teaching is the same for they deliver the same message to the students. It depends on how the teacher make the condition of the classroom is comfort and happiness.
