Implementation of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) in the Learning of Mathematics in Elementary School

摘要

This case study was aimed to assess implementation of the involvement of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) in the learning of mathematics in elementary school. Specifically, the study also examines the implementation MKT in the development of learning materials for mathematics as well as its effect on the student's learning material mastery Currently, the learning of mathematics, especially in elementary schools are having some problems, such as learning the math still more emphasis on the ability of mechanistic than sharpen the capability of reasoning. MKT gives specific limitation on the content side, knowledge and knowledge against content that must be mastered by teacher and ready to give in the learning of mathematics. This research showed the results that can be implemented on the MKT development of learning materials for mathematics in primary schools so as to increase mastery of mathematics teaching material of elementary school students. The implementation of MKT gives the positive impact against the mathematical ability of students. That is because the math learning resource utilization on MKT. MKT plays a very important role in learning mathematics, especially in elementary school.
