            Secara umum, kegiatan yang merefleksikan konteks Jepang dalam mengajar matematika melalui VTR dalam program pelatihan, dianggap baik dan berguna oleh guru. Para guru merasa bahwa kegiatan tersebut perlu disosialisasikan ke kabupaten lain agar guru lain lebih dapat mempelajarinya. Mereka merasa bahwa ajaran yang tercermin dalam VTR adalah model yang baik yang juga dapat diterapkan dalam konteks Indonesia. Namun, mereka menyadari bahwa tidak mudah untuk menerapkannya.
            Persepsi guru tentang VTR: a) VTR merupakan model yang baik untuk mengajar matematika, b) VTR adalah model yang baik dan perlu disosialisasikan kepada guru-guru lain, c) mereka bersedia membahas ke rekan-rekan mereka setelah pelatihan, d) pengajaran di VTR adalah model yang baik tetapi masih ada beberapa kendala untuk melaksanakan, berasal dari kurangnya waktu guru, ketidaksiapan siswa, batas anggaran, kurangnya fasilitas pendidikan. Para guru menyatakan bahwa mereka optimis mampu menerapkan model pengajaran. Mereka menyarankan bahwa untuk melaksanakan model pengajaran yang baik, mereka perlu meningkatkan kompetensi mereka dalam pengajaran.
            Para guru mengatakan bahwa mereka akan mencoba untuk meningkatkan pengajaran mereka meliputi: meningkatkan Persiapan Pelajaran, Lembar Kerja Siswa, mengajar konten dan metodologi pengajaran. "Guru merasa bahwa mereka akan mengembangkan model pengajaran setelah pelatihan dalam rangka Pendidikan Matematika Realistik dan pendekatan Konstruktivis. Guru juga menyatakan bahwa mereka akan mengembangkan metode diskusi dan demonstrasi serta berbagai metode.
            Menurut guru, sebagian besar siswa tidak siap atau tidak mampu menyajikan ide-ide mereka, itu membutuhkan waktu bagi mereka untuk membiasakan untuk melakukan itu. Kurangnya fasilitas pendidikan, padahal guru harus mampu mengembangkan media pengajaran. Yang paling sulit untuk menerapkan model yang baik seperti praktek mengajar adalah alokasi waktu. Beberapa guru tidak mudah untuk mengambil dalam keseimbangan antara pencapaian kompetensi siswa dan mempertimbangkan proses mereka belajar. Para guru berharap bahwa sekolah-sekolah dan pemerintah mendukung pengembangan profesional mereka termasuk kesempatan untuk mendapatkan pelatihan, untuk berpartisipasi dalam konferensi dan untuk berpartisipasi di klub guru. Para guru merasa bahwa di klub guru mereka dapat mendiskusikan dan mengembangkan rencana pelajaran dan lembar kerja siswa.    Belajar dari VTR, ada beberapa indikasi umum dapat diuraikan:
1. Mempromosikan kerjasama di antara para guru, peneliti dalam teknologi pendidikan dan dalam mata pelajaran disiplin, administrator, pelatih, orang tua, dll.
2.   Meningkatkan investasi dalam penelitian dan pengembangan dan dalam penciptaan lingkungan belajar baru untuk bekerja sama.

            Managing the learning is not easy because we find that students sometimes have difficulty in learning. If teachers are required to innovate learning then he must be part of a system that promotes innovation as well. Given the teacher in learning organize most often used as a reference text book, then so too can be obstacles to innovation efforts.
            Competency-based education (Curriculum 2004) has now become an alternative to organized learning that emphasizes the skills that should be possessed by the graduates; curriculum was developed based on the elaboration of a basic skills competency standards. Standards of competence is an ability that can be performed or displayed in the learning, while the basic skills is a minimal ability in the subject which should be owned by students. Basic skills may include the ability of affective, cognitive and psychomotor. So that teachers can bring innovation to stimulate student learning, there are some concepts that need to be understood about the nature of science includes understanding each field, the nature of the subject students, and changes in attitude and implementation associated with the change of paradigm. Pupils will learn if they have the motivation.
            The implications of this view for business teachers are: (1) provide a fun activity, (2) pay attention to students' desires, (3) develop an understanding through what is known by students, (4) create a classroom atmosphere that supports learning activities, (5) gives activities appropriate to the learning objectives. Students learn in their own way
The implication of this view are: (1) students learn in different ways and at different speeds, (2) each student requires a special experience that is connected with his experiences in the past, (3) each student has a background of socio-economic-cultural is different. Therefore, teachers need to: (1) know the advantages and disadvantages of their students, (2) planning activities appropriate to student ability level, (3) build the knowledge and skills that he's a good student acquired at school and at home, (4) using the records of student progress (assessment). Students learn both independently and through cooperation with
friend.
            The implications of this view for business teachers are: (1) provides an opportunity to learn in a group to train co-operation, (2) provide learning opportunities in the classical style to give an opportunity to exchange ideas, (3) provide an opportunity for students to conduct their activities independently, (4 ) involve students in decision-making on activities to be done, and (5) teach how to learn.

            With the immediate implementation of Unit Level Curriculum on Education at all levels of education, ranging from basic education, secondary education and
higher education naturally raises many new problems, especially when associated with
implementation of learning in each subject. The teachers, as the spearhead of educational activities, need to understand in depth about the philosophy and concept of SBC, in a sense: what is the intrinsic meaning of the SBC, SBC where the trend should be taken / developed, what are the components that must exist, and how to develop it, and so on.
In the era of regional autonomy in which the central powers more reduced,
while the regional authority is large and spacious. Of course, the era
regional autonomy also carries a wide impact, including of course for the field
of education. In the curriculum the teacher is the curriculum developers who are in a decisive and strategic position.
            Unit Level Curriculum on Education is the operational curriculum
developed and implemented by each educational unit. SBC as a manifestation
of primary and secondary education curriculum is developed in accordance with its relevance
by any group or committee of the education unit and school under
coordination and supervision of the local education office of the Department of Religious District / City for basic education and secondary education to the province based on the Standard Content and Competency Standards Graduates and curriculum guides are composed by BSNP.
Unit Level Curriculum on Education was developed based on the following principles:
·           centered on the potential, development, needs and interests of learners and their environment.
·           diverse and integrated
·           responsive to the development of science, technology and art
·           relevant to the needs of life
·           comprehensive and sustainable

            Dalam Kurikulum Berbasis Sekolah, dinyatakan bahwa matematika di sekolah dasar dan menengah harus mendorong siswa untuk berpikir logis, analitis, sistematis, kritis, kreatif dan mampu berkolaborasi dengan orang lain. Implementasi kurikulum matematika dasar dan menengah di ruang kelas perlu mengembangkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah yang mencakup masalah tertutup dan terbuka. Dalam memecahkan masalah, siswa perlu kreatif untuk mengembangkan banyak alternatif, untuk mengembangkan model matematika, dan untuk memperkirakan hasilnya. Pendekatan kontekstual dan realistis disarankan untuk dikembangkan oleh guru agar mendorong pemikiran matematika di sekolah dasar. Dengan pendekatan ini, membuat mereka belajar mengajar matematika primer lebih efektif, guru juga perlu mengembangkan sumber daya seperti teknologi informasi, alat bantu mengajar dan media lainnya.
            Serangkaian kegiatan Lesson Study dapat dianggap sebagai serangkaian kegiatan budaya yang diselenggarakan oleh guru atau sekelompok guru untuk mempromosikan pemikiran matematika anak-anak. Banyak kegiatan kelompok kecil yang fleksibel dan tidak memiliki titik akhir yang jelas, ditentukan oleh guru. Namun, diskusi kelompok kecil menawarkan konteks yang menarik di mana untuk mengeksplorasi partisipasi anak berinteraksi. Secara umum, ketika tugas memiliki titik akhir yang jelas, telah diasumsikan bahwa anak-anak berpikir menuju titik itu. Ini serangkaian penelitian secara khusus pada sikap dan metode para siswa mengembangkan pemikiran matematika untuk belajar matematika. Pengalaman menunjukkan bahwa guru dapat mempekerjakan Lesson Study untuk berpikir matematika. Guru dianggap menjadi subyek penelitian serta menjadi peneliti. Dengan mengajukan perencanaan, melakukan dan melihat, penelitian diharapkan dapat mengungkap aspek pemikiran matematika siswa.
            Bukti-bukti menunjukkan bahwa dalam jangka waktu pendekatan yang realistis, berpikir matematika dapat dilakukan melalui mengidentifikasi atau menjelaskan matematika tertentu, schematizing, merumuskan dan visualisasi masalah dalam cara yang berbeda, mengenali aspek isomorfis dalam masalah yang berbeda; mentransfer masalah nyata dunia untuk masalah matematika. Para siswa mengggunakan cara yang berbeda untuk melakukan schematizing, merumuskan dan visualisasi. Siswa berpikir induktif dan metode yang terlibat konkretisasi abstraksi di bidang pembentukan dan pemahaman masalah. Ketika siswa telah mengenal konsep-konsep tertentu, mereka cenderung untuk menegaskan kembali konsep-konsep mereka. Organisasi logis dari konsep matematika yang terjadi dalam semua konteks metode matematika: idealisasi, abstraksi, deduksi, induksi dan penyederhanaan. Masalah pembentukan dan pemahaman muncul ketika siswa mengamati model matematika.

            Filsafat pendidikan matematika meliputi review dari beberapa masalah utama pendidikan matematika: ideologi, fondasi dan tujuannya. Hal ini juga melayani wawasan yang lebih dalam sifat aspek: sifat matematika, nilai matematika, sifat siswa, sifat pembelajaran, sifat pengajaran matematika, sifat sumber belajar mengajar, sifat penilaian, sifat matematika sekolah, sifat siswa belajar matematika. Dalam rangka untuk memiliki gambaran yang jelas tentang peran studi filsafat matematika dan hubungannya dengan kegiatan workshop, mungkin akan dibahas tentang sifat pengembangan sumber daya manusia dan sifat studi pelajaran dalam pendidikan matematika.
            Dalam perspektif yang lebih umum, dapat dikatakan bahwa filsafat pendidikan matematika bertujuan untuk menjelaskan dan menjawab pertanyaan tentang status dan landasan objek pendidikan matematika dan metode, yaitu, ontologis memperjelas sifat setiap komponen pendidikan matematika, dan epistemologis untuk mengklarifikasi apakah semua pernyataan yang bermakna pendidikan matematika memiliki tujuan dan menentukan kebenaran. Ideologi pendidikan matematika mencakup sistem kepercayaan mana cara pendidikan matematika diterapkan. Mereka menutupi radikal, konservatif, liberal, dan demokrasi. Perbedaan ideologi pendidikan matematika dapat menyebabkan perbedaan pada bagaimana mengembangkan dan mengelola pengetahuan, mengajar, belajar, dan sekolah.           Matematika terdiri dari ide-ide pemikiran dibingkai oleh penanda di kedua waktu dan ruang. Namun, setiap dua individu membangun ruang dan waktu berbeda, yang hadir kesulitan bagi orang-orang berbagi bagaimana mereka melihat sesuatu. Selanjutnya, berpikir matematika secara kontinyu dan evolusi, sedangkan ide-ide matematika konvensional sering diperlakukan seolah-olah mereka memiliki kualitas statis tertentu. Tugas untuk kedua guru dan siswa adalah untuk menenun bersama-sama. Secara filosofis, tujuan dari peregangan pendidikan matematika dari gerakan kembali ke dasar aritmatika mengajar, sertifikasi, transfer pengetahuan, kreativitas, hingga mengembangkan siswa pemahaman. Sekali waktu, seorang guru matematika yang menyampaikan gagasan bahwa tujuan dari pelajaran matematika adalah lebih baik menggunakan matematika, lebih maju terminologi dan untuk memahami suatu konsep tertentu matematika. Guru lain menyatakan bahwa tujuan dari pelajaran matematika adalah untuk mencapai gagasan yang dinyatakan dalam silabus.

            The reform movement in Indonesia is an anticlimax of a state where moral values ​​in the political, legal, social, economic decline very sharply in a period of more than three decades. Powerlessness of the community in various aspects of the immediate implications of the deflection direction of development that makes the people only as objects and not as subjects. Society and the Indonesian people are now entering the third millennium faces a tough challenge in all aspects of life.
            National educational reform can be done at two levels ie at the macro and micro. In the macro, national education reform must be able to renew the vision and develop the educational paradigm and completely eroded the constraints of education while maintaining and improving the quality and professionalism and community empowerment towards Indonesia. New namely an open, democratic and united. For a practitioner of education (teachers), educational reforms at the macro level for a few things are beyond the scope of his thinking and his ability. But considering teacher education is a critical success, then teachers can play a role object and subject of education reform by improving the ability to educate and manage the classroom. But reality is not easy because it educates students find that learning is not easy. There are still a considerable gap between educational ideals and practices in the field.
            Math scores can be seen from the context of ontological, epistemological and axiological within the limits of intrinsic value, extrinsik and systemic. For a self-learner of mathematics then the lowest value of mathematics is that if only his own use, a higher value if math can be used for public interest. But the highest math scores is if it can be used systemically for wider interest. But the values ​​of mathematics that is developed should be coupled with critical thinking because mathematics is none other than critical thinking itself. The sharpness of the future of mathematics can wander through the concept of teleology that what happens in the future at least be photographed through the present. Nevertheless there are still other values ​​are related to levels of quality. At first the quality of math scores only appear on the outside, but on the quality of the second and third and so on then the value of mathematics is metaphysical. With analog thinking then what happens to the disclosure of the value of mathematics can be used also in the disclosure of the noble values ​​of the nation. The nation noble values ​​achieved again none other than simply by the method of translating and translated from the context of the passage of time past, present, and future. This is then known people with hermenitika method. In the field of education, teachers need to continually evaluate deficiency or excess of teaching in order to obtain information for improvement of teaching; if you need to learn new techniques are more attractive and effective.

            Planning and curriculum development is a job that requires in-depth and comprehensive study to meet the eligibility requirements. Dynamic development of the Indonesian nation today, demanding that the need to pay attention to curriculum development: current issues in education, the issues arising in the field, variation of schools, educational personnel, interests and abilities of students, as well as the demands of social development, science and technology . Six basic principles must be considered in the development of mathematics syllabus based on competencies, namely: (1) the subject of learning opportunities for all students without exception, (2) curriculum is not merely a collection of teaching materials, but may reflect a coherent mathematical activities, (3) learning mathematics requires understanding of student learning needs, readiness to learn and learning facility services, (4) opportunities for students to learn mathematics actively to build the structure of concepts through knowledge and experience, (5) the need for assessment activities to improve the quality of learning from time to time, and ( 6) utilization of various learning strategies and methods dynamically and flexibly in accordance with the material, students and the learning context.
            Competency-based mathematics education emphasizes the skills that should be possessed by graduates; so that the curriculum was developed based on the elaboration of competence standards into basic competencies. Standards of competence is an ability that can be performed or displayed in the learning of mathematics, while at least basic competence is an ability in mathematics courses that must be possessed by students. Basic competency skills can be affective, cognitive and psychomotor. Main problems in learning math-related learning objectives, how to achieve that goal and how to know that this objective has been achieved. Therefore, the syllabus mathematics courses need to be arranged so that the load lines of material that refers to the mathematical characteristics in accordance with the competencies to be achieved.
            Experiences and learning activities are activities that students need to be done in order to achieve the basic competencies and learning materials. Judging from the competencies to be achieved, the experience can learn to memorize, use, and find; seen from the material side the learning experience can be associated with acquired facts, concepts, principles, etc.. The learning experience can be obtained both inside and outside the classroom. The learning experience students need to be supported by the availability of source material, either a direct object and indirect object that is contextual. Thus, the learning strategies can be developed: (1) emphasis on problem solving, (2) learning in various contexts of everyday life, (3) encourage students as active Learners, (4) appreciate the uniqueness of the student and pay attention to the diversity of student differences , (5) learning through cooperative learning, and (6) develop the assessment in the test system. Development and learning experiences is the essence of mathematics competency-based curriculum, where the study of the characteristics contained therein mathematics, learners and learning mathematics subjects.
