HOW TO UNCOVER THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENA

One of phenomena in psychology is traumatic. Traumatic is a case without an explanation. It is a communication problem. In communication there are three components i.e. sender, constrain, and receiver. If there is a deviation in these three components, so traumatic can be happened. Such as sender is a teacher and he presents his material by snapping, so the students will get traumatic on the subject which is taught by the teacher. To avoid the traumatic needs effective communication where from this communication will appear a flexible and contextual conversation. It can makes readiness or in educational concept known as apperception. The apperception is beginning from sensation or sense. When we learn mathematics, the sensation is the first step. For instance, when the teacher teaches mathematics to the students, he gives a story problem as follows:
“Mother has a cake. She has four children, and she want to give the cake to her children equally. How’s the way?”
The first step that is done by the students is listening the story from the teacher. Listen in this context is one of sensation form. Then the matter that they listen is processed by brain and they get perception that the cake is divided in order every child get same part. Then they divide the cake to be four equal part by the solution that has taught by the teacher about division. This part is called as concept. This step could be implemented in daily life.
Psychology tries not to be authoritative on the object of student so it will not give a traumatic effect. In education world, traumatic on the student is really fatal. Because of this, could be brought to the higher level. There are two concepts in mathematics learning:
1. Empirical concept
In this empirical concept, concept is based on experience, sensation, and fair. It is aimed to their sensation is developed so the aperception that’s appeared is suitable to their wants.
2. Analytical concepts or appriory concept
This concept has recursion characteristic. So, we don’t need to find data. The steps of apriority concept are:
a. Pure science
b. Definition
c. Axiom
d. Theorem

In mathematics teaching we must revitalize. The mistakes of sciences based on assumption that often undefined the term or something that doesn’t need to define because has been known.
