What Can I Reflect About Psychological Aspects, If The Student is Confronted With The Following Questions

The questions are about un equation linear.

Finished these un equation linear below!

1. 3 x + 4 less or equals than 0

2. 2 x – 3 more than 5

Lets we observe those sample of un equations linear questions. I’ll try to describe and assuming the student’s effects for the first time if they had given those question.

For the first time when they had given those question without they know more before, I think they will be so surprised and confuse. And maybe in their mind would be many questions and prejudice, likes: what kind of the food is this? Does my teacher angry with me so that they wanna makes me dizzy? Or what should I do with these questions??

It’s very normal if students thinks like that because everyone free to express their self including to express their mind.; )

The problem of the students maybe when they look those questions. Before, they are usually and familiar looking at the equation with the sign “=”, and it’s more special because they find other sign like or . They are also directly thinking. Is it the way to solve the problems with the sign “=” same as the "more than" , "less than" ,"more or equals than" , "less or equals than" or another sign? Or it is more difficult and more complicated? It’s can makes the students nervous too, let alone if the teacher command them to write the solution on the blackboard. Especially for the students who doesn’t study before enter the class. Just reading for a while I think can help them to understand the concept although just a little bit, but if we don’t read it before, out brain are blank, and it is nonsense.

Sometimes, the students will be afraid if they should solve those question. Because it is not familiar yet with themselves and they think they cannot finished it and in their mind appears some frightened like “the teacher must be angry to me” or “my friends will mocked me if I cant solve the problem correctly”.

To solve those questions the students must know more about the concept of un equations. And the process started when they learn linear equation. From the basic concept of linear equations the student easily understand and can solve the un equation linear. First, the teacher must describe about un equation linear and makes an example how to solve the problem and next the students can applicate the theory from the teachers to solve another questions.

To makes the students familiar with un equations linear, they must try to solve another problems of un equation linear. I think like that….thank you so much
