Abstract

The learning of geometric transformations in schools is often reduced to procedural understanding, which triggers epistemological barriers and existential anxiety for students. The research problem of this study concerns the essence of students' subjective experiences in the topic of geometric transformations. This study aims to reconstruct the essence of students' subjective experiences in learning this material to fill the gap in the literature that has long been dominated by cognitive-quantitative studies. The novelty of this research lies in revealing the emotional dimension and embodied experience from a first-person perspective. Through a qualitative method with a phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of students at one Private Madrasah Aliyah in Kota Batu. The results of the study reveal four main structures of experience: (1) mathematical anxiety operates as a pre-reflective barrier that blocks access to cognition; (2) the phenomenon of embodied cognition where the body and physical gestures become vital anchors in spatial abstraction; (3) the occurrence of silent struggle due to pseudo intersubjectivity in the classroom; and (4) ontological transformation from fear towards self-meaning. The research conclusion emphasizes that learning geometry is not merely a cognitive event, but a phenomenological event that requires a humanistic pedagogical approach by integrating affective, bodily, and social dimensions.

Abstract

Mathematics learning is often perceived as an abstract activity detached from students’ real-life contexts, which results in low meaningfulness and conceptual understanding. The Contextual Teaching and Learning approach offers an alternative by connecting mathematical concepts to students’ real experiences; however, studies examining this approach from the perspective of the philosophy of mathematics education remain limited. This research aims to analyze the implementation of Contextual Teaching and Learning from the ontological and epistemological perspectives of the philosophy of mathematics education. This study employs a qualitative method in the form of library research, combined with descriptive and philosophical analysis of CTL from ontological and epistemological viewpoints within the philosophy of mathematics education. The findings indicate that, ontologically, CTL views mathematics as meaningful and contextual knowledge whose existence is understood through students’ learning experiences. Epistemologically, CTL is grounded in constructivism, positioning students as active subjects who construct mathematical knowledge through experience, interaction, and reflection. The synthesis of these two perspectives affirms that CTL is not merely a teaching approach, but rather a philosophically coherent paradigm of mathematics education. The conclusion of this study demonstrates that the implementation of CTL has a strong philosophical foundation and is relevant for fostering meaningful, contextual mathematics learning oriented toward students’ conceptual understanding.
