Abstract

One ability that a teacher must have is capable to see how students construct knowledge inside of them. Knowledge construction process is one of mental activity that experienced by a students to develop their knowledge through two process such as assimilat ion and accomodation then by equilibration as the adaptation. However, teacher needs to consider thought pattern of a student because thought patterns have relevance in construction process itself which affect on how someone gather and use their knowledge through perception and the information processing that they have accept. Thought patterns consist by four type such as Sequential Sophisticated, Sequential Abstract, Random Sophisticated and Random Abstract that if we refer to mathematics learning, Sequential Abstract will be on the first place based on former research and considering that mathematics are hierachial and abstract. This matter is kind of hard to see by a teacher but will be ver y helpful if they know it, because teacher can plan the learning to optimize four of the thought patterns as well as knowledge construction process, students will be able to answer question of "How can we know what we know"
