Mathematics education research activities by teachers, lecturers as well as by prospective teachers will provide many benefits. Through a study of mathematics education, we can see what is happening in a process of learning mathematics. Whether it's teachers and students. From this research we can know of any individual or group differences in learning mathematics, we can also determine the position of students in the group, and can compare learning outcomes among individuals and groups. In addition, from a study of mathematics education we can also make individual diagnosis of learning difficulties in learning mathematics and we can also perform a variety of ways to overcome them.

Through research of mathematics education, teacher can be more open minded again in response to reforms in the teaching of mathematics. Especially in terms of learning methods. If researchers want to improve or want to acquire an innovative method of learning mathematics, the researcher needs to take a look on context of learning mathematics, the methods teachers use and management of learning mathematics.

We also can do a match between goals and results of learning outcomes. Research results can be used for refining the program, counseling, provision of information to the public. Besides that we also can do a comparison between the performance and criteria for each dimension of the program and refining the program and the inference results of mathematics education as a whole. Then we can conduct studies on the implementation of the program, the environmental impact study, the influence of the program, curriculum or syllabus of learning outcomes, and ultimately used for the improvement of mathematics education program as a whole.
