INDONESIA EDUCATION SYSTEM; TAMAN SISWA SHS
Albert Einstein ever said that "Everybody is a genius" but if you consider that all animals can climb the tree as well as a fish it means you are thoughtless. Indonesia students have to master all subjects and obey the curriculum. Curriculum changing by Ministry of Education changes leadership; therefore, they force students to adhere the curriculum. In practice, the system is not changing only the books they learn are changing. The success of applying curriculum focuses on three factors: people, programs, and processes (Ornstein & Hunkins (2009: 250). The President contributes consideration to Indonesia Education System with alteration of Curriculum KTSP 2006 to Curriculum 2013. Hence all aspects

Indonesia Education runs through the existence of curriculum. The curriculum is a heart of education related to education process in physical and non-physical (Oliva 1997:54). Curriculum 2013 is running in Indonesia now. Curriculum 2013 is underscoring the assessment not only in a test but also student attitude. Curriculum changes nevertheless the way of teaching, study process similar to previous curriculum only book which students learn is changing. The curriculum should accentuate to improve student skill in order to draw up their future. Class size has an effect to reach effectiveness of student at a school. Class size is calculated by dividing the number of student and number of class. We can see in Indonesia present more than 30 people in a class, as a result, the concentration of teacher and student will be not efficient. Reducing class becomes a benefit for the student in order to create them focus in class (Krueger, 2002) and there is a relation among reducing class with teacher exertion (Hattie, 2009; OECD, 2009). So that class size has an influence on how many time required by the student to focus on material given by the teacher and reducing class is important in Indonesia. Government effort to increase education system is a key to education efficacy in Indonesia. The Government especially The President have to focus on all aspect of …show more content…
Teacher Absence is one of a problem that will be influence student understanding in class. The effect of teacher absence in class with high frequency will make the students reach low understanding and score in class (Clotfelter, Ladd, and Vigdor, 2007). It happened when I absent to teach the class during two-day and I ask them to do the test then they do not understand. Many teachers in Indonesia do not have qualification as a teacher and do not master the subject. Teacher in Indonesia teach the lesson which is not their part, in an example, a teacher graduated as mathematics teacher but teach English. It will influence the student performance because there is a relationship between teacher and student in case of student achievement (e.g., Brok, 2001; Goh&Fraser,1998). The government has to give attention at salary and teacher certification, the professional teacher is supported by certification owned by the teacher of Ravik Karsidi (2005). In that way, student qualification will be reached if the teacher only focused on teaching the student in one lesson which is they major. Teacher Distribution in Indonesia is not well distributed this can be seen in a concessions area like Papua still have less teacher. The target of settlement and generalization learning are developing commitment, improving ability and cooperation (Settlement of Teacher Generalization, Wiwik Wijayanti & Mada

    Introduction In the 1950s, the Washington D.C. public schools (DCPS) began heading in the direction of failure with some of the lowest performing students with in the nation. Michelle Rhee, a former Teach for America teacher and an education reform advocate, was hired as the Chancellor in 2007 by Mayor Adrian Fenty, who emphasized education. Rhee believed that the accountability and quality of the teachers was crucial to the effectiveness of the students’ education and implemented the IMPACT system. In this paper, by using Moore’s Strategic Management Triangle, I will evaluate Rhee’s performance and argue that there was potential for the success of the reform agenda, but the misalignment of Rhee’s and the public’s value of substance, the lack of legitimacy from the community of politics, the administrative and operational infeasibility of the IMPACT system of administration caused Rhee to fail to deliver public value needs in the education reform.…

    The Dying Ember The presentation of educational material regardless if it’s in a textbook or on a PowerPoint is still the same information. The issue is not presentation but the lack of curiosity and motivation within the students. Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something. The absence of an ambitious drive to attain more than what is already at hand is the reason why many students today do not succeed in the educational system.…

    However, the unescapable problems that come with reducing class sizes are a major concern. Some teachers believe that students, particularly those in primary grades (k-6), would benefit most from a class size reduction. Studies have revealed that smaller classes are better for both the student and teacher in both scholastic and social skills. It is apparent that our country is interested in improving schools and the reduction of class sizes is one way they are tracking. States are considering the opportunities that reduction of class sizes will have on their students.…

    Amanda Ripley’s book The Smartest Kids in the World explains that dysfunctional education systems in many countries can be blamed on lack of proper discipline, which demonstrates in the film “The Class” by Laurent Cantet. A classroom consists of both teachers and students that even if one side does not participate or disturbs the class, the achievement and performance of both the teachers and the students are likely to be poor. The students’ inappropriate behaviors and languages in class, inattentive attitude on the importance of education, and teachers’ inability on teaching classes efficiently all prove that without certain practical rules or standards applied, low performance becomes common and even worsens if a change in discipline policy…

    All their worried about is talking to their friends and being on their phones. I know that we can’t have our phones out in Monroe City High School, but other schools can. If no one pays attention to the teacher then no one knows how to do the lesson and they all get bad grades on the assignment. You could argue that bigger classes are better because they can work in bigger groups and get better grades on projects but you could also argue that smaller classes are better. Small classes are better at some points because more one on one, but they are also bad because they are not always big enough to move on with the class.…

    For years, people have been questioning the root of the American education system’s troubles and placing the blame on various factors. However, it seems that all they have done is point out the problems, rather than taking the initiative to delve into and attempt to fix them. This is one of the main causes of the downfall of the education system. As a result, it continues to be dysfunctional and negatively impact students nationwide. In “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto, “Don’t Send Your Kids to the Ivy League” by William Deresiewicz, and “The Essentials of a Good Education” by Diane Ravitch, each author gives their opinion on what problems the educational system faces, addresses the causes of each problem, and describes ways to promote…

    With school having many students but not very many teachers classes are skewed beyond belief. Students do not get to pick their courses but are randomly assigned. This means if a student is interested in let’s say hairdressing and she gets put in a sewing class she is stuck in that sewing class. So students that are qualified to take an AP course may not be able to be put in those classes because they are randomly assigned and that means some kids are destined to fail if they are not up to AP standards and are put in an AP course. In addition, if students do not have internet or a place to study they have only a half hour after school to work in the library.…

    Throughout the course of my five days at the SAHETI primary school, I found myself astonished at various activities that are done throughout the day. Through the course of my practical, I was given a Grade two class to observe and I unquestionably discovered a recently developed love for that age group. I was always adamant from the first time I knew I wanted to become a teacher that I wanted to teach Grade one’s, but my thoughts have definitely evolved.
