HOW TO PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL OF SCHOOLING IF I WERE HEADMASTER


By: Hafizh Praditya Mahardika/09301241001

Education is Very Important for us, Because with education will of the people be creative, quality, smart, and innovative. Without education there is no culture, without culture there is no civil, without civil there is no life, there is no life withoot country. Cleary, We need education very much. But We know that in education teher That is the system it can be supported or it can be obstacles, so We must be carefull with the system. Exactly in Indonesia, the education system must more corrected. The quality of countries usually looking from Their education, or have been good enough yet. Their quality more education, more quality Their country also, the point of quality of countries is in education.Indonesia Should apply international standards of education if Indonesia want to correct Their quality and if Indonesia want to Compete with other counties. With the result, the Government is incessanting increase of Indonesian to develop an international competitive power by the standard level of schooling. But how We Can make it?, Here we know that in education there are steps to the make quality, so we can start it through the basics, from this side when I became principal. Things I would do to promotes the international level of schooling is to go from myself, then the teachers, the official, the students, and all people in school environments. As we know, that of course everything starts from the bottom, then slowly through stage by stage doomed to success. Similarly, only to promotes my school to be intanitonal level. Because here nuanced international, it is not unusual when if I as a direct principal declared the use of English language learning, of course, will I encounter in the future is a tremendous failure. Even worse, the school will be closed. But before the international standards applied in the school curriculum, it is true the use of English in everyday learning is a necessary condition, but the use of English is not necessarily enforced. Bilingual learning program which I feel is appropriate to begin the international level of schooling. In the development of this practice there are several key points, among them: an innovative vision and the changes reflect, in accordance with international and national criteria, in accordance with the essence of education, in line with the socio-Constructivists, cognitive development, and world class research on learning. In accordance with the changing times that has begun to international standards, then the educational experience should also follow international standards as well. So inevitably the students and teachers must use English language as well. But as we know, that can not base the use of English in the field of education, so that through the stages of bilingual international standardization is expected to be achieved. The new learning approach began to be encouraged, which include: learning is the search for patterns and relationships, problem solving activity, investigation, and communication. There is also an alternative instrument of teaching practice, namely: Apperception, works group discussions, developing teaching media and aids, developing teaching methods, developing interaction, student's presentation, developing student's worksheet, developing lesson plans, conclusion by the students, and the scheme of competencies achievements. But the reality on the ground there is often a looming obstacle, such as: perceptions of teachers and schools, the kind of cooperation with schools, types of programs and activities of PPL, the terms and supporting factors, due to teacher professional development, and the position and contribution to the international level. However I can optimistically pass these obstacles.

In teaching mathematics to students is not easy, because the Kuga students have difficulty in learning mathematics. Plus, there is no best way to teach mathematics. But if there is a method that can be used to support teacher learning, the method of exposition, discussion, problem solving, investigation, basic training principles and skills, as well as implementation.Obstacles that may impede the continuity of teaching and learning activities include: understanding of the meaning of theory, application of methods that do not match, the system is less support, conditions are less conducive learning environment, and limited learning facilities. On the other hand, teachers also experienced difficulties in terms of internal teachers, such as: difficulty in dealing with differences in their students' math skills, difficulty in encouraging students to actively learn, and difficulties in developing mathematics learning technology. Additionally paradigm that occurs in reality is the students who liked mathematics less, as it seemed difficult. So the teacher must be creative to make math feel like delicious as chocolate. Maybe teachers can insert a little humor or laughter on the sidelines of a lesson, not to impress tense, provided a distraction is not protracted. Or any teacher can give a prize quiz, in which the teacher gives a lesson about the question, then offered a reward to students who can answer that question. In addition, if teachers can apply to every student friendly without exception then it is not possible students will be pleased to teachers. It is very important, even the success of students in understanding the lesson is that the role of teacher attitudes. If students have liked the teacher then is surely also a sense of love will flow to the lessons taught teachers, mathematics is no exception. Pleasure to the teacher, able to get rid of the difficulties that arise in the study. Pleasure will also make the students are not ashamed to ask the teacher about the perceived problems of students, so students' understanding deepened. In addition, motivated students to learn definitely will gradually emerge, and will be good for self kharakter students.

Pengembangan kurikulum membutuhkan komprehensif dan mendalam studi tentang semua aspek yang terlibat, setidaknya ada enam prinsip sebagai panduan kesempatan untuk belajar matematika untuk semua, 2) kurikulum bukanlah sekedar kumpulan materi tetapi harus mencerminkan kegiatan matematika koheren, 3) mengajar belajar matematika membutuhkan teori yang menyeluruh tentang kegiatan siswa, mereka kesiapan untuk belajar dan peran guru memfasilitasi mereka belajar, 4) kesempatan kepada pembelajar untuk mengembangkan konsep matematika mereka, 5) kebutuhan untuk mengembangkan penilaian tertanam untuk proses belajar mengajar, dan 6) menggunakan berbagai jenis sumber belajar mengajar. Untuk memastikan bahwa kurikulum mencerminkan proses belajar mengajar perlu dikembangkan: 1) Pedoman untuk mengembangkan silabus nya, 2) Pedoman kurikulum pelaksanaan, 3) dokumen pendukung seperti handout, lembar kerja siswa, 4) guru keterlibatan dalam kurikulum berkembang, 5) sosialisasi dan diseminasi mengembangkan kurikulum, dan 6) pemantauan berkala dari implementasi tersebut. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan matematika, pemerintah pusat perlu: (1) mendefinisikan kembali peran guru yaitu mereka harus memfasilitasi siswa perlu belajar, (2) mendefinisikan kembali peran kepala sekolah yaitu mereka harus mendukung pengembangan profesional guru dengan memungkinkan mereka untuk hadir dan berpartisipasi dalam ilmiah, pertemuan dan pelatihan, (3) mendefinisikan kembali peran sekolah yaitu mereka harus mempromosikan manajemen berbasis sekolah, (4) mendefinisikan kembali peran pengawas. Maka melalui kurikulum baru, guru harus mampu merespon masing-masing anak sebagai kebutuhan yang diidentifikasi karena kurikuler pengalaman yang relevan dan keterampilan anak-anak sangat bervariasi dan mereka butuhkan kemudian di posisi yang lebih baik untuk memanfaatkan dukungan layanan untuk meningkatkan praktek kelas mereka; pengelolaan berbagai dukungan layanan harus tersedia untuk memaksimalkan efek mereka dalam membantu guru untuk bekerja menuju praktek yang baik dan untuk menerapkan kurikulum yang baru.

According to Kant, mathematics as a science is possible if the mathematical concept of spatial and constructed based on the intuition of time. Construction of mathematical concepts based on the intuition of space and time will result in mathematics as a science that is "synthetic a priori". Kant has given the depth and accuracy of the mathematical foundation, and by because it's achievements can not be ignored. In the ontology and epistemology, after the era of Kant, mathematics has been developed with pendekatanpendekatan a bit much influenced by Kant's view. Dipahamai and mathematics should be constructed using pure intuition, that is intuition "space" and "time".Mathematical concepts and decisions that are "synthetic a priori" will cause the natural sciences had become dependent on mathematics in explaining and predicting natural phenomena.According to him, mathematics can be understood through "intuition sensing", as long as the results can be adapted to our pure intuition. The mathematics are "synthetic a priori" can be constructed through three stages of intuition is "intuition sensing", "intuition is reasonable", and "intuitive mind". Intuition sensing associated with mathematical objects that can be perceived as an element a posteriori. Intuition sense (Verstand) mensintetiskan results penginderan intuition into intuition "space" and "time". With the intuitive mind "Vernuft", the ratio we are faced with decisions of mathematical argumentation. According to Kant (Kant, I., 1781) mathematics is a reason have property of constructing concepts are synthetic a priori in concepts of space and time. In particular geometry can be objectively true when it comes to sensing objects. Geometry concepts are not only generated by pure intuition, but also related to the concept of space in which objects are represented geometry. Kant gives a solution that mathematical concepts first obtained a priori from the experience with intuitive sensing, but the concept is not obtained, but rather purely empirical. The process is thus a first step that must exist in mathematical reasoning, if not then there will be no math reasoning. The next process is a synthetic process in the sense of intuition "Verstand" which allows contructed mathematical concepts that are "synthetic" in space and time. If the concepts of geometry was to eliminate the concepts of empirical or sensing, the concept of the concept of space and time would still remain; namely that the concepts of geometry are a priori. Decision mathematics is the awareness that complex cognition that have the characteristics: a) relating to the objects of mathematics, either directly (through intuition) or indirectly (through concepts), b) include both mathematical concepts and the concepts entirely on predicate subjects, c) is a pure reasoning in accordance with pinsip-pinsip pure logic, d) involve the laws of mathematics are constructed by intuition, and e) state the truth value of a mathematical proposition.
