WORLD BEST QUALITY EDUCATION

The rise of the announcement of the results of the national final examination (UAN), protests, pro-cons of its implementation, and the large number of participants who fail should inspire us to push to improve education quality. Particularly in a global era, when the exchange of labor and foreign experts, the state ought to be a threat to human resources in Indonesia.


Do you know which country the quality of education was ranked first in the world? If you do not know, why not because many do not know that the first rank for the quality of education is Finland. Countries with capital of Helsinki (where the signing of a peace agreement between the GoI and GAM), this is so incredible. 1 world ranking is obtained by Finland based on a comprehensive international survey in 2003 by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The tests, known as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) to measure students' abilities in the fields of Science, Reading, and Mathematics.
Remarkably, Finland not only excel academically but also shows superior in children's education is weak mentally. In summary, Finland managed to make all the smart students. Then what is the key to Top Finland became the world's No. 1? In Finland education budget problems are a little higher than the state average in Europe but still inferior to other countries. Finland does not boost their students by increasing the hours of learning, giving extra homework load, soldier discipline, or memborbardir students with a variety of tests. In contrast, students in Finland start school at a rather slow compared with other countries, namely at the age of seven years, and their school hours just a little more, ie, only 30 hours per week. Compare with Korea, ranked second after Finland, the students spend 50 hours per week.
What is your key? It turned out that the key lies in the quality of teachers. In Finland there are only teachers with the best quality with the best training as well. Teaching profession itself is a very respected profession, even though their wages are not fantastic. The best high school graduates usually just sign up for admission in schools of education, and only one of seven applicants is accepted. Competition is tighter than go to law school or medical school! Comparing with Indonesia, which supplied teachers of students with a quality pickup. Some students in Indonesia as a teachers college chose the last alternative. They are educated by the universities with modest quality, too.
With good quality students and education and training of highly qualified lecturers who are also not wrong if they then can become the teachers with high quality also. With these competencies they are free to use any class methods that they love, with which they design their own curriculum and textbooks of their own choosing.
If other countries believe that the testing and evaluation for students is a very important part of quality education, Finland actually believe that the examinations and testing that is what destroyed the students' learning objectives. Too much testing makes us tend to teach the students to merely pass the test, said a teacher in Finland. Though many aspects of education that can not be measured by exams. At the age of 18 yr students take exams to determine their qualifications in colleges and two-thirds of graduates go on to college.
Students are taught to evaluate themselves, even since the pre-kindergarten! This helps students learn to be responsible for their own jobs, says Sundström, principal at elementary Poikkilaakso, Finland. And if they are responsible they will more bebas.Guru bekeja not necessarily control them. Students are encouraged to work independently with their own trying to find the information they need. Students learn more if they find themselves the information they need. We do not learn anything if we just wrote down what was said by the teacher. Here, teachers do not teach with lecture method. School atmosphere is very relaxed and flexible. The existence of too many command will only generate a sense of distress, and resulted in a learning atmosphere becomes unpleasant.
Group of students who later received intensive support. This is also what makes Finland a success. Based on the PISA findings, the schools in Finland is very little difference between students who do well and what is bad and is the best according to the OECD. Remedial not regarded as a sign of failure but as an opportunity to improve. A teacher who is in charge of learning and behavioral problems of students create an individual program for each student with emphasis on the objectives to be achieved, for example: First, go to class, then come in time; next, bring books, etc.. If a PR students do not even need to answer correctly, the important thing they try.
The teachers really avoid criticism of their student work. According to them, if we say "You're wrong" with the students, then it will make students shy. And if they were ashamed of it would hinder them in learning. Each student is allowed to make mistakes. They only asked to compare their results with the previous value, and not with other students. So there's no ranking system-rankingan. Each student is expected to be proud of her own. Rank-rankingan only makes teachers focus on a handful of qualified students who are considered the best in its class.
Greatness in the Finnish educational system is a combination of high teacher competence, patience, tolerance and commitment to success through personal responsibility. If I failed in teaching a student, said a teacher, then that means there's something wrong with my teaching! Greeting actually a very responsible teacher.
