Economic crisis in Indonesia
several years ago have many impacts on various aspects of our life in Indonesia, such as in political, economic, legal and education as well. In order to prevent the
return of economic crisis in Indonesia, it is necessary reforms in all fields,
one of which is the reform in education. Because education can provide a
foundation for the development of the noble values of the reforms in various
other fields, such as legal reform, political, economic, cultural and others.
Reform movement in Indonesia is the anticlimax of a
state where moral values in the political, legal, social, economic decline
very sharply in a period of more than three decades. The powerlessness of the
community in many aspects is a direct implication of the deflection direction
of development that makes people just as an object rather than as subjects.
education system from macrofinance shows characteristics of a rigid centralism,
with a very strong dominance of bureaucracy, so that at every level of
educational stagnation. Creativity or improvisation towards innovation is very
difficult because of national education systems tend to follow the guidelines
from above. Our current educational system also is still closed so fosters
corrupt practices and collusion.s
Meanwhile, if we viewed in microfinance, the practice
of education in Indonesia is still relying on the teacher's role as a spearhead
of the government in implementing education rules. But the importance the role
of teachers has not been matched by the government's awareness to empower them.
In their position that's needed but did not get attention from the government,
many of our teachers have stagnated is not able to develop the creativity of
teaching because there is no room for it. Research has been conducted in
schools show that teachers prefer to apply the methods of learning as directed
the Principal, School Overseer or Supervisor rather than experiment or try
other ways, because it is more demikain provide security and peace for them
(Marsigit, 1996).
Education is a conscious effort to develop the
knowledge, skills and personality of the subject students. In the short term,
education means teaching and learning in the classroom; in the medium term
education means students complete the subject development, and in the long run
education is a cultural phenomenon involving moral values, aesthetic and
cultural. Reform of education towards the new Indonesia should be able to see
the whole context of the above so as to provide fresh air and a new horizon for
the entire educational component. In order for the reform movement in Indonesia
may see the need in the future and stop the policy of mismanagement and abuse
of power in an arbitrary manner we need to hold a thorough overhaul of a system
in all aspects of life including education. National Education Reform should be
able to reflect on past circumstances, present, and future.
Tilaar (1999: 22) states that the education reform agenda
should include: (1) reducing of corruption, collusion, nepotism and cronyism
(2) Implement the principle of professionalism (3) Desentralisasion education
management and curriculum content (4) Improved quality of basic education and finishingcompulsory
9-year study, Improving the quality of general secondary and vocational schools
(6) Improving the quality and autonomy of higher education (7) Development of
alternative education (8) Improving the quality of the teaching profession (9)
Financing of a democratic education (10) Rules and regulations (11 ) Empowering
learners subjects. "Clean educational system" needs to be developed
from the central to local level.
Educational reform at the micro-level means of
education reform at the level of instructional practices conducted in school
classes by teachers. Educational reform at the micro level can be measured how
far the teacher is able to shift to reflect the style of teaching from
'traditional' to more 'progressive'. Meanwhile, an overview of the practice of
teaching elementary and secondary school teachers in Indonesia is a prominent
role in determining all the activities of the students (teacher-directed) they
use most of the time to give (Convey) information to students (Jomtien, 1994).
Research has been done that more teachers serve as the command / instruction,
questions, explanations and tasks; students are less motivated to learn from
each other with each other. Teachers have difficulty in handling abilities of
different students; have difficulty in applying an active student learning;
have difficulty in exploiting resources in particular teach-visual media or
device (Marsigit, 1996).
Mathematics is the base of knowledge that exist today.
Mathematics cover all aspects of life, because mathematics itself evolved
through various problems in real life. There are several approaches to explain
mathematics, namely: ontologically, seek understanding according to the deepest
roots and basic math facts. Secondly, through the epistemological approach,
defines the mathematics through the word more understandable. The third, through axiological approach, studying the nature and values contained from
mathematics. The value of mathematics can be seen from the context of the
ontological, epistemological and axiological within the limits of intrinsic
value, extrinsik and systemic. For a self-learner of mathematics so that the
lowest value of mathematics is that if only his own use, a higher value if the
math can be used for public interest. But the highest math scores is if
systemically can be used for wider interest. But the values of mathematics
are developed should be coupled with critical thinking because the math is none
other than critical thinking itself.
There are various criteria regarding international
standards. In the field of education the standard of both national and
international standards can be developed through the realm of curriculum and
syllabus, educational ability, readiness support facilities, supporting books,
etc. But to get to the international standards not only about it all, but
more than that. At least we can examine the international stantad terms of
legality and of the substantial side.
