Nowdays, many school try to change their status to be International level of shool. They do the best to get that status from educational department. 
But, it is not easy problem to be international level of school. There are many requirement to be international level.

1. Accreditation.
The accreditation of the school at least A from BAN (National Accreditation Department) and get the addition accreditation from BAS (School Accreditation department) from one of the state OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) member or another advance state that has best level in educational field. Maybe for some schools it is the difficult case, even to get the accreditation A from BAN. So, that school should work hardly to get the A accreditation first.

2. The curriculum

5. Educator
Appropriate educator standard. Teachers able to facilitate learning based ICT.
Teachers in science, mathematics and focational subjects able to teach by english.
At least 10% of teachers well educated S2/S3 in high education that have A in accreditation for elementary school.
At least 20% of teachers well educated S2/S3 in high education that have A in accreditation for Junior High School.
At least 300% of teachers well educated S2/S3 in high education that have A in accreditation for Senior High School.

6. Educational Expert
Appropriate the standard of educationa expert. The head master get education at least S2 in high education that have A in accreditation and have appropriate head master training from head master training department that accupied by the government.
The head master able active english.
The head master have international vision, able to build the international network, have managing competency, have leadership spirit, and strong enterpreneurship.

7. Features and infrastructures
Appropriate features and infrastructures standard. Every classrooms complete by tthe features based IT.

Managing The Teaching Learning Process of Mathematics (Practical Approach)




Before teachers come to the class, they have to make some teaching materials, at least there are three teaching materials to prepared by teaching:
*      Developing the lesson plan
A lesson plan is a plan for learning. As is true in most activities, the quality of planning affects the quality of results. Successful executives and professional people know that the price of excellence is careful preparation. A lawyer spends hours planning a case before appearing in court. A minister does not ad-lib a sermon but plans days or weeks in advance. In anticipation of the big game, the coach spends hours planning the plays and watching the team execute them.
To ensure the greatest probability of learning, we must carefully select and arrange activities that will produce the desired learning outcomes in our students.  Only through careful planning can we be certain that we include all necessary information and have our lesson plan properly organized to achieve the lesson objective. The complete cycle of lesson planning includes eight steps:
(1) Determine the objective
(2) Research the topic as defined by the objective
(3) Select the appropriate instructional method
(4) Identify a usable lesson planning format
(5) Decide how to organize the lesson
(6) Choose appropriate support material
(7) Prepare the beginning and ending of the lesson
(8) Prepare a final outline.
*      Developing students worksheets
Worksheets that can be completed by a student independently force the student to interact with the concepts. When students work independently or in small groups, this also frees the instructor to concentrate on working with individual students on problem areas. Observing students doing worksheet activities independently helps a teacher pinpoint which concepts are difficult for any one student. Worksheets are also handy for bringing students struggling with a concept closer to the mean understanding of the classroom, or for giving above-average students extra concepts to absorb.
benefits gained by the use of worksheets in the learning process is as follows.
1.      Enabling learners in the learning process.
2.      Assist learners in developing the concept.
3.      Train learners in the process of finding and developing skills.
4.      For guidance of teachers and learners in carrying out the learning process.
5.      Help learners acquire a record of material learned through the learning activities.
6.      Helping learners to add information about the concepts learned through the    learning activities systematically. (Suyitno, 1997:40).
*      Developing learning resources
Researching The Topic.  After we have written or been provided with an instructional objective, we are ready to decide on the main points of the lesson and gather materials about the lesson topic.  Normally we do not collect a mass of research materials and then develop an objective to match the findings.  Not only is this latter approach inefficient, but it is also likely to be ineffective.  It may well ignore the specific needs of the students and the Air Force.  The objective should determine the research that needs to be done.  On the other hand, research may justify a decision to modify an objective or rearrange main points for greater accuracy or clarity.
Usefulness and appropriateness are two important criteria for selecting relevant material.  To be appropriate, information should relate to the lesson objective and have a high possibility for student retention.  To be useful, it should aid both the instructor and the students in the teaching-learning process.  If the instructor selects material solely on the basis of its interest value, a lesson may be filled with interesting information of little learning value to the student.  On the other hand, dry, uninteresting facts even though they are very important-may also defeat the instructor's purpose.  Students are more likely to grasp and retain facts and concepts that are enriched with interesting support material and arranged in a way that enhances learning.
With the objective clearly in mind, we are now ready to gather actual material or do research on the subject.  The sources for this material are our own experiences, the experience of others which we gain through conversation and interviews, and written or observed material.  Instructors concerned with teaching a good lesson will often draw from all of these sources.
Self.  The first step in researching a lesson topic is to see what we ourselves know about the subject. Our personal knowledge may suggest a tentative organization, but more important, it will point up gaps in our knowledge where we need further research.
Others.  The second step in the research process is to draw on the experience of others. People who are interested in the topic may provide ideas during the course of conversation. The most fruitful source is the expert who may help us clarify our thinking, provide facts and testimony, and suggest sources for further research.
While personal experience, conversation, and interviews provide valuable content for lessons, we must usually do further research elsewhere.  If we have properly narrowed our subject and kept the purpose in mind, our research task will be easier.
Library.  Modern libraries provide us with an abundance of sources: books, newspapers, popular magazines, scholarly journals, abstracts, subject files, and microfilms. Quantity is no problem; quality is more difficult. We must always concern ourselves with the accuracy and relevance of the material we select.  Using an article from 1950 to discuss atomic physics today might well lead to inaccurate, irrelevant conclusions.
Meanwhile, after teachers come to the class, so it will be appear the next ideas,:
*      Developing and implementing apperception
Apperception comes from the word "Apperception" means integrating and assimilating an observation that has been owned by the experience. Or awareness of a person to associate with old impressions that have been coupled with the processing that has become a widespread impression. The impression of the old material is called apperception.
Apperception is a sign of vibrations received by an individual over a particular object. Objects can be an object, natural or social phenomena, and the actions performed by a person. Apperception or vibrations are received through the five senses that we have. Apperception admissions process is what we call perception.
Apperception means the appreciation of all things is the basis to accept new ideas. In general, the function of apperception in learning activities is to bring their world into our world. That is, to relate what is already known or in naturally with what will be learned.
Apperception in teaching is the dial-in to old school with new learning, as a springboard extent to which students mengusai old lesson so easily absorb the new lessons. While we will teach a concept of what the students, teachers should understand that every student has the experience, attitudes and habits are different, in order to explore and connect the experiences, attitudes and habits of students to the concepts that we teach will needs be, we associate with apperception.
Apperception can be formed by four pillars. The first is the alpha zone. Once face to face with students, begin to initial conditions pleasant. Readiness to enter the facts and information. Under these circumstances, the movement of dendrite brain is harmonious.
Second pillar is warmer. Warm memories of that is past. If the meeting was not the first, warmer dimaksukan as forming the knowledge of constructivism, which is building a new meaning based on the knowledge students already owned. Examples of teachers to recall with an open question. "How do you think of bamboo trees and coconut trees, both of which are plants that mostly found in Indonesia. What are its usefulness? "
The third pillar is the pre teach. It is often forgotten by the Master. No wonder the disheveled condition of the class and students are not conditioned. Pre teach is to give the information manually, how the rules apply. Especially in science subjects or experiments using tools, pre teach absolutely necessary, so that no injury or procedural errors.
The fourth pillar is the scene setting. This condition is closest to the strategy. Often referred to as a hook or hooks into the core subjects. Example: ask students to compare the object choice of his bag, and lined up according to weight of the object, is scene setting towards mathematics 'light weight'.
*      Developing and implementing various method teaching
The method is an activity that teachers do to create a system environment that enables the learning process for students. In teaching, teachers not only explain and convey a number of subject matter to students, but teachers should provide the stimulation and encourage to the students learning process occur.
One of the teaching methods is contructivism learning. Traditionally, engineering programs have given individual homework assignments and individual exams.  Professional engineering practice, however, is rarely an individual effort. Most professional engineers work on interdisciplinary teams that require effective interpersonal communication skills. The resulting engineering product is a team effort in which the individual engineers involve others in the solution of their individual project components.  The traditional approach to engineering education largely neglects educating students in working on such teams, except perhaps in senio capstone design courses. To aid students in developing interpersonal communication skills, many engineering programs are implementing a variety of methods that give students valuable experience in working with others in a technical setting.
*      Developing and implementing various teaching aids
In the case of teaching aids for professional education, information is also in the foreground. With the aid of the medium, the students is to be given a new information and thus be better to understand the subject matter of teaching. Teaching aids is a tool used by teachers, facilitators, or tutors to help their learners improve their skill and knowledge.
The aim of teaching aids is to motivate the students in such a way that the students  applies their full attention to teaching.
*      Developing and implementing various interactions
Social interaction will be able to facilitate the development of students. To develop the students interactions, there are some ways:
·         To develop the students interaction in whole class, teachers should give some problems to the students in class, then the teachers give a chance to students to answer the problems
·         Other way is teacher dividing the class into small group, and then the students discuus the problem in groups. Teachers monitoring the students and give some clue about the answer
·         And the last is to interact the students individual, teachers observe each atudents and give attention to the students with low ability
*      Developing and implementing small group discussion
A discussion could be used for any objective which involves justifying an opinion from defining what is a living organism to whether we should label genetically modified organisms. Note that for the first, students are likely to have sufficient background knowledge to discuss the answer. For the second, it was had better ensure the students have learned the different kinds of genetically modified organisms, otherwise teacher will have the worst of “pooling of ignorance”.
Even if students have little formal background in a topic, a discussion can be a good start for a unit. This is because the teacher will learn whether students have opinions, and what those opinions are. If the teacher is teaching consistent with constructivist learning theory, you need to know what students are thinking before teacher begin the unit, so that they know where they need to target your teaching.
Further, a discussion from a point of ignorance can get students interested in the topic. They will have expressed their opinion on the topic, and will more actively search for information to support their opinion. Thus, a discussion can be a good motivator at the beginning of a unit.
Another reason for having students get involved in a discussion is that students remember information that came out in a discussion. They are much more likely to remember than if they watched a video of “informed” people having a discussion, and much more likely to remember than if they had just read the information.
Why would you not have students discuss:
People (not just students ­ we find this with scientists as well) who state their opinions in a public space are less likely to change their opinions later. If you want your students to come up with a particular idea, a particular opinion, then you are better not to start with a discussion. After all, according to constructivist learning theory, learning means changing. And, also according to constructivist learning theory, changing is hard emotionally and psychologically.
How to teach using discussions:
*      Select a question which is focused enough that students can make a start to answer it. The question should be an upper level kind of question (Bloom’s taxonomy), and should be divergent ­ have more than one answer possible.
*      Create an atmosphere (by modeling, by teaching, by enforcing) which is friendly, where different opinions are expected, but respectfully presented. This takes time.
*      Students are more likely to engage in discussion when they have some background in the topic.
*      Have regular discussions so students learn how to get involved.
*      Be clear about the rules for involvement. How does a new person get to speak? teacher may suggest that a new speaker should start to interrupt, then back off; the person who is speaking should then wind up what s/he is saying, so the interrupted can talk. At faculty meetings, we raise our hands, and the chair of the meeting takes us in turn. Some discussions involve passing the feather, and the person holding the feather may talk. Some discussions involve the next speaker standing up, and staying up until s/he has finished speaking.
*      Ensure that students have sufficient background knowledge on the topic to get involved.
*      Be the moderator of the first few discussions as students learn proper protocol. Then teach students how to moderate a discussion, and have different students take turns being moderators.
*      Invite students to get involved. Students who are invited to speak might not speak when they are first invited, but they are much more likely to get involved later.
*      Developing and implementing students presentation
After students doing their group discussion, they have to present their result from their discussion in front of the class. It is important for students to give their responsibility for their work in group discussion. Students presentation do by each one of the group or all of students in each group. If the teachers choose the second one, so the students have to manage their group and divide the problem matter with their group, so all of the students get their part.
*      Developing and implementing the cognitif schemes
It is an approach of learning, where the students interact with their environment by exploring and manipulating objects, wrestling with a number of questions and controversy, or conduct experiments. The basic idea of this theory is that students will easily recall a concept if the concept they get by themselves through a process of discovery learning
The concept of cognitive development of children representing three forms of representation: enactive, econic and symbolic.
*      Developing and implementing students conclussion
This approach allowed some creative thinking brainstorming for new ideas. Students are encourage to take part in full because all ideas equally recorded. This method describe th eknowledge an experience in group. Usually one idea proposed by an individual could spark other ideas. The conclusion of most lessons should accomplish three things: summarize, remotivate, and provide closure.
*      Developing and implementing students assesments
The students assesments is very important to do by students. After they get the materials, and they do some discuss, so they have to make the assesments. So they know about what they have learn in the class, and they know about the concepts of some materials, and the important thing is they know what they should do in the next meeting in teaching learning process.

(Guru Matematika pada SMK Muhammadiyah IV Yogyakarta)
Summary by Aris Kartikasari (09313244005)

learning process is the process of communication between teachers and students with certain conditions would be more effective with real experience with the use of five senses. While the calculator can be viewed as a tool in learning.
The calculator according to the E-dictionary (Wasito; 1996:83-94) is a special tool to carry out the preparation of arithmetic with some datas and instructions are included in calculator. Most of these tools require the intervention arms, which can be used to implement calculation logic and digits. Benefits that can be explored from the use of calculators in Mathematics Learning Strategies book Contemporary (2001: 241-244) are: a) help in understanding mathematical concepts, b) help strengthen the skills computation, c) develop high-level thinking skills, d) improve problem solving skills, and e) make the solution problem more realistic. Merriweather and Thrap (1999) stated that the use of graphing calculators in class can cause a student to be affected and involved in mathematics, and can solve math problems which these issues are not resolved at that time. Hambre and Desert in their research entitled Effect of held-held Calculators in pre- college mathematics education (1986) concluded that: a) calculator should be used in any learning of mathematics, b) the computer is helpful in improving problem-solving skills, especially for students with low and high ability.
Mr. Marsigit take a research about using calculators in SMK Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, and get the result:
1.     Calculators as a tool
Stages use calculators as a learning tool IV mathematics at SMK Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, can be done as follows:
The first stage is the stage of understanding of the significance calculator graph. The essence of the understanding process is explained in basic and detail about the graphing calculator.
The second stage is the stage of understanding the theory and use of calculators graphs in equations and inequalities to solve problems. process
The second is focused on how students understand the command, symbolic manipulation, and graphs to solve problems and equations inequalities with graphing calculator.
The third stage, namely stage of entering data about the calcuator graph. The process of entering data into the calculator about the process move the language into the language of mathematics in terms of graphing calculators.
The fourth stage is the stage interpretation of the graphing calculator screen and draw conclusions.
Of the five above process, can mean that students will experienced the process in a row. This means that the process is an inductive process.
2.    Using graphing calculator
From research conducted, noting there are some aspects use the graphing calculator in learning mathematics as follows:
·         Graphing calculator is useful to determine and match graphic images
·         Graphing calculator is useful to determine and match the answer set
·         Graphing calculator to give you real experience of graphic images.
·   Settlement about equations and inequalities can be use the command, symbolic manipulation and graphics.
·   Graphing calculator is useful to provide answers previously calculated without a calculator and accelerate the completion of mathematics matter.
·         The constraints experienced by students in using the calculator
·   graph is a mathematical paraphrase sentences into the languages calculator and disclose any appearance of the calculator screen to in mathematical sentences
·         With the graphing calculator in the learning process math lessons and math becomes more attractive math problem solving easier.
·   If using of graphing calculators with no offset capabilities for understand the operating procedures and mathematical thinking, it can be cause high levels of dependence, loss their confidence, and lazy thinking.
