Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Grades ( marks ) encourage to learn. use specific reasons
and examples to support your opinion.
I have two answers to that statement, namely :
First : I
disagree with the reasons that real learning is not just for getting good
grades alone, but how one is able to understand the subject matter provided
without bound frills 'value'. For this reason gives the freedom for students to
express themselves, freely dispense with the idea of a different perspective
in addressing issues in their lessons. They will learn on their own to
understand something to learn from their experiences, and the unencumbered
value frills 'bad' and 'good'
Second : I
can also agree with the statement on the grounds that no-frills 'value', then
we do not know the extent of one's understanding of a subject matter that he
had received. 'Value' with frills is a measure of the number given to map the
extent to which a person understands a subject in the subject matter that he
received. Schools now it has outlined the problem only to find something no
matter how much it terimplementasikan in everyday life. So indeed, the school
is now as rote without touching directly on reality.
How do we actually Education?
The issue of education as we currently assume that 'value'
is no longer a form of mapping, but being the ultimate goal of education
itself. Such orientation has prompted educators in schools to ask for learners (students)
to pursue the highest values. The problem the child is able to understand the
material provided is not an important matter worksheets students filled with
the correct answer will suffice. Educators often do not want to know how the
students get the answer. Is the outcome is purely the work of a student or not,
does not matter.
This condition then encourage students were oriented to
obtain the value only with certain numbers without knowing what the real
purpose of their learning. They then become incapable of critical thinking
because it is not given the chance. They were given time to answer a myriad of
questions in the theory of time. They then just be individuals penghafal as
memorizing verses or mantras. Ironically, educators often also provide a myriad
of home work 'PR' without first explaining the reason that students are more active in
learning. The students are then forced to use their time just to memorize,
memorize and memorize.
The implications of such condition is of course education is
not inability of students to think critically and ultimately is how to
implement what they learned with reality. Science rote that they built make the
students to be individuals who are not sensitive to any problems that arise. It
will also create more social sensitivity is lost and not caring for others.
Ideally the education we receive is education that can make
individuals become more critical. Able to summarize every experience into
capital to improve in the future. Reducing the volume of errors on the action
and enhance positive dapa further action. Education which then stimulates the
individual to the social spirit and most importantly be able to change things
without just learned about the situation. Of course, education is not only the
pursuit of educational value alone, but more encouraging education on
understanding and relating to reality.
Example :
In the Current Period. Learning just getting good grades but
the process is a big zero as a result our students the ability to learn
decreases so that they can not follow the teaching-learning process in
ajakarkan by teachers at the school and campus. and still a lot of our students
do not understand the meaning of the actual learning process so rampant in
Times Now Instant culture began to wander around the school and campus.
Learning in the Age of Now it is necessary why? because the
learning process is very important to improve the quality of students 'extent
of learners' learning abilities. not to, good value because cheating is wrong,
and eventually they could not do anything to work on the problems in the form
of multiple choice and essay.
that should be emphasized is the correct way of learning so
as not oriented with good grades are important core processes first and later
would result affairs good or bad values that are important learning process
we've discovered is already mengausai subject matter that has been teaches the
teachers or not.
