Safety Insight with Fendy Novento

To some students learning environment results in a significant impact of learning process. The learning process can be fast or slow depends on the student’s behaviour and characteristics. However, the learning process nowadays become unattractive and boring, students prefer of sighseeing and shopping in the mall.

What if..

We combine this two situation into a single solution, learning at Mall. Opening a learning course at the mall could be a challenge, where so many attractive and disturbance that will move away the learning focus. However, the impact could be significant, if we could manage the environment into an attractive learning process so students would be able to learn and play. Sometimes learning and playing has a two different meaning, but if we could combine those two, we could create something authentic for educational breakthrough, especially with the advance technology that will make learning becomes vary in methods and concepts.

Let us start by identify the needs of learning for students, what subject, ages, or curriculum that best suit for them. We always hear courses about mathematics, english, physics, computer, etc but we seldome hear course about problem solving, leadership, effective reading, etc. The first part is about intellegent(IQ), while the second part is about emotional(EQ) that students will bring it for the rest of their life from early child into grown up person. The emotional course model is the new model that we need to address for educational breakthrough!

The questions now is are we ready 🙂

The world is flat and so does the educational organization. The only thing that make them difference is SERVICE!

Let say there are four services in educational organization:
– educational design
– curriculum development
– delivery and facilitation
– learning assessment

A significant enhancement in one of the services above can make a difference, however a significant enhancement in all services above can make a CHANGE!

The Educational Organization is now becoming flat where everyone can access, learn, and share resources from a limited network (intranet) or enermous network (internet). Cloud computing technology make it possible to change the way of conventional learning to modern learning.

Modern learning as described in some theory, require modern infrastructure where the learning process becoming student’s center and teachers are meant only as facilitator. However, from best practice this theory is not 100 % fully work for a school who does not have the modern culture, e.g most of students are likely to read a manual books instead of electronic books that is read from ebook reader or laptop.

Instead of debate the conflict above, we could start to build Resources Center as starter. The Resources Center act as knowledge management tools for protecting and sharing the resources that we have for internal or external parties. When a teacher prepare and create a learning materials, he/she will review it to their principals and distribute it to their students with manual copy, however when he/she left the schools, the learning materials are gone with the wind through time. A new teacher that replace his/her position, will create a new learning materials and the process start from the beginning.

what if…

We put all the learning materials on the server as electronic documents that can be store, maintain and review with the appropriate person in a dedicated system, e.g SharePoint. the problem we had above was eliminated and resoruces can be maintained, review and distributed to all parties in a daily basis.

In order to achieve the above purpose, we need a standard that is manageable and work on every level within organization. The best practice is ISO 9001:2008 that is customized within IWA 2:2007 as a standard for quality management sytem improvement within educational organization. For knowledge management and resources allocation management, we could use harePoint 2007/2010 as a tools for managing the available resources of an educational organization.

For detail review about ISO 9001:2008 ( IWA 2:2007 ) and SharePoint Implementation, please follow my post on my blog ( https://fendynovento.wordpress.com ). I am open to discuss these ideas with your organization anytime, anywhere and anymanner for system improvement.

Post kali ini adalah paparan dari seorang praktisi pendidikan mengenai sistem kompetensi guru, seperti yang pernah disampaikannya lewat media.

seorang guru dibedakan menjadi tiga, yaitu guru pratama, guru madya, dan guru utama. Seorang guru pratama wajib menguasai 75 % kompetensi teknis, guru madya 91 %, dan guru utama 100 % kompetensi teknis. Apa saja yang dicakup dalam kompetensi teknis akan saya jabarkan sebagai berikut.

Kompetensi guru dibedakan menjadi dua:
– core competency ( mandatory )
– tecnical competency ( kompetensi teknis )
