KADO #1 : Himpunan Puisi dan Catatan @aguspedia
KADO kerap diasosiasikan kepada suatu benda berharga, sebagai hadiah istimewa untuk orang yang berarti khusus pada momentum tertentu. Pada saat ulang tahun (pernikahan), misalnya, kado bisa datang silih berganti, mulai berupa gantungan kunci hingga rumah elit. Apapun bentuknya, yang pasti, nilainya tinggi di mata si penerima. Jika saya menyebut istilah 'kado literasi', fungsinya masih sama dengan kado biasa: sebagai hadiah untuk orang tertentu pada momentum tertentu. Meski demikian, bentuknya berbeda, yakni literasi. Kado literasi saya maksudkan sebagai kado bernilai tinggi berupa sumber literasi. Dalam praktiknya, literasi mengacu ke membaca dan menulis; karena itu, kado literasi itu kado yang membawa pesan, misalnya, “Ini loh buku, bacalah dan kemudian menulislah.”
Education in Indonesia
In Indonesia, as elsewhere in Asia, education will inevitably play a key role in the national development experience as the twenty-first century unfolds. Not much international attention is paid to how the education sector is faring in Indonesia, but that is not because nothing is happening. The past decade has seen major changes in the structure of the education system and in the schooling trajectories of Indonesian children and adolescents. The administration of primary and secondary education has been decentralized to the regions. A new paradigm of school-based management has been introduced. Public spending on education has finally reached one-fifth of total government spending, as required by law. But although enrolment rates at all levels continue to increase, the quality of education remains low and has not improved, and the tertiary sector continues to experience problems of autonomy and unsatisfactory performance.
Blended Synchronous Learning
Blended synchronous learning - where remote students participate in face-to-face classes by means of rich-media synchronous technologies such as video conferencing, web conferencing and virtual worlds - is an emerging phenomenon in education. More and more teachers are attempting to teach in this challenging mode, but without any systematic research evidence to help guide their blended synchronous learning practices. The Blended Synchronous Learning Handbook is a definitive resource that addresses this issue. It includes a Blended Synchronous Learning Design Framework that offers pedagogical, technological and logistical recommendations for teachers attempting to design and implement blended synchronous learning lessons. It also includes a Rich-Media Synchronous Technology Capabilities Framework to support the selection of technologies for different types of learning activities, as well as a review of relevant literature, a summary of the Blended Synchronous Learning Scoping Study, detailed reports of seven blended synchronous learning case studies, and an in-depth cross case analysis to underpin the recommendations that are drawn.
Cooperation in the Classroom
The jigsaw classroom is a cooperative learning technique with a three-decade track record of successfully reducing racial conflict and increasing positive educational outcomes. Not only does it open the door to warmer, closer friendships within and across ethnic boundaries, it has also proved effective at raising the self-esteem of students while improving their performance and increasing their liking for school and their enthusiasm about learning. The jigsaw technique was first developed in the early 1970s by psychologist Elliot Aronson and his students at the University of Texas and the University of California. Since then, hundreds of schools have used the jigsaw classroom with great success. With a new foreword by Joshua Aronson.
