To protect metals or alloys from corrosion, some methods can be used such as isolating the structure from the aggressive media or compensating the loss of electrons from the corroded structure.

Pendidikan pada dasarnya bertujuan untuk mewujudkan hakekat manusia seutuhnya sesuai dengan kodrat kemanusiaannya. Dari sini bisa dipahami bahwa pendidikan menjadi penting baik bagi masa depan peserta didik itu sendiri, maupun bagi masa depan peradaban manusia secara keseluruhan. Sehingga wajar jika sejak awal kedatangannya, Islam memberikan perhatian yang besar terhadap pentingnya pendidikan ini. Oleh karena itu, proses pendidikan harus didesain dan dikelola dengan baik agar tujuan pendidikan tersebut bisa tercapai. Artinya agar pendidikan berjalan dengan baik harus dimulai dari perencanaan yang baik hingga pengawasan yang baik, tak terkecuali peserta didik harus dikelola dengan baik pula. Dari sinilah kemudian lahir disiplin ilmu Mamanajemen Peserta Didik. Sebagai bagian dari disiplin manajemen pendidikan, manajemen peserta didik dipahami sebagai keseluruhan proses kegiatan yang direncanakan dan diusahakan secara sengaja serta pembinaan secara kontinyu terhadap seluruh peserta didik agar dapat mengikuti proses belajar mengajar secara efektif dan efisien demi tercapainya tujuan pendidikan yang telah ditetapkan.
