EDUCATION IN INDONESIA

Education in Greek comes from the word padegogik the science guiding children. The Romans saw education as educare, which is issued and guide, actions taken to realize the potential of children who are born of time in the world. German nation saw education as the equivalent Erziehung educare, ie: aroused or activate the hidden power of the power or potential child. In the Java language, education means panggulawentah (processing - Red), process, change the psyche, finalizing the feelings, thoughts, will and character, changing the personality of the child.

The Great Dictionary of Indonesian Language (KBBI) derived from the word education students (educational), namely: to maintain and provide training (courses, leadership) about the morality and intelligence of the mind. While education had understanding: process of changing attitudes and ethical behavior in individuals or groups of human mature businesses through the efforts of the teaching and practice, the process works, how to educate. Ki Hajar Dewantara defines education as an effort to advance the character, mind and body of children, in order to promote the perfection of life is life and turn the child that is in harmony with nature and society.

Of notions and analysis of existing then it could be concluded that education is an effort led anak from birth to reach adulthood physically and spiritually, in the interaction of nature and its surroundings.

In education there are two important things are aspects of cognitive (thinking) and affective (feeling). As an illustration, when we learn something in it then not only the thought processes that take part, but also there are elements associated with feelings such as passion, love and others. The substance according to Ki Hajar Dewantara education is to liberate human beings and according Drikarya is to humanize humans. This indicates that the experts also thinks that education is not just pay attention to the cognitive aspects alone but should be broader in scope.

What about education in Indonesia?
Do pay attention to the problems of education in Indonesia detail like this? This is one of the biggest mistakes that educational method developed in our Education Indonesia. is not respecting the affective (feeling), so we only printed as the generations that smart but do not have the characters needed by this nation. Indonesia has 45 years of independence, and every year out of thousands to millions of intellectuals. But no power to change the fate of this nation. So there must be something wrong with our educational system developed to date.

The second mistake, an education system that top-down or from the top down. Freire called the banking-system. In terms of learners are considered as safe-deposit box where the teacher transfer of teaching materials to students. And any time if it is needed it will be retrieved and used. So just to accommodate the students what the teacher without trying to think more about what it gets, or at least place the critical selection process of teaching materials that he received. In terms of education, such as Arabic is said to be taqlid. It means to accept or follow what is said by the educators. And this is inconsistent with the substance of education that frees the human (Ki Hajar Dewantara).

The third error, this occurs when narrowing the meaning of education itself when the terms started to poison the industry term educational terms. In mark the turn humans into Human Resources (HR).
