Karena Cinta

Darimana saya harus memulai, saya ingin menulis saja. Ini tentang kisah cinta. Cinta yang dialami setiap orang. Mungkin ini akan membuat pembaca merasa bosan, karena hanya berkaitan tentang kisah cinta yang saya alami.

Adalah hal yang wajar ketika orang mengalami yang namanya cinta, begitu juga dengan saya. Saya juga mengalami yang namanya cinta. Yang saya rasakan adalah rasa deg-degan dan rasa salah tingkah dengan orang itu. Saya tidak aan bercerita secara physically ya, tapi sya akan lebih bicara ke sifat. Bagi saya dia itu sempurna, hahahhahaha. Mungkin memang benar cinta saya sudah pasti bertepuk sebelah tngan, tapi saya bahagia kok, karena saya pernah merasakaan cinta dengan orang itu

Sekarang say bicara sifat ya, dia itu gak ok2 bgt sich, tapi bagi saya dia smart, dewasa, dan sepertinya bisa mengayomi. That’s why saya suka, hahahahhahaa. Setiap kali dia senyum, saya langsung tertarik dan melted tentunya. Hahahahaha, lebay ya saya. Ngomong2 ini cinta pertama saya lho.

Satu hal lagi, dia tahu kalau saya suka ke dia, itu lebih baik, karena saya tidak mau berpura2 lagi. Yah, karena dia tahu, mungkin karena itulah alasan yang tepat dia lakuka, yaitu menjauhi perlahan dari saya. Smpai-sampai nomor HP saya tidak akan pernah dia simpen, dia lebih cuek ke saya. Saya sich ok2 saja, tapi hati saya yang tidak bisa ok. Hati saya sering menangis sendiri karena ketidakadilan ini. Parhanya lagi teman-teman saya banyak yang menjauhi saya Karena CINTA yang tidak saya dapatkan. Mungkin bagi mereka cinta saya salah, tapi sampai sebegitukah sikap mereka ke saya. Dimulai dari orang yang saya cintai, teman-teman saya, dan saya takut jika sampai ke keluarga saya.

Untung saya masih punya teman yang support saya untuk jadi lebih baik, saya juga punya keluarga yang selalu dukung saya, meskipun mereka tidak tahu masalah ini. Satu hal yang bisa saya refleksikan tentang diri saya. Saya ini rapuh meskipun terlihat tegar. Teman-teman, yang meninggalkan saya, kuharap kalian bisa mengerti suatu saat nanti tentang apa yang saya rasakan dan kalian bisa berteman lagi denganku. Untuk orang yang kusayang, aku mohon tetap izinkan aku mencintai dan menyanyangimu meskipun aku tidak ingin memilikimu. Tapi bukan berarti kamu juga menjauhiku.

Learning is Fun……… :) :) :)

Learning is one of process, it’s mean that process from we don’t know something until we get new something. New something is the same meaning with new knowledge or improves our ability. It is in accordance with Skinner’s opinion, that said Learning is a process progressive behavior adaptation. It’s mean that learning will lead to a better situation than before.  So, from this case, we know that, we must happy in learning, because we get new knowledge that can improve our ability better. But in fact, we feel bored or lazy in learning, why it must happen? Hmmmmm, anyone know about it?

Learning is Fun

If we don’t happy in learning, maybe there is one problem in our self. So, first reflect our self, hehehehehehehe. Yeah, but, it’s right. We must know about our self-first especially about our character in learning. Maybe, we are auditory, visual or kinesthetic. It’s very important for to know because it can make us more interesting in learning. Just to explain briefly. Auditory is one of learning style where someone feel enjoy when teacher explain something or in the discussion. Visual is one of learning style where someone feel enjoy when study with full picture/color, reading or make a note. Kinesthetic is one of learning style where someone feel enjoy when study relate to practice or relate to object directly.

After we know about our characteristic, we must make a plan for our learning. In this case, we can make some plans to arrange a schedule for our learning. Maybe, we start our learning at 6.00pm until 9.00pm. Besides that, make our environmental be fresher or more interest, because it can make our learning more enjoy. It’s up to us.  But, for the note, when we feel tired or maybe feel headache, we can stop our learning to take a rest. Don’t push our self.

In the last, we must understand why we study about it. We must to know the goal of that, or know about the advantages if we study about it. It can give us enthusiasm in the learning process. But we must keep it, don’t make it become more seriously, because it can make us bored and don’t get spirit in the learning. So, please keep it, because fun learning is learn with the depth of soul. It’s mean that we can control our self (physic, emotional, spirit, etc)

Okay, I think enough for this post, see you in the next post.

Globalization

Globalization is a process where many of people can interact with other easier. Globalization comes from “global” word. In the dictionary of Bahasa Indonesia, it mean that totality or overall. But based on Selo Soemardjan, Globalization is establishment system of organization and communicates among people in the world to follow the same system and rules.

globalization

Globalization can cover in some aspects, like culture, bossiness, and technology. So that, globalization can makes the big change in our life. For example in the business, in the last time, we only do transaction or to buy something directly, but now we can do it indirectly through internet or call by phone. So, now, sale and purchase transaction in the business world is more simple and easier. Besides that, we can save our time, although maybe we need much money to calling or surfing the company. Huff……

For the illustration, we can see that globalization can make our life more practice and easier. But, actually globalization has negative impact for our life. For example, it can make us more consumptive because with the globalization maybe there are so many new something that we want. Besides that, globalization also makes us more individual, because we can do transaction indirectly by phone or internet. In this case, it can make us feel don’t need with other people. It’s wrong opinion. Globalization also makes social inequality. Why? Because, maybe only some people can follow globalization but not for other. So, it can make gulf for our life.

But, not all globalization has negative side, it also has positive side. Besides make our life is more practice, globalization also can be education media. For example, we can get all of information about our culture from internet or about lesson from internet, so we can study easier too. Another example, if we want to know about how to make a batik or want to know about a beautiful place in Indonesia,  maybe we can see it in the youtube or google, so we can add our knowledge.

In the conclusion, globalization is not only has negative side, but also has positive side. It depends for us, are we can use “globalization” world well in our life or not. If we can do it, I think we can use the positive side of globalization, but if we can’t do it, I just want to say “congratulation”.

Okay, enough for this post, see you in the next post

Introducing Indonesian Culture in International

Traditional Dance

As an archipelago country Indonesia has many beautiful cultures, from sabang to Merauke. These cultures make Indonesia different with other country. It’s mean that Indonesia has unique culture which contrasted with other countries. These cultures consist of so many traditional dance, traditional food, traditional house, traditional wear, etc. But, in fact, not all Indonesian culture can known by international. Only little culture can known by International, like Batik, Wayang kulit, keris, reog ponorogo, tari pendet, and rasa sayange song. So, where is other our culture? Is it not important to introduce other our culture to International? Absolutely, it’s very important to introduce our culture to International. Why? Because all of our culture has unique history that it can enrich Indonesian culture. Besides that, our culture is ancestors heritage to be preserved, if can’t do it maybe we must lose our character. Actually we don’t want lose it.

So, from now, we must to understand that our culture must be preserved and must be introduced to International, with the purpose that International community recognized that the culture is owned by Indonesia. Besides that, the another purpose is showing to International community that Indonesia not only has Batik or Balinese culture, but Indonesia also has other beautiful culture like traditional married in Java, Piring dance, Dani’s ethnic group  culture, and so many culture that maybe less explored by us.

How we can introduce our culture to International? In my opinion, we can do it from our self first, we must understand deeply about our culture, from the history and the factors that shape the culture. After that, we can make an annual event in the school or in our village about culture education in our place and also show about our culture like dance, song, or food. For example, we life in Madura, so in the first year, we make an event related to our culture in Madura, in event there are some food and dance also related to this culture. And then in the second year, we make same event but more creative, not only food and dance but maybe also introduce the motif of Batik in Madura. Maybe it can attract tourist to come Indonesia not only in one place but also in another place, because in another place also has unique culture ob tradition. It’s just my opinion.

Gunungan

To introduce Indonesian culture, maybe we can join a program like HI Seoul festival or another because we can also introduce our culture in their program. Besides that, we can also become an ambassador for Indonesia to Introduce and promote our culture to Indonesia, for example becomes a Puteri Indonesia. With it, we can join to International competition that in the competition ambassadors also promotes our culture. It’s just also my opinion.

Basically, there are many ways to introduce our culture in International, but most importantly is we must proud with our culture first and we must also understanding about our culture. So, the culture also can be preserved. If we don’t know about our culture, I think there is no way to preserved and introduce our culture.

Okay I think enough for this post, see you in the next post, I’m so sorry if my English is not well. This all just only my opinion with refer to several resources.

Guided Discovery

http://www.fitcorpasia.com/uploaded_images/DSC02962-783726.JPG

Guided Discovery is one of teaching method to give new material for students with related to conducive environment. Guided Discovery focus to lead students to get new knowledge and derive it by themselves. In this method, teacher become as an instructor and a facilitator. As an Instructor, teacher only give a guide or direction to students, so that student can get the new knowledge. A facilitator teacher only give facilitate to students, so that they can get derive the new knowledge, for example in Mathematics Lesson, for Topic to find the volume of three dimensions. In this case teacher not explaining and describing about the topic, but teacher give change to student to get the formula by themselves. So that, in this case, students can study out of the class, not only in the class.

Teacher use Guided discovery when Students feel bored about the topic, so with the new method it can make student feel happy about a new topic. But for note, in this method, don’t give students about a hard task, we can give an instruction for students with fun task but it’s challenging, don’t make them frustrated with them. So, it can make students understand about the topic not memorizing about the topic, because the students can see and proof by themselves.

Besides that, teacher use guided discovery because the topic more need understanding than knowing the facts, learning is mediated by the social environment in which learners interact with others, and effective learning requires that students take control of their own learning.

The Advantages about using guided discovery in teaching are student can derive a new knowledge by themselves or we called learning by doing. It can make students more understand about the topic, they can associate with environment directly. So it can improve the students’ sociality with environment. But the disadvantage is about the time, we need more time to use guided discovery. Besides that, this method can’t apply in all topic that the topic is very difficult.

Okay, I think enough for this post, see you in the next post.

Stereotype

 

Stereotype Gender

 

Have you heard about people that say “women always crying if they have a big problem” or maybe “you must become a boss because you are a boy”?

This statement often happens in around us.  Many people judge other people only based majority, many people don’t think about another probability. Its stereotype, giving label to someone based majority. Stereotype can be a prejudice, but the prejudice that leads to the negative direction. For example, many girls become housewife. So, you must become a good housewife because you are girl. In my opinion it make girl can’t reach their dream for example become a business woman, because this would be considered strange by another people.

From this illustration, can you define stereotype generally? Yeah, stereotype is only our opinion about something that we can’t conclude it is valid or not, because this opinion only based our view or our culture based the majority, so it can make an imbalance. So, we can say that stereotype is generalized from the group or majority to each people in that group. Maybe, the generalization can be true for the group or majority, but it is not true for each person.

Now, we know that from stereotype can be a negative prejudice. So, what do you think about it? Yeah, right, negative prejudice can make conflict and discrimination. Absolutely it can disturb our harmony where we life. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen in our live.

We must always remember that every individual in this world is not same. Every individual has a special characteristic. So, we must appreciate for this. We can’t conclude something because they are girl or boy. No, we can’t. It is possible if woman can be logical thinking and man can be sense thinking. It’s also possible that Javanese People cruder than Madura People. It’s all possible because we are live and God gives us a special character. So, please appreciate them as a people.

Okay I think enough, see you in the next post.

Become a Mathematics Teacher, Why Not? :)

Many students feel afraid with mathematics. Why? Because they think, mathematics is only study about formula, symbol that they don’t know what it is, and calculate so many numbers actually. Besides that, many teachers teach mathematics not well, and sometimes make students feel bored and so sleepy in mathematics. So, many mathematics teacher hated by students. Huff……..

Maybe, it is a one of problem that causes many students feel scared, hate, and then failed in the mathematics. So, when we know this problem, what will we do as a candidate of mathematics teacher for our beloved country, Indonesia? Are we just staying quiet? Or only see the problem without doing anything? I think you know the answer guys. Absolutely the answer is “NO”. We don’t just staying quiet or only see the problem.  We can make a change although it’s not easy or maybe full of challenging. But we can’t give up, you know why, guys? Because we are a teacher in the future to make Indonesia make better than now. J

There are many way to make mathematics more fun, interesting and be loved by students. Hehehehehehe. Firstly, as a teacher, we can make the environment in the class is more comfortable. It’s also important because if students don’t feel comfort, they can’t receive mathematics well or make them sleepy in the class. It’s not good, right?

Secondly, “teacher must be a good teacher”. Back to the problem, one of the reasons, why mathematics is very scary is about the mathematics’ teacher. Many of mathematics’ teachers are fierce, less smile, and often angry in the class when we don’t know about their lesson. Don’t be them. We must be different. “Be a good teacher” is our motto. We must understand that many students in our class have different of ability, background, and level for understanding. So, we must give a chance for our students to give a respond, refutation, or comment for us. We also become a good listener and good manner in the class when our students express what they think. Don’t angry when they do some mistake in our lesson, because from the mistake they can more understand and we also don’t shame if there are some students more diligent than us. We must give a positive motivation for our students if they do some mistake. Besides that, give positive motivation that mathematics is not difficult. Remember, don’t judge them because they do mistake in our lesson. Okay.

In the thirdly, as a teacher we must be well prepared, more creative, and cheers up. Don’t make heavy when we teach. Well prepared is very important, because with it, we can teach well absolutely. Avoid teaching spontaneously because it can make our lesson not focus in one topic. Don’t forget we must more creative as a teacher. We must make mathematics more fun and interesting. How we can make it happen? One of the ways is collaborated mathematics and ICT. Maybe, when we become a teacher in the future, technology needs is more increase rapidly. We can use this moment to make mathematics more fun, for example we can use games logic to teach mathematics, we can use applications (Geogebra, Mathlabs, etc) to make students more understand about the topic or use internet to search material or other exercise to increase students’ ability. In other way, we can give a game in a meeting, but this game also related to the topic. And don’t remember again, we must always show the good face for our students, for example with giving smile. Greet them with a good smile. Don’t show the bad face for them, because it only makes a bad stereotype about mathematics. J

Okay, I think it’s enough. It’s only my opinion and from some resources to be a good teacher in mathematics. I hope from this paper, we can change students’ view about mathematics from “mathematics is scary lesson in the world” become “mathematics is fun and interesting lesson in the world”. Amin. I belief we can do that, because we are a teacher candidate for future. We can make a different.

Note: I’m sorry if my English is not well. But, I hope it can be motivated for us to be a mathematics teacher,
