Family education



Family education is an important part of the character education of children. Because the families that the child gets the most time. The role of parents is very important in family education.
Family is a part of the community. Where the values ​​of society come from families who are in it.
Education is at the core of the growing family of intrinsic values ​​in children. The values ​​are:
- Value of Religion
Religious values ​​are very important for children, because it will lead children on the right path, according his religious beliefs. Because religion is one of human rights. And religion can tell which are good, which ones are wrong. Religion is also a live human-derived guidance of God.
- Cultural Values
Culture is all the result of taste, creativity, human initiative. Cultural values ​​also need to be imparted to our children. Culture in all areas, including on clothing, customs, laws and so on.
- Moral Values
Morale is an indicator that the human society is civilized or not. Because moral will teach you how to respect the elderly, to treat others and so forth
- Value Skills
Skills are very important for survival. Children need to be trained in the skills of the family. Eg, make the beds, sweep the house, cooking for women and other skills.
Of the above values ​​is very important to note and delivered to children us. It's all for the continuation of human generations strong character and good temperament.

Education System in Indonesia

Keep in mind the education system in Indonesia is the worst number 3 in the world on Mexico and Brazil. This according to an article released by the BBC on 27 November 2012.
If you see a successful education system, the study concluded that the cost of education is important, but more important to have culture in support of education itself. So here is the role of society and culture are very important in influencing the education system. Because according to Sir Michael Barber, Pearson primary education adviser, said "successful countries is that give high status to the teacher and have a culture of education"
So what is wrong in the education system in Indonesia?
funding
Funding is very important, because it will provide the facilities and infrastructure to support the educational process. School operational funds is pretty good, just a matter distribution that may need dibenah.
methods of Education
In Indonesia, the role of the teacher is too active feeding the role of science to students so that students are less developed. So it needs to be invested creative souls that students are better developed and emerging entrepreneurship souls.
Attitude not chase Value Value report cards
Attitude and values ​​too dikotomikan academic value in Indonesian education system, it needs revamping.
Education management
Authority of the central government in Indonesia is still very dominant in the national education system. So dareah can not adjust to the local conditions in the existing education system.

Character Education (continued )

We have seen that character education is an educational process that should be ongoing , not produced in a short time and instant .
One character education is increasing discipline . What is the meaning of discipline ? Maybe we think that a lot of discipline is to punish people who ' undisciplined ' .
Yet disciplined if we look at history , the discipline comes from the Latin ' Disciplus ' meaning disciple or the way we give an example , the way we raise pupils . So discipline is a process that gradually train someone to have self control .
And to train them to have the self-control does not have the penalties . Punishment is just one way of many ways even the last way to impose discipline . But in our society the punishment is usually done in a way that the first application of discipline . Looks like this is wrong .
Okay , now we see more about the discipline , the discipline there are 2 types of negative discipline and positive discipline . What is meant by negative discipline is the discipline that gives effect lowers self-esteem of a person . And conversely positive discipline is discipline mebuat increasing one's self esteem .
Good discipline is self- discipline that makes someone will be lifted . Such as : Providing a good example , or if someone made a mistake , give a true example but do not beat .
If we apply the often negative discipline then someone will always feel guilty and eventually became self-conscious and do not want to hang out with other people ( negative social effects ) and this will endanger her life in the community .
To be able to deliver positive discipline , there are a variety of ways , namely :
1. By asking
It means asking someone to do something good doing explanation
2. Give the correct explanation of the result Mistake he did .
3. Give direct instructions
This is done if the direct concerns to the dangerous . But be aware that direct instruction should involve an element of acknowledging feelings , understand the feelings , and then the new drive .
4. Give a gift
A feat it would be good given the appreciation . But keep in mind not present here the results achieved , but efforts have been made .
5. punishment
Educate punishment , meaning punishment makes her introspection . Not a punishment that comes from our emotions .

Actually disciplinary education can start from small thing . For example : the discipline to not watch television , but replace it by reading a book .

Character Education

Scoring students or human character is not an easy job and instant . Since it takes constant effort and continuous . Not only the theory but must be practiced continuously in order to be suatau habits and character development or a person's character .

Furthermore character education course is intended to make a solution to all the problems of moral degradation that is currently going on that can be seen , heard , and felt. Where the cause of this is none other than the failure of education inject moral values ​​to students there.

Character education is apt to be implemented in the present , because the purpose of education itself not only produce intelligent beings , but also creates a human character . As said Dr . Martin Luther King , the ultimate goal of true education is education that makes a man intelligent character .

To realize the character education in schools there are a variety of ways , the most important is implemented and practiced . Not only theory which will be converted to a number of points . And schools are required to make character education as a good value system . For example : start of study obey school rules , discipline , honesty in acting and so forth . That surely there must be role models in the school of educators .

In the other side , character education in particular must involve all the elements involved in the educational process , such as families , communities , schools and educators directly . Therefore , the first step in character education is synergy between the elements mentioned above . Especially households as the main shaper and supported by other environments .

The values ​​contained in the community is also very influential on character education . Because it will affect the success of ethical values ​​, aesthetics and character building . According to Quraish Shihab , the situation with the value system espoused , will affect the overall outlook . If the perspective is limited then the effort and ambition will be limited as well ,

So the character education of the learners are expected to have the attitude of discipline , cooperation , obedience and responsible . And it can be formed with hard work and practice course .

Religious Education

Religious education is as important as formal education. Even possible in some areas or zones in Indonesia is more important than public education. Because religious education is one of the human character education and every religion teaches definitely a good thing, at least to behave better. Moreover, religious life in Indonesia have a something that is inherent to social life.

Religious education can begin at an early age. Starting with the knowledge of what is good and what is wrong in life. And introduce a simple way of true worship.

Once again both religious education and general science, best first introduced by the parents of the child. New to the other agencies concerned.

Religious education is strongly associated with the culture or cultures that exist in the local community. Perhaps religious education in West Sumatra will vary with religious education in Central Java, for example.

The most powerful fortress in the face of life and living, according to my religious education was instrumental. Willpower, mental strength, behavior, manners, human nature and others established with religious education.

Therefore religious education is very very important to be implemented, and performed better when our children were aged early, still very fresh, not received influences from outside.

Primary Education

Primary education is a continuation of early childhood education. Sangatberperan where basic education to further education continuation, ie pendidiskan middle (junior high).

In the Indonesian education system, primary education starts for children aged 7 years. Because of the age of the child can begin to have a level of understanding and education needs in accordance with the development of his soul. Container to implement basic education is elementary school. In elementary school the child will experience the process of education and learning in order to be prepared as a basis for further education process.

Basic education goal
The general purpose of the provision of basic education is to give basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic, basic knowledge and skills that are beneficial to students according to their level of development and prepare them for further education following the junior.

In basic education in primary schools, there are three basic aspects that must be met, namely knowledge, attitudes and skills. These three things are most important in primary education because it is the most essential thing in taking life. Because all three of these aspects is fundamental to doing good in our social environment. Good knowledge creates realistic output good, good attitude is needed in public life. And no less important are the skills that we can survive in our social environment. This education is given for 6 consecutive years. Basic education is very important, because it provides the basis of life in civic life.

Early Childhood Education

Before we step further theme of early childhood education , so here we have to understand what it is education itself and what is meant by an early age .

Education is the same that I have said is a process to increase the knowledge , skills and self-reliance . So education is aimed at the establishment of a human character . And most times it is either in the formation of the early age .

What is meant by an early age is the age range 0 years to under 6 years ( before the age of basic education ) . So early childhood education is to provide educational stimulation to assist the growth and development of the body and spirit to be prepared for further education through informal , formal and non-formal . And I think early childhood education for children is the most suitable educators PARENTS ARE CHILDREN . So here is the role of parents is very important for the future of early childhood education .

Why is early childhood education is important ?
Because according to the study , 50 % of human intelligence capability development occurs by the age of 4 years old , also the physical development of brain tissue by 80 % . And at the peak of the brain growth at the age of 18 years . And after that the development will stagnate and even fall though aided by good nutrition .

As it is known that early childhood education aimed at preparation for further education . So that early childhood education is the best investment for the future parents to our children .

The purpose of early childhood education are :
The main purpose : to establish a qualified child , the child grows and develops in accordance with the level of development that has optimal readiness in entering basic education and through life in the accompanying dewasa.Tujuan : to help prepare children achieve learning readiness ( academic ) in school .
In short , early childhood education is a form of education that focuses on laying the foundation toward growth and physical development ( fine and gross motor coordination ) , intellect (the intellect , creativity , emotional intelligence , spiritual intelligence ) , socio-emotional ( attitude and behavior as well as religious ) language and communication , according to the uniqueness and developmental stages through which early childhood .
What is the difference children who receive early childhood education in a quality institution with a child who did not get early childhood education ?
According to Byrnes ( Winning the title of Woman of the Year Vitasoy Australia ) in early childhood education institutions are good , children will learn to be an independent person , socialize strong , confident , has a great curiosity , can take an idea , develop ideas , go to another school and ready to learn , quick to adapt , and a passion for learning .
Meanwhile, the children who did not receive early childhood education , will be slow to accept something . Children who do not receive proper early childhood education , would like a car that does not leak gas . Children are educated early age appropriate to have a full tank , the engine will direct the way so he's in a new place . While children are not educated early age will start the engine trouble , become sluggish .
It is undeniable that early childhood education is an education that is very fundamental and strategic human resource development . Once the importance of education is not surprising that many countries pay great attention to education is up to the government of Indonesia also provide free education up to junior level .

Education Throughout Life

To continue my previous article, education will continue to take place after birth. A baby is first born will meet the first education, is looking for breast milk from the mother or the rear. It is also an educational process, because in it there is a process to find a better, improve skills and provide a good motvasi.

Here proves that education has been started since a manusai born into the world of the womb. And it will continue so that someone died.

In the arms of his mother, he will continue to learn about everything. Start learning about compassion, warmth and all the parents of the human humanist side. Because according to the definition of education itself is a continuous process that can provide a positive value, motivation, skills and new knowledge.

Lifelong education can be done in a formal or non-formal. So the purpose of education itself can be achieved. The purpose of education is to increase the intelligence, the human form of qualified, skilled, independent, innovative, and can increase the faith and devotion. Therefore education is needed by the man himself to run good and quality of life. Well as being an individual, social and religious.

Since education Pregnancy

Education takes place in the womb until his death. Education will end if we had parted with our bodies. Before we step toward a more distant, then what education should be delivered. Intent and purpose in education. And those kinds of education itself.

Education is a process to get something useful in life. So if a process then it should continue to last for life. Education can be obtained in a state of non-formal or formal.

Education in the womb
To get something of quality, then there must be preparation from scratch. So also to get quality human. Should be prepared in the womb, even before meeting their mother and father.

A good woman will meet a good man too. This will make quality child too. Also in the process of childbearing. In children it contains some things that must be considered, namely:

Keeping the parents' behavior. Children in the womb are not directly affected behavior of their parents. Parents are often at odds, will give bad influence to the fetus.
Always eat nutritious foods. Physical development of the fetus is dependent upon the mother's food intake. A nutritious and balanced diet will give you a good physical development to the fetus
Always pray. All events related to living creatures is inseparable to the Creator. Therefore parents should always pray to God for the protection of the womb always kept us going as we expected
