Do you know which country the quality of education was ranked first in the world? If you do not know, do not why because there are many who do not know that the first ranked for quality education is Finland. Countries with capital of Helsinki was indeed so extraordinary. Rank 1 this world acquired Finland based on the results of a comprehensive international survey in 2003 by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The test is known as the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) to measure students' skills in the fields of Science, Reading, and Mathematics.
Remarkably, Finland not only excel academically but also showed superior in the education of mentally feeble children. In summary, Finland managed to make all the smart students. Then what is the key so that Finland became the world's No. 1 line? In the case of Finland's education budget is slightly higher than the average in European countries but is still inferior to other countries.
Finland is not to boost their students by increasing the hours of learning, giving extra homework load, soldier discipline, or bombed the students with various tests. In contrast, students in Finland start school at a rather slow compared with other countries, namely at the age of 7 years, and at school they are in fact much less, at only 30 hours per week. Compare with Korea, ranked second after Finland, which students spend 50 hours per week.
What was the key? It turned out that the key lies in the quality of teachers. In Finland there are only teachers with the best quality with the best training as well. Teaching profession itself is a highly respected profession, even though their wages are not fantastic. The best high school graduates usually just sign up for admission in schools of education, and only 1 of 7 applicants will be accepted. Competition is more stringent than go to law school or medical! Compare with Indonesia, which the teachers have supplied the students with a quality pickup. Some students in Indonesia, instead choosing teachers college as a last alternative. They are trained by the college with a quality too sober.
With good quality students and education and training of highly qualified lecturers who are also not wrong if then they can become teachers with high quality as well. With the competence they are free to use any class methods that they like, with which they design their own curriculum and textbooks they choose sendiri.Jika other countries believe that the testing and evaluation for students is a very important for the quality of education, Finland would believe that the examination and testing is what destroys the purpose of student learning. Too much testing makes us tend to teach our students to simply pass the exam, said a teacher in Finland. Though many aspects of education that can not be measured by exams. At the age of 18 yr students take the exam to determine their qualifications in colleges and two-thirds of graduates go to college.
Students are taught to evaluate themselves, and even since Pre-Kindergarten! It helps students learn to be responsible for their own jobs, says Sundström, elementary school principal in Poikkilaakso, Finland. And if they are responsible they will more bebas.Guru bekeja not necessarily control them. Students are encouraged to work independently with their own trying to find the information they need. Students learn more if they find themselves the information they need. We do not learn anything if we live to write what was said by the teacher. Here the teacher does not teach with lecture method. The atmosphere is very relaxed and flexible school. The existence of too many command will only generate a sense of distress, and resulted in a learning atmosphere becomes unpleasant.
Groups of students who later received intensive support. This is also what makes Finland a success. Based on the PISA findings, the schools in Finland is very little difference between students who are doing well and the bad, and is the best according to the OECD. Remedial is not considered a sign of failure but as an opportunity to improve. A teacher in charge of learning and behavior problems students create an individual program for each student with emphasis on the objectives to be achieved, for example: First, go to class, then come on time, next, bring books, etc.. If you get homework students do not even need to answer correctly, the important thing they tried.
The teachers are very avoid criticism of their student work. According to them, if we say "You're wrong" on students, then it will make students shy. And if they are ashamed then this will hinder them in learning. Each student is allowed to make mistakes. They only asked to compare their results with the previous value, and not with other students. So there is no ranking system-rankingan. Each student is expected to be proud of her own. best student race in class is only make teachers focus on a handful of qualified students who are considered best in its class.
The greatness of the education system in Finland is a combination of high teacher competence, patience, tolerance and commitment to success through personal responsibility. If I failed in teaching his students, said a teacher, then that means there's something wrong with my teaching! It's really a very responsible teacher utterance.
