HOME SCHOOLING

          

Well, at this day we learned about home schooling(*) and worked as a group. This is our discussion about homeschooling.

Home schooling is alternative learning model in addition to the school and put the children as a subject through the approach as “at home”.

Home schooling offers some benefits rather than public schooling such as freedom, material in learning, family, and timing of rest.

The first benefit is freedom in learning and emotional. It is extremely important part of society. Through home schooling, children can learn according to their desire and will not feel pressured by giving them many tasks as in public schooling. In addition, frequently children feel the pressure, competition and boredom while they learned in public schooling. However, in home schooling the negative effects can be avoided.

The second is materials of learning are more simple. In home schooling, the learning of materials are very board and do not point at the curriculum that is set by government. Creativity of children will be developed according to their interest through the various media of learning, such as internet, environment, and so on. The applying of contextual teaching and learning is the effective model for home schooling. The holding of learning is also flexible.

The third is the relationship with family will be closer. Homeschooling takes the important role in intensifying relationship among family members. The solidarity can be tied because parents take over in educating their children directly. The role of parents is very important and should be dominant.

The last benefit is home schooling provides sufficient rest for children. The daily activity as wake up in the morning as at public schooling sometimes makes child feel tired. Taking a little of rest and bed time can influence their emotional and physical health. However, parents do not need any worries, because in home schooling, they can manage their rest time well.

Here are some pics of home schooling group working:

Thank you for reading:)

TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE

v                    Introduction

There are several kinds of the tool that is used to a teacher or instructor in improving the learning of the discussion , the students like the method of speech , inquiry , and others . I want to introduce one of the methods is the method of physical response tpr ( total ) as one of the techniques presentation in teaching especially in learning a foreign language , whether it 's english , japan , the french , and so on .

v                    Reviewing The Principle

1. what are the goals of teacher who use TPR?

2. what is the role of the teacher? What  is the role of students?

3. what are some characteristics of the teaching/learning process?

4. what is the nature of student-teacher interaction? What is the nature of student-student interaction?

5. how are the feelings of the students dealt with? 

SUGGESTOPEDIA

v  Suggestopedia is a specific set of learning recommendations derived from suggestology, which Lozanov describes as a “science…concerned with the systematic study of the nonrational and/or nonconcious  influences” that human beings are constantly  responding.

v  Characteristics of  this  method:

-          Decoration.

-           Furniture.

-           Arrangement of the classroom.

-           The use of soft music.

-           The authoritative behavior of the teacher.

v  Role of Learners

-          Pseudo-passive state.

-          Learners must not try to to figure out,

-          Not to manipulate, or not to study material

-          Learners sit in a circle

-          Encourages face-to-face exchange

-          Activity participation

v  Role of Teacher

According to Lozanov, teachers should give attention to

-          Absolute confidence

-          His/her manners and dress

-          Organizing the lesson (music choice, punctuality)

-          Responding tactfully

-          Modest enthusiasm

v          Role of Materials

Direct Supported Materials:

- Texts

- Tape

Indirect Supported Materials:

-    Classroom fixtures

-    Music

-    Text books

-    Learning environment

v          Advantages of Suggestopedia

-          Motivation

-          self-confidence

-          Less stressed

v  Disadvantages of Suggestopedia

-          Hardness of finding colorful environment

-          Negative effects of direct translation

-          Concentration problems.

SILENT WAY

v  Introduction

According to Cattegno’s conclusion, learning is a process which we initiate by ourselves by using our inner resources to meet the challenge at hand.

v        The learning hypotheses

-       Learning is facilitated if the learner discovers or creates rather than remembers and repeats what is to be learned       

-       Learning is facilitated by accompanying (mediating) physical object

-       Learning is facilitated by problem solving involving the material to be learned

v        Theory of learning

-       A successful learning involves commitment of the self to language acquisition through the use of silent awareness and then active trial

-       Silent Way learners acquire “inner criteria”.

-       The silent Way student is expected to become independent, autonomous and responsible

v        Goals

-       Students should be able to use the language for self-expression.

-       Students need to develop their own inner criteria for correctness by each other or themselves without the dependence of the teacher.

v        Teacher’s roles:

-       Start with something the students have already known and build from that to the unknown. 

-       As a technician or engineer: The teacher is a silent helper who only gives what help is necessary.

-       Respect the autonomy of the learners in their attempts at relating and interacting with the new challenges

v       Student’s roles:

-          Make use of what they know

-          Free themselves of any obstacles that would interfere with giving their utmost attention to the learning task

-          Actively engage in exploring the language.

v  The advantages of Silent Way

-          To stimulate students’ responses

-          To educate  students’ consentration

-          To train in making students’ decisions

v  The disadvantages of Silent Way

-          Teacher-centered

-          Just studying  sillable pronunciation

-          Leaning proses there is no guarantee

-           There is no repeatation explanation

SELF DIRECTED LEARNING

v  SDL is a process in which individuals take the initiative, with or without the help of others," to diagnose their learning needs, formulate learning goals, identify resources for learning, select and implement learning strategies, and evaluate learning outcomes.

v       Self Management

Brockeet and hiemstra(1991) view SDL as an instructional procees of assessing learner’s needs,identifying learning resources,implementing learning activities and evaluating learning outcomes.It focuses on teaching learning transaction an institutional setting that is almost to individualised to instruction.It involved negotiation between the learner’sand the teacher about learning goals,methods of learning,use the resource,and assesment of outcomes.

v       Self Monitoring

Self monitoring focuses on both cognitive and metacognitive aspect of learning,which are internal to the learner’s.Cognitive process(thinking,making meaning of information,and integrating new knowledge into existing knowledge structure) are necessary in all learning process.Metacognition refers to thinking about thinking or learning to learn,which is related to learner’s ability to reflect on their learning.

v       Extention Of Learning

In this learning process, where a learner has total control about the choice of what the learn,how to learn,and how to evaluate learning.

PROJECT BASE LEARNING

v  Project Based Learning is an instructional approach built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation. These activities are designed to answer a question or solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the classroom.

v       Designing and Planning Successful Project

1.    BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

                Great project begin with planning for the end result. In this section, you will learn to conceive manageable project s with engaging themes and high standard.    

                   By beginning with the end in mind, you will improve  your ability to plan projects , as well  as communicate the purpose and context of project to your students.  Students who understand the meaning of what they are learning  retain more information , apply their knowledge more skillfully, and feel more motivated to achieve

         

          The Step Is :

                   a. Develop a Project Idea

                   b. Decide The Scope of  the Project

                   c. Select Standard

                   d. Incorporate Simultaneous Outcomes

                   e. Work from Project Design Criteria

                   f. create the  Optimal Learning Environment.

2.   CRAFT THE DRIVNG QUESTION

          In this section you will learn  how to  craft and refine  the driving question. A good driving question makes a project intriguing, complex, and problematic.

3. PLAN THE ASSESSMENT

        Project base learning  reorients learners and teachers  away from traditional paper and pencil test and toward more “authentic” assessment practices. In addition to teaching  content, instructional goals associated  with PBL are tied to the use of knowledge  and skills as students go about  a problem- activity.

          In this section you will learn how to develop multiple products that give all students opportunities to demonstrate their learning and that form the basis for the balanced assessment  plan for the project.

Creating a Balanced Assessment Plan

a.    Align Product with Outcomes

b.   Know What to Assess

c.   Use Rubrics

4.   MAP THE PROJECT

        A project map is similar to a lesson plan, but it reflex the extend nature  of project and the need to structure the project. A well- constructed  project map include more  than a sequence of activities ; it is a design  or supporting  and directing students as they create  products in the project.  A map help you  the  requisite  skills that your student need to perform , develop the timeline for the project , and gather resources to support critical  learning activities in the project.

          In this section show you how to be successful as a project planner.

Key Steps

          a. Organize Tasks and Activities

b. Decide How to Launch the Project

c. Gather Resources

d. Draw a “Storyboard”

5. MANAGE THE PPROCESS

        In this section guidelines for successful project management are accompanied by form by forms in the idea blank that provide specific aid for grouping and managing students.

Key Steps

          a. Share project goals with students

          b. use problem-solving tools

          c. use checkpoints and milestones

          d. plan for evaluation and reflection

v       Project Base Learning Process

1. Students are faced with the problem and try to finish that                 problems .

2. Identifying what should be studied to better understand the problems and how to solve it.

3. Seek information from various sources such as books, journals, reports, online information or ask an expert in accordance with the field. In this way, learning is personalized according to the needs and lifestyles of each individual.

4. After getting the information, they are back on the problem and        apply what they have learned to understand and solve them.

5.   At the end of the process, students are assessed against him and give  criticism for his friends.

v        Principles and purpose of Project Base Learning

  1. Students charged with responsibility for education, and students directed to be less dependent on teacher

  2.   Forming an independent student who can continue the learning process on the lives and careers that they would have

  3.    Teachers act more as facilitators or tutors who guide students through the educational process

  4.     Challenged the students to further develop critical thinking skills and be able to settle the issue effectively

  5.   The learning process is formed from the irregularity and complexity of the problem, it is used as an incentive for students to learn to integrate and organize the information
