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:

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
