How the Philosophy of Freedom Learning is Fun

Writer : Tundung Memolo

Freedom in the dictionary means not being bound, not dependent on certain people or parties, and free. Meanwhile, learning means trying to gain intelligence or knowledge. If these two words are combined, it can be interpreted literally to be free to gain knowledge.

In a broader context, that means freedom means free. Free to do anything, including freedom in learning. A person is free in any way, anytime, with anyone, and anywhere to gain knowledge. Free here is not unlimited free, but free with limits. What's the limit? namely the rules and norms that apply.

Two visible programs, which he rolled out. Namely the termination of the National Examination (National Examination) and the existence of a 1-page learning plan. These two programs are seen as shock therapy for teachers in the field. Of course, make the heartbeat.

When the national exam was abolished, initially they got pros and cons. However, if we match it with the meaning of the philosophy of freedom of learning, then the UN needs to be eliminated. Because the UN has shackled teachers and students. Teachers are shackled by the material that is chasing broadcast, while students are shackled by the focus of learning on certain subjects. Initially, it received some rejection, as a result, thanks to Corona, the national examination was 100% abolished without any contra.

Lesson plan 1-page boom, teachers competing to googling on the internet, like what and how. Until the rules for simplifying the lesson plan emerged. The teacher was also nervous because the lesson plan format had to be changed.

Apparently, that was not enough. The wheel philosophy of independent learning is running in the field. Forms of activating teachers, prospective assisting teachers, and a selection team for activating teachers, from teachers were formed. Until finally the activating teacher organization emerged.

The three programs above appear to be working because until now the selection process is still ongoing. Meanwhile, the driving teacher organization program, which was initially smooth, turned out to be a steep and winding road. Not only rejection but a discourse arose to remove Mas Minister.

A policy will certainly have pros and cons. This is natural, therefore a policymaker must have the courage to take risks. Because he is the captain. Not just 1 ship but this entire nation.

A lot of input is related to the activating organization program. The real key is budget use. Whereas a very large budget, namely 595 billion which must be financed by the state budget for 2 years. For some people, that budget is very large. Meanwhile, there is still much unequal education.

Several DPR members gave harsh criticism that the KPK would intervene. Finally, the program runs in place, the terms will be evaluated first.

At the curriculum level, the philosophy of independent learning, it seems that there has been no significant change. Even though some teachers still complain about the severity of this curriculum, both from the content to the assessment standards.

In general, the curriculum needs to be simplified too. This does not mean that the curriculum must be changed, but it is necessary to give the teacher the freedom to determine the priority scale of the material which does not have to be uniform. There is a minimum to maximum curriculum standard. Thus, there is a teacher room to present material as creatively as possible, because it is not overwhelmed with syllabus targets.

Ideally, the philosophy of independent learning means that students learn according to what they want. In other words, students learn according to their interests. Each student can be different in the way they learn. Cannot be uniformed.

Let us consider the structure of the word independent learning. Who is free to study here. Of course the students themselves. Because if it is oriented towards teachers, it becomes ambiguous with the word independent teaching. Because students should be free to learn, the Mas Minister program should be focused on how students learn independently.

The hope is that the ongoing program will be able to create independent students in learning. And of course, developing independent students in learning is not an easy thing. Within the class scope alone, students have various interests, while the teacher is only 1.

If the thread is pulled straight out, will this freedom of learning form a vocational school from the primary school level? However, if this is not the case, then it will be too late when children's interests and majors are determined when they are at the senior high school level.

Indeed, you don't have to form a vocational school since elementary school, but at least students are left to choose the subjects they like. Can the teacher serve students like that? Able, if the driving teacher is directed to it. Don't let the driving teacher just change the name of the learner teacher, the era of the previous minister.
