Education system Netherlands and Indonesia, which is better?

Education? Why education is very important to our life? Based on Wikipedia, definition of education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits. so we can conclude that education is the process to make us know everything. Education is very important for us because it'll make us become educated person who can make us walk on our life better than if we become uneducated person.

Now, I would like to tell about education system in Netherlands and Indonesia. Why I choose Netherlands? because based on sources that I read, Netherlands is one of country that has the best education system in the world. To achieve good education, Dutch government through the ministry of education, culture and science (Ministry Marja Van Bijsterveldt) requires teachers teaching in kindergarten till the high school should to have licensed University. "Since the 1815, the Netherlands already have a good education system and developing continue, and Diploma education in Netherlands greatly appreciated in the world international. It"s exactly very profitable for student or foreign students in the Netherlands.

The differences between education system in Netherlands and Indonesia

1. Education system in Netherlands

   

    For Netherlands, orientation international is very important for education in Netherlands. Education system in the Netherlands focuses on the team work, create an ideal environment for friends. Teaching style in Netherlands can be described as interactive and student-centered, give student attention and freedom they need to develop the opinion and creativity their own in apply knowledge their newly acquired. this activity will make you become more develop and open your mind.

I would like to review some part of education system in Netherlands.

First the Dutch way of teaching. Teaching way in the Netherlands has some of way that make the education system in Netherlands better.

a) Develop an open mind through interactive learning

          The Dutch teaching style is interactive and student-centered. It focuses on teamwork, which makes it easy to meet other international students. Studying in Holland means developing an open mind and icreasing your international orientation. A large part of all study programs is dedicated to writing papers and working in groups to analyze and solve specific problems. You will also get a chance to get practical work experience through internships or do experiments in laboratories, depending on the field of study.

b) Teamwork

          Holland has received international praise for its teaching style, which centers on student working together as a team and on self-study and self-discipline. The teacher will act as a facilitator and guide in the learning process.

c) Interaction in class

          Interaction in class is highly appreciated. You are expected to think about the knowledge that is presented to you and develop and express your own opinion. You are free to ask questions and be critical of what lecturers or fellow students say. Use your own creativity to apply your newly-gained knowledge.

d) Respect for all opinions

        The Dutch teaching method is founded on respect for each individual's opinions and convictions. This mindset is not limited to education institutions, it is a national characteristic. It is the foundation for Holland's diverse and plural society. 

        In addition, there is Problem Based Learning System in the Netherlands. "The Netherlands has received international recognition for a ground- based problem learning system, which trains student to analyze and solve practical problems independently. The problem based learning system places emphasis on independent study and self-discipline with most all study programs dedicated to writing papers, working in groups to analyze and solve certain problems, gain practical work experience through internships, and conduct experiments in the laboratory.

Second, School system in the Netherlands. 

The education system in the Netherlands is very different from the education system known in Asia, America, even in most parts Europe. One of the differences in the education system in the Netherlands is the occupation that has started since education in the elementary school by taking into consideration the interest and academic skills of the student who is concerned.

In general, the identification system can be categorized as follows:

1. Basic and advanced education (primary en secondary education)
2. Vocational high education (senior secondary education and training)
3. Higher education

School system in Netherlands can describe like diagram below!

2. Education system in Indonesia 

       Education system in Indonesia reference by Undang-Undang Dasar No. 20 tahun 2003 about sistem Pendidikan Nasional (National Education System). Education system and all about education it contains in Undang-Undang. I would like to review about the teaching way and school system in Indonesia only.

First, the teaching way of education system in Indonesia.
      Teaching way of education always change follow the curriculum of Indonesia. Actually, teaching way in Indonesia has the similar with Dutch teaching way.
a) Develop an open mind through interactive learning.
     In this era, the way of teaching develop an open mind through interactive learning already using in teaching education in every school. But, may be the way not already to run well.

b) Teamwork
     This way already using in teaching education in the class. Kurtilas (Kurikulum 2013) has a plan to make student can learn in the teamwork and it will make student usually with this way.

c) Interaction in class
    Actually since there is Kurtilas, student have already to learn actively in the classroom. Student have to do an interaction in the class with teacher or their friends. Learning in Kurtilas prioritize to student. So, student should to be active in learning process. Teacher only as a facilitator.

d) Respect for all opinions
     for this way I think every school have to use it because respect for all opinions not only for learning process, but also in all aspects. So, respect for all opinions exactly found in every learning process in Indonesia. 

Second, school system in Indonesia.
Indonesia has school system that divided into three main course. Formal education, Nonformal education, and Informal education.
1) Formal education
     Formal education is an education held in school in general. This educational lifeline has clear education, beginning with basic education, middle education, until higher education. Example of formal education is Kindergarten, Elementary school, Junior High school, Senior high school, and Unviersity.

2) Nonformal education
    Nonformal education is found at an early age, and basic education, is a TPA, or a quran education park, which has many in every mosque and Sunday school, which is found in all churches.

3) Informal education
    Informal education is a family education path and a self-guiding, self-sustaining environmentof learning and responsibilty. Example of this education is homeschholing.

     We can conclude that every country has the different education system in their country. Indonesia and Netherlands also have the different in education system, but sometimes also have the similarity in some aspect.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus

Hello everyone! How's your life today? I hope you'll be fine 😊 So happy to meet you in my blog again. I hope you have the same feeling with me 😄.

For this blog, I would like to share about Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. This blog is an assignment that gave by my lovely lecturer , Mrs. Yuna 😊. Have you ever known about that? Not yet? Ok, I show you about the real book from the title above.

That's the real book from Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. The book made by John Gray, Ph.D. The book explained about "A practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What you Want in Your Relationship". It showed in the cover book. 😅

Due to this book has 13 chapter, I just wanna share and review chapter 5 only 😁. In chapter 5, I'll review about "Speaking Different Language". Why? Because I really interest about different language between men and women, women especially.

As we knew that Men and Women have different language when they're talking. Men are always say something appropriate with the men's think, but different with women. Women are sometime or often or always say something different with women's think. Right? 😅.

Please look at the picture below!

Female and male dictionary.

As you saw on the picture above, women has different meaning when they're talking something. For example when women say, "Leave me alone" its mean that men should to stay and don't go. Men has different with women. When men say, "Leave me alone" its mean that you should to go from men and leave him alone.

So, we can know that women are always use poetic license and use various superlatives, metaphors, and
generalizations when they are speaking. But, men use words literally  when they are speaking. If man say, "I'm okay" its means that he is okay.

Women are always say words that using poetic and various supertlative or we can familiar with words "code". Women are always use a code to express their feelings. For example you can see the picture below!

Do you get something from that picture?. Women usually use a poetic words. Women use artistic licence and dramatic vocabulary to fully express and relate their feelings. Women like to express their feeling use "code" or dramatic words. Men use words literally without using dramatic vocabulary. Because of it, men should understand his partner more than men realize right now. 😅

When Men and Women Fix up problem.
When women have problems , she usually want to share her problem and share her feelings with her partner. Example from John in his book "Women think out loud, sharing their process of inner discovery with an interested listener. Even today, a woman often discovers what she wants to say through the process of just talking. This process of just letting thoughts flow freely and expressing them out loud helps her to tap into her intuition. This process is perfectly normal and especially necessary sometimes." We can conclude that women are always to share everything with theri partner to make their feelings better.

When men have problems, they usually choose to be quite. Men choose to keep his problem from other. Men thinks that he can fix his problem by himself and he doesn't want other people to interfere his problem. John gray gave an example on his book, "Women need to know that when a man says "I am OK" it is an short version of what he really meant, which is "I am OK because I can deal with this alone. I do not need any help. Please support me by not worrying about me. Trust that I can deal with it all by myself". So, women must  understand about men's feelings.

Different meaning of silence between men and women.

That is different of silence between men and women . 😄😆

So, we can conclude that men and women must to be understand and respect each other. Men and women also have to be understand about the language of their partner, especially for men because women sometimes become complicated when they express their feelings. 😆 Respect each other can make the relationship better.

 I think it's enough from me, thank you very much for reading my blog 😊. I'm really sorry for a lot of mistakes that I've wrote and for my poor english in this blog. You can give your comment for me below. 😊
