Computer Education In School

Posted by Hotaru Yuzuu | Posted in | Posted on 04.37

Responsibility of the schools that entered the era of globalization is to prepare students for the challenges mengahadapi in society changes very rapidly. Sala one of the challenges faced by the students is to become a qualified worker. The ability to speak in a foreign language and computer literacy are the two main criteria that are generally presented as a condition to enter the workforce in Indonesia (and around the world). Given the approximately 20-30% of high school graduates in the entire area is a transfer to the college level, and with computers that have been penetrated in all areas of human life, it takes a great responsibility for the education system to improve language skills and proficiency computers for our students.

Costs required to prepare computer learning in schools will be expensive.

    
* How the government will be able to finance this development?
    
* Providing what is needed, how the government can not evade to finance this development?
    
* Does the government have to pay in full for this development?

In dealing with this problem several private and public schools that have taken steps forward. In some schools they have built a very close relationship with local communities and make a leap of the community by inviting contributors to build a computer basic facilities. This school has shown how to overcome one of the biggest problems in the introduction of technology into schools in Indonesia on an ongoing basis. The effectiveness of this continuous system has grown long as the local community to understand how important technology for their children. In this case we have learned that, the schools are working with local communities to build facilities on a regular basis tend to grow and also increase the support of the local community.

Continuity is the main factor. In the past the program to provide technology to schools most successful in achieving a period of time long enough and rarely showed the development. Requirements regarding the language laboratory is a common example. Usually there are six main issues, namely;

    
* The budget for initial treatment facilities are not available.
    
* Training is usually too specific and not related to the needs on the ground or a change in attitude.
    
* Not available employees for routine maintenance and development.
    
* Not available qualified personnel or too expensive
    
* The material suitable for teaching is not available
    
* Lack of teachers' working conditions in the field encouraged that they can not divide the time to develop creative teaching materials.

These problems become more widespread in the computer because the level of expertise required to develop and maintain these facilities is very high and the value of computer literacy has a very high selling well. Suggestions to provide employee training in schools does not apply in the context of current. Because those who develop themselves to reach the expert level, they are in the commercial sector could produce ten times more than what they can in school, so maybe they'll spend time with work outside the office (this is also an issue to employees who has the ability in the field of public services).

How do I in some schools managed to buy a computer, an expensive and require maintenance costs high enough?

Only a few schools located a prosperous environment, where groups of parents-teachers can reach a large amount of money easily. However some other schools in the middle of the environment in which socio-economic level is low, but they also managed to achieve the same level in terms of achievement in the field of computers and other facilities in their school environment. Two examples of SMUN 2 Wonosari in Yogyakarta Special Region and SMUN 23 in Bandung, West Java. Initial approach to the development of the school they are similar but not the same. Both kerberhasilan arrange them in a way to cooperate and collaborate with local communities. Nevertheless SMUN 2 Wonosari dependent on the identification and development of the employees themselves. While SMUN 23 in Bandung initiative to determine the role of the program through enterprenur and get donations from the community and industry.

Heedless of the approach set, your school may decide to take some important points, the school must be completely objective, pro-active communication of these goals, benefit the local community and must be 100% open and transparent. It is important that development should be planned carefully so that improve the quality of graduate education for students can be easily discussed with the community. Will be very surprising if you see how much extra support to be obtained from the public when built a "trust" and they "understand" will benefit for their children. 


Equipment - What hardware is needed?

Regulation of the current, limiting the maximum number per class to 48 students. Meanwhile, ideal for the needs of the required 48 computers, this becomes an unrealistic goal for all schools in Indonesia today. Several schools have shown us that they started the success of extra-curricular programs with school a limited number of computers, through a strict schedule. The author believes that the closest realistic targets in the mean time is to be 24 computers. In fact most of the class of 48 students under a comparative figure for the students to the computer no more than 2: 1. Sharing a computer during the early stages of computer training can provide benefits to help build self-confidence and also provide the opportunity for more advanced students, so they can help students who are weak (increasing the efficiency of teachers). This does not mean that now you have to buy 24 computers. You can start a program of extra-curricular basis with only 2 computers. The important thing is you have a plan, make arrangements for training and memepersiapkan your employees, and began to discuss the computer problem. The author has taught Internet classes using only one computer only. 


NOTE:

Almost all computer supplier in Indonesia will conduct any program installed in accordance with the request, for the sake of the computer that were purchased. This is one of the reasons will be very important planning of the training objectives in order later to find out what programs are required and cost-saving programs (software). Even so I would recommend that at least 20% (preferably all) of your computer has a CD ROM drive so if the requested special programs remain, then the CD can be used.
