The General Objective of Education

The general objective of education is to develop the Indonesian people fully in the sense that education is done while maintaining the unity, diversity, develop individual goals. Every citizen has the right to education evenly with excellence (excellence) and balance (equity) between utilization (acces) with achievement (achievement). This lofty goal will be achieved if carried out educational activities and responsible for ensuring the academic quality of the design, management of the educational process, based on the concept of growth, development, renewal, and sustainability so that education should be managed professionally. Education sector on which so many hopes to be able to produce quality resources, often breathless faced with serious problems due to the development of a continuous and very fast. Educational experience fatigue and helplessness, which is called by Coombs as education crisis. Indonesia was not the only nation that was mengghadapi condition this dilemma.

English nation is also facing the same problem, namely education, declining academic quality and economically weak low access to higher education. In The Economist magazine issue 8 September 2005, disclosed the results of a survey of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2004, of the top 20 world universities, academic slump experienced by the 17 universities in the United States, 2 and 1 college English Japanese universities. The article also reveals unequal access between the 2 countries, only 16 percent of children less fortunate families in the UK to get access to higher education, whereas in the United States more than 45 percent.

In Indonesia, the level of human development index (HDI) which measures the comparison of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standard of living has not moved up significantly, this ranking does not vary much with the newly independent country of Vietnam (Table 1), while access to education for ages 19-24 years enrolled as a student in Indonesia is also not encouraging at 14 percent. Conditions for continued participation in higher education is still low when compared with Malaysia (38 percent) or Egypt (30 percent).

Amid the state of education in Indonesia as it is today, University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) which is one of Private Universities (PTS) which are the largest in East Java, are encouraged to not cease to make arrangements so that the education system to be a center of excellence of various things the community needs with an emphasis on Quality, Efficiency and Relevance in an attempt to make the UMM as a real university that relies on excellence and keterdepanan, as the vision, mission, and goals set. The vision and mission of the university reflects the intrinsic quality of the multi-faceted approach and multidimensional.

Peace Education

Definition of Peace Education

In peace education, encouraged mutual understanding, tolerance and friendship regardless of race and religion. This is termed the peace education. The word peace or peace generally applicable and is the opposite of violence or abuse. Violence can occur in all aspects of life. In the fields of politics, economics, law and culture. In the field of education, other forms of punishment or sanction his extreme, abuse of authority, coercion and pressure or violate the code of ethics and compliance norms, also referred to as a form of violence in education.

Education based on the fundamentals of education are compulsory for both parents to take care of, starting with love and friendship, candor, understanding the state of their children and their problems as well as their particular conditions, that described wisely, and provide relevant clues and the road right for him. To achieve peace education (peace education), can be done by understanding the causes of violence in society, which is more familiar in the social conditions that can lead to violent behavior and violent atmosphere that is able to assess the cause of violent behavior.

Peace education (peace education) is an educational process that empowers people to be able to solve the conflict in a creative way and not in a violent manner. In this context, peace education to be strongly associated with the level of public satisfaction. The difficulty is when a creative way to make the public road is not satisfied in the resolution of conflict.

To achieve that result, the students, especially adolescents, need to get a peace education socialization, so they are accustomed to dealing with conflict by choosing a creative solution, which is why creative education need to be developed in order to grow a sense of tolerance, mutual respect, a sense of empathy for others and also foster a sense of trust self and patient attitude.

Description of materials and methods of education in peace (peace education) is as follows. First, load the peace education materials knowledge (knowledge) which includes introspective, recognition of prejudice, conflict and war, peace and non-violence, environment and ecology, nuclear and other weapons, and so forth. Second, the charge materials include peace education skills in communication, active reflective activity, and active listening, cooperation. Third, the charge material values ​​or attitudes (attitude) in peace pendididkan cover, ecological awareness, self respect, tolerance, respect for human dignity and difference with others.

Bobbi DePorter suggest the fulfillment of six atmosphere in order to generate interest, motivation and joy children to follow the teaching and learning process, among others: Growing interest in learning, establish a sense of sympathy and understanding, creating a jovial atmosphere, take risks, create a sense of belonging, show a good example .

How to cope with children who are lazy to learn

1. Looking for Information

Parents should ask the child to obtain precise information about him. Look for the right circumstances to be able to communicate openly with him. After that invite children to reveal the cause he was lazy learning. Use any such relaxed atmosphere while helping mom in the kitchen, take a walk or while playing, do not have to make a formal child can not open her problems.

2. Made a joint agreement between parent and child

A deal was made to create a state and responsibility and motivate children to learn not to impose the will of the parents. The deal was made starting from waking up to going to bed time, both in terms of hours learning routines, learning a long time, hours of study when you have homework or not, hours of study in school holiday time, what if the learning outcomes are good or bad, what reward or sanction must be accepted, and so on. Even if there are sanctions to be made or agreed upon, let the children decide as proof of responsibility to something that will be mutually agreed.

3. Creating the Discipline

It is not an easy thing to create a discipline to the child if the parents are not starting. Parents who are used to show discipline in daily life will be easily followed by his son. Parents can create the discipline of learning is being implemented consistently and continuously. Exercise of discipline can begin preparing learning tools, textbooks, school assignments reminding, asking lessons learned material, or asking the difficulties encountered in a particular subject, regardless of the presence or absence of school work.

4. Enforcing Discipline

Enforcing discipline should be done when the child begins to leave the agreements that have been agreed upon. When children do as much as possible to avoid sanctions violations that are physical (tweaked, poked, pinched, or hit). To divert use logical consequences that can be accepted by the mind of children. When can do activities together in one room while children learn, parents can while reading the newspaper, magazine, or other activities that do not interfere with the child in the room. Thus enforce discipline in children is not always the messenger or screaming while the parents perform other activities such as watching television or working in the kitchen.

5. Assertiveness Attitude

Assertiveness attitude is done by the parents no longer tolerate the abuses child does repeatedly. This attitude of firmness worn while the child is totally rejected and denied by the made-up reasons. Even with the applicable child accidentally 'dishonest' conduct activities other intentional to pass hours of study. Assertiveness is an attitude that is needed to provide the agreed sanctions and ready to accept the consequences of the offense.

6. Creating Atmosphere Study

Create a good learning atmosphere and comfortable is the responsibility of parents. At least the parents meet the needs of a learning tool, giving attention by directing and assisting children while learning. As a distraction parent can also provide educational games that are not tense atmosphere of learning and continues to attract attention.

Turns lazy learning experienced by many children due to various factors. Therefore, before the child already scored unsatisfactory and embarrassing to my parents, parents should immediately investigate the child's interest in learning and attention. In addition, the initiative fosters independent learning in children, instilling awareness and responsibility as a student in children is another useful long term. If these six steps can be applied to the child, then it should not adalagi complaints from parents about their children learning that lazy or cranky child because his parents always scolded.

Build Self Confidence

There are people who feel a sense of loss of confidence in almost all areas of his life. Could be due to the crisis itself, depression, loss of control, feeling helpless look to the future, etc.. There are people who do not feel confident with what was done. For some of us who have a problem about low self-esteem or feel has lost confidence, maybe you could make the following steps as the process of exercise:

1. Creating a positive self-definition

Steve Chandler said, "The best way to change your belief system is to change the definition of yourselves." How about creating a positive self-definition. Among the ways that we can do are:

• Creating a positive conclusion about yourself / make a positive opinion about themselves. Positive here means that could encourage or who can build rather than undermine or destroy.
• Learn to see the positive parts / advantages / strengths that we have
• Open dialogue with yourself about the positive things we can do, from the smallest and from the start we can do today.

In addition, it needs to do is stop the negative self-opinion that arise, such as I do not have any excess, my life is not precious, I just burden society, and so on. Once we stop, our task is to replace it with a positive, constructive and motivating. This requirement is only the beginning and not enough to build self-confidence.

2. Desire to fight for a positive

Next is to formulate programs / self-improvement agenda. This could take the form for example has a new target that we want to make happen or formulate positive steps we are going to do. Whether it's big or small, the point should be no change or an increase in a more positive direction. The more positive things (targets, goals or desires) that we can make happen, the stronger we are confident. We need to remember that in the end we are just going to be a better way to do something nice for us. Point. Nothing can replace this principle.

3. Troubleshooting positively

Confident can also be strengthened by providing proof to ourselves that we apparently managed to overcome the problem that afflicts us. The more problems we can solve, the stronger confident. Eventually we become people who are not easily embarrassed when faced with problems. Therefore there is a reminder, so we are used to using tactics surrender or defeat, it will be a habit that makes us often problematic.

4. Have a positive basis for the decision.

When read as a whole life of practice, there is no one who is always sure of his ability in dealing with problems or to realize the desire. Mahatma Gandhi class people who just could falter when reality suddenly changed unexpectedly. But, Gandhi had a way that we can emulate: "When I was desperate so I always remember that throughout history, the path to truth and love has always won.

The Learning Process

The learning process is a process containing a series of implementation by teachers and students on the basis of reciprocal relationships that take place in the educational situation to achieve a particular goal. Interaction or reciprocal relationship between teachers and students is a key condition for the continuity of the learning process. On the fact that we see in the schools, teachers often too active in the learning process, while students made ​​passive, so that the interaction between teachers and students in the learning process is not effective. If the learning process is dominated by the teacher, the learning effectiveness will not be achieved. To create the conditions for effective learning, teachers are required to be able to manage the learning process that provides stimulation to the students that he be willing and able to learn.

Teachers have a very important role in determining the quality of learning is done in the classroom or in the practice room and / laboratory. In connection with this assignment, the teacher should always think about how the efforts made to improve the quality of learning, such as by making learning plan carefully and prepare a number of appropriate learning tools.

This effort would require changes in the organization of classes, the use of teaching methods, learning strategies, attitudes and character of teachers in managing the learning process by acting as a facilitator that seeks to create the conditions for effective learning by increasing students' ability to listen to the lesson involves students actively , trying to attract the interest and attention of students towards learning, motivating learning, individual services (private lessons) and the use of media in teaching.

Environmentally Friendly Technologies for Future Earth

Not a few people who think that technology is only as environmentally unsound. However, such an assumption is apparently opposed by many scientists that develop environmentally friendly technology. The UN estimates that world energy demand will rise by 60 percent in 2030. It is not perhaps as much as 2.9 billion people will lack a supply of clean groundwater.

Human exploitation on a large scale the earth's natural resources can be spent very natural supply. It is not impossible that one day the earth's natural resources will be completely depleted if not wise in their usage in the present. 

Here's a list of environmentally friendly technologies that could save the future of the earth. Our mother earth's fate is in our hands.

1.Desalinasi

The UN noted, the water supply will be very limited for the billions of people in the middle of this century. There is a technology called desalination, which removes salt and minerals from sea water so drinkable. This is a solution that can be done to avert the water crisis.

The problem is, the technology is still too expensive and requires considerable energy. Now scientists are looking for a way for desalination can take place with less energy. One way is by evaporation on the water before it goes into membranes with microscopic pores

2.Thermo-depolymerization

There is a process called thermo-depolymerization, a process similar to how nature produces oil. For example, if carbon-based waste is heated and pressurized precise, capable of producing oil material. Naturally this process menbutuhkan millions of years. Of the experiment they had done before, turkey dung can produce about 600 pounds of petroleum.

3. Hydrogen Fuel

Hydrogen fuel is considered as a non-polluting alternative fuels. Energy generated from the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. The problem is how the hydrogen is produced. Molecules such as water and alcohol must be processed first to extract hydrogen that become fuel cells. This process also requires energy. But at least scientists have tried to make laptops and other devices to power a fuel cell.

4. Sun Energy

Solar energy reaches the earth is made up of photons, can be converted into electricity or heat. Some companies and housing has been successfully using this application. They use solar cells and other solar thermal energy collector as a medium.

5.Konversi Heat Sea Water

Media largest solar collector on Earth is sea water. U.S. Department of Energy (U.S.) calls, ocean to absorb solar heat energy produced is equivalent to 250 billion barrels per day Minyal. There is a technology called OTEC is capable of converting ocean thermal energy into electricity. The temperature difference between the sea surface and was able to run turbines drive the generator. The problem is, the technology is still less efficient.

6. Sea Wave Energy

Ocean covers 70 percent of the earth's surface. Huge wave of energy saving that can drive turbines that power mengasilkan. The problem is rather difficult to estimate when the ocean waves large enough to produce enough energy.

The solution is to store some of the energy when the wave is big enough. East River of New York is currently a pilot project with six turbine-powered water gelombanng. While the Portuguese actually already been practicing these technologies and successful light more than 1,500 homes.

7. Roof Plantation

The concept is inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in the list of the Seven Wonders of the World. Babylonian palace consists of a roof planted with a variety of flora, as well as a balcony and terrace. The roof garden is able to absorb heat and reduce carbon dioxide. Imagine if birds and butterflies fluttering around our green house.

8.Bioremediasi

There is a process called bioremediation, the use of microbes and plants to clean up contamination. One is cleaning the nitrate content in the water with the help of microbes.

Or use the plants to neutralize arsenic from the soil. Some native plants have turned out to cleanse the earth avail us of various pollutants.

Tips On How To Mac Book and Ipad Fixed Fast

To improve the speed performance of the iPad and Mac, here are five steps that you can apply:

1. Clean the complexity arises

Management of the bad file is the most common obstacle today. Data dianggurkan just going to "take place" and increase the burden of the hard drive. In particular, the speed performance of the device will weaken biila data consists of thousands of images and music files. You can copy your iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external hard drive, so the internal data storage space you will be more "relief".

2. Run Application Required

Do not let the diverse application and leave it open. You can close the application as needed and continue on a more mainstream applications. Multimedia and gaming applications take up a lot of RAM memory. In addition to increasing life lay the burden of memory, the battery will be drained faster.

3. Update OS

By using updated Operating System, then this will increase the quality and overall system performance. Older systems (not updated) can cause "kelemotan" which makes the device a slow pace. Update OS to be the best option to go to the new firmware version.

4. Periodic Restart Devices

iOS is designed to be run in a period of time. Thus, the system also automatically run maintenance. However, by restarting the device, it will be able to recover the RAM memory load and prevents some technical issues such as hanging or auto-restart.

5. Time Machine (Time Machine)

This is a backup system that will store the device in an emergency. This feature is set to make a deposit at certain time intervals (eg, once every hour). This feature is capable of storing RAM, and other sources. Place the Time Machine in the manual and check regularly to make backups of your own, as you want.
