Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another.

Etymologically, the word education is derived from educare (Latin) “bring up”, which is related to educere “bring out”, “bring forth what is within”, “bring out potential” and ducere, “to lead”.

Teachers in educational institutions direct the education of students and might draw on many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. This process is sometimes called schooling when referring to the education of teaching only a certain subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher learning. There is also education in fields for those who want specific vocational skills, such as those required to be a pilot. In addition there is an array of education possible at the informal level, such as in museums and libraries, with the Internet and in life experience. Many non-traditional education options are now available and continue to evolve.

A right to education has been created and recognized by some jurisdictions: since 1952, Article 2 of the first Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights obliges all signatory parties to guarantee the right to education. At world level, the United Nations’ International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 guarantees this right under its Article 13.

Schools must embrace mobile technology

edsaa — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:14:04 +0000

The need for schools to
prepare for 21st century
learning was top of the
agenda at this year’s
BETT conference.
They must embrace
mobile technologies,
games, podcasts and
social networking,
according to leading
educationalist Professor
Stephen Heppell.
Schools should also break
away from traditional
classroom and curriculum
models, he argued.
The gap between those
schools embracing
technology and those not
is getting bigger, he said.
Prof Heppell was
speaking to delegates at
BETT, the world’s biggest
educational technology
show.
Technology revolution
Meanwhile the UK’s
minister for Schools and
Families Vernon Coaker
reiterated the
government’s
commitment to putting
technology at the heart
of the school curriculum.
“Teachers need access to
innovative services. We
must prepare pupils for
the future workplace,”
said Mr Coaker.
“Cutting edge
technology is the
cornerstone of our
reforms,” he added.
The UK’s Building Schools
for the Future
programme will see
every state secondary
school in England rebuilt
or remodelled over the
next 15 – 20 years.
But in that timeframe
there could be a big
divide between schools,
thinks Professor Heppell.
“There is a gap between
the schools that are
doing pioneering stuff
and those simply doing a
shiny version of 19th
century teaching,” he
said.
Cells and bells
Much of the debate in
the conference centred
around how technology
can be seamlessly
integrated into the
curriculum.
For Professor Heppell,
who advises governments
around the world about
technology policies, the
answer is both radical
and simple.
He thinks schools need to
move away from what he
terms “cells and bells”.
“We have to get away
from the 35 minute
timetable blocks. We
need to reconfigure
schools for a week of
immersion in numeracy
and dress the school for
a learning production,”
he said.
“We need much longer
blocks of time and to
allow children to be in
charge of their learning,”
he added.
One of the ways to do
this is to integrate the
tools that children are
using in their lives
outside of the classroom.
Skyping infants
At Lampton Secondary
School in Hounslow, play
is a significant part of
the school ethos and
children were at the
conference
demonstrating how
games consoles such as
the Wii and GPS devices
can be integrated into
the classroom.
Meanwhile at Cleveland
Junior School in
Redbridge, Year 6 pupils
have been busy designing
their own computer
games.
“We made a storyline
and introduced
characters and designed
the
backgrounds,”explained
11-year-old Rezwana.
“More schools should use
the software because
you can put your own
personal thoughts into
the game,” added
classmate Pawan, also
aged 11.
The games the children
made were sent to a
nearby infant school
where Year 2 pupils
played them and
suggested improvements
via Skype.
But not all schools are so
keen to embrace
technology. Many still
ban the use of mobile
phones and social
networking sites such as
Facebook.
Turned off devices equals
turned off children
Professor Heppell
“Turned off devices
equals turned off
children. Sensible schools
use mobile technology to
their advantage, putting
up a telephone number
about an issue such as
bullying and getting
pupils to text their
views,” said Prof Heppell.
Teachers may be more
willing to embrace
technology but the
resources are not there
to back them up, a
survey from Intel has
found.
Intel, which has ploughed
£1bn into educational
programmes around the
world over the last
decade, asked 2,700
teachers from 15
countries about
technology in their
schools.
While 98% felt that
technology was critical in
preparing pupils for the
workforce, three
quarters also thought
governments were not
doing enough.
70% of teachers thought
children should be
provided with a personal
laptop but only 3% had
such access.
Home access
“The worst thing you can
do is give a child a
computer without access
to the internet,” said Lila
Ibrahim, general
manager of Intel’s
emerging markets
platform group.
In the UK the
government has just
launched a new scheme
dubbed Home Access to
offer both internet
connectivity and
hardware to 270,000
families on low incomes
by March of next year.
Eligible families need to
apply for a grant and
they will receive £500 to
put towards kit and
connectivity from a
range of suppliers.
The fact that families are
in charge of what kit
they get should mean it
is more successful than
previous schemes, thinks
Stephen Crowne, chief
executive of Becta, a
government agency that
is co-ordinating the
project.
Chris Green was one of
the pilot familes who
trialled the scheme in
Suffolk.
She has seen big
improvements in her son,
Colin.
“He uses it for homework
and I can access the
school website. I
wouldn’t be without it,”
she said.
Colin is about to take his
GCSEs and is thinking
about further education,
something he would not
have contemplated a
year ago.
But not everyone is
convinced the Home
Access scheme is the
answer.
Home access is necessary
but not sufficient. You
can’t just parachute
technology in
Professor Heppell
“Home access is
necessary but not
sufficient. You can’t just
parachute technology
in,” said Prof Heppell.
“We haven’t done a
great job helping mums
with how to help their
children read and we
need to make sure that
we help them with
computers.
“Unless that happens it
will be nice to get a
laptop but it doesn’t
begin to solve the
problem,” he added.
Schools too need to
adapt or they will find
more pupils rejecting the
current educational
system, he warned.
“Put ‘virtual schools’ into
Google and you get
387,000 references.
Children in the future
will have choices about
where and how they
learn and if schools
aren’t enticing, pupils
won’t come.”

Dang Gedunai

edsaa — Thu, 07 May 2009 04:15:31 +0000

Long time ago in Riau, lived a kid named Dang Gedunai. He lived with his mother. Dang Gedunai was a stubborn kid. His mother was sad. Dang Gedunai was her only child but he never made her happy. One day, Dang Gedunai went to the river to catch some fish. “Mother, I want to go to the river. I want to go fishing,” said Dang Gedunai to his mother. “It’s cloudy outside. Rain will soon fall. Why don’t you just stay at home?” said his mother. As always Dang Gedunai ignored her. He then went to the river.
It was very cloudy when he arrived at the river. Soon it was drizzling, but Dang Gedunai was still busy fishing. Later rain fell down heavily. Dang Gedunai finally gave up. However right before he left, he saw something shining in the river. It was a very big egg. Dang Gedunai then brought the egg home.
His mother was surprised to see him brought a big egg. “What egg is that? Where did you find it?” she asked. “I found it in the river, Mother,” replied Dang Gedunai. “Be careful with the egg. It’s not yours. You should return it,” advised his mother. As always, Dang Gedunai ignored his mother’s advice. He planned to eat the egg even though his mother said not to.
In the morning, his mother was ready to go to the paddy field. Again, she advised Dang Gedunai to put the egg back to the river. Dang Gedunai did not say anything. When his mother left the house, he immediately boiled the egg. Then he ate it. It was so delicious. He was so full and suddenly he fell asleep. He had a dream. A giant dragon came to him in his dream. “Human, you stole my egg! For the punishment, you will become a dragon.”
Dang Gedunai woke up with fear. He was sweating. He felt very thirsty. Later his mother went home. She saw her son panicking. “What happened?” she asked. “I don’t know, Mother. Suddenly I feel very thirsty. My throat is like burning,” said Dang Gedunai. His mother then gave him a glass of water. It’s not enough. He drank another glass, and then another glass until there was not any water left in the house. His mother told him to go the pond. Dang Gedunai drank all the water until the pond was dried. But it was not enough. Then they went to the river.
Again it was not enough. Dang Gedunai knew his dream would come true. He would become a dragon. “Mother, please forgive me. I ignored you. I ate the egg. It was a dragon’s egg. I will change to a dragon. I cannot live with you anymore. I will live in the sea. If you see big waves in the sea, that means I’m eating. But if the waves are calmed, then it means I’m sleeping,” said Dang Gedunai.
Then Dang Gedunai left his mother. He headed for the sea. His mother couldn’t do anything to stop him. She just cried. Until now fishermen don’t want to go fishing in the sea when the waves are big. They know that the dragon is eating. They just wait until the dragon is finished eating and the waves are calmed.

Timun Mas

edsaa — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:16:42 +0000

Long time ago, lived an old women named Mbok Sirni. She lived by herself because her husband had long passed away and she had no children. Every day, she prayed so God would give her a child. One night, when she was praying, a giant passed her house and heard her pray. “I can give you a child on one condition,” the giant said to Mbok Sirni, “You must give the child back to me when it is six years old.” Mbok Sirni was so happy; she did not think about the risk of losing the child later and agreed to take the giant’s offer. The giant then gave her a bunch of cucumber seeds. “Plant it around your house.” The giant then left without saying anything else. In the morning, Mbok Sirni planted the seeds. The seeds grew within mere days, and blossomed plentifully.Not longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. Carefully, Mbok Sirni plucked the golden cucumber and carried it home. With caution and care, she sliced the cucumber. She was very surprised to see a beautiful baby girl inside the cucumber. She then named the baby Timun Emas (it means Golden Cucumber).
Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a lovely and beautiful little girl. She was also smart and kind. Mbok Sirni loved her very much. But she kept thinking about the time the giant would take Timun Emas away from her. One night, Mbok Sirni had a dream. In order to save Timun Emas from the giant, she had to meet the holy man who lived in Mount Gundul. The next morning, Mbok Sirni took leave of Timun Emas to go to Mount Gundul. The holy man then gave her four little bags, each one containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. “Timun Emas can use these to protect herself,” said the holy man to Mbok Sirni.
A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Sirni about her promise. “Mbok Sirni! Where is Timun Emas?” shouted the giant. “My daughter, take these bag with you. It can save you from the giant. Now, run through the back door,” said Mbok Sirni. But the giant saw Timun Emas running to the woods. The giant was angry. Starved and enraged, he rushed toward Timun Emas. Mbok Sirni tried to stop him, but the giant was unstoppable.
The giant was getting closer and closer, so Timun Emas opened the first bag she got from Mbok Sirni. Inside the bag were cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds, and instantly they grew into large cucumber field. But the giant ate them all, giving him more strength. As the giant was getting close, Timun Emas took the second bag with needles inside and spilled the content behind her. The needles turned into bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giant’s body was scratched and bled. “Aaargh, I’ll get you, Timun Emas!” shouted the giant as he tried to get himself out from the bamboo field. He made it and still chasing Timun Emas.
Timun Emas then reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the salt touched turned into a deep sea. The giant almost drown and had to swim to cross the sea. After some time, he managed to get out from the water. Timun Emas saw the giant coming, so she reached for the last bag. She took the shrimp paste and threw it. The shrimp paste became a big swamp of boiling mud. The giant was trapped in the middle of the swamp. The mud slowly but surely drowned him. Helpless, he roared out, “Help! Heeeeelp…!” Then the giant drown and died. Timun Mas then immediately went home. Since then, Timun Emas and Mbok Sirni live happily ever after.
