The Concept of Lifelong Education

That man is a creature that grows and develops . He wants to reach an optimal life . During barusaha to improve human life , both in improving and developing the knowledge , personality , and skills , consciously or unconsciously , then as long as that education still continues.

Education is a lifelong education principle suitable for the people who live in the world of transformation , and in the interplay of society such as globalization era . Every human being is required to continuously adjust itself to the new situation .

Lifelong education is the answer to the criticisms leveled at the school . School systems have traditionally had difficulty in adjusting to life changes very quickly in the last century , and can not meet the needs or human tutuntutan increased. Education in schools is limited to the level of education from childhood to adulthood , would not meet the requirements needed growing world . Ever-changing world requires a flexible system . Education must remain engaged and recognize continuous innovation .

According to the concept of lifelong education , educational activities are considered as a whole . The entire education sector is an integrated system . This concept must be adapted to the reality and needs of the communities concerned . A society that has been developed will have different needs to people who have not been developed . If the people of a nation are by and large still a lot of illiteracy, then attempt pemeberantasan illiteracy among adults receive priority in the system of lifelong education . However , in industrialized countries that have advanced rapidly , the problem of how to fill your free time will get attention in this system .

Education is not only taking place in schools . Education will begin shortly after the child's birth and will last until the man died , he was able to receive all the influences . Therefore , the education process will take place in the family , school and community .

The family is the first and main environment for the development of an individual as well as a foundation stone of the child's personality . Children's education is obtained primarily through the interaction between parent - child . In interacting with their children , parents will demonstrate certain attitudes and treatment as the realization of education for their children .

Education in schools is a continuation in the family . School is an institution where the second socialization process occurs after the family , thus affecting the child's personal and social development . Formally organized school . At school children will learn what is in life , in other words, schools should reflect the life around him . Therefore , schools should not be separated from the life and needs of the community in accordance with the development of culture. In the modern life like today , school is a must , because the demands required for the development of the child is not allowed to be served by the family . Materials provided in school is directly related to the development of children's personal , moral and religious values ​​contained , directly related to the development of science and technology , as well as skills development tertentuyang filling can be felt in the workforce .

Education in society is a form of education that was held outside of the family and the school . This form of education emphasizes on acquisition of knowledge and skills as well as practical that directly benefit the community life . Phillip H.Coombs ( Uyoh Sadulloh , 1994:65 ) suggests some form of education in society , among others : ( 1 ) Study equation for those who have never attended school or dropped out of school , (2 ) literacy program , (3 ) babysitting pre-school and child care , (4 ) farm youth groups ; ( 5 ) sport and recreation associations , and ( 6 ) skill courses .

Rick Scott insults all of Florida’s teachers... again.

Image
By placing a Teach for America hobbyist on the state board of education, Rick Scott thumbed his nose at all the hard working men and women who sacrifice so much for the state’s children. Teach for America in case you have been living under a rock takes non education majors, puts them through a five week access course and then puts them in our neediest classrooms or the exact opposite of what people call best practices.     In case you were wavering because of the pennies he recently threw the states teachers please also remember that under his watch the state stole 3 percent of teacher’s pay to balance the books, and a draconian and nonsensical teacher evaluation system was enacted.   This also continues the state's policy of not putting educators or experienced applicants in charge of education and then we wonder why we are in trouble. Shameful.

What Do You Mean by "Shared Governance?"

Image
Whatever it actually means, "shared governance" seems awfully important to the faculty, staff, and students of UW-Madison. And so I want to bring to light an exchange that the Associated Students of Madison (ASM) had with Chancellor Martin about the New Badger Partnership at the end of January. I had heard about this conversation but neglected to read the text of it until now. I think it is something students should consider carefully, and discuss at great length. How do you feel about the process and how it's unfolded? How do you feel about the style of governance employed thus far, and what it means going forward? What follows is an excerpt from the ASM "live blog" of January 24 . Beth Huang: I’ve continually heard that the partnership is not a privatization, but a way to give the university more powers. But I don’t hear much about what powers will be given to students, staff and faculty at this university. Can you give me your vision for how other players...

What Happens When You Remake Academia? Rick Hess Looks Your Way

Image
Rick Hess is an amusing guy-- witty banter, fun to have drinks with-- and always pushing buttons. I dig that, even though we rarely agree on policy issues. What I like most about him is that he takes seriously the idea that academics should bring their research to the public, and in an effort to prod that along, last year he began ranking us. He uses a set of metrics that even he admits are pretty darned flawed, but are at least an ATTEMPT in the right direction. I like it not because I'm ranked (ok, I like that too) but rather because Hess is a prominent guy doing whatever he can to provide incentives to professors to do more than what tenure requires of them. He wants us to use all 5 tools in our work--"disciplinary scholarship, policy analysis and popular writing, convening and quarterbacking collaborations, providing incisive media commentary, and speaking in the public square." And that I can appreciate. So here are the rankings this year. And here's the met...
