If taken literally, reality-based education is education that refers to the fact that occur within the scope of such education. This means that anything that is available in it, would be better if utilized to the fullest. "Whatever" here of course includes many things, like the education process that can not be separated from the educational components that include the subject of education, educational objects, as well as facilities and infrastructure?
Let's examine one by one. Given a little about the state of education in Indonesia, we will find at least a lot of schools and universities that are competing to add some facilities to support their teaching and learning process. Finally, the school would not hesitate to burden the student by adding fees to them. The device is the school thinking that this is normal, look at other schools, even they think that increasing the amount of administrative costs is not the worst compared with the other. Meanwhile, on the part of students, school fees are passed over onto them is quite expensive. From here we can also very common for a lot of Indonesian people who are not educated to the fullest. If you have this, what would their response about the rumors that said that "education is only for people with money", or "education is a business"?
Now we continue with a question. Is the growing number of school administrative costs, the quality of the teaching staff will also be increasing? In a teaching-learning process, teachers or teacher plays a very important for the achievement of the educational process. The teachers are really qualified would have a precise strategy to deal with students who have the talent and level of intelligence that is different. Submission of material without practice is like the Adam without the Eve. Zero! Material less, practice more. With practice, students will experience, and through all five senses experience they will work optimally. This ensures they are to keep in mind the core material from which they had learned earlier. "Experience is the best teacher." Agree?
After discussing some issues on education, would be better if we link between expectations and reality of the education process in Indonesia. Has the reality of our education in line with expectations? The best answer may not be, because indeed our hope is for the purpose of education can be achieved. And when examined more deeply, the main purpose of education is that students are actively developing the potential for him to have the spiritual power of religion, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and the skills needed themselves and society. When viewed from the aim, the educational process will not be separated from the synergy between schools, families, and society. So far, the three elements is not running correctly. This was proved by still many students who drowned in drugs, sex, and the brawl at a great cost.
Talking about the problems of education in Indonesia is not going to be endless. But need to remember is that we do not have to chase success in other schools if it is still a lot of resources not fully utilized in the school itself. Comparative studies are necessary, but more important is to focus on the object of education is the students themselves. The name of a school or university is not judged by the magnificent school buildings, nor of the high cost of administration, or any number of students, but visits from the school and the university's ability to print a graduate of a strong faith, morals, and excellent performance that is ready to plunge in the community.
