OPINI: Praksis Pendidikan Minus Visi, Catatan atas ”Bongkar Pasang” Kurikulum

OPINI: Praksis Pendidikan Minus Visi, Catatan atas ”Bongkar Pasang” Kurikulum

Oleh: ST SULARTO

Perjalanan praksis (praktik dan refleksi) pendidikan selama 60 tahun Indonesia merdeka— dalam catatan ini terbatas pada pendidikan dasar dan menengah— sebenarnya jalan di tempat.

Dari kurikulum yang pertama (Kurikulum 1968) hingga yang kelima (Kurikulum 2004/Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi), ada degenerasi dalam hal tujuan utama kegiatan pendidikan. Itu antara lain terlihat dari semakin etatifnya praksis pendidikan. Praksis pendidikan semakin tidak berorientasi pada anak (psikologi perkembangan Jan Piaget), tetapi lebih pada impuls kepentingan politik praktis.

Setiap pergantian kekuasaan dinanti dengan cemas karena setiap menteri punya kegemaran mengubah kurikulum. Padahal, setiap perubahan berdampak pada praksis pendidikan. Sampul majalah Basis Juli-Agustus 2000 menggarisbawahi catatan Sindhunata di dalamnya: Pendidikan hanya menghasilkan air mata. Ilustrasinya, air mata meleleh dari kelopak mata seorang bapak yang tertusuk pensil.

Banyak pakar dan pemerhati risau. Malah ada yang menarik tali lebih panjang ke zaman setelah Jepang masuk tahun 1942 (Slamet Iman Santoso: 1976). Praksis pendidikan di Indonesia sudah rusak sejak Jepang masuk, bersambung di zaman ”rekiblik”. Berkembang mitologi tentang peran pendidikan (Winarno Surakhmad: 1990, Mochtar Buchori: 1997), yang eloknya pendidikan senantiasa dilihat sebagai solusi keterpurukan bangsa.

Riuhnya perdebatan berakhir dengan masalah dana. Kecilnya anggaran pendidikan dituding sebagai biang keladi walaupun sepanjang sejarah Indonesia merdeka belum pernah ada alokasi anggaran lebih dari 8 persen.

Kecilnya anggaran mencerminkan belum adanya good will pemerintah. Praksis pendidikan sebagai bagian dari pembangunan bangsa sekadar slogan. Pada tahun 1980-an, ketika Indonesia tumbuh pesat berkat minyak, kemauan baik itu baru ditumbuhkan pada angka nominal, tetapi belum dalam alokasi anggaran.

Pemerintahan Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono—dalam pemerintahan Megawati Soekarnoputri dicanangkan sebagai tekad—melangkah setapak. Pemerintah berjanji, bahkan membuat agenda setting, akan memenuhi alokasi ideal 20 persen pada tahun 2009. Pernyataan itu sudahlah kemajuan besar.

Masalah anggaran sebenarnya bukanlah satu-satunya masalah paling penting. Praksis pendidikan (pengajaran), sebenarnya bersumber dari adanya orientasi yang jelas, tercermin dari adanya kurikulum yang tidak gampang berubah.

Terkait politik

Kurikulum tidak bisa lepas dari politik (HAR Tilaar: 1995). Adagium pendidikan sebagai bagian dari nation and character building disadari sejak awal Indonesia merdeka, bahkan jauh sebelumnya, seperti dirintis Perguruan Tamansiswa (1922).

Empat bulan setelah merdeka, praksis pendidikan mulai dibenahi. Pada tahun 1947 terbentuk sistem persekolahan sesuai dengan UUD 1945, termasuk sekolah rakyat enam tahun. Sistem itu tidak sempat dipraktikkan dan dikembangkan. Baru pada tahun 1960 tersusun undang-undang (UU) yang menjadi payung hukum kegiatan pendidikan.

Sesuai dengan keputusan Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat Sementara (MPRS) No II/MPRS/1960 tentang manusia sosialis Indonesia, disusunlah Rumusan Induk Sistem Pendidikan Nasional berdasarkan Keputusan Presiden (Keppres) No 14 Tahun 1965. Keluar Keppres No 19 Tahun 1965 tentang pokok-pokok Sistem Pendidikan Nasional Pancasila. Jiwa kurikulum adalah gotong royong dan demokrasi terpimpin.

Menyusul hancurnya Orde Lama, keluar Ketetapan MPRS No XXVII/MPRS/1966 yang berisi tujuan pendidikan: membentuk manusia Pancasilais sejati berdasarkan ketentuan seperti Pembukaan UUD 1945. Lahirlah Kurikulum 1968, sebuah pedoman praksis pendidikan yang terstruktur pertama kali (Cony Semiawan: 1980).

Tujuan praksis pendidikan menurut Kurikulum 1968 ialah mempertinggi mental-moral budi pekerti dan memperkuat keyakinan beragama, mempertinggi kecerdasan dan keterampilan, serta membina/mengembangkan fisik yang kuat dan sehat.

Dikembangkan berbagai uji coba, mulai dari apresiasi atas kegiatan yayasan-yayasan swasta, munculnya tokoh-tokoh perintis semacam Ibu Pakasi dari Malang dengan sistem modul, atau sekolah-sekolah pembangunan yang berorientasi pada kerja (John Dewey), hingga uji coba cara belajar siswa aktif (CBSA) di Cianjur.

Sampai pada akhirnya, setelah melihat suasana liberatif, pemerintah mengambil alih kendali seluruh praksis pendidikan. Pendidikan yang dulunya liberatif dan desentralistis ditarik kembali ke semangat deliberatif dan sentralistis. Swasta tidak lagi dianggap sebagai partner, tetapi pesaing (J Drost SJ: 1984).

Ketika belum semua sekolah menggunakan Kurikulum 1975, mulai dirasakan kurikulum ini tidak bisa mengejar kemajuan pesat masyarakat. Hadirlah Kurikulum 1984, kelanjutan dari diundangkannya UU Sistem Pendidikan Nasional. UU yang dihasilkan secara terencana lewat sebuah panitia penilai—tercatat panitia serupa pernah ada tahun 1968—dengan hasil laporan CE Beeby. UU yang mengganti UU tahun 1960 itu pun diterpa kritik.

Kurikulum 1984 dianggap sarat beban, lantas muncul Kurikulum 1994 yang lebih sederhana. Lagi-lagi kepentingan politik lebih tampil ketimbang berpijak pada kebutuhan anak didik.

UU Sistem Pendidikan No 2 Tahun 1989 pun akan diganti, dan setelah lewat proses panjang baru terealisasi tahun 2003. Bersamaan pula hadir Kurikulum 2004 atau Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi (KBK), di antaranya memuat sejumlah kompetensi yang perlu dimiliki setiap lulusan.

Dalam praktik, jangankan dengan KBK, bahkan di banyak daerah masih ada sekolah yang belum sempat mempraktikkan Kurikulum 1994, memasuki tahun ajaran 2005/2006 ini kurikulum terakhir tetaplah sebagai hidden curriculum, kurikulum yang belum dipraktikkan sebagai pedoman kegiatan belajar di semua sekolah.

Terus berubah

Panorama di atas menunjukkan, praksis pendidikan negeri ini tidak pernah lekang dari ”uji coba”. Kebijakan dan kebijaksanaan gampang berubah. Kurikulum yang seharusnya tidak gampang berubah—tanpa menisbikan faktor fleksibilitas sebagai keharusan—perlu diakui praksis pendidikan selama ini minus visi.

Akibat berikutnya, banyak kebijakan yang dilakukan seolah-olah sebagai kebijakan instan dan kurang didasari atas pertimbangan pedagogis-edukatif.

Keterlibatan emosional orangtua terhadap pendidikan dihargai sebagai unsur positif. Akan tetapi, ketika keterlibatan itu lantas menjadi pedoman dan dasar keputusan politis, semakin kuat pendapat praksis pendidikan ini berjalan minus (miskin) visi.

Munculnya prestasi-prestasi gemilang anak muda di tingkat internasional, menjamurnya calon-calon peneliti muda pada era 1980-an, perlu dicatat sebagai ”mutiara-mutiara” yang tampil di tengah lumpur praksis pendidikan minus visi. Orangtua, anak didik, dan guru merasa serba gamang oleh terombang-ambingnya utak-atik uji coba.

Ke depan, yang perlu dilakukan bukanlah utak-atik kurikulum minus visi, melainkan pemikiran serius seperti pernah terjadi pada tahun 1978. Arahnya adalah pendidikan berfokus pada anak didik sebagai pusat, tanpa mengesampingkan perkembangan global yang terjadi, dengan tetap tidak meninggalkan keterampilan sebagai membangun kemampuan sekaligus berakhlak.

Catatan ”pelapukan” ini terfokus pada pendidikan dasar dan menengah karena tingkat inilah bangunan fondasi jenjang berikutnya. Tanpa itu, pada 15 tahun ke depan, ketika Indonesia merayakan usia 75 tahun, jangan-jangan bangsa dan negara ini semakin tertinggal jauh dari Vietnam, Afrika, apalagi Singapura dan Malaysia.

SOS untuk bangsa dan negara Indonesia! Ia secara kultural sebenarnya sudah menggali liang kuburnya sendiri. (Artikel ini diambil dari Kompas)

4.) At the same time, do not become very greedy and play with only as many cards as you can play with. You need to watch and mark the winning numbers in each card and there is a time gap of only ten seconds between card draws. Hence, if you are unable to manage many cards, it is a waste. You have to complete winning combination and call 'bingo' before other players to claim your prize. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free online bingo games[/url] If the second called number is say N36, probabilities of the next number not ending in 2 or 6 is more. The first six called numbers could have different digit endings. Thereafter, there could be pairing of one or more of such ending digits. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]no deposit bingo online[/url] Bingo is a fantastic game and is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of entertainment on the internet, our advice is to have fun and be safe, we wish you all the luck in the world with your bingo playing, thanks for reading.

In bingo, each player will get a sheet, which has six cards with a total of 90 numbers. On each one of these bingo cards, you will find 27 spaces grouped in 9 columns x 3 rows format. Each number is unduplicated; hence, it will not be repeated anywhere else in the sheet.

I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping was surprisingly fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

I am crazy happy about it...

The firm offers a one [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/]khuyen mai gia re[/url] for each day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance settlement using ThePoint's system: if a particular amount of men and women indicator up for the source, then the deal will get to be provided to all if the predetermined bare minimum is not reached, no a single will get the offer that operating working day. This lowers risk for retailers, who can just take care of the price cut discount codes as amount special discount rates as correctly as sales marketing assets. Groupon can make earnings by making an attempt to keep approximately 50 percent the funds the consumer pays for the coupon.

For illustration, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be purchased by the consumer for $40 through Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $40. That is, the retailer provides a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and will get about $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 value of home portray answers is obtained by the buyer for $50 by implies of Groupon, then the business will get $twenty five and Groupon keeps $twenty five. The customer will get the therapeutic therapeutic massage, or the residence portray assistance, in these examples, from the retailer for which they to start with compensated $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are distinct corporations to which Groupon at initial did not provide its providers, which involves shooting ranges and strip golf gear however, using photos ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.

In distinction to categorized advertising, the service provider does not invest any upfront price tag to consider portion: Groupon collects personal details from geared up purchasers and then contacts only individuals customers, primarily by day-to-working day electronic mail, who may potentially possibly be interested in a distinctive solution or provider.

Groupon employs a big variety of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains highlighted by e-mail and on the web web site. Groupon's advertising and marketing text for the 'deals' has been witnessed as a contributing concern to the acceptance of the website, that contains a exclusive combine of extensive fact-inspecting and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market place currently being primarily composed of lady clientele, the offers are often qualified on the nicely currently being, overall health and fitness and attractiveness marketplaces.

There are prospective difficulties with the group style. For illustration, a successful offer could swiftly swamp a very small business with also many clients, jeopardizing a probability that customers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be sufficient goods to fulfill up with the desire. Hole, a substantial apparel retailer, was completely ready to offer with 445,000 low cost codes in a countrywide deal (even though it seasoned server troubles at a single degree), but a scaled-down organization could change out to be abruptly flooded with clientele. one espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an improve in shoppers for three months, when it bought shut to one particular,000 Groupons on the a single certain day it was provided, in accordance to a solitary report. In response to equivalent concerns, Groupon officials level out that 'deal' subscriptions want to be capped in advance to a affordable quantity.
