Why not every school in Tangerang implementing Sekolah Penggerak Curriculum?

Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Nadiem Makarim has launched the Merdeka Belajar program, one of the programs is Sekolah Penggerak Curriculum on February 1, 2021. This program has not been fully implemented evenly in every school in Indonesia. Essentially, Sekolah Penggerak Curriculum focuses on student self-development and the application of the Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Not only that, but this curriculum also helps develop student skills such as project-based learning. In addition to students, teachers also get the opportunity to innovate by changing learning strategies in order to achieve maximum results. One of the schools in Sepatan, Tangerang, is not implementing this new curriculum program. According to Muhammad Nurul Alam who is one of the educators there, the school has not met the standards to implement it. “I personally want this school to implement it. However, looking at the conditions in schools for facilities, human resources, and the environment is not supported yet,” he says. He says “One of the obstacles in human resources is that teachers are not ready to use technologies. In addition, the environment is also very influential. However, not only in the school environment but also in the family. Many parents of the students here do not really care about their children's educational facilities. For example, out of 30 students in a class, only a few have adequate facilities.” To be able to implement this program, there needs to be a relationship between the school and the family of the student. Meanwhile, at this school, the students tend to come from lower-middle families so they do not have the learning support. Therefore, this becomes one of the considerations if the school wants to implement the Sekolah Penggerak Curriculum. Essentially, to develop a curriculum, it is necessary to have a relationship between several parties. The Sekolah Penggerak Curriculum can be implemented with careful preparation and support from several factors including the environment, facilities, and human resources. Without supporting factors, it is difficult for schools to carry out curriculum development.

My Learning strategies 

First, I pay attention to the presenter of group 6 in zoom meeting. After that I read the paper and PowerPoint. I ask one of the member about things that I still don’t understand. After I know the answer, once again I read the paper till I quite understand about the material.

 

Synopsis 

(Your thoughts: What you learned)

In the paper of Writing a Personality Profile and a News Feature states that, News that already has leads will be easy to develop. Therefore, we can start the writing process by paying attention to the structure of the news. Starting from one argument to another, one data to another. Everything must be interconnected and related.

Reflection 

(Your feelings: What you will do differently next time)

Interpretation

For me, the most useful information is, in writing a personality profile, there are seven tips for producing great profiles: take the time to know your subject, watch your subject in action, show the good, the bad, and the ugly, talk to people who know your subject, avoid factual overload, avoid chronologies, and make a point about your subject. Before I thought I don’t need to do that to writing a personality profile. But now I realize those things are important.

Synopsis 

(Your thoughts: What you learned)

In the paper of Feature Writing: Feature Leads, Bodies, and Conclusions states that, Complex sentences and/or ideas need to be followed by shorter, sharper sentences. Sometimes it's necessary to reinforce or restate a complex or verbose idea in a more concise form. For example: The president said at the meeting that “media practitioners often act in an autonomous, amoral and irregular manner'. Journalists, in other words, are a bad lot." Pace is also important, and sometimes a writer will punctuate the flow of a piece with a short staccato sentence to maximize dramatic impact.

(Your thoughts: What you learned)

In the paper of (Background) Research: Investigative Reporting and Other Methods in News-Gathering they states, before composing questions to ask during an interview, it is often necessary to do some background research, either on the topic to be discussed or on the person you are about to interview. This may involve reading previously published articles on the topic or concerning the interviewee, looking up biographies of the interviewee or searching for information on the Internet. It often means asking questions of people who know something about the topic or the interview just to get background information.

Reflection 

(Your feelings: What you will do differently next time)

Interpretation

For me, the most useful experience was knowing about investigative reporting. Investigative journalism is a form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single topic of interest, such as serious crimes, political corruption, or corporate wrongdoing. By knowing that, I have more interest to such those things. Especially in Indonesia when the corruptor being treat like they are doing nothing bad. I still not fine with that. I hope there more justice, so people thinks to corrupt not doing what they are thinking by seeing how bad the corruptor will be treat.

For me, the most useful experience was knowing that using 5W+1H in interview can make the interviewee open up to us. Before, I thought we can just ask the interviewee not by using 5W+1H. but when we using that, it will more make interview going well and can find the answer better.

For me, the most useful experience was knowing there is types of news, which are soft and hard. Before, I thought there is no kinds or such a thing like that in news. Also, I just know that there is a news that not straightforward and strict, it called Soft News. I think Soft News is for when we want to read some news but not too heavy like Hard News. But my brain still like don’t want to see news like Soft News, because in my brain news must be like a Hard News. But I guess, now I need to take that fact, I can’t be like that.

Synopsis 

(Your thoughts: What you learned)

In their paper of group 1 “A matter of facts: The News Values and Elements”, states that Journalists are always on the look-out for strong stories that are in the public interest. Their knowledge of news values will enable them to select stories that can boost their circulation or media ratings. Those responsible for deciding the news agenda are sometimes called “gatekeepers”. Gatekeeping takes place at many levels – the newspaper or broadcast station’s owner, its editor and senior journalists. Lower down the hierarchy, reporters will also exercise similar judgements when they choose who to interview and what parts of their reply should be included in their report.

Reflection 

(Your feelings: What you will do differently next time)

Interpretation

For me, thing that I don’t know before was the fact that to become a Journalist we need to always keeping up with what happen really quick. That make me realize that I can’t just be sitting here not pay attention with what is going on. Before, I’m typical human that really enjoy my bed and just be lazy all the time. Now I realize I need to be more excited and aware of what is happening around me. Especially now I’m on semester 6, I can’t be lazy anymore.

(Journalism, Brian Duignan, say There were four important factors in this trend: (1) the increasing organization of working journalists, (2) specialized education for journalism, (3) a growing literature dealing with the history, problems, and techniques of mass communication, and (4) an increasing sense of social responsibility on the part of journalists.)

Reflection 

(Your feelings: What you will do differently next time)

Interpretation

For me, the most useful experience was knowing the definition of Journalism itself. I have developed my understanding of the history of Journalism. Having discussed the history of Journalism I now realise that even many years ago Journalism already existed. This knowledge is essential to me in the workplace because I know the background story of Journalism. Because I have not yet confident with talking to strangers I will now need to try more confident and brave. Previously, I did not notice that become a Journalist was not easy. Alternatively, this might be related to the knowledge that I didn’t have before. This is similar to when I felt really lazy to learn more because I felt like I didn’t need to learning about that. Like history things this reveals there is a lot of amazing people out there.

SHANGHAI LOCKDOWN: WHOLE COMMUNITIES RELOCATED IN ANTO-COVID DRIVE

Shanghai lockdown: Whole communities relocated in anti-Covid drive.

An official notice from local Communist Party officials in an area in the north of the city details orders to transfer residents to quarantine facilities more than 100 miles (160km) away (April 16, 2022)

The plan is to move people from their homes in Pingwang to the neighbouring province of Zhejiang, where they will stay for at least a week. Young children, the elderly and those with disabilities could be excluded, according to the notice.

It said only those who tested negative could go - it's not clear why people with negative tests are being moved. Officials are under great pressure to cut the risk of transmission and reduce cases to zero.

It comes just days after authorities moved people out of their homes and evacuated much of the population in another area of Shanghai.

At least 1,000 people were forced to leave the small town of Beicai and move to temporary accommodation so officials could disinfect the area on the outskirts of the Pudong area in the east of the city.

An official notice issued to residents told them to pack their belongings and leave their wardrobe doors open. They were also told to leave open the front door of their home. Images on social media of people queuing with packed suitcases at night-time showed the scale of the operation.

The notice from the town's Epidemic Prevention Office also included this order: "You cannot bring your pets with you during this evacuation, but we will arrange for them to be taken care of."

It's a renewed sign of the extreme lengths to which China is willing to go to stop the spread of Covid in Shanghai, which has recorded about 400,000 cases during this outbreak. Most of the city's 25 million population remain under a strict lockdown which is now in its fourth week.

This week officials in the city have recorded 17 people who died after contracting Covid. Nearly all were elderly, unvaccinated residents with underlying health problems.
