Liberating education is not providing many lessons to their students until he mastered many sciences. Absolutely not. Like filling empty glasses of water fill the educational task of science so that the glass is full. When you are full, it failed education. Indeed, education is thus not a model of a free education.
When this happens, students will always be the object while the teacher who becomes the subject. Pupils have never asked what he needed and loved, but the education continues to provide what is judged necessary by the students is important. Pupils want to or not, like it or not, must accept and undergo the process of education provided by the educator or educational institution attended.
Liberating education is education provided to students in accordance with the development and potential of the students in order to grow and develop into an independent human. Indeed, only a free man can feel the happiness in life. This is essential in a free education. Language extreme, the result of a free education is better to be simple workers who are happy rather than scholars who always restless in his life.
Thus, noting the potential possessed by the students is something that should not be left in a free education. This is where really needed an educator who observant and can read at the same time the needs of potential possessed by every child protege. Thus, an educator can give what is needed by students in accordance with what they need. Indeed, students are not robots who are ready to be anything after going through the process of education.
Understanding the above, it is not only important for educators and those who engaged in the world of education. However, it is also important for every parent. There was a very loving child when the biological sciences in high school. The children want to continue studying at the department and faculty in accordance with the biological sciences. However, his father is an engineering graduate insisted that her son continue studying in the faculty of engineering. Thus, the child who does not want a child accused of disobedience to parents finally could only obey the wishes of the father.
At college, the boy who really did not like the faculty of engineering, can not learn well. This happens because the child does not have a love and passion for learning science techniques. When you have this, who actually is a victim? Many years the boy forced himself to learn the real science that he did not like it.
After struggling desperately complete college in engineering, the child was eventually passed with a value that is not so satisfactory. Already selesaikah suffering of the child? Apparently not. After graduating from the faculty of engineering, the children are forced by parents to work in an institution where his father worked there as an undergraduate engineering. Again, the child who previously has expressed disagreement with his father could only cry and eventually obey the will of the father a hard-nosed. Be the child working in an agency that really does not fit with the choice and its ideals.
Dear Readers, the story of the boy who forced his father to go to college and even to work in accordance with the will of their parents above all not just an illustration of this paper is lifted from an imaginary story. Indeed, the authors get the story straight from the child who has been working in an agency, which once again, outside keinginannnya. This is what the author intended not to place in our education.
Parents do get a mandate from God to educate their children to be good and righteous in Him. However, it does not mean can act arbitrarily according to the will of its own without hearing what the wishes of the child. Similarly with education, which in this case is a formal education in schools. Education institutions that are trusted by these people should also be able to find what is the wishes and aspirations of learners so as to develop education has collected with great enthusiasm and excitement with their students.
If education is still impose their students as empty glass, which will be filled in accordance with whatever the will of the people who serve and have policies in education, it will only result in human beings that are far from independent. They are printed only human to become industry players in the world of capitalism or the diverse interests of existing power.
In the education that is not free, students have never seen as a person who has the option and ability to be creative. Pupils regarded as an object that is ready to accept the passive line of argument of knowledge from a teacher. When you have this, then understanding, comprehension, and awareness of science provided a teacher to his student is not important anymore. The hallmark of this kind of education usually teaches his students to memorize rather than understand, the choice of closed rather than an essay, or copy and record than membahasakannya back in a way or let alone a new understanding.
Of course we do not want a model of education as such. We want a free education so that students can become more enlightened human beings. In a free education really appreciate the process rather than educational outcomes. Processes that occur in education undertaken with full awareness in order to gain an understanding of science is far more important than rote memorization would-science theory.
When referring to the thinking Freire, education is free education that fosters critical awareness that encourages students to have the ability to interpret the depth of the real problems in life. If it is so, according to Freire, education is also free to build the confidence students to address the situation that occurred. Therefore, in the educational process is considered more important than the outcome itself.
Thus, education is not equal to fill the empty glass students with meaningful science education that students appreciate how important the process. The process of learning is defined as the movement of a certain level of consciousness to a higher level of consciousness. It is important for students who undergo the process of learning to be more easily understand what is being learned, practiced, and has the attitude when faced with problems.
