The Differences Between Education in Indonesia and America

The education system in Indonesia and America is very much different, where Indonesia is more concerned with the final results than the learning process and America is more concerned with a process because if the process is good, it will get good results as well.
Some of us may be confused about the difference between the education system in Indonesia and America. What is the difference? Here I will discuss in a little more detail the differences in education systems between the two. Indonesia and America have quite noticeable differences in education systems. The difference between the two is that in America they emphasize more on learning directly in the field, in contrast to Indonesia which uses more material in each of their learnings. If we recall that from elementary school (SD) to High School (SMA) we were always taught more using the material, the material also sometimes exceeds the capacity of our brain to digest it. Unlike the case with Americans, why do they use learning by practicing techniques? Because basically learning with hands-on practice makes it easier to remember it and it is more effective than memorizing theories alone. In Indonesia, there is still a difference between science and social studies majors, which makes students only able to choose one of the two, but in America, they are free to choose what subjects they are interested in. The method used by the State in America can make a student understand where his skills are.
In Indonesia, we often find that students are reluctant to ask their teachers during class hours because they do not want to be stamped stupidly, ignorantly, or sluggishly by other friends who already understand. They prefer to ask what he doesn't understand his teacher's role outside of class hours. Unlike the case in America, the country always makes a Q&A session at the end of the day after all the material is explained in order to make students more active, increase communication between students and teachers, and train students' self-confidence. The students there are also active in asking about what he does not know because students in the country have great curiosity.
In America, there is no fixation on the value that exists on the report card to see his cleverness. To get rid of the cleverness there they look more at the child's way of explaining and exploring something, all focusing on the process because if the process is messy, the result will also be messy. In this country, no National Examination (UN) is applied to guarantee graduation. However, in Indonesia, the National Examination (UN) is actually a benchmark for graduation. In Indonesia, it also sees the report card score as a benchmark for whether the child is smart or not which contains students and depression because they have to achieve a minimum score equivalent to the standardization that is in accordance with what is determined by the government.
In addition to the final result, the large number of class hours that are followed makes a student unable to digest properly the subject matter presented or all the information provided because the brain is already hot and it is difficult to remember it in detail. Meanwhile, in America, the materials given are only in the form of important points and will focus on theory.
In America, the teacher who comes is more disciplined than his student. The teacher is dating early, if the teacher is unable to attend to teach then the school has been looking for a replacement to teach. So, there is no term for responsive hours of learning PDA. Unlike the case in Indonesia, where sometimes the teachers are not present and the school/teacher concerned does not prepare a substitute teacher to teach, in Indonesia, there is the term empty hours.
In America, there is no such thing as a class difference or class division system that contains smart and ordinary children or is associated with superior classes and classes that consist of students whose level of intelligence is ordinary. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, there is a division of superior classes and non-superior classes that make indirectly distinguish the parapet between smart and ordinary students. Indeed, this method aims to make focus on the smart child, but psychologically those who occupy the purple and non-superior classes are created. There will be a sense of awkwardness and awkwardness from students or students who are placed in these two types of classes. In America the hours of study for things that reek of theory are very limited because they apply more to practice, as I explained earlier. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, more hours are spent explaining the material. The student orientation period (MOS) is an introduction at the beginning of entering a school or a university in Indonesia, these activities are usually dominated to carry out new Shivas by for example wearing plastic tops or bags, wearing clothes of different colors, they say the goal is to train to be mentally and physically strong before entering a school or university. If in Indonesia like that the introduction, outside America, is actually done in a more positive way, new students or students will be invited to go around and take part in several seminars and also studies aga they are more familiar with campuses and schools, there is also the provision of information related to everything provided. It is undeniable that education in America is much better than in Indonesia. In Indonesia, we know elementary and middle school compulsory education, in America the opportunity to obtain education for all citizens has long been enforced. Compulsory education in the U.S. starts from elementary to high school. But the government has budgeted tuition fees from kindergarten to high school for state schools. For private schools, the central and local governments do not provide any budget and on the contrary, even those schools do not require to follow all government policies in the field of education. So, those are some of the differences in the education system in Indonesia and America.
