Curcol tentang Kurikulum Negeri Tercinta Indonesia

Pendidikan di Indonesia tidak akan pernah lepas dengan yang namanya kurikulum. emang sich, kurikulum bisa dibilang track untuk mengatur jalannya pendidikan supaya berjalan lancar dan mencapai tujuan yang di inginkan dan direncanakan, lebih baik dan lebih bermutu dan berdaya saing internasional.

kalo melihat sejarah kurikulum pendidikan di Indonesia, negara kita tercinta ini, sudah banyak banget.
tahun 1947 Rencana Pelajaran, dirinci dalam Rencana Pelajaran Terurai.
Tahun 1964 Rencana Pendidikan Sekolah dasar
Tahun 1968 Kurikulum Sekolah Dasar
Tahun 1973 Kurikulum Proyek Perintis Sekolah Pembangunan (PPSP)
Tahun 1975 (Balik lagi) Kurikulum Sekolah Dasar
Tahun 1984 Kurikulum 1984
Tahun 1994 Kurikulum 1994
Tahun 1997 (Revisi) Kurikulum 1994
Tahun 2004 Rintisan Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi (KBK)
Tahun 2006 Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP)
dan sekarang Tahun 2013 Kurikulum 2013.
(sampai kapankah bisa bertahan?, apakah akan teraplikasikan dengan tepat?)

dari daftar kurikulum yang pernah indonesia pakai, bisa dilihat betapa tidak konsistennya Pemerintah Indonesia dalam merancang pendidikan untuk anak bangsanya. sepertinya yang muncul di kepala para pembuat kurikulum ini hanyalah kata "mumpung" dia punya jabatan kemudian menjalankan idenya dan mendapatkan proyek. akan tetapi mereka tidak berpikir apakah ini akan bertahan paling tidak 3 tahun paling lama 6 tahun. bukankah 6 tahun diperlukan seorang anak untuk lulus SD dan 3 tahun untuk SMP dan SMA. jika dalam waktu 3 tahun saja kurikulum sudah berubah, bagaimana guru sebagai ujung tombak pelaksana kurikulum di lapangan bisa memberikan dan melaksanakan kurikulum dengan benar sesuai dengan target yang diharapkan?
Bukankah sesuatu hal yang baru itu diperlukan waktu untuk mengenalkannya? untuk membiasakan?
Seperti seorang bayi yang melalui fase tengkurap, merayap, merangkak, dan berjalan tertatih tatih sebelum pada akhirnya dia dapat berlari?

Bukankah seharusnya para cendekia dan ahli ahli pendidikan perumus kurikulum untuk pendidikan bangsa ini bisa berpikir lebih ke depan. ataukah mereka lupa bahwa tidak semua orang secerdas mereka, fasilitas selengkap mereka, uang sebanyak mereka, dan akses semudah yang mereka miliki.
mereka perlu belajar lebih dari orang orang lapangan di pedalaman, supaya mereka bisa perpikir lebih rasional dan realistis.

Untuk para perumus kurikulum, mohon untuk lebih kedepan. jangan sampai digantinya menteri pendidikan berganti pula kebijakan yang ada. tidakkah kalian merasa kasihan kepada mereka anak bangsa yang kurang maksimal belajar akibat seringnya kalian rubah rubah kurikulum pendidikan untuk mereka? kepada orang tua mereka yang harus membeli buku paket yang baru lagi hanya dikarenakan kurikulum yang berubah. yang seharusnya buku sang kakak bisa digunakan sang adik. kepada kami para pendidik yang pontang panting menyesuaikan metode pembelajaran hanya untuk mengikuti hasrat kalian para perumus kurikulum? mengatur jumlah jam pelajaran untuk para guru pengajar?
Satu lagi, jika memang ingin memberikan perubahan, pastikan bahwa setiap komponen pendidikan daerah pedalaman juga mendapatkan pemberitahuan. jangan sampai yang berada di kota yang mengalami perubahan dan kemajuan.

You all, need to realize, that you all are just luck. never forget others who is unlucky as you.

Reported Speech

Reported Speech dalam bahasa Indonesia dikenal sebagai Kalimat Langsung (direct Speech) dan Kalimat tak Langsung (indirect Speech).

Reported Speech (Indirect Speech)
If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech. Therefore, you need to learn how to transform direct speech into reported speech. The structure is a little different depending on whether you want to transform a statement, question or request.
Statements

  • When transforming statements, check whether you have to change:
·         pronouns
·         present tense verbs (3rd person singular)
·         place and time expressions
·         tenses (backshift)

Pronouns

  • In reported speech, you often have to change the pronoun depending on who says what.
Example
She says, “My mum doesn’t have time today.” – She says that her mum doesn’t have time today.
Tenses
No backshift

  • Do not change the tense if the introductory clause is in Simple Present (e. g. He says). Note, however, that you might have to change the form of the present tense verb (3rd person singular).
Example
He says, “I speak English.” – He says that he speaks English.
Backshift

  • You must change the tense if the introductory clause is in Simple Past (e. g. He said). This is called backshift.
Example:
Example
He said, “I am happy.” – He said that he was happy.
Direct Speech
Indirect Speech
Simple Present
Simple Past
Present Continuos
Past Continuous
Simple Past
Past Perfect
Present Perfect
Past Perfect
Past Progresive
Past Perfect Progressive
Past Perfect Progressive
Future (going to)
Was/were going to
Future (will)
Conditional 1 (would)
Conditional 1 (would)

  • The verbs could, should, would, might, must, needn’t, ought to, used to do not normally change.
Example:
He said, “She might be right.” – He said that she might be right.
Direct Speech
Indirect Speech
today
that day
now
then
yesterday
the day before
… days ago
… days before
last week
the week before
next year
the following year
tomorrow
the next day / the following day
here
there
this
that
these
those
today
that day

Questions

When transforming questions, check whether you have to change:
  • pronouns
  • present tense verbs (3rd person singular)
  • place and time expressions
  • tenses (backshift)

Also note that you have to:
transform the question into an indirect question
Besides, note that instead of ‚that‘ you use the interrogative. If there is no interrogative, use ‚whether‘ / ‚if‘.

Direct Speech
Reported Speech
statement
He said: “She lives in London.“
He said that she lived in London
question with interrogative
He asked:“Where does she live?“
He asked where she lived.
question without interrogative               
He asked: “Does she live in London?“
He asked whether she lived in London.
He asked if she lived in London.

It is also important that you use an indirect question in reported speech, i.e. after the interrogative or ‚whether‘ / ‚if‘ you continue the sentence as if it were a statement (subject-verb etc.). The auxiliary verb ‚do‘ is not used in indirect questions.
Example:
He asked: “Where does she live?“ – He asked where she lived.

Requests

When transforming questions, check whether you have to change:
pronouns
place and time expressions
For pronouns and place / time expressions see statements in reported speech. Tenses are not relevant for requests – simply use ‚to‘ + infinite verb.
Example:
She said, “Say hello to your mum.“ – She asked me to say hello to my mum.

For negative requests, use ‚not to‘ + infinite verb.
Example:
He said, “Don’t give up, Bob.“ – He advised Bob not to give up.
Type
Example
direct speech
“Carol, speak English.“
reported speech
He told Carol to speak English.


Additional Information and Exeptions

Apart from the above mentioned basic rules, there are further aspects that you should keep in mind, for example:
main clauses connected with and / but
tense of the introductory clause
reported speech for difficult tenses
exeptions for backshift
requests with must, should, ought to and let’s

Main Clauses connected with and / but

·         If two complete main clauses are connected with ‚and‘ or ‚but‘, put ‚that‘ after the conjunction.
Example:
He said,“I saw her but she didn’t see me.“ – He said that he had seen her but that she hadn’t seen him.“

·         If the subject is left out in the second main clause (the conjunction is followed by a verb), do not use ‚that‘.
Example:
She said,“I am a nurse and work in a hospital.“ – He said that she was a nurse and worked in a hospital.“

Tense of the Introductory Clause

·         The introductory clause usually is in Past Tense.
Example:
He said that …

·         Present Tense is often used to report a conversation that is still going on, e. g. during a phone call or while reading a letter.
Example:
“I am fine.“ – Tom says / writes that he is fine.

·         The introductory clause can also be in another tense. In the following table you can see, for which tense of the introductory clause you have to use backshift in reported speech.




No Backshift
if introductory clause is in …
Backshift
if introductory clause is in …
Simple Present (He says …)
Present Perfect (He has said …)
Future I will (He will say …)
Future I going to (He is going to say …)
Simple Past (He said …)
Past Perfect (He had said …)
Future II ( He will have said …)
Conditional I (He would say …)
Conditional II (He would have said …)
Exceptions

·         Backshift of Simple Present is optional if the situation is still unchanged or if you agree with the original speaker.
Beispiel:
“Canberra is the capital of Australia.“
She said that Canberra is / was the capital of Australia.

·         Backshift of Simple Past and Past Progressive is optional if they cannot be mistakenly taken for backshift of Present Tense. So backshift is not necessary if there is a time expression indicating past.
Example:
“She left Boston on Monday.“
He said that she left / had left Boston on Monday.
·         Simple Past and Past Progressive do not normally change in sentences with when / if.
Example:
“When I was having breakfast, the telephone suddenly rang.“
She said that when she was having breakfast, the telephone suddenly rang.
Example:
“If I had more time, I would learn French.“
He said that if he had more time, he would learn French.

Requests

·         The basic rule for requests is: introductory clause + ‚to‘ + infinite verb.
Example:
“Say hello to your mum.“
She asked me to say hello to my mum.

·         Advise expressions with must, should and ought are usually reported using advise / urge.
Example:
“You must read that book.“
He advised / urged me to read that book.

·         The expression let’s is usually reported using suggest. In this case, there are various possibilities for reported speech: gerund or statement with should.
Example:
“Let’s go to the cinema.“
He suggested going to the cinema.
He suggested that we should go.to the cinema.
