Education Seminar with Ms. Shulz & Ms. Kiehle

Recently, i'm just feel really busy and have no enough desire to chit-chat with on internet.

hahaa i got lazy..but the red devil in my head has ordering me to write this report.

chakaman,, report? ahh its too much maybe -_-"

On september 16th, i was attending the education seminar conducted by FPMIPA UPI, headed by two speakers, Barbara Schulz and Caroline Kiehle from United States.

Unfortunately i missed to take some picture of them :( hiks.

My motives attending this seminar are want to know how the education run in US; is it possible to apply their some good methods (in educating the student) in Indonesia?; Do student in US got stress when faced the exam?; are they enjoying fun learning?

Caroline share to us that in US, the education system (i mean curriculum) change about 15 years, not too rapid and there is no national standard curriculum. so, every school have their own curriculum. Its depend on their desire whether want to study biology first, then math, physics, and chemistry; or prefer to studying physics earlier than studying biology, its their decision.

Here is the main goal of US's education (that just revealed for about 3 months ago, and not all american people already know about this):

"One high priority goal for the nation is to increase the number of student graduating from universities. Majoring in Science, technology and engineering"

so that, they will have these ability:
- To have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussion on science related issue scientific and logical
- Be careful consumer of information
- And have the skilkls to enter the careers of their choice
