Modern Education - an English-Instructional-Technology Reflection



·         In modern education, the learner is the center of instruction
·         The teacher and syllabus are only facilitative elements of instruction
·         The learning process in school is simulated the real life in society.

Assumptions about modern education (Kemp, 1977: 4) are described below.

1. More individualized approach to learning
The teacher pays attention to each student who has different character and interest in the class gets the appropriate instructional attention and treatment by teachers.

2. Learner’s active participation
In modern school, teaching process is run with the learners being active the instructional activities. The teacher also must provide techniques so that the students can be interestedly active in instructional activities.

3. Positive attitudes toward the learner
Different student has different potency to develop. A teacher has to look at the positive sides of the students, so that the potency of which each student has can be developed maximally.

4. Effective utilization of media
The modern school does not mean that it is equipped with compli­cated electronic instruments and other such sophisticated accessories. The teacher has to be able to utilize the media, even if it is a non-sophisticated media, well.

5. Flexible process elements
The process elements in an instructional system (interaction, student, teacher, subject material, assessment, etc.) may be related to the teaching material and activities.
In modern education the classroom is not seen as the one and only source of learning. The modern teacher makes use a large variety of venues to facilitate students’ learning.

6. Involvement of the school in the society life
A modern school should have something to do with their surroundings (society). Learning teaching processes are designed and conducted in such a way that they include the society problems in it.
