TEKNOLOGI.........

TEKNOLOGI & INOVASI DALAM PENDIDIKAN

A. Dunia Pendidikan Konvensional Indonesia

Secara umum Dunia Pendidikan memang belum pernah benar-benar menjadi wacana yang publik di Indonesia, dalam arti dibicarakan secara luas oleh berbagai kalangan baik yang bersentuhan langsung maupun tidak langsung dengan urusan pendidikan. Namun demikian, bukan berarti bahwa permasalahan ini tidak pernah menjadi perhatian.

Upaya-upaya peningkatan kualitas mutu serta kuantitas yang membawa nama pendidikan telah dilakukan oleh pihak pemerintah, walau sampai saat ini kita belum melihat hasil dari usaha tersebut. Apabila kita melihat dari sudut pandang nasional atau alias yang umum-umum saja jadi marilah kita lihat apa yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah. Usaha yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah biasanya bersifat konstitusional demi mendapatkan lulusan dari sekolah yang kompetitif dan siap bersaing secara global, semisalkan dengan menetapkan angka batas minimal kelulusan UAN dengan nilai sebesar 4,00 dengan tidak digabung dengan poin pada ujian praktek ditambah lagi tanpa ujian praktek. Pada hal ini bukannya kita menemukan pemerintah berusaha untuk memperbaiki mutu pendidikan melainkan nampak sepertinya pemerintah hendak menjegal generasi kita.

Apabila kita amati dengan seksama, apa sebenarnya yang menjadi inti permasalahan pada dunia pendidikan, mungkin jauh lebih sulit dari menggantang asap. Berbagai hal dapat saja dipersalahkan sebagai pokok masalah yang menghambat kemajuan dunia pendidikan di Indonesia. Namun demikian, yang jelas-jelas dapat kita temukan sebagai suatu kecacatan ialah proses belajar mengajar konvensional yang mengandalkan tatap muka antara guru dan murid, dosen dengan mahasiswa, pelatih dengan peserta latihan, bagaimanapun merupakan sasaran empuk yang paling mudah menjadi sasaran bagi suara-suara kritis yang menghendaki peningkatan kualitas pada dunia pendidikan.

Ketidakefektifan adalah kata yang paling cocok untTuk sistem ini, sebab seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, pertukaran informasi menjadi semakin cepat dan instan, namun institut yang masih menggunakan sistem tradisional ini mengajar (di jenjang sekolah tinggi kita anggap memberikan informasi) dengan sangat lambat dan tidak seiring dengan perkembangan IT. Sistem konvensional ini seharusnya sudah ditinggalkan sejak ditemukannya media komunikasi multimedia. Karena sifat Internet yang dapat dihubungi setiap saat, artinya siswa dapat memanfaatkan program-program pendidikan yang disediakan di jaringan Internet kapan saja sesuai dengan waktu luang mereka sehingga kendala ruang dan waktu yang mereka hadapi untuk mencari sumber belajar dapat teratasi. Dengan perkembangan pesat di bidang teknologi telekomunikasi, multimedia, dan informasi; mendengarkan ceramah, mencatat di atas kertas sudah tentu ketinggalan jaman.

* kawan2, drpd artikel ini dapat disimpulkan bahawa penggunaan teknologi & inovasi menjadi sangat penting dalam kehidupan manusia di era ini.........

Posting 5- Summary of the articles (B)

Article 1

This article is basically about the benefits that the users could gain from concordance. Those benefits are; it could organize and manage immense volumes of litigation data and OCR text, lessen the time and cost of document review with features that import, search and organize e-mail and other electronic devices documents fastly and accurately. In addition, it could also fastly browse all types of litigation documents with power and precision where it has flexible seraching simultaneously. Other than that, it can also manage transcripts more efficiently and perform easy bulk import and export of plain text and PCF files, which retain original formatting. Last but not least, it can also produce accurately formatted, customized reports for fact review and trial preparation, including witness kits, case chronology, privilege logs, questions and answers sets, annotations, production history reports and more.

My own view
In my opinion, all those benefits that has been mentioned above could be effective and beneficial for all those individuals especially students in their learning process. It is because all the benefits are clearly stated and they are all easy to be understood by the readers.
Article 2
This article was taken from a journal. It is about some considerations concerning encoding and concoding texts. The writer inform the readers that diverse needs to be in among those who use
computers in humanities research and instruction but, it tend to have a lot of difficulties. The difficulty, of course, is that significance in one area is not necessarily significance in another. A computationally easy project may be of importance in a particular discipline and should not be assigned cavalierly to the computational hell of the "trivial." In addition, a kind of backlash in favor of computer research in the humanities are to show the largest danger--that of complacency, especially for university students where there is a substantialgroup of computing humanists. Thus, the best way for any project, as well as for this discussion of encoding and concording texts, is Wisbey's observation that it "appears sensible to adapt one's approach to the needs of a particular text, "'where it is being shown primarily by one's intimate knowledge of that text. This requires a much more flexible approach to humanistic computing than is usual. To summarize, it could be said that whatever that is in a text we want or need to encode depends in great part upon what we
wish to do. (MICHAEL J.)

My own view

As for me, based on the article, I feel that the correct and exact work in concording something, it all depends on how we organize it. If we organize in a correct manner, then it would be smooth and understandable and vice verca.
