Be Strong


Tuhan telah mengijinkanku untuk menikmati carut-marutnya dunia yang “diciptakan” manusia. Betapa nafsu manusia bisa menggerogoti segala keindahan dan kenyamanan kehidupan ini. Hingga parameter Tuhan pun bisa menjadi sangat fleksibel, dianggap sah untuk diputarbalikkan, dan tak jarang malah diabaikan.

Tuhan mempercayaiku untuk berdiri diantara polusi moral yang sulit dinetralisasi dengan berbekal kitab yang tak lagi menjadi pedoman inti sang penduduk bumi. Aku bahkan bukanlah remaja yang tumbuh dengan prinsip yang menancap kuat di nadiku, tapi aku tetap ditakdirkan bernafas di era ini. Aku sendiri masih seperti perahu kertas yang bisa dengan mudahnya terombang-ambing dan tenggelam dalam arus sungai yang amat lamban. Atau mungkin seperti benih bunga dandelion yang terpisah berkilo-kilo jauhnya dari sang induk, terbawa angin sepoi-sepoi.

Meskipun begitu, ku coba lalui perjalanan ini tanpa kata menyerah agar tetap ku yakin bahwa Tuhan tak akan menyesal telah menciptakanku. Ya, pernah aku jatuh sejatuh-jatuhnya hingga hampir lupa caranya untuk bangkit berdiri. Pernah aku berlari seperti ditarik ribuan kuda liar hingga hampir ku lupa untuk mengatur nafas dan kedipan mata. Aku. Aku memang harus mengalaminya. Karena mungkin beginilah cara Tuhan membiarkanku belajar sebelum akhirnya kekal di kehidupan yang sudah disiapkan nanti.

Di dunia yang katanya tak sekejam neraka dan tak seindah surga ini, mereka para terpilih memberi uluran semangat yang tak ada tandingannya. Mereka lah, yang kehidupan keluarganya tidak seperti kebanyakan keluarga lainnya, yang masa mudanya tidak seperti kebanyakan individu lainnya. Mereka yang dikasihi Tuhan untuk bertarung melawan ganasnya immoralitas manusia. Mereka yang dicintai Tuhan untuk menghadapi kerasnya dan sakitnya pengkhianatan di dunia. Dan aku bangga kepada mereka yang sanggup berhadapan dengan rasa sakit itu dengan terhormat, yang mungkin buatku, itu cukup menakutkan.

Dengar, betapa kuat dan bahagia mereka nantinya. Dan tunggu, aku akan menjadi sekuat itu. Segera.

Miserably


“People who love you when you need and ask for help to them are family.”
That’s a quote I got from Oprah show. Yeah, there are a lot of people who can help us whenever we ask them, but only a family who love to do that. Let’s reflect to what happen yesterday. Were you my family? You helped me to organize it so that my dream finally happened. But, did you love to do that? Did you help me sincerely and voluntarily? I don’t know, I can never know what the real thought on others' mind and the real feeling on others' heart when they give help.

Then, I remembered about a concept of brotherhood in Islam. Muslims with other Muslims were like a body that its parts need each other. When a Muslim is in bad condition, the other Muslim will feel the same and try to help him/her. It’s more than just an empathy or sympathy. But, did what happen to us yesterday reflect the concept of brotherhood in Islam? I don’t think so. Was it because of the system and rule of our life that you can’t help me? Was the system a boundary among us?

Well, I was hurt. Really hurt. It’s not because the boundary, but because I see the way you explain the boundary. Your statement was like a slap when I was in miserable condition. You whom I thought knowing me well and knowing how I struggled, in fact chose the boundary and neglected me who begged your help.

I think we are a family, at least we are friend. But, I face the reality that I expect you too much. We are just people who stuck on a system. It’s the *ucking system that put us on vertical line where you are higher than me. It’s ok. I know and understand where I stand and how I should behave, I just expect you too much that you can be, at least, my friend.

Motivation


In the first meeting of motivation and managing students for effective learning (MMSEL) class, my friend and I learned about definition of motivation, two types of motivation viewed from where motivation comes, and theoretical views of motivation.
From our discussion and from what my lecturer’s explanation, I conclude that motivation is psychological factor which encourage and direct individual to do or achieve something. It should be created and maintained either by the individual itself, by others, or both. Therefore, motivation can be viewed as a sustained process created to encourage individual to do what intended to do.
Motivation can come internally from the individual itself or be forced by external factor which is outside the individual. Thus, motivation, according to where it comes, can be divided into two types which are intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation can be created because of individual’s passion, curiosity, self-determination, interest, desire, dream, and so forth. Besides that, extrinsic motivation can be forced by challenge, social or economical factor, rewards, friendship, and so forth. So does in teaching and learning process, for instance, students who has interest in certain subject will intrinsically motivated to learn the subject and involve in learning and teaching activities given by the teacher. Other example, students who like being given a reward by the teacher when they do the best will extrinsically motivated to learn. They learn and perform as the best as they can because they want to get the reward.
However, I am confused whether responsibility given is extrinsic motivation and whether feeling is intrinsic motivation. Responsibility is given by other, it seems like extrinsic motivation, but if the individual itself is not responsible (intrinsic factor) she/he probably will be not motivated. Then, when individual do something because she/he is happy, is it intrinsic motivation? As we may know, feeling is intrinsic factor which affected by external factor.
There are some theories which view motivation from different perspective. First, behaviorist theory views motivation from behavior changes as a product of individual experiences in his/her environment. Individuals receive external stimuli such as rewards, punishment, etc. that make them change their behavior. It is different with social cognitive and humanistic theories that focus on intrinsic motivation. Social cognitive theory emphasizes more on intrinsic motivation like individuals’ assumption, belief and thought that make them intend and attempt to do or achieve something. Whereas, humanistic theory views individual as human being who want to grow and accomplish their personal needs. It is like what Maslow described on his theory “hierarchy of needs”. The last perspective is from socio-cultural theory. It views motivation as a need to involve in community so that every individual can support each other to maintain and accomplish their goals.
For me, as the next generation of teacher, knowing deeply about motivation is a must. As what I have write above that motivation is psychological factor. It means it is an abstract thing that we can see only from its symptoms. Teachers should be able to recognize its symptoms well so that they can convince when their students are motivated or unmotivated. Moreover teachers also need to know various ways to motivate their students and how they can design teaching and learning activity that can motivate them.

Let It Flow

Oke. Itu doang yang bisa gue ucapkan dalam hati pas gue tau kalo kerjaan yang gue kerjain semaleman ternyata Cuma berakhir di tong sampah si bos tanpa pernah gue tau sebelumnya. Hari ini, bos nyodorin sebuah proposal dan meminta gue buat edit isinya. Proposal apa lagi, gue kira. Eh ternyata mirip banget sama proposal yang waktu itu udah nyangkut di tong sampah. Gue rasa Imo yang bikin, sekertaris bos yang lain. Dia emang kerjanya cepet. Mungkin karena lebih cepet dari gue. Dan bos percaya aja sama dia. Padahal kerjaannya ternyata gak becus. Dan ujung-ujungnya, kerjaan dia yang berantakan akhirnya keluyuran juga di meja kerja gue setelah bos nyadar kalo isinya perlu editan di sana sini. Dan parahnya, apa yang pengen bos edit sebenernya udah nyaris sama dengan yang gue kerjain dulu. Kayaknya, saking bos gak percaya kerjaan gue, makanya tuh proposal nyemplung ke tong sampah tanpa sempat dia cek.

Emang sih, kerjaan gue lebih ringan karena file proposal lama itu masih tersimpan rapi di laptop butut gue. Tapi, masalahnya harga diri gue, man. Mana bisa si bos memperlakukan gue seenaknya kaya gitu di saat kerjaan gue bener. Sadis. Tapi dan tapi, gue Cuma bisa menggerutu di tulisan ini tanpa bisa ngejitak si bos yang jelas-jelas punya power yang gue gak punya—uang dan kekuasaan.

Oke. Itu lagi yang bisa gue ucap. Yang sabar aja jadi kacung. Kenapa kacung, karena tugas gue sebagai sekertaris justru jadi lebih mirip juru tulis dan juru ketik, kadang jadi juru photocopy atau juru bikin kopi si bos. Sama sekali jauh dari arti sekretaris itu sendiri yang kata dosen gue dulu berasal dari kata secret. Yang berarti sekretaris itu tukang jaga semua arsip dan rahasia perusahaan. Mungkin juga rahasia si pimpinan, termasuk rahasia hubungan gelapnya. Udah rahasia gelap pula. Dan.. karena gue Cuma dianggap kacung disini, berarti gue harusnya gak punya tanggung jawab buat jaga rahasia perusahaan ataupun orang yang satu ini, (baca si bos), meskipun ya di ID gue emang tertulis "sekretaris".

Gue pernah baca salah satu quote orang yang gue gak hafal namanya. Intinya quote itu bilang, orang lain bakal treat lu sesuai dengan gimana lu treat mereka. So, karena gue diperlakukan sebagai kacung, maka… ah, tiba-tiba pikiran jahat datang di otak gue untuk membuka kedok si bos. Tapi, gue orang yang nyantai, Cuma ngikutin arus kehidupan. Gue gak akan kurang kerjaan ngelaporin si bos ke bosnya si bos a.k.a istrinya, tentang kerjaan si bos yang lembur di hotel bareng cewek satu ke cewek lainnya. Sekali lagi, gue nyantai orangnya, let it flow. Tapi jangan salahin gue kalo istri si bos melakukan investigasi dan meminta gue jadi saksi. Kalo itu emang flow-nya, ya gue jalani. Beres.

Catatan Gak Jelasnya Joe~Ley



Kadang niat buat nulis itu datang kapan aja ya. Pas gue lagi di kamar mandi gue jadi pengen nulis. Memang bukan tulisan ilmiah kaya yang udah selama 1 tahun terakhir ini selalu menghiasi hidup gue, ini cuma tulisan biasa sebelum tidur.

Beberapa hari yang lalu profile picture fb gue ganti pake fotonya si TOP anggota big bang. Awalnya gue pikir itu gara-gara gue suka sama gaya dia di film I am Sam. Well, di film itu dia emang keren dan cowok banget menurut gue. Tapi ternyata gue salah, dia gak begitu keren sebenernya.. gue Cuma lagi.. yeah orang-orang bilang itu symptom dari penyakit galau.

Gue gak nyangka gue bisa nulis tulisan gak penting dan gak bermutu ini di saat minggu-minggu UAS yang seharusnya dan idealnya gue saat ini sudah menyelesaikan paper mini research sociolinguistics. Sebenernya gue pengen protes, kenapa gue gak bisa milih salah satu aja antara social atau linguistics. Susah men cari topic penelitian menarik (at least menurut gue) yang berhubungan sama dunia social dan linguistics. Yang bikin gue tertarik saat ini malah ranah linguistics dan psychology.

Ah udah, lupain soal unek-unek UAS itu. Balik lagi ke topic big bang dan kegalauan gue. Gue Cuma bisa jujur, gue galau gara-gara gak bisa move on setelah sebulan berpisah dengan cowo gue yang gak pernah ngakuin gue sebagai ceweknya selama 2 tahun berhubungan. Menyedihkan memang. Mungkin, nanti gue bakal tertawa terbahak-bahak atau pengen ngacir mengingat masalah ini. Menurut gue, penyakit kegalauan ini memalukan. Tapi tetep aja gue belum nemuin obat yang pas. Makanya, selama gue “diopname” gue liatin tuh si TOP sebagai obat penghilang rasa sakit. Haha, lucu memang. Kenapa orang beragama seperti gue malah lari nyari artis korea padahal seharusnya menemui dan mengeluh pada Tuhan.

Gak gampang ngelupain orang yang selalu ada di setiap hari gue selama dua tahun ini. Gak gampang ngelupain orang yang udah kaya bapak sendiri, kakak sendiri, temen maen, temen curhat, konsultan, dan segalanya buat gue. Yah, gak gampang. Dan justru karena itu gak gampang makanya itu jadi sangat memalukan buat gue. Karena itu sangat konyol.

Buat orang melankolis kaya gue, yang katanya tekun mengerjakan sesuatu dan selalu ingin mencapai hasil terbaik, kesulitan menyelesaikan hal yang konyol adalah hal yang cukup menginjak harga diri. Dan gue gak suka itu.

Di tulisan ini, gue egois banget yah.

Big Plan for Bigger Action


Well, I wanna begin writing again. Hopefully I can always write anything until the day I leave this earth. My writing is not really good, but at least my writing can be evidences how I live this life for myself.

I have a great dream, (at least for me it is very great). I have aimed to realize my dream since I studied in education field. I have studied there for two years, but my dream is still just a dream. I only aimed to realize, not took action to make it real. I took too long time in aiming and I just regretted it now. Thus, today I wanna start making my dream come true. I will start listing general plans that I have to go through.

Before I explain what the lists are, I wanna clarify what my dream is and why I need to dream it. My dream is re-building my lovely senior high school. Why should it be re-building school? And why should it be my senior high school? It is because I wanna make place where I had been “born” better.

Since I was school there, I found out many problems that my school had to face. Now, I cannot just sit down and see my school (implicitly) stop existing. Yeah, considering I am educator candidate and born from there, I need to do some “things”. I know it will be hard and force me to struggle, but I am sure I will enjoy that process.

My senior high school is really great school for me. I was taught many valuable lessons that probably I could not get anywhere else. It was not about science, math, English, or other courses. It was about how I should live this life aright.

I found many teachers who taught not for money but really want to “save” the students from the “darkness”. I found many smart students and potential good “leaders wanna be” studied there with lack of facilities. I found many precious things there that should be saved eventually before it has been too late.

Ok then, these are my General Plan…

Year
Action
2013
Evaluating the school elements
Identifying and categorizing the school’s problems
Approximating probable solution
2014
Taking and/ or finding some researches related with the school’s problem
Designing a draft of “re-built school” concept
2015
Finishing the blueprint of “re-built school”
Asking for cooperation (try to work in team)
Planning the real Action for first three years, second three years, and third three years
2016
Proposing the plan to some sides
Asking for sponsor if it is needed
Starting point of action!
Continuance
Checking progress every semester
Annual evaluation
Over three years evaluation

Just say, Bismillah then..

The Heart Reason


I do believe in God whatever some philosopher and other people who did not believe in Him said. It is probably because I see God from my perspective and my heart of heart only. So, in this article I would like to share my perspective and my heart in constructing my belief in God.
Like I said in previous essay, my God explain that, Islam is reasonable, but then reason only is not enough to believe in God. If I am not mistaken, there is a wise word in Bahasa almost like this “hati tanpa akal itu buta, akal tanpa hati sesat, hati dengan akal itu sempurna”. So, I need not only reason but also heart of heart to believe that God exists, because there are some things that are related to the existence of God that cannot be explained by human’s reason.
When Muhammad SAW got divine revelation such as Al Qur’an, some people said that he was crazy story teller. Then Allah asked defiantly to them whether they can make a text which is better than or similar with Al Qur’an. In fact, they cannot do what Allah asked them to do. It is because Al Qur’an is the real divine revelation from God, and did not come from Muhammad’s mind. As we may know, there are many scientific matter explained in Al Qur’an which at Muhammad era had not been proven such as about blood, diseases, cosmos and so on. If Al Qur’an is not a divine revelation, how the illiteracy people like Muhammad especially at that time can make this very amazing creation. So, that is one of my reasons why I believe in God.
Freud said that God is created by human illusion to solve their willies. I do agree that human need God to solve it but the “real” God Himself is not created by any one. For illustration, if people create God in their imagination so they may suit God rules with their fancy, change it or even gain control of it. Then when people can do those things, is God still omnipotent?. So, God which I believe should be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He can take care of everything (Rububiyyah), has authority and power (Mulkiyyah), and He is only the one who has rightful authority to be prayed (Uluhiyyah). For instance, if there is no God so who has created us, who is always put planets in order, who organize all process in cosmos. If there is more than one God, then there will be more than one policies and it might invite division. Another example, I believe that every single thing has been created by the supreme substance. Actually, I only need to reflect on mine, such as my blood, my skin, my eyes, and everything on, in, and around me. Those are steered by the most powerful substance that has the biggest endearment and affection. Some explanations above show that I need my heart of heart to believe that my God is really omniscient, omnipresent, has authority, and so on.
The implication of my belief is I have to endure my life like what Allah has ruled on the “straight way” which Allah has given. For instance, I have to pray and believe only to Him, and I supposed to do everything only because of Him. To do these I still need my reason and my heart. Wallahua’lam.

My Identities vs. Stereotypes




Since I was born until I was in senior high school I lived in homogeny community. I lived among Sundanese people, Muslim and grew up among Persis organization. You see, living in diversity community like I was trying since I lived in Jakarta was not an easy effort for me. There are many different ethnics, religions, and even there are many differences within Islam. I mean these differences are among organizations which are based on and act for Islam.
I do not really care about these differences, but sometimes I felt like a strange people when I do something which is not commonly done by most of them. For example, while I am doing tahiyyat in Shalat I move up and down my index finger. Most of my Muslim friends in my campus do not do that while they are doing tahiyyat. Then, some people make a judgment that “Persis member” usually move their index finger when they are doing tahiyyat. Another example, some friends considered me as a very religious person only because of I wear certain dresses. To be honest, I am really not as religious as they considered. That is a simple case that I may not be concerned about, but sometimes it bothers me when somebody asks me why I do this or that.
For some people, the label Sundanese, Muslim and Persis may be the most familiar identities of mine. So that is why I should be ready dealing with some stereotypes which have been formed in the society. For instance, some people consider sundanese person as a fussy, stingy, coward and vindictive person who like money most. Having these identities is not necessarily I should become what those stereotypes said. I have my own personality which is perhaps different with another sundanese person. Moreover, I have the ability to turn over in mind before I do something. So, I make those stereotypes as a standard. If that is a good stereotype, I should do more than what that stereotype said. Thus, if that is a bad stereotype, I should prevent myself doing that.
However, most of my friends can understand my own self no matter how stereotypes of my identities are after they know me a few days. Some of them can break up which one is part of my personality trait and which one is part of stereotype only, and so do I. I did, do and will do it to everyone. Everyone has their own personality, so do not judge them only based on the stereotype which are grew up in certain community.

Is It Enough?


As I know, there are a lot of technologies and website which can increase our writing, speaking and listening skill, but how about speaking skill? Is there any technology or website which can increase it?
Talking about technology for increasing speaking skill, I thought about ability in assessing pronunciation, communicative approach, comprehensible input & output, providing online interaction, and also I was confused how this technology makes error correction in speaking for foreign language learners. There were so many thought, weren’t there?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7mia38dd6OUspPP_1kRafOyp5ClIvZZNg57-SxAVZOa55awciSTnY9uf_RLMrZds1KKvguyBDANtGL-9_t0Lwpx9vZ_f1Rfd_H-fRAbBZPaA80jtzct7NmV6rXvmfcklb3SJQdcILZU4/s1600/speaking-at-podium1.jpg
In fact, there are many sites in internet which provide not only listening but also speaking, interacting and pronouncing exercises. Mr. Teguh shared many sites which can help internet users to increase their speaking skill. Actually I have not been really familiar with all over these sites. So, I have not known how to use them effectively even for myself and apply it in learning and teaching process. I think these kinds of site supposed to be like familiar sites for English teachers, especially English as foreign language teachers and non-native teachers.
I have read briefly a research in Hong Kong about native and non-native English teachers. The result explained that native teachers tended to emphasize fluency besides that non-native tended to emphasize accuracy. So you see that these sites can be considered as input from native speaker to improve students’ fluency in speaking. So the input may be balance.
Thus, I am still doubt whether giving input from native speaker can be effective or not to increase their pronunciation. The guest lecturer in my class said that babies above 12 months old tend to have low sensitivity in distinguishing phonics / phonemes. It is because they begin to focus on meaning. So, can foreign language learners really care about the pronunciation while they have to focus on meaning? In the other hand, how effective these sites which some of them provide interaction with native speaker increase foreign language learners’ pronunciation?
Some of you perhaps may answer, “It depends on the teacher, learning and teaching process, and the students itself”. I do not know…

My Perspective of Multiple Intelligences


I think everyone agree that multiple Intelligences are very famous in educational field. I have heard about multiple intelligences when I was a participant in new Sampoerna School of Education (SSE) students’ orientation. At that time, I and the other new students were given some questions to find out what the strongest intelligence we have. Knowing my strongest intelligence can help me recognizing more about myself and what way should do to learn well. Before the orientation I have heard a little bit about verbal, logical-mathematics, music and spatial intelligence from my psychology teacher in senior high school.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CNm-PbCyoPPUIUWdM-zGSvwHFiKiVjd-2qZoenPCAUDaUUXmtbisHWYCy4zRKOTgfgREdTTOCDmJIhkuQO-N4BM9Gy3bTBdrggiTvfndcH03cI9uQJOFTwpxvbctNNZiHdX_rCwbNzNe/s1600/multiple-intelligences.jpg

The unique thing about multiple intelligences I got when I did exhibition as Educational Psychology assignment from some lecturers. After I tell them all about multiple intelligences I knew they told me that those intelligences are related each other. One lecturer told me briefly a research about multiple intelligences. There were some students who have high capability in solving mathematic problem. Thus, when they were given some mathematics problems in narrative form, most of them could not solve those. The researchers assumed that is because of their linguistic abilities were rarely exposed. Then, after the students were given exercises related to linguistic ability they can solve those.
At another instance, I think an architect will have difficulties in designing a building if she/he only has high spatial intelligence. An architect perhaps needs logical mathematics intelligence also in measuring the dimension by operating certain mathematics formula. So, I think when someone masters in one field perhaps they are high more than one intelligence.
For me, learning about multiple intelligences makes me wiser. Talking about someone’s intelligences mean talking about how recognize him/her too. I believe that we should use some perspective when we want to judge someone ability because human is complex in every way including in intelligences. So that is why as a teacher to be I have to consider the diversity of my students to be. I have to provide some activities which can cover all of their intelligences.
To help me and my friends knowing the appropriate activity for teaching, Ms. Vera in LTM course meeting divide class into eight groups based on the strongest intelligence we have. Then each group created at least four activities related to their intelligences that can help them to learn well. We agreed that it is good to know what activity will be suitable for certain intelligence from those who are high in that intelligence.
Actually this meeting has inspired me. When I create online learning or teach in class I want to test their multiple intelligences first. It is only a simple test to make sure how the real diversity of their intelligences. I hope it will help me to arrange the appropriate learning activities for my class.

you can find out your strongest intelligence by fill this test..

MALL and Language Learning


http://media.taglab.utoronto.ca/project_images/vocab.png
Have you ever been raided by your teacher because you brought hand phone, mp3, or PDA? If your answer is yes, how did you feel? Have you ever been confused why those technologies are not permitted to be brought to school? Have you ever thought that every technology including your hand phone can be good teaching aids?
Before I got some interesting material in TLL course about CALL (Computer Assist Language Learning) and MALL (Mobile Assist Language Learning), I thought some technologies especially hand phone can interfere the learning and teaching process. So that is why I agreed the rule in school which is mention about technology prohibition during teaching and learning process in class. Thus, after I followed TLL class 6 times, my mind was changed. Like in my previous TLL posting that teacher nowadays should not isolate digital native students from technology.
http://nellisnevada.weebly.com/uploads/5/4/3/2/5432278/8686478.jpg?186

In this class we discussed about how to use hand phone, mp3, iPod, and PDA (the MALL features) in language learning. Who was know? All friends of mine were really creative. Yeah, of course I and my friend in this campus should be creative, because we are the next generation of teacher. Because we are language teacher candidate, so at that time we shared our opinion in utilizing those technologies to increase students English skill completely like reading, writing, listening and speaking.
I hope all educational universities in Indonesia have the same idea with us about using technology in teaching and learning activity, or have higher ideas from us perhaps. I mean if the Indonesian teachers have a better quality in the future I think Indonesian school will be better also.
