Encouraging Learning Measures

             In general, people assume that the educator is a person who has a large amount of knowledge, and is obliged to distribute to others . Likewise , the subject students often perceived as being in charge of taking the information and knowledge that educators delivered . The more information they are absorbing knowledge or save the better value they get , and the greater the recognition they get as an individual yag educated .

Assumptions like this , even though it is quite old age , can not be maintained anymore . Educators function cram as much knowledge as information - banyakya to subject students and students absorb the functions of subject and aggregate information recalling that , increasingly irrelevant given that knowledge itself is something that is dynamic and not limited . In other words , knowledge - knowledge ( which in human feelings and thoughts can be collected ) are temporary and changeable , not absolute ( Goble , 1987 : 46 ) . Force -controlled and disseminated knowledge current , relatively speaking, may only serve to date, and is not for the past five to ten years into the future . Therefore , it makes little sense to subject knowledge of information cramming students , especially when it is detached from the context of meeting the needs of everyday life .

However, that does not mean the function traidisional educators to disseminate knowledge must dipupuskan at all . This function , within certain limits , should be maintained , but must be combined with social functions broader subject of helping students to integrate information that is fragmented and dispersed into a single unified philosophy . In other words, can be revealed that being an educator today means also a " mediator " in the encounter between the subject students with factual information set siege every day of their lives .

As a mediator , an educator must know where the source - specific knowledge resources and regulate the mechanisms of acquisition if at any time required by the subject didik.Dengan the knowledge of information acquisition , subject educators help students to develop the ability to react to the world around it . At this moment of action learning in the sense that sesungguhya occurs , ie, when the students learn the subject realistically assess abilities and apply them to achieve their own needs .

From the description above shows that the indicators of a successful action learning is : when subjects students have to develop their own abilities . Furthermore , when the subject of students managed to find himself; being himself . Faure (1972 ) referred to it as " learning to be" .

It is the duty of educators to create conditions conducive to the ongoing actions to learn effectively . Conditions conducive it is certainly more than just provide an explanation of the things contained in the textbook , but rather encourage , inspire , provide the motives and subjects students in an effort to help them achieve desired goals ( Whiteherington , 1982:77 ) . This is the function motivator, inspiration and a facilitator of an educator .
