The Decreasing Time Allocation for PAI in Senior High
School (SMA)
Education is an activity for personal development in aspects by each person in positive direction. The aspects are cognitive, affective, and psychomotoric.
In UU 20 year 2003 about National Education System
section 37 subsections 1, Religion Education for developed students become
man of faith to The Only God with good character. By
The existence of Religion Education in Senior High School, the students
will understand with everyone religions.
However, importance of PAI in Senior High
School exactly is judged as less important and not having an effect on achievement of students. Because of many
general lessons must be known with students. The standardization of passed, it
just by national examination without involving religion lessons. The result was taken to find of
solutions by
decreasing allocation time for PAI. The decreasing time to get
standardization of passed with be good result.
The result of decreasing allocation time of a basic PAI
placed as facultative
and non-compulsory on curricular programs. The students can be followed
religion lesson not must in the school; they can be followed in other time (extracurricular
tutorial lesson) in accord
with each religion. That make
the focus students just on national examination lessons too, because PAI
is nothing in national examination.
However, in other view, process of Learning and teaching process in
every levels of Indonesian
education institute
feels the pressure. Especially for students in Senior High School 12th
,
they
are stressed because they
are afraid of not passing in national examination lesson’s (Math, English, and
Indonesian Language).
Main of UN lesson can be
a kind of ghost for students, so in
the class their attention just focuses in UN lessons. Teachers of UN
lesson felt stressed too from students, parents, and headmaster. Over attention
of UN lesson, students can be undermind of other lessons. Then, students do
not respond to teacher. The decreasing time allocation
in other UN lessons, especially in PAI.
Students from rich family
compete for expensive extracurricular
tutorial lesson for UN lessons, because UN is
a kind of ghost for students, they
add the time allocated for that rather than decreased time allocation lessons.
