How to Become Teachers Inspiring?

There is an interesting article written by management experts in the daily Kompas Rhenald Kasali publication date of August 29, 2007 with the title TEACHER CURRICULUM AND TEACHER inspiring. Kutipanya namely: "There are two types of teachers that we know that the curriculum and teachers are Inspiring teacher. Teachers' curriculum is very obedient to the curriculum and feel guilty if you can not mentransper all contents of the books assigned. It teaches something standard (habitual thinking) and the number is around 99%. While inspiring teacher jumlanya less than 1%. He is not the teachers who pursue the curriculum but invites her students to think creatively (maximum thinking). He invites his students to see things from the outside (thinking out of box), change it in the past brought back out into the wider community. Teacher curriculum managers reliable delivery, birth inspiring teacher-leaders who dare to destroy various reform old habits. "


Seeing the condition of education / school system in general in Indonesia, the teachers are shackled by administrative regulations that must be adhered to as a target the achievement of the curriculum, mastery learning, syllabus, RPP and so forth. In accordance with existing regulations that shape the implementation of education at the school stated in the form of intra-curricular and extracurricular activities. In very rare teacher intrakurikuler activities in its interactions with the students able to develop the potential they possessed. Whereas the purpose of developing comprehensive education of all students' potential through creativity and creative thinking. This shows that education has a meaning as the development of human potential. Thus the process of education in schools should not only purely cognitive aspect-oriented course or in other words, refers more to the score but also should be able to develop other values such as emotional, personality, spiritual and social. But what happens in the field, the role of teachers teaching more than educate. This means that when teachers go into classrooms then made only to deliver material in books or in other words, the curriculum is oriented (stuck on the activities of curriculum attainment targets), and is content-oriented or cognitive achievement that even far from achieving the true goal of education . While in extracurricular activities fostering and developing the potential of not getting a reasonable proportion. Though extra-curricular activities are expected to develop the potential of students beyond academic potential. Indeed extracurricular activity (read: student development) to direct and develop the potential of students for the future with vision (looking forward), has a personal order (self regulation) and have a good sense of social concern (holy social sense). How should the role of the teacher? Activities that occurred Intrakurikuler school conducted by teachers and learners was time changed their paradigm. Other approaches need to be done by the teacher when interacting in the learning process. During the time teachers put more emphasis on intellectual approach / intelgensia or just getting good grades. While living and socializing skills are not taught. A child views on the value obtained replicates itself as a whole rather than ability. This condition can encourage children to cheat or do activities that are not good because the demand numbers that values education is neglected. In my opinion there are three approaches that can be done by classroom teachers in the learning process:


1. Through Emotional Intelligence Approach

The human brain consists of two layers of epidermis is the outer layer (neo cortrex) and the middle layer (limbic system). Otal in the outer layer region, manusai-by permission of God, capable of counting, computer skills, learn English, and other complex calculations. Through the use of neo-cortex of the brain is born intelligence quotient / IQ or intellectual ability (Ary Ginanjar A: Secrets of Success Power Generating ESQ). Kecerdasa is related to the awareness of space, awareness on something that looks, and mastery of mathematics. While in the middle layer of the brain (limbic system) is located controlling human emotions and feelings that allow people flexibility in the mix, a fellow rescuer, loyal friend and responsible. This behavior is called emotional intelligence / EQ (emotional quotient) that can be interpreted a set of skills to clear the way in a world full of twists and turns of social problems. In this realm, I think, the teacher can raise the potential of their students to pursue success by developing a sense of sympathy and empathy for others, the nature of the hard work and responsibility. According to research done by psychologists are expert Steven J. Stein and Howard E. Book, that IQ is only a role in human life with the maximum amount of 20% or even only 6%. So the teacher made an emotional approach to his students when the interaction in the classroom can encourage students to succeed by not only relying on its terms of IQ alone. Emotional approach that can be done for example by always cast a positive energy on our students, tolerance of imperfection, and loving protégé wholeheartedly with the difference that they owned.

2. Through Spiritual Intelligence Approach

In this realm, this approach needs to be done by teachers is to increase the potential of students by raising the spiritual quotient in a way embed / teach the values of truth contained in religion. The foundation of spiritual intelligence is Ihsan. Ihsan is derived from husn which means something good and beautiful. In a general sense can be significantly positive, including honesty, virtue, beauty and hospitality. Ehsan in learning or work is how one can learn / work with honest and trustworthy and do things correctly, according to rules established. If God is just doing something wonderful in dealing with human creatures then demanded to do good or beauty. The result is doing good deeds as if someone sees God. I think this is what teachers can instill in each child a learner / student that every human being undertaken by us is the value of worship and as a human being should be able to benefit another human.


3. Approaches Through Social Intelligence

According to Edward L. Thondrike social intelligence (socialintelligence) is the ability to mutually understand fellow human beings and wisely in human relations. He emphasized the social intelligence of different academic abilities. Currently many accusations against the world of education where our educational products are human beings usually nudged people to maintain their interest in curriculum was to encourage people more intelligent at the same time fosters individualistic attitudes aka selfish. This lifestyle net delete attitude of cooperation, tolerance, sympathy, empathy and a noble character. Imagine if the ruler of the future is a product of such education. William Chang, a social observers call this phenomenon of human produces slow to react. Indolence react interpreted because of low social intelligence. Perhaps this is the side that can be extracted and developed by teachers on their students. It must be realized that the social background of the students vary both tribes, languages, religions, even its economic level. On the other hand humans as social beings can not live alone. Therefore it is important to develop an attitude of cooperation, tolerance, sympathy, empathy and a noble character in each of the students. Ways that can be done is to practice the 5 S (smiles, greetings, greetings, patience and gratitude). Hopefully, through this third approach, the teacher can be an inspiration for all students to be successful in life when he worked well and when he became leader.
