Building Thinking Methods
Education is the process of changing the attitude and behavior of a person or group of people in an effort to mature man through the effort of teaching and training according to the procedure of education itself.
Education is basically not just about teaching knowledge. In the case of physics, for example, it is not a matter of how the learner understands the laws of physics. Educators often fail to understand that. Their focus on the subject matter. How to deliver the subject matter. How to make children able to complete the test questions.
So, if you do not understand, memorize it. Including just memorize how to solve the problem. If soalnya, how to solve this. Replace this formula with this number, then this result.
In every lesson of natural science actually introduced the topic of the scientific method. About how the knowledge of something is obtained, how something is investigated and then concluded. Unfortunately, this section is often just a part of rote in the lesson. It is not the foundation of the next learning process.
Stages in the subject matter are basically structured to construct thinking methods. Throughout the learning period the learners are trained to go through the thinking process, trained to think, develop thinking methods. Therefore the subject matter is not just about the content of the theory, but also discusses how the theory was built. In atomic theory, for example, does not jump directly to the content of his theory, but also discusses how the history of the theory formulation.
