Wisdom-to-share

Berada di tengah anak-anak kelas 3 sekolah dasar, memberikan gambaran ketika saya kecil dahulu. Beberapa anak tampak sibuk sendiri dengan kotak pinsilnya, ada yang sibuk membaca dan ada yang berbincang-bincang dengan teman-temannya. Ketika guru yang mengajar memulai pelajaran, anak-anak memusatkan perhatiannya ke ibu guru yang berdiri di depan kelas. Saya berada di dalam ruangan kelas untuk melakukan observasi proses belajar dan mengajar di kelas tersebut, duduk mengamati selama 40 menit, saya menuliskan beberapa hal di catatan saya. Sekali-kali saya melayangkan pandangan saya ke murid-murid. Terlihat ada anak yang aktif bertanya, ada yang pasif dan ada yang menghindar dari segala bentuk pertanyaaan.

Sometimes the good statements or the beautiful phases are gone with the wind if we cannot keep it. For that reason I started to write in by blogs in 2005. I chose the title of my blogs “Wisdom to share” (www.wisdom-to-share.blogspot.com). That is one of the reasons I want to write.
