Penulis: Christopher Bjork

Deskripsi:
Book DescriptionIndonesian Education: Teachers, Schools, and Central Authority, the first published study of life inside Indonesian schools, explores the role that classroom teachers' behavior and locates their actions within the broader cultures of education and government in Indonesia. The book focuses on the Indonesian government's recent attempts to delegate increased power to classroom teachers. Given the highly centralized, top-previous education policy. For the first time, teachers were asked to perform as leaders rather than followers in their schools. Interestingly, most educators resisted these opportunities to increase their influence, opting instead to conform to the status quo. Indonesian Education analyzes this lack of action by local actors, and connects the stasis to deeply engrained views about the role of the Indonesian teacher within the schools, the society, and the state.

By
Arya B. Gaduh (Jakarta, Indonesia) - See all my reviews Don't get fooled by the boring cover: Indonesian Education is an enjoyable account of how history can create its own barriers to progress. To be exact, it tells a story of how school-based actors respond to central government's policy to decentralize education that began in early 1990s in Indonesia. Chris Bjork, however, uses this account to enlighten his readers of a broader story -- a puzzle, in fact -- he found during his preliminary visits, to wit, how Indonesian teachers saw their professional responsibility not, primarily, to provide instructions but instead as an executor of central government policy. Taking history as his starting point, he argues, compellingly, that given the New Order government's obsession with nation-building, teachers are "set up" to become extensions of the state apparatus. Hence, in other words, teachers become 'teacher-bureaucrats' -- emphasis often on the latter. Bjork then goes on to show how this came in conflict with the government's own plan to decentralize education as a way to improve quality. While decentralization required teachers to take initiative, the institutional culture set up by the New Order adamantly refused to allow teacher initiative and innovation back into schools. The book distills Bjork's 13-month study in the late 1990s. Despite the fact that it has that typical dissertation-like structure, it is very well written, interspersed with lots of narratives that are both interesting and engrossing. It's fun to read. Clearly, a must-read for people interested in the development of education policy in developing countries.
