Definition and Clarification Paragraph_Home Schooling

By miftachudin arjuna - March 09, 2015

Homeschooling is a part of education which belongs to a non formal one as stated in Article of Indonesian education system no. 20 year 2003. It is defined as a home based learning. Further, it could be single homeschooling or merged with others into community homeschooling. Actually the learning can be conducted anywhere such as in the garden, orphanage, hospital, park etc., as long as the venues can accommodate the topic of the learning materials. Basically, the curriculum is the same as that of the formal education. It provides 4 major subjects; Science, Mathematics, and Indonesian language, and English language. Nevertheless, the main difference is the existence of interest-based materials such as swimming, playing the piano, playing football, painting, etc. Students may choose more than one interest-based materials based on their aptitude and interest. In Addition, the students may start the classes when, where, with what subject they want to. In single homeschooling, the learning resources mostly come from the parents, but usually they hire private teachers for some difficult subjects such as Science and Mathematics. It is different from community homeschooling where it provides teachers like formal school. Although it sounds interesting, in practice it needs a high commitment from both parents and students to focus on the learning not the form of education
