Peer Teaching

Peer Teaching is a learning method that are trendy right now. Even in PLPG Teacher Certification will be one of the material. Peer teaching is a method that makes the students do not get bored, while the teachers did not feel bored. Here are excerpts Peer teaching material which I quoted from the findings prepared by the class action Suntusia, S.Pd. Good insight into materials for training teachers who will had a PLPG.

Peer Teaching in Indonesian or better known as peer tutors, there are some experts who examined this issue among others, is the Edward L. Dejnozken and David E. Coupling in the sense of American Education Encyclopedia mentions peer tutors are as follows: Peer Tutor is a procedure to teach students other students. The first type are teachers and learners of the same age. The second type is the teacher who was older than the learner. Another type of exchange sometimes raised the age of teachers. Muntasir in programmed instruction book suggests that the Tutor works as a handyman or the executor of teaching, way of teaching has been prepared specifically and in detail.

Another function is the presence of peer tutor students who are less active as aktf because no longer embarrassed to ask questions and to voice opinions freely, as expressed by M. Saleh Muntasir that the interaction between the tutor with his pupils that they can realize what is buried deep in his heart, and imagination.

Thus, the system of teaching by peer tutors will assist students who are less able or less quick to accept the lessons of his teacher. Peer tutors for student activities is an activity that is rich in the actual experience is the need of the student. Tutor or ditutori equally benefited, the tutor will get the experience, being a ditutori be more creative in their lessons. Some opinions on the above, and the author's experience in the field, convinced me to apply the peer tutor in the learning KKPI. It seems easier for students to issue an opinion or thought and trouble to his own rather than to teachers, students are more shy and embarrassed. This is possible because some students have formed their own language, behavior, feelings and questions that can be accepted by all students. While peer assessment is an assessment of students' activities by the tutor, of course with the criteria that had been predetermined.

Children's level of intelligence is inherited from the mother?

Have you heard the suggestion "a smart look for a wife in order to have a child who is smart because intelligence is derived from a mother". However, you must be confused and wondering, is how the intelligence was inherited from the mother? whether intelligence can be improved? and what affect intelligence?

To answer these questions, the following descriptions that might be your reference.

Is Intelligence Inherited?
Towards the end of 1997, a scientist announced that he had found a gene on chromosome 6 intelligence. The average person has a specific sequence in the gene they will be, but the children are intelligent with an IQ of 160 who examined him has a somewhat different sequence of the gene IGF2R TSB. Robert Plomin discovery was soon mired in controversy. There's not much debate that took place in the history of science as powerful as the debate over intelligence. Intelligence with IQ test parameters themselves are controversial. In the late 1990s, many scientists introduced another intelligence: emotional, spiritual, quotience adversity, etc.. One expert, Howard Gardner, and even has defined nine different types of intelligences, including visual intelligence, verbal intelligence, musical intelligence, wit and even athletics. This latter study it seems more fair. Said Mozart, Hemingway, or Zidane is more stupid than the Newton, is now going to sound pretty silly.
Another study conducted Thomas Bouchard. Started th 1979, he assembled a separate twin pairs from around the world and test their personality and IQ. Unexpected results of this study is the correlation between adopted children who grew up with turned out to zero. That is, there is no influence of family upbringing on IQ. If not family farm, then what determines the IQ? The answer is the role of a mother's womb! According to another study, the influence of events occurring in utero to the intelligence of a three times greater than anything done by the parents after the baby is born.
The conclusion to be drawn from earlier studies is, this time according to Ridley, that roughly half of the IQ we have gained through inheritance, and less than 20% came from the family farm. The rest came from the womb, school, and peers. Inheritance as children's IQ portion of approximately 45%, whereas in the late teens up to 75%. In line with the growth, the child gradually express their innate intelligence and leave earlier influences that infused others. Finally, although legitimate proven that intelligence is inherited, inheritance does not mean that can not be changed. Innate intelligence plays an important role, as the influence of environmental care can not be underestimated. Take the baby from a couple of quantum mechanics professor and doctorate in molecular biology, and then enlarging it in the Middle of Nowhere, a place where children suffering from diseas and other negative things. and wait until seventeen years later we will prove the conclusion of Ridley.

Who's More Involved in Bequeath Intelligence in Children?
Genetic factors influence a mother is the intelligence of children. According to geneticists from UMC Nijmegen Netherlands Dr Ben Hamel "The influence was so great because of the intelligence level of someone associated with the X chromosome from the mother".
Therefore, intelligent women who gave birth to a child who has great potential too smart. "Thus, it is better to have an intelligent mothers than fathers who are intelligent," said Hamel. However, genetic disorders of the mother can also pass along to their children, including mental retardation.
Under normal circumstances, every human being has 23 pairs of chromosomes consisting of 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes. There are 23 chromosomes come from the mother called XX and 23 pairs of chromosomes from the father again called the XY chromosomes.
Chromosome from the father and mother will be joining the event of fertilization, the encounter between sperm and egg cells that would generate the zygote. Under normal circumstances, the zygote will perform a mitotic cell division so that each cell in the human body will carry the same genetic information.
The brain is said to have the ability to function optimally if Kreativ and innovative thinking at the right time. To get the brain cells to function optimally, in addition to genetic factors, are also influenced by nutritional intake, and external stimulation.
Genetically inherited from either parent, nutrition and stimulation from the outside depends on how we meet the nutritional needs of children, and caring for children, whether the game, the interaction of parents and children. Educational games and a lot of creativity inviting children would be better for brain development is complete. Intelligence so that in fact it is the accumulation of genetic, nutritional supply and stimulation. With the sense that although parents have good genetics, but she is not given good food and without it intellect is stimulated it will not appear perfect.
How A Mother Important Role in Children's Inheritance Intelligence?
How can a mother be a determinant of children's intelligence? Perhaps this question will sound less beautiful ears of men because it is basically a child born out of a meeting between the sperm (male) and ovum (female) through the process of fertilization in which after the fertilization process, the two gamete cells will be merged into one and form a zygote then divides into morula, blastula, gastrula, and differentiate into small living in the uterus which is called a fetus (fetus).
Ovum is a gamete cell consisting of a complete cell nucleus and cytoplasm with the organelles that will play a role in the process of cell division and multiplication. Gametes are sperm cells made up of the head and tail with the cell nucleus that contain mitochondria as a conduit of energy for sperm movement. As explained previously that 14 hours after fertilization the sperm tail containing the mitochondria will be removed and discarded, ovum and sperm cell nuclei would fuse into one, forming a new cell (zygote) 2n. Zygote nucleus is a combination of sperm and ovum nucleus and cytoplasm while the cell organelles derived from the ovum cell organelles. From this description it can be seen that the percentage is greater than the role of ovum sperm in the next cell division activity.
This is where the mother role in determining the beginning of intelligence, namely through the mitochondria. Interestingly, mitochondria are inherited only by mothers, not fathers. Therefore, the mitochondria from the egg rather than sperm cells (as listed earlier). In every human cell there is a very strategic organelles function. These organelles called mitochondria. Hollow oval organelles, membranes composed of two layers of membrane, the membrane bulging into the cavity (matrix), and contains many respiratory enzymes. The main task of mitochondria is to produce the body's chemical called ATP (adenosine tri phosphate). The reaction of the ATP energy that is the source of energy for humans. Mitochondria are semiautonomous because 40 percent of the proteins and enzymes produced by the genes. Mitochondria are one-one part of a cell's own DNA, the rest of the gene resulting in the cell nucleus. That's why a mother's investment in the child reaches 75 percent.
In conclusion, based on the description of the 3 questions above. In theory, the intelligence of children may be strongly influenced by the intelligence of a mother. However, the phenotype (appearance) that we see is not merely the result of genetic factors but also the result of interaction with the environment.
What about you? Are you interested in finding a wife in the hope that smart your kids are also smart in the future. But the important thing is how will the way you educate your children to have good character and noble manners. Is not that the more mainstream 

Realize the dream of children starts at home

Happy to see the kids healthy, smart and funny. Behavior and his adorable often makes parents feel amazed, delighted and happy. Children with all the advantages and disadvantages to living in a family to be colored. Its presence can make parents become more enthusiastic about life. Children gave more energy to the parents in achieving their dreams and hopes, can live happier and better in the future.

Realizing dreams and hopes through the child would need a good accompaniment. Action since he was little respect for the child is an effort to create a good personality. Honoring a young child as well as adults to respect their parents can cultivate good qualities, humble and confident. Humble nature of the child will grow up through the behavior of his parents, as the older people still respect even to small children. Children to be confident as always appreciated parents' positive action.

Respect the child can be done by pledging to use the language both spoken and polite, calling the child as well, say thank you when your child help or do something good, say sorry when parents make mistakes, do not yell, scold or even beat when he did a mistake.

Independent child, humble, confident, responsible, good moral and discipline is the hope of all parents and everyone's dream. To that end, the Prophet advised parents to always respect and help the child. The trick is to accept even a small business, to forgive his mistake, do not burden him with a heavy load and did not scold him with a curse that hurt him (Quraish Shihab: 2007).

How Sweet is Dreaming

Every man in this world would ever dream of.

Dreams are expectations that bind our interest on something.

Unfortunately, from many people who never dreamed of, only a few of them can able to realize his dream.

Well, how come? So the dream was difficult to achieve it? Want to know the answer?

The answer is quite simple, "a winner when he dreamed that he would soon wake up to realize his dreams while a loser when he dreamed he would continue his sleep."

So if you want to fulfill every dream you have, get up with a winner mentally.

Just face it and enjoy the process you have to pass the time after him.

But if you just went to sleep for the sake of continuing a lost dream, to dream whenever anything as beautiful as it will always be only a dream and never become real.

Is simple isn't?

Unfortunately, few people are able to do so.

Development of instructional media in Education

Each of the students who do not have the same sensory capabilities, both driving and eyesight, as well as his ability to speak. There are sources of good or happy reading, others prefer to listen to a new first reading, and vice versa. With a variety of media usage, senses weakness which each such students, teachers can begin to speak first, then write on the board, followed by a look at a concrete example. With such variation may provide sensory stimulation to the students. With all these variations will collaborate to create nature education in the classroom will be better and interesting. There will be no boredom in the classroom.

 
In planning a study to note a number of requirements. Teachers must consider not only the requirements of the task, but also the requirements of students and groups where they work in the study and participated therein.

The development here is the development of instructional media that interact directly to students, teachers and schools. There are three components in the use of media, the media view, the media heard and tactile media.

When teachers in using the media varies from one medium into another medium of learning, or teaching materials from one to the other different materials, will require a lot of sense protégé adjustment, keeps the attention of students to be higher, given the motivation to learn, encourage thinking and enhance learning ability.

Therefore, the boredom of the students in the class will be wiped out when a teacher has a many-different variations in the methods and media in the present study are in learning. Here's understanding of the media view, the media heard and tactile media that is in use by teachers in educational technology in the classroom.

Teaching Style Variations

Personal form of fun student teachers in the learning process is not easy. Professionalism of teachers in the classroom teaching is still much to be said there are less capable. Such a thing could happen due to one of them is in dealing with student or class, the teacher can not control it. When broken down again turns in teaching the teachers variations in teaching is still low, monotonous style of teaching is done. Thus do not be surprised if students are not enthusiastic about taking lessons.Among the variations are minimal it is the variation in teaching, the variation in student and teacher interaction patterns in a variety of media and learning tools. While the variation in teaching include:v Soundv Emphasis (focusing)Is the way the teacher to focusv Provision of time (pausing) A play for attarct the attention of the students with pauses. Contact view An eye on the students in average teacher to give the impression of a sympathetic and friendly, as if the pupils to talk to.v Expression countenance. This expression can also be called a teacher with a facial expression, can know the state teachers and students whether serious or not. This expression such as smiling, raising eyebrows and so on in this way what was delivered orally was more effective. Movement of limbs (gesturing)Variations associated with the teaching of a teacher is usually strongly associated with the style of character. Teaching style that has a style that made sense at the time of teachers teaching in the classroom. In this case also include fast or slow steps carried out in the street through lessons or in other words more or less materials given by teachers on teaching time. 

However, to do a variation of this teaching should be based on principles of teaching are:v To use a variation of skills should be all kinds of variations are used. In addition there should be a variation of the use of components for each type of variation in all of them to achieve learning objectives.v Using a smooth and continuous variation so that the moment the whole learning process is not broken, the attention of students and not interrupt .using process variation component must be fully structured and planned by the teacher. Because it requires the use of a flexible fit with less spontaneous feedback received by students. Usually the feedback form is:• The feedback concerning the behavior of the student's attention and order.• Feedback information about knowledge and learning.Conducted variations of the students taught by teachers without a purpose or activity is not the purpose. The objective of teaching variations are:v Develop and maintain attention to the relevance of learning Tools for students. Provide opportunities for the proper functioning of the possibility of motivation. Establish a positive attitude toward teachers and schoolv To give the possibility to learn undividual fasilitasa nd choicev Encourage students to learn.

Know Your Child Talent & Potential

A few decades ago, the intelligence of children has always been associated with academic intelligence. Children are considered intelligent if they were never absent entry in the top three ranking in its class.
No wonder the parents are competing to spur children to have higher academic skills than their peers. However, it is not like that anymore. A person's intelligence is no longer taken into account only in terms of academics.
Those who have the advantage of non-academic fields began to get a place. Moreover, many examples of people who succeeded because of its ability in the field of non-academic. For example, from the field of sports has a lot of young athletes that the name of his own nation This of course makes the parents are no longer looking at her from the side of academic intelligence alone.
Parents who can see his abilities in other areas began to realize and no longer force myself to her baby to be the most intelligent child in the classroom. Similarly, the development of academic intelligence, non-academic intelligence should begin to be developed as early as possible in children.
To that end, parents must recognize what exactly is talent and potential that lies within her baby. By knowing the talent and potential of their children early, parents will be easier to steer so that children can explore their talents and potential early on. Therefore, recognizing the talents of children early will dig deeper into the potential of a child.
Good nutrition, the environment is full of excitement and democratic parents an opportunity for the birth of gifted children. But if our children are gifted? What traits, characteristics? How to recognize it? Below are some tips for recognizing the talent of your child: 

1. Do you own or your spouse talented? Is there one or more brother / sister / brother in law you are talking earlier than when under the age of three years? Could point the way to go home with ease? Have a sharp memory of the image? If yes, then it will decrease the tendency for your kids too.
2. Overly sensitive weepy, sentimental, irritable, easily awakened from sound sleep due to the mediocre are baseline characteristics of gifted children. Even children are exposed to irritation from the clothing label on the neck or in connection thick socks, children's talent show.
3. Have the IQ test score above 125 is one of the existing talent in your child. Only requires a separate test to find real talent. Moreover, IQ tests can not be done for children under 9 years of age because it will not be accurate.
4. In everyday life, the child has the characteristics of attention, very observant, meticulous in its early stages are out of line, showing great curiosity, a sharp memory, focus for a long time, easy to learn with just a little repetition and can give reasons strong for all actions and words.
5. In language acquisition, children who are gifted tend to be more advanced vocabulary than children's peers, start reading activities at an early age, always ask, "What if ...." or "Why is not .....". He also showed the ability to read quickly and reach a broad topic.
6. Emotionally and socially, the child is interested in topics that are not common, such as what death is, where people after death, why people die rot and others. In sensitivity, children are usually very sensitive and easily provoked to physical activity outdoors.
7. Such children also have a good sense of humor, even to the level can laugh at yourself, just like adults. He is also usually a perfectionist, wants all composed, and finished with a perfect pattern. Such children are always full of energy, not easily tired, and easy to adjust and close to the adults.
8. He can think abstractly, for example kekeluargaannya complex relationships such as cousins ​​or brothers or parents of my grandmother. In short that is not directly related to him, it was abstract. He could also understand the time frame in the past and future, for example, "When dad was a kid ...".
9. He was able to draw, or build something with complex and unusual patterns, such as by medium blocks, crayons, watercolors, drawings, sand, clay and so on.
10. There are clear differences between the gifted and intelligent children. Gifted children tend to be bored, likes to play, do not like to learn because it already knows the answer, and even too critical to question the answers that already exist. Smart kids love to learn, listen well, to answer the question properly, give attention and love are the same age range.

Gifted children tend to be rebellious, somewhat lazy, selfish wants, like questioning the establishment, do not like to learn, excel in a multiple choice test because he tends to guess, but he was also critical of himself.
Keep in mind that gifted child or children must be smart not closely related to success in life. If any students, so he could be a smart and talented criminal.
In the schools, gifted children tend to be overlooked or not identified because they are usually violent maker, ran thither, and tend to be lazy with school standards are generally classed as a child who can not afford school.
Quite often, they say, dwarf teacher as a bad boy, would-be criminals, baseball will pass, not the next grade, and so forth.
The things that are socially just further alienate them from the school. In addition, children from poorer social classes and children from minority groups in race, ethnicity and religion usually do not qualify for gifted children in the screening carried out in schools. That's because schools generally look for children who sit quietly, sitting in the front seat and not denied his master.
