TEACHER ABILITY IN DESIGNING LEARNING DEVICES

Abstract

"Education is a struggle". This sentence is part of Ki Hadjar Dewantara's statement in his phenomenal work, the first part of education (Dewantara, 1961:165-166). When analyzed in depth, the term "struggle" which is used as the meaning of education departs from the position of the human being himself. Inherently, a human being is said to be a human being if the "facultative dimension" he has, which consists of reason, senses, and feelings is developed (see Ferguson, 1768). Ferguson's thesis gives us an understanding that the only thing that differentiates and elevates human status from other creatures is in the aspect of the development of the optional dimension or can be interpreted as education.
