Violence and aggression mostly shown in the classroom or other school area that usually students did not understand what they do is violence or aggression, even the trifling attitude such as bullying. Teachers have to aware to students’ attitude and the misbehavior they do. If the misbehavior did not take seriously, it can impact to student’s personality and their performance in the classroom; even make it unbalance their mentality.
Michael B. Greene from YCS Center for the Prevention of Violence wrote the article titled “Reducing violence and aggression in the school” in 2005. The article was discussed about four big ideas:
1.      The nature and scope of school violence
2.      Epidemiology of school-based violence
3.      Program selection and program typologies
4.      Effective planning, selection, and implementation strategies
Violence’s nature in school can be define as violence which occurs in school area: canteen, classroom, toilet, and in every situation: learning in the classroom, even when violence happened while school event and touring it categorize as school violence. It called “school-associated” (Furlong & Morrison in Greene, 2005). Violence usually begins with interpersonal violence or direct violence that occurs persons against persons. It can become more serious because the violence will not stop in the first meeting. For example: fighting between school A and B. It surely started with person to person who having problem and become school problem and other students take part in the fighting although they  even did not know the real problem between the fighters.
In the United States there were some surveys done by Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), School Crime Victimization Survey, and Monitoring the Future. The result of the survey is: the most violence or aggression occurs is in verbal, include verbal bullying and sexual harassment that did not affect physically.
Violence and aggression had been the agenda that always happened in the school. Teacher might stop this habit all over the year. According to Greene (2005), there is some prevention adapted from organizational scheme to overcome violence and aggression. (1) Security apparatuses and policies. Security must be the first way to overcome both violence and aggression. Put metal detector in the school might be the answer to prevent students bring unwanted thing such as discerning objects to injure others. The other way is making policies such as dress code, the lighting, and security camera to observe students wherever they are. (2) Peer-led programs. The existence of peer can be the solution of preventing violence and aggression. Peer meditation and peer counseling is the most use strategy used. Students will be more aware about it and try to collaborate and work together to prevent it. (3) Psychosocial and psychoeducational programs. This program is about preventing the aggression and v iole nce which focused on individual change with solve the problem of misbehavior through cooperative, prosocial, and peaceful strategy. (4) Integrated programs for selected and indicated programs. Selected program chooses for students who exhibit known risk factor. Indicate program for students who have exhibited aggression and violence behavior. This integration program has function to reinforce misbehavior students. (5) Threat assessment and crisis response strategies.
Three aspects of threat assessment and crisis response have been articulated: (a) identifying and responding to students who are experiencing emotional difficulties, (b) undertaking a systemic threat assessment when a student poses a possible risk of violence, and (c)managing violence- related crises and their aftermath (USDE in Greene, 2005).

(6) School climate-oriented strategies. School climate tells everything about how students know each other, the grow of behavior and the example of good and bad behavior might come from school climate. Students, teachers, and staffs have to have trust to each other so that students will confidence to share their thought or problems. It will make problem can be solve as soon as possible.
Planning school-based violence prevention strategies need some process to do. First, needs and assets assessment. Before the strategy use, it must be having observation to school to see the readiness and capacity of the school. It also need support by teachers and other staffs to implement the program. Second, planning group and initial planning activities. To implement the program, it needs collaborative plan between teachers, students, and staffs to prevent violence and aggression. The effort of school member is the best support of the program. Sustainability of the program must be the big attention for all school member. Third, strategy adoption. The prevention programs which adapted must be relevant with school goals and objective. When school want to adapt fighting prevention, make sure that in the school it is exist fighting behavior. Fourth, strategy implementation. Implementation of the program is the most important part of the program. The prevention program of violence and aggression usually give many changes to school climate and students behavior. Still, some did not appear the good changes. The mistake must be from the improper implementation of the program. That is why the program need support to all school members.  Last, evaluation. After the program is implemented, school have to evaluate whether it achieve the objective or not. School will get feedback from expertise’s assessment of the school program and they can fix the mistake and program since the program implemented.

In conclusion, prevention of violence and aggression is not easy task to do. School can plan and do the prevention program, but the program must be fit to school’s objective of prevention, and need support of school member. The prevention will not run well if the support of program is lack and can ruin the program that already has good objective to handle students’ behavior.

(Guess Lecture session)
Aji Nur Hakim

Last Thursday, October 16th, my Affective Education class had invited a teacher from Sekolah Cikal, Bapak Hasto. Sekolah Cikal is one of school in Indonesia that apply international curriculum within Indonesian curriculum.

Picture 1. Sekolah Cikal’a logo

This is the curriculum of Sekolah Cikal that they call it as “Cikal 5 stars competencies.”
Picture 2. Cikal 5 stars competencies

Cikal curriculum is a bit different with other school. They just learn about Mathematics, arts, Bahasa Indonesia, social studies, English, religion, world language, PSPE, technologies, and sciences. Pak Hasto itself proud that Sekolah Cikal is use international curriculum that can learn better than Indonesian curriculum itself. Even Sekolah Cikal use international curriculum, the subject of Bahasa Indonesia is still used. 

There are five issues that brought by Pak Hasto to be discussed. First, the importance of read the books. In Sekolah Cikal, everyone in school have to read a book. Why reading a book? Indonesian people tend to ignore and not doing something important like reading, whereas, reading a book is important to us. Books contain a lot of information that can be learned from that. In Sekolah Cikal, everyone have to read a book. Even the teacher and other educational sector have to. Students also have the responsibility to read a book. From low stage to high stage of school, they continued to read a book. For example Sherlock Homes book that already read in low stage until continuing to high stage. Of course the use of language is suited with the level of student’s age and stage.

Second, the importance of skills and attitudes. Everyone must agree that the objective of learning is not only the cognitive side, but also affective and psychomotor.

Picture 3. Three domain of learning according to Bloom’s Taxonomy

Skills and attitudes of students is one of affective domain that importantly have to be valued. The weakness of Indonesian education is, one of them, because of teachers just focus on cognitive domain without considering affective and psychomotor domain. That is why assesses students skills and attitudes is as important as assess cognitive domain.

Third, the importance of learn the technology. Remember that we live in the 21st century era, where every information can searched in one click. Technology era is exist around people, around students. Students can learn from internet, especially from YouTube. Students can find how to do this, how to do that, easily because of YouTube. That is important that remind us the existences of teacher can be replaced by YouTube. So that it is the work for teacher to create effective learning for students in this 21st century era, to compete with the modern era.

Fourth, the importance of learn the language. Language is important to communicate each other. Language also tools to relate people in the world. Especially English language, that become international language, so that when people come in one country they can communicate well even not speak in domain country. Learning English language is important, even it is exist in curriculum that students have to learn that. English is become popular since it can bring people to communicate to people around the world, not important where country they come. So, it is really important to studying the language.

Fifth, the importance of rubric. Rubric is needed to assess students. Without rubric, teacher will have difficulties to range students, which level that they in. Pak Hasto gave example of rubric importance. When the end of semester come and it is time to give students report to parents, they will ask teacher where the grade come. If teacher did not have rubric to range students, teacher can not answer that question. Different with teacher who prepare anything include rubric that he/she made to assess students. If parents ask, teacher will show them the rubric of achievement that their children already have. Remember, rubric is not only assess cognitive domain, but also can assess affective domain, too. There are so many example of rubric to assess affective domain. One of the example is from National Guidelines for Educating EMS Instructors (2002).




The most important that teacher should remember is to let students know the rubric so that it is fair to students what kind of assessment that they will face. To students, teacher that gives them the rubric before performing the task will help them keep the track of the objective of the learning.
Curriculum always developed to be better guide to educational system. Our new curriculum, 2013 Curriculum is actually the best curriculum up until now, because it is also considering the affective domain as the aspect of education in the classroom. However, unskilled teacher is the problem of the implementation. “Old” teacher prefer to use traditional method to teach, but it is not only traditional that 2013 curriculum needed. This is will be the big work to government to train teacher to implement 2013 curriculum.
Still remember what Pak Hasto said about curriculum and affective education, “Even we are talking about curriculum now, it is also contain about affective. Affective is the part of curriculum. That is why I really support 2013 curriculum. Curriculum and affective has the boundaries, it can not separated. It is the true objective of 2013 curriculum.” (Hasto, 2014)
