Lecturer behavior persuade student attitude

First of all, universities in Jakarta has low standard lecturer requirement program that influence the student’s attitudes and behavior in class. The recent scientific studies said that the process of student in studying, analyzing, training, and implementing the result of their studies are strong affected by the qualities of the lecturers. Bad lecturer’s quality, such as: petty communication, low experience, knowledge and information about the course will result in student laziness. In brief there are 2 ways to obtain positive result in studying. Firstly, lecturer should knowledgeable, lot of information obtain and provide students with high communication, teaching skills and giving them good behavior and attitudes in class to satisfy the student, help them to study well to get great result. Secondly, student has to study well, attention and responses to the lecturers kindly for a better result. Nowadays, Universities around Jakarta should take responsibility to improve their teaching program by; recruiting smart lecturers, giving them superb teaching program and reorganized the education program among universities will make positive feedback in the future. However, Universities should entertain and satisfy their student and lecturer to the education program, try to make it simple, effective and high quality skills provide for lecturers to teach the student in professionalism. Lecturers have to assimilate the courses clearness and enough teaching skills to obtain student grasp. Although universities in Jakarta has less technology than others countries, Jakarta has lot of human resources that can be competed with other cities and countries. Indonesia government must focus on the education factor. Government should improve the education program among universities, quality of the lecturer that can influence to the students attitudes. According to the government analysis per year, most collegian in Jakarta has less education quality compare to other cities and countries outside Indonesia. Lot of well education student provide by other countries to be the representative of their countries to compete on. As an Indonesian, we have to support Indonesia in education factors. Lecturer and collegian have to support each others. Lecturer should teach in professionalism and collegian must kindly attention and responses it briefly. In conclusion, lack of teaching skills will influence student laziness and spirit. By following those 2 ways above, perhaps it will acquire positive effect in teaching and learning among collegian,and lecturer in university.

Personalities of teachers and students

In teaching and learning activities,students and lectures are in charged,they play important role.Commonly,students prefer to have good qualified lectures,both in skills and personalities.Lectures who have good skills can share their knowledge to the students.However,good skills in not enough to educate the students.Personality of the lectures also give huge impacts on the students.Good personalities such as strictness,clear communication style and patience are the three most important personalities that are required to be a lecture.These will make the students to be more willing to study and interest in the subject that they learn.
College and high school students usually face difficulties to concentrate on their studies and unable to understand the lessons easily.Many studebts are affected by their friends,for example if one student start to chat during the lessons,the other students will also join him or her to chat.So they prefer to chat with their friends and do not want to listen and pay attention on the studies.The other students who want to study will be irritated with their noisy voices.Not only chatting that disturb the study periods,nowadays all of the students have technology such as mobile phones that they always bring anywhere they go,it is easying the students to send text message to their friends outside the campus and having fun with their mobile phones.Student's personality is as important as lecture's personality.Even though the classroom has a good qualified lecture,however if the students themselves do not want to pay attention,they will be not able to understand the lessons.Outside college time,students who spend most of their times for playing and hanging otu with their friends will heve less time to study.So life outside the campus also affects their studies,not only inseide the classrooms.
In the first paragraph,we have read that lectures must own three main important personalities.Being a lecture,strictness is needed because many students do not pay attention and listen to what the lecture says,they are too busy playing with themselves. So what happen when a lecture has enough strictness? The students are afraid to take the risks if they keep on playing with their mobile phones and chatting with their friends,so they can give more focus on the lessons and study more than usual.In order to help the students to catch up the lessons quickly, a lecture have to be able to explain and elaborate the lessons in a clear,detail and friendly way.This is what we call good communication style.Patience is also require,so when the students ask to be explain once agin or ask many questions,the lectures will not get irritated easily.
Communicatin also include parents.There must be a communication between lectureres and parents.So the parents are able to know their kids progress and behaviour in school or campus.The parents can give advice for their kids in order to improve their kids behaviour and studies.Lectures need feedback from the parents which contains opinions and maybe some critics.This can help to increse the student's GPA achievements.
In my personal opinion,problems of education can be solved. Lecturers have to be strict,communicative and patience while the students have to be more dilligent,pay more attention and have the willing to study.

The success and failure of a student in academic life is highly depending on many factor. One of the factors is the environment of the students. Environment can be family environment, society and technological. Therefore, family, friends, and technology can determine a success or failure to the student in their studies.

First of all, family, family environment has a very important role in a study performance of the student. One of the reasons is that a step parent which a student has can be causing an uncomfortable environment to the student who wanted to study. Because by having a step parent usually have a lot of new problem. There is also another problem in the family which is the finance. Finance is very important to the academic because we need a lot of money to be spent in order to study. So, the good family environment could help most of the studies of a student.

The second is the society environment where the student live their life in most of their times. Friends play a very important role in the student life. Friends influence a lot of way that a student lives their life. They can influence a student to success in studies in a short time. On other hand, they can also cause a lot of failure to the student. In society environment, there are also the lecturers or teacher. The student must have a good relation with the lecturers or the teacher so that if the student has any question they ask easier not only in the classroom but outside the classroom. But if the student does not have a good relation, it will lead to a bigger problem such as, failing the subject as they couldn’t understand the subject. Students must know what the benefits from the society are and they must understand what the cost that society can give them is.

The last but not the least is the technological environment which actually supports their studies but misuse it of them misuse it that can decrease their study performance. The cellphone which actually use to support the student teamwork and to communicate with lecturer to gain the knowledge but most of them use them for other purpose. The second technology that is misused is the computer which the students gain most of the knowledge from there. But they use it for playing game in most of the time. The purpose of technology was invented was to help distributing information easier but most of them use it for other purpose which is entertainment.

In brief, as time pass, there will be always a new problem that is affecting the student educations. The problem will be solved depend on how does the student face the dilemma so that it won’t affect the student. If they can’t solve it by themselves, they should consider the help from the elders.

Problem in Education

Lower level students have less choice in education

Education is related with economy, meaning that people with more money have more choices for getting a better education. Nowadays tuition fee is very high, so only rich student can afford it , in order to  get a better school. Moreover books that are one of the factors that support success of education is an expensive choice for students from lower level families. Different schools are indeed available, but still students from lower level families have less choice, because they can only choose the ones they can afford. So students from lower level families may find difficulties in getting education, especially considering tuition fee, price of books and choice of schools.

Everyone knows that tuition fees aren't cheap, but there are other expenses that make going to school even more expensive. For instance, the admission fees and extra curricular fees are really expensive. Admission fee tacked onto the bill at registration time. Students from lower level family usually obstructed to study in that school because can't afford those big amounts of money. The fees never seem to end; still there are extracurricular fees and several fees that can support teaching and learning activities in schools. Those entire amounts are really a big financial problem faced by students from lower level families.

Student needs books for supporting them in school. Moreover high quality of books is really expensive and there are so many books that needed to support teaching and learning activities in schools. There are so many big problems concerning about book needs for student from lower level families. For example, the cost of books and supplies are high.  In addition, there are all kind of special books in different languages. For example English books and books with foreign language tend to be more expensive. That is why student from lower level families can't afford those books or any other international books. Students usually have difficulties to get the books and the needs of book never seem to end.

Most of them will choose a low quality of school. This problem come because of they cant effort to pay fees structure that given by the school. And even the students have a good talent and smart he cant able to study in a best and high society school if the student don’t have money to study in that school. But moreover not high quality school can me a good student even a low quality school can make a good student too. 

Considering that tuition fee and prices of books are big problems for student from lower level families in getting better education. Therefore only rich students with much money will have more choices to choose a better school for them, while the students from lower level families may find difficulties in getting better education. In general money giving you a freedom to choose including choice of education. 

misuse of technology

Most of student around the world has education problem because of many reasons. One of their problems is the misuse of technology. Nowadays every people have technologies in their life such as television, video games, internet, handphones, and many more. Each technologies among peoples life have their own purpose, either it is for their pleasure, their aid, their guidance, and many other things. It’s not that these technologies are bad influence for the people, it’s just how the people use it that matters, especially to students. The way how students use these technologies nowadays can cause laziness and inappropriate behavior to students, causing them to earn bad score in school. That is why the misuse of technologies are counted as an education problem for students.

People say that our world is one step ahead to the future, especially with the advance technologies we had in our life, for example; the internet. This thing are created for helping us in our life, giving education, information, and many more. And with this technology, it can help students to study more because even if a student are not in a class, he can find the information from the internet without waiting to ask the teacher in the class tomorrow or even go to the library, because there aren’t much good library in Jakarta. Even if they do go to the library, it would take plenty of time to search for the right book but with internet they can get the information they want in a couple of minutes. Those are the things that people consider as an advantages, but frankly not all improvement are consider better because how you use it also matter. Internet provide many good information and education, but it also provide many other things too such as, free videos (youtube), online games, social network (facebook, twitter, etc), and many more. This is where the use comes to matter. Those innovations are counted as an advancement in internet but the problem is it attract people more, especially students rather then google or Wikipedia. With it they can have fun and fulfill their pleasure, but because of that, they will pay intention to it more than they pay intention to their education. That’s why how they use it matters because if they can’t control themselves, imagine what will they miss out on, they will start to skip class, sleep late at night, too lazy to study, and many more. And if they keep doing that, they will get bad grades for sure causing them to fail their class. Because they can’t handle themselves using the internet, they made these a priority. You can see that everyday student nowadays facebook or tweet more than they study or write, that’s is a prove that the misuse of technology has spread. But some student still can control themselves by knowing their own time and study once or twice a week, but many of them still can’t do it like others do. That’s why the misuse of technologies are a big problem in education.

In conclusion, even if technologies become more advance that doesn’t mean that it is a good sign because how we use those technologies are important. If you can’t control yourself especially to students, using these technologies such as the internet, you can suffer an education problem such as laziness, bad behavior, and many more leaving a result of bad scores on your class.

Time management have great importance to students' study success. Time management is about getting more value out of student's time and using it to improve the quality of their academic life. It teaches students how to manage their time effectively, and help them to set priorities and goals. Unfortunately, although time management is important but most of students have problems in manage their time. That's why, students usually have messy time management. Messy time management such as time wasted, lateness, and prioritizing may effect students' academic.

Time is a limited resource, there are only 24 hours in a day. Everyone gets the exact same amount of time each and every day. Most students feel like they have too much tasks to do and not enough time. Lack of time and the number of tasks are often blamed by most of students. In fact, most of them waste their time. That's why they need time management to helps & guides students use the time that they do have in better ways.

Being on time is one of the absolute basics in time management. Sadly, lateness is students' habit. Students who don't have spirit and motivation, they usually deal with lateness. It also happens when students have messy time management, they become undisciplined with themselves. Students have to avoid lateness, because it brings negative effect to students' academic performance. Students who are late tend to easily lose concentration in class, easily get panic, and unprepared.

The importance of time management in students' success also comes in the form that allows students to prioritize. Good time management know when to do what is urgent and important. Ability to identify tasks that require focus at the right time is a very important skill. When students can find out what they have to prioritized, they will actually do the tasks that needs their focus. Being efficient and effective will automatically lead them to achieve learning success.

Can be concluded that messy time management gives negative effects in students' academic. Students can learn the effects of their mess time management, and know how to deal with time, lateness, and prioritizing. So they can improve their academic performance by manage their time well.
Nowadays, one of the important things for student is have a good environment to support the process of their study especially in student’s concentration. The students must have a good concentration in order to analyze and understand the lesson or other subjects which are being taught at school. In the other hand, not all of the schools have a good environment for the student to support student’s concentration. There are several reasons of bad environment that affected student’s concentration, such as lack of cleanness, do not have a strategic location and the residence of the students. In this following paragraphs i will explain more about those three main points of bad environment.

First of all, i will explain about the environment around the school. The environment outside and inside the school must be clean so that students can learn comfortably and concentrate in doing their lesson. There are two important things that must be maintained for the environment outside the school is free from flood and garbage. We must maintain the cleanliness of the environment outside the school started from throwing the trash into the dustbin and do not throw the trash into the yard or the field especially into the ditch in the vicinity which cause the trash to pile up and it will be no water infiltration when there is a rain. Moreover, we must also consider the environment inside the school such as indoor lighting and ventilation. A good room for learn is to have adequate lighting and not hot. The school should provide an adequate light and air ventilation or air- conditioning so the room is not humid.

Secondly, the school should be in a strategic location, so the students easy to find any transportation and easy to find any foods. The students can find any foods outside the school or around the school’s area. For instance, near the bookstore and the supermarket or made-shift stall so the students will not face any difficulties in finding food hence will not be starved. Lastly, the residence of the students. The environment inside the residence must be clean and comfortable so students can concentrate in their study. In this situation comfortable in their house means the students have a good facilities for study. For instance, they have a bookshelf and study table in their room.

In conclusion, environment plays an important role in enhancing students concentration ability because a good environment give a motivation and comfort for the students to study. The school should provide a studious environment so that the students could perform better and increase the school standard.
