ORGANIZATION OF PRIMARY EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 6 (34). P. 183-189

The article is devoted to the description of the organization of the education system in the Republic of Indonesia. The authors pay special attention to the educational process in the Indonesian primary school. The relevance of this topic is due to the ambiguous attitude of society to the reforms of the Russian education system, to the role of teachers, to the subject content of the educational process, including in primary schools. We believe that the experience of foreign teachers will be useful in developing primary education programs. The law on education and the decree of the government of the Republic of Indonesia introduce standards of competence of graduates and standards of educational content for primary, secondary and senior secondary schools. In accordance with the standards of competence of graduates and the standards of educational content of the Republic of Indonesia, the article describes the basic principles of training, on the basis of which the development of three areas of competence takes place: relationships, knowledge and skills. Relevant competencies are formed through various activities related to the psychological, moral and social spheres of a child’s life. The authors consider the influence of basic age characteristics of primary school children on educational models developed and used in practice by teachers in Indonesia. The article describes the development tasks of children of primary school age in accordance with the concept of J. Haywighurst and the directions of activities of primary school teachers in the Republic of Indonesia, based on these tasks.
