A. Education curriculum Mathematics in Japan


In Japan, education is compulsory at the elementary and lower secondary levels. Most
students attend public schools through the lower secondary level, but private education is popular
at the upper secondary and university levels. Education prior to elementary school is provided at
kindergartens and day-care centers. Public and private day-care centers take children from under
age one on up to five years old. The programmes for those children aged 35 resemble those at
kindergartens. The academic year starts from April and ends in March, having summer vacation
in August and winter vacation in the end of December to the beginning of January. Also, there
are few days of holidays between academic years. The period of academic year is same all
through elementary level to higher educations nationwide.
1. Primary School
Primary education in Japan covers grades seven, eight, and nine; children are generally
between the ages of 13 and 15. Teachers often majored in the subjects they taught, and
more than 80% graduated from a four-year college. Classes are large, with thirty-eight
students per class on average, and each class is assigned a homeroom teacher who
doubles as counselor. Unlike kindergarten students, primary school students have
different teachers for different subjects. The teacher, however, rather than the students,
moves to a new room for each fifty- or forty-five-minute period.
Instruction in primary schools tends to rely on the lecture method. Teachers also
use other media, such as television and radio, and there is some laboratory work. The
Junior High School curriculum covers Japan language, social studies, mathematics,
science, music, fine arts, health, and physical education. All students are also exposed to
industrial arts and homemaking. Moral education and special activities continue to
receive attention. Most students also participate in one of a range of school clubs that
occupy them until around 6pm most weekdays (including weekends and often before
school as well), as part of an effort to address juvenile delinquency.
While in elementary school, the nature of the Japan curriculum is similar to
Indonesia. Different subjects may be just a little more. At the class level 1 and 2, given
2

the lessons of life habits. That is about how to meet, discipline, learn to queue etc. The
goal is to introduce and familiarize students in independent living patterns. Compared to
teaching science or social studies, Japan more emphasis on the procedure of daily life to
the students elementary school students. Because in kindergarten, they are more focused
on playing rather than learning activities in the classroom.
In elementary school, such as learning the Japan language and calculate given
more than any other subject. As for the moral education not specifically granted, but
teaches homeroom hour a week, or sometimes passed through other subjects. Own
moral education including religious education. And in addition to the academic lessons,
music lessons and drawing are also given.
2. Junior High School
In junior high school, the curriculum pressing on the Japan language,
mathematics, science and social studies. While foreign languages such as English was
not actually required until 2002. The existence of elective subjects like music, art,
physical education, skill is one difference between the curriculum Indonesia and Japan.
3. High school
The most common type of upper-secondary school has a full-time, general
program that offered academic courses for students preparing for higher education as
well as technical and vocational courses for students expecting to find employment after
graduation. More than 70% of upper-secondary school students were enrolled in the
general academic program in the late 1980s. A small number of schools offer part-time
programs, evening courses, or correspondence education. The first-year programs for
students in both academic and commercial courses are similar. They include basic
academic courses, such asJapan language, English, mathematics, and science. In uppersecondary school, differences in ability are first publicly acknowledged, and course
content and course selection are far more individualized in the second year. However,
there is a core of academic material throughout all programs. While the high school
curriculum is the most frequently changed in Japan. Since there are many things that
can not be optimally applied in schools. In the end only protests from many quarters. In
Japan, the students visited historic sites, plantations to learn farming. In addition
3

interspersed also interviews with various sources that later will be the presentation to
the class.
Levels of education in Japan the same as in Indonesia, namely by using a 6-3-3 system (6
years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school) and
Universities. Education Elementary and junior high schools are classified as Compulsory
Education and High School classified as Educational Board. Compulsory Education in Japan
conducted by the principle of providing full access for all children to education for 9 years for
free, and requires parents to send children (defined in the Fundamental Law of Education).
Free of charge learning in Japanese schools contained in gakusyuushidouyouryo (
). This document contains a complete description of the purpose of learning in school, course
material,

education

and

activities

with

the

school.

Gakusyuushidouyouryou can be regarded as minimum standards that must be achieved by the


school -school country ( ), public schools ( ) and private schools ().
Gakusyuushidouyouryou first issued in 1947, coinciding with the birth of the Education Act in
Japan. Curriculum renewal in Japan takes place every 10 years. In Japan the curriculum drawn
up by a special committee under the control of the Ministry of Education (MEXT). Curriculum
Commission consists of representatives of the Teacher Union, practitioners and education
experts, representatives from industry, and representatives of MEXT.

B. Overview of Mathematics Curriculum in Japan


The Japan curriculum is world famous. It is demanding and rigorous. Students are
expected to know more about another country than an average native of that country. Primary
school starts at the age of six and lasts for six years. Then they move on to three years of lower
secondary school followed by three years of senior secondary or six years of vocational school.
Education mathematics in Japan have a curriculum. The purpose of kurikuler in education
the mathematics that is to provide the students with various and diverse experience that will
increase their ability to think in logical and creative. Time to learn how to teach mathematics in
Japan more little if compared with in Indonesia. Book lessons mathematics in The Japan use
4

photos of natural places, things and other things that have relativity with the contents or the
lessons presented in the book.
Curriculum mathematics policy the Japan have a purpose learn a little bit more of
Indonesia. Until most of the students are Japan have enough time to absorb and comprehend each
lesson. They even had enough time to doing works of the hands and activities other fun but
stimulating in learning mathematics. Student Japan learn to enjoy mathematics and have the
ability to link their lessons in real-life situations.
In the curriculum of 1971 is a curriculum that is very loaded material while schools in
Japan just not enough good in terms of the facility or ability of teachers. Until the curriculum
such too damning and less work. Hence came the idea to give education is more concerned with
the ubiquity of time and space. That's the mentioned yutorikyouiku. The number of hours of
education elementary school per year decreases a total of 36 hours, and Junior High School total
of 385 hours.
Indicators a ruler to measure the success of education in Japan is the measurement of
international maintained the OECD countries, namely PISA and TIMMS, the reason Japan does
not apply the system of national test. In 1995, the performance of the the students of elementary
school and Junior High School Japan occupy the first sequence, yet the years further experienced
a decline. In the framework of the implementation of the yutorikyouiku, the government also
incorporated the 5 school days, i.e. from Monday till Friday. The purpose of the policy this is so
that students can spend more time with family and learn more in his neighborhood at the end of
the weekend.
With the results of PISA are disappointing, the government then issued a policy to
perform back gakuryoku tesuto (test ability academic) 2007, ever implemented in the 1960s.
Characteristic the curriculum of the Japan the other is the idea of ikiru chikara and sgtekina
gakush if. The concept of ikiru chikara is the concept of the to cultivate the soul and train the
strength and ability to live in the middle of the community.
The frame of the curriculum of the Japan to the field of mathematics is not targeted to
master the breadth of coverage, but precisely target the depth of the process of learning (Schmidt,
McKnight, & Raizen, 1996, in Darling-Hammond, 1997). For years the first floor of the Junior
high school (lower secondary school), the curriculum targeting four targets policy:

a. deepen the understanding of students about the integral


b. understand the meaning of the equations (equations)
c. understand the function of relationship (relationships)
d. deepen the understanding of the students about the features of the space (properties of space
figures)
The purpose of this learning translated into the three main topics that are taught.
Associated with the target this, the teachers are recommended to emphasize understanding the
meaning or the meaning principle, and not merely to train the count-the count of the sheer. With
so, the emphasis is in expanding the understanding of just applying the formula-the formula of
the algorithm or measure the speed in the break about or the topic.
Mathematics in Japan relative of the different. Class starts with a brief introduction, then
the teacher serves one about that hard enough and don't teach students the way break the matter.
The students then do themselves the matter, good standalone and clustered, while supervised by
a teacher around to see the fruit and give suggestions. After ten or 15 minutes, one student is
asked to present what she got in front of the class, with input from the teacher if students that
experience delays.Mathematics the Japan give freedom thought patterns in the solve the problem
to the child. The fault happened to the child left and made a natural process in finding the
thought patterns that. The teacher gives a problem to be broken son fits with a pattern he thought.
In a class in Japan, the kids could spend the whole time learning in class to demonstrate
and discuss the diverse solutions that they identify against a question. With a look at a question
from different perspective, and evaluate the process of thought in themselves, as well as
corrected the error which they had made, they learn to think for the bending or flexible. Rather
than learn by simply applying a series of rules that do not fully understand, or breaka large
number of the same question with the formula of the algorithm is the same, the students learn to
reach understanding will be varied strategies to break the question. Not surprising that they
finally were able to apply what they have learnt that in a s-new situation they face.
Learning mathematics, especially in The elementary school and Junior High School in
Japan is also very interesting, the teachers always prepare the material learn the very medium,
for example paper, scissors, clothespin clothes, or the other ingredients are simple to find. The
props used to help shape the mindset of children.

There are 3 principles of teaching teachers in Japan, that is


1. Tanoshii jugyou (classes should be fun)
2. Wakaru ko (the child should understand)
3. dekiru ko (children should be able to)
Approach learning mathematics in Japan the deed by the standard fill is a fragmentation
problem. It is intended to improve the ability to solve problems should be developed skills
understanding the problem, making mathematicsematical models, solve problems, and interpret
the solution. Learning mathematics in Japan based on the problem of contextual. This able to
look from thebooks lessons of mathematics in Japan using pictures natural places, things and
other things that have relativity with the fill or the lessons presented in the book. Book lesson
colorful and have a lot of photos and pictures.

D. Advantages and Disadvantages in Japan Mathematics Curriculum
51

Advantages:
1. The attention on education come from a variety of parties
2. Japan school is not Expensive
3. In Japan There Is No Discrimination Against The School
4. The curriculum of Japan schools is very heavy
5. The school as the unit of education
6. The teacher assured will not lose the post
7. Japan teacher full dedication
8. Japan teacher felt obliged to give education a person whole and fair.
9. The education in Japan has always managed to produce quality human resources.
Approach mathematics learning in Japan mandated by content standards are
problem solving, discovery, and open ended. It is intended to improve problem-solving
skills need to be developed skills to understand a problem, create mathematicsematical
models, solve problems, and interpret the solution. Mathematics learning in Japan based
on a contextual problem. Education is compulsory at the elementary and lower secondary
levels. Virtually all students progress to the upper secondary level, which is voluntary.
Most students attend public schools through the lower secondary level, but private
education is popular at the upper secondary and university levels. In other words, an
advantage of their educational system is constant learning from ages 3 and up. From a
spectators point of view, maybe it's a bit much. They go to school everyday excluding
sunday and various holiday breaks.
Disadvantages:
The education system in Japan is considered too rigid in applying the entrance
exam for prospective new students as well as solely emphasizes the ability of the memory
against the facts.
E. Things that Need to be Adopted in Indonesian Mathematics Curriculum
Following this there are some things that writers recommend for the learning of
mathematics in Indonesia, namely:
a) Should the government make a specialized curriculum for education of mathematics
as there is in Japan with a Curriculum of mathematics interesting and challenging for
the participants teach.
b) Learning mathematics connected with the everyday life of the participants teach, so
that learning becomes meaningful for the participants of the protege.
52

c) The Teacher should be able to evoke the interest and motivation of the participants
teach in the learning of mathematics
d) Learning mathematics should be using the approach of problem solving and open
ended, not with a rote, until the participants of the protg is able to increase the
ability literasinya in the breakdown of a mathematics problem, so it can be applied in
everyday life.
F. Conclusion
Based on the the blurb above it can be concluded that:
a)

Curriculum in Japan has characteristic of the expansion of the adapting condition

and the thought of


b) The Purpose of curiculer from the country of Japan in the education of
mathematics that strives to give the participants protege with a wide and varied
experience that will enhance the ability ofthem to think logically and creative use of
mathematics problem that is based on life situations real.
c) Mathematics Japan gives advantage of the widest to the participants of the protg
to try to solve problems with the mindset itself.
d) The Essence of teaching mathematics in japan is shaping the mindset of the
participants protege.Approach often worn is open ended, problem solving and
discovery.
