What really happened in Finland might be enlightening. Timothy D. Walker, in his latest book Teach Like Finland or Teaching as Finns leaked some of the keys and simple strategies on education in Finland.

Timothy or familiarly called Tim wrote this book based on his own experience as a former teacher in the US who taught at a primary school in Finland. The team found some conclusions.

Firstly, education in Finland is very concerned about well-being, whether students or teachers.

"In the early days of teaching, I spent some time resting on checking my teaching materials or checking emails, as I used to do in the US Meanwhile, Finnish teachers even relax in the teachers' room while drinking," Tim wrote.

After a while, a teacher came to Tim and invited her to join in, saying, "I am very worried about your health.You are depressed, remember you are the master of the job, not to be enslaved by work."

The team sees it as one of the most positive paradigms. Education in Finland takes great care, the well-being, both physically and mentally of each individual. This also appears in the policy for the students.

Students in Finland are fond of taking breaks to play and chase, and even each school provides a playground. Students are also asked to join an interest club and socialize in their neighborhood. This is very possible because the total school hours averaged only 18 hours per week.

--->Is there a PR in Finland?

It seems to be a popular myth, and unfortunately, according to Tim, that's not true. The students still get the PR, but are given with great consideration of the degree of difficulty.

The teachers give homework that is not heavy, even the average can be done within 30 minutes. In essence, they want the students to really get enough rest after school, and can continue with other activities.

In addition, the Team also saw that the students were on average independent. Finnish schools and communities work together to pursue independent students.

Believe me, you will be surprised to see elementary students who go-home school alone, take a bus or train. It is from the independent spirit that the students are accustomed to thinking carefully, even through the boundaries.

In addition to these things, the Team mentions other keys, such as an effort to give a sense of belonging, an endeavor to teach the basic things, the ability to unite with a peaceful nature, and much more.

--->The Ultimate Advice

The last chapter of this book is unique: Do not Forget Happy! This is the ultimate tips at the end of the book.

The team wanted to underline that the natural essence of education goes hand in hand with the universal principle of life for each person. Happiness is given a central place in the curriculum in Finland.

Indonesians will often hear many parents or teachers who are tempted to "flog" their own children to be able to master many things beyond his ability. The children work nonstop, study in haste.

What consequences? Education goes by force because it is more like a torture. Education is not fun.

Yes, in Finland a happy education system became the focus. A happy child learns things lightly.

Of course, there are still many interesting things about the not-yet-educational drill in Finland in this book. Are you interested in reading more Teach Like Finland?The Ultimate Advice
