Teori Vygotsky; membiasakan apa yang belum terbiasa

banyak teori meskipun saya masih berproses dalam mengaplikasikannya.
Dalam training tersebut saya mendapatkan satu teory, sebetulnya ini dipelajari di jurusan psychology, yaitu teori Vigotsky, menurut saya sih teori ini mengajarkaan bagaimana kita bisa melakukan apa saja yang belum biasa kita lakukan karena di teori ini ada 3 lingkaran dimana lingkaarang besar pertama adalah kebiasan kita sehari-hari dan lingkaran kedua adalah yang baru bisa kita kerjakan tapi temponya sedikit dan lingkaran ketiga adalah apa yang belum bisa kerjakan selama ini dan ingin menjadikan kebiasaan kita sehari-hari. Contohnya; di lingkaran pertama kita suka melakukan sholat lima waktu sehari semalam dan itu sudah menjadi kebiasaan sehari-hari, lingkaran kedua adalah sholat sunah ba;da atau qobla sholat karena terkadang kita melakukannya dan terkadang tidak, dan lingkarang ketiga adalah sholat tahajjud atau dhuha karena sholat tahajjud terhitung sholat yang butuh paksaan dan kesabaraan (tahu sendiri bangun malam susah banget, kalu bangun itu juga mu ke toilet atau ada acara bola) dalam mengerjakannya tapi kita sudah bertekad untuk membiasakannya, nah ketika tahajjud menjadi kebiasaan dengan segala prosesnya berarti kita sudah memakai teori Vygotsky, begitulah kira-kira.
Nah dari teori ini kita belajar bagaimana menyusun waktu untuk bisa membiasakan diri dengan hal-hal yang belum terbiasa dengan kita seperti sholat tahajjud, ataau membiasakan baca buku atau mebiasakan baca quran atau apa sajalah, karena memang tidaak susah untuk membiasakan diri yang memang belum terbiasa dengan kita.
Semoga bermanfaat

Beberapa tahun yang lalu saya belajar teori pendidikan khususnya pengajaran, seacara saya lulusan Pendidikan di UIN Jakarta, tapi apa yang saya dapatkan sangat minim karena lebih banyak pelajaran bahasa inggrisnya daripada konsep pengajaran itu sendiri, tapi setelah lulus saya masuk sekolah di Jakarta yang memakaai konsep active learning, dan distulah saya mendapat banyak konsep pengajaran yang bermanfaat karena tidak saya dapatkan di kampus, bayangkan saja dengan waktu training 3 bulan sama saja seperti kuliah 4 tahun di kampus saya, makanya say bersykur banget bisa dapatkan

Do the students learn to asses or learn to learn?

pelajaran mereka jago banget karena mereka sudah menghafalnya dengan tekun tapi disaat di praktekan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari mereka pasti bengong, contohnya mereka belajar matematika, mereka belajar menghitung meng hafal banyak hal sehingga di ujian dapat nilai bagus karena sudah dihafal semalaman dengan system SKS(sistem kebut semalam), tapi ketika sudah terjun dilapangan ketika mereka berhadapan dengan hitungan mereka akan menggunakan kalkulator karena alasannya lebih simple, atau contoh anak-anak diajarkan sholat, anak-anak sangat tahu materi tentang sholat tapi praktiknya tidak bisa, mereka bisa praktek kalau praktek ujian sekolah, dan ketika ditanya kenapa kamu sholat?jawabnya supaya lulus ujian, jadinya mereka tidak tahu aessensi dari sholat itu sendiri.
Mau gimana kalau sudah begini?tapi apakah kita akan terus membuat siswa learn to asses bukan learn to learn, yah membuatku mumpung belum terlambat, mari kita sedikit demi sedikit mengubaah cara berfikir bagaimana cara mengajarkan anak bukan target ujian saja tapi mengajarkan kepada anak belajar essensi dari belajar itu sendiri, belajar bukan untuk ujian tapi belajar adalah proses yang tidak bisa dilihat hasilnya secepat membalikan telapak tangan.

Pertanyaan ini yang harus ditanamkan bagi siapa saja yang merasa menjadi guru karena sudah sejak lama sekali kita mengajarkan pelajaran kepada anak didik supaya mereka lulus di ujian bukan supaya mereka belajar sesuatu, pengalaman saya ketika sebagai siswa, saya selalu belajar bagaimana menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan di saat ujian, tidak bisa dipungjkiri memang, karena system pembelajaran di kita khususnya mengajarkan bagaimna anak lulus ujian, wajar kalau siswa ditanya tentang materi

Blue Energy; Apa benar keberadaannya?

di saat bahan bakar terus melonjak sampai harga dunia mencapai 100 lebih dolar per barrel, maka energy inilah bisa jadi alternatif apalagi sumbernya dari air dan lagi airnya gampang didapat dan tidak akan habis-habis karena bukan air dari tanah tapi air laut yang dipakai makanya kan sangat murah biaya produksinya, bahkan awal tahun ini blue energy sempat diperkenalkan pada peserta workshop se-dunia di Bali tentang Global warming.
diisukan juga bahwa blue energy ini sudah sip dipasarkan, berdasarkan kesepakatan dengan pemerintah bahwa april 2008 adalah waktu yang tepat untuk mendistribusikan blue energy ini dan ditaksir harganya sekitar 3000 rupiah per liter, murah bukan, ya iyya lah dibanding solar yang 5500 dan premium 6000.
tapi apa yang terjadi?sekarang sudah hampir mendekati bulan Juni, tapi pendistribusian blue energy ini belum keliatah batang hidungnya, ada apa ini gerangan???bahkan ga jelas kelanjutannya, saya khawatir kalau ini hanya upaya membahagiakan masyarakat aja oleh pemerintah biar ngga kaget dengan naiknya BBM, tapi malah pemerintah kena batunya yaitu kena penipuan oleh penemu blue energy itu sendiri, seperti dulu pemerintah yang tertipu oleh penemuan harta karun di batu tulis, atau juga dulu tahun 80 an pemerintah tertipu oleh seorang Ibu hamil yang mengaku kalau anaknya bisa baca quran di dalam kandungannya, semua pihak sampai president, ulama besar, juga mantan perdana mentri malaysia membenarkan pristiwa itu, padahal itu penipuan karena beberapa tahun kemudian si Ibu itu ketahuan kalau dia berbohong dan hanya ingin popularitas, ternyata eh ternyata dia memakai tape di kainnya (hebat yah bisa nipu orang2 elit pemerintah saat itu).
semoga saja ini(blue eneergy) bukan penipuan yang pernah terjadi di masa lalu, saya berharap ini bisa jadi kenyataan, disaat waktu sulit seperti ini kita sangat memburtuhkan penemuan-penemuan seperti ini.
kal;au pun memang bener ada energy ini tolong dipercepat, meskipun ilmuan Jepang bilang butuh 30 tahun lagi untuk mengaplikasikan teori ini, tapi siapa tahu pa Joko memang benar bisa melakukannya.

beberapa bulan ini santer diberitakan ada penemuan bahan bakar baru yaitu blue energy yang dapat diamblil dari pemisahan air(H dan O2) sehingga jadilah energy yang sekarang terkenal dengan sebutan blue energy, tapi masalahnya benar atau nggak karena sampai sekarang penemunya, Joko, masih terdampar di rumah sakit karena serangan jantung, dan belum diketahui kelanjutannya. beberapa minggu yang lalu dia diberitakan menghilang ntah kemana, sangat misterius, disaat orang2 butuh penjelasannya tentang blue energy malah dia menghilang begitu saja, setelah dia muncul malah langsung sakit keras.
siapa yang tidak senang dengan munculnya blue energy ini?

Dealing with Difficult Parents.....penting buat para Guru

there is no easy way to deal with overbearing parents. They come in a walks and sizes, because they are individuals, just like their children. Some hover, some yell, some are insistent, and some are abusive. Most have one thing in common – they love their children. It may not seem like it to you, the recipient of the haranguing behavior, but these parents are often the ones who want to be (or are) highly involved in their child’s life. The key is learning how to redirect the parent’s attention from you back to their child.
One important element to interacting with difficult parents is to document everything. When the child has a color change (or whatever your consequences are), write down the action and the consequence. You should also write down any other redirection that you tried before giving the official consequence. For example, the child received a warning for the first infraction and was reminded of the expectations. Another infraction occurred and he then received the consequence. A written record of this will help when meeting and/or speaking with this parent in regards to the child’s behavior. You then have a running record that details exactly what the child did, how you responded, and the ultimate consequences for that behavior. This type of documentation also helps the principal support you when in a confrontation with the parent. I cannot say enough about documenting everyth ing! It will be your saving grace whenever dealing with parents and administrators.
Documenting behavior can take up a lot of time, especially if you have an overactive class. However, there are a few ways you can ease the burden a bit. One is to have a clipboard handy with a spreadsheet showing student names down the side and expectations across the top. When a student is in violation of one of the expectations, simply mark a “1” in the appropriate column next to the student’s name. You might also use letters to key in your actions. For example (1W might mean 1st offense, warning). This takes less time than writing everything out by hand. If you have multiple classes, use manila folders with the spreadsheet stapled on the inside right. Label each folder by class period. Then, before a parent phone conference or meeting, transcribe the incidents into a written report you can refer to during the meeting. There are other ways as wel l to help you in documenting student behavior. Some districts have programs available through the computer to help teachers record and keep track of student behavior.
Secondly, keep your principal informed. When you have issues with the student and run-ins with the parents, let your principal know via personal conversations and email. When you first realize you have a difficult parent, sit down with the principal. Explain what is happening in the classroom and how you've been approached, accosted, etc. by the parent. This helps your administrator better deal with the parent when he/she shows up in the office. Principals hate being taken by surprise and many will end up supporting the parent instead of you simply because the only side of the story they know at that point is the parent's. It also doesn’t hurt to ask the principal for advice on how they might deal with this parent. Your administrator has specialized training in interpersonal skills as well as a lot of experience of their own in dealing with difficult parents. You will fi nd them to be a valuable support resource.
Third, don't back down. With documentation to support your actions, there is no need for you to do so. When speaking with an angry or aggressive parent, the best way to handle it is to listen before talking. First, listen to their concerns without interrupting. I know it is difficult to sit and listen to a diatribe, but it will help in the end. Once the parent has finished venting their feelings, they often feel better and are more open to listening to you. You might want to jot down notes to help you remember what was said. Do not speak or defend your actions at this point. Once the parent is finished, let him/her understand that you have heard and understand their concern. Next, restate the child's behavior (or the issue being discussed), restate your position and actions, then ask for support from the parent with the child's behavior and/or discuss a course of action to hel p change the child's behavior.
Ex: "Mrs. X, Thank you for sharing your concern about 'John's' recent color change. I know how disappointed he is that he made a bad choice in class and had to change it to yellow. As I'm sure you can understand, it is unsafe to have children throwing crayons across the classroom. This is disruptive to the class and can end up in another child getting hurt. One of our classroom expectations is (insert appropriate expectation here). In order to maintain a healthy and positive classroom environment, it is important that I consistently reinforce these expectations. Unfortunately, 'John' made a bad choice today by throwing crayons across the room. We talked at length about making better choices in the future. If you would please talk with 'John' at home about making good choices while I talk to him about it at school, hopefully together we can help him make better choices in class and stay on green. Do you have any other suggestions for what we might do to help 'John' make better choices both in school and at home?"
If the parent interrupts, or tries to interrupt (which very well may happen), simply say, "Mrs. X., I understand you are concerned/upset about what happened, but we cannot help ‘John’ if we do not listen to one another and try to work together. I promise, as soon as I finish explaining what has been happening in class, I will be happy to listen again to anything further you have to say." Be firm about it.
Notice in both conversations above that the focus is not on you and what you've done, but on 'John' and what he's done. It is very important to keep the focus of the discussion on the student. You didn't make the bad choice, the student did. By giving the consequence, you are trying to teach him to make better choices. This is what the parent needs to understand. Many parents who defend their badly behaved children want to make the issue about you. Don't let them. Keep it about their child. When the parent says, "You aren't being fair to my child. Last week he told me so and so did X and got away with it." Respond with, "It is understandable to be disappointed and upset when 'John' makes poor choices. I was also disappointed and sad that he had to move his color because of his choice to throw crayons across the classroom." Don't respond about the other chil d who is not their concern.
Just remember to always keep your focus on the student and the choices he/she has made. When offering suggestions, make sure you phrase them so it is clear you and the parent are working together to help the child. "What can we do to help x?" or "I think that if we ..., it will help x make better choices."
Now, even though overbearing parents can be frustrating to us as teachers, I also want you to put yourself in their shoes. Keep in mind that many of these parents are highly involved in their child’s life. For the first five years they were in complete charge of their child’s learning experiences. Once the child goes to school, and they no longer have a clue as to what he/she is doing all day. It is very hard for these kinds of parents to let their children go in the hands of another adult.
At that point, the child is making choices without the parent(s) there to guide and teach. Many of the choices made by the student may be embarrassing for the parents, which often leads to denial. If you find a parent who is constantly calling or emailing questioning each consequence, homework assignment, or activities done during the day, try to be patient. Parents often feel helpless when it comes to their children in school. They stay in constant contact (which can sometimes seem like harassment) with the teacher as a way to be informed and feel in control of the situation.
As a parent, if my son makes a bad choice and I'm there to reprimand and teach him to make a better choice, I have control over the situation. When my son comes home with a color change and I have no idea what he did to earn that consequence, I feel helpless. What did he do? Was there anything I could have done to help him make better choice? The lack of knowledge is upsetting, especially to parents who have been intimately involved with every aspect of their child's life up to that point. Until they come to grips with the fact that their child is an individual and not an extension of themselves, you will find yourself dealing with a highly inquisitive and demanding parent. Unfortunately, for some this doesn’t happen until after the child has graduated from college.
Many parents who are problems for teachers become less so as they are more informed. Sending home notes, keeping parents informed about choices made and actions taken can cut off potential problems before they occur. For example, if you sent home a note explaining that 'John made a poor choice in class by ____, resulting in a color change to yellow', most parents will then have a discussion with their child about the choice made and will support the consequence. (Obviously you will still have those aggressive parents who will huff and puff that the choice wasn't so bad. You'll never get rid of those, unfortunately.)
However, if a concerned and involved parent sees a report showing a color change with no explanation, and gets the usual response of "I don't know" or some story from their child, you are far more likely to get an angry email or phone call demanding to know what happened. How does the parent know that their child isn't telling the truth? They haven't heard any facts from you to help them better judge. By giving the parent information up front, you take the wind out of their sails. The child has less of an opportunity to make up some story about what happened. This doesn’t mean, of course, that they won’t try and blame their choices on someone else. That is merely human nature. It also doesn’t mean that some parents will still believe their child’s lie over the report sent home by the teacher.
As a parent, I can tell you from first hand experience that when my son has teachers who ignore my questions, don’t send home any kind of information or explanation about my son’s behavior or grades, and have as little interaction with me as possible, I can be a very difficult parent. I had one teacher in particular who was so contrary and unhelpful to me as a parent, that I complained, wrote letters to the district, and was constantly in the principal’s office with demands. However, for the teachers who make the effort to get to know me at the beginning of the year, who call or email when my son makes a bad choice, and who make an effort to keep me informed, I am absolutely their best cheerleader and supporter. I rave about them to everyone I know. Whatever they need – I try to get it for them. And when my son makes poor choices in class, he suffers th e consequences. Then, when he comes home complaining, instead of sympathizing, I support the teacher’s action.
Sending notes home, however, can also be time-consuming. As we all know, there often isn’t much time to get it all done. I like to use pre-made forms. These can easily be created on the computer and written in such a way that all I have to do is fill in the blanks or circle a choice.
One example of a form you might use would be a small square or strip that reads, "______________ made a poor choice today by __________________ which resulted in a color change to yellow/red. (or whatever the consequence is)
Another one might read, "__________________ made great choices today! He/she _________________________. I am so proud! You should be too!"
For upper level teachers, go ahead and type out the different consequences on your form. Then you can simply circle the consequence that applies.
These can be easily filled out without too much time and will go a long way towards keeping parents informed quickly about their child’s behavior and/or academics.
These are just a few ways you can deal with difficult parents. Entire books have been written on this subject and this email is probably already longer than most of you wanted to read.  If you are looking for further strategies, I highly recommend the book – How to Deal with Parents who are Angry, Troubled, Afraid, or Just Plain Crazy by Elaine McEwan.

Dealing with Difficult Parents.....
Ada yang bilang gampang2 susah dalam berkomunikasi dengan orang tua, kadang kita canggung atau ga enak kalau bilang atau katakjan apa yang terjadi dengan anaknya, ini dia ada solusinya, bagaimana deal with the parent, semoga manfaat....
Recently a new teacher emailed me about dealing with difficult or overbearing parents. Apparently she has a young student who often gets his color changed from misbehavior. The mother has been in constant contact with the teacher since the beginning of the year, continually questioning what is happening in the classroom. Most recently, however, she has begun to be confrontational whenever her son comes home with a color change. I know this is a common problem and thought perhaps I’d address it briefly in our newsletter.
First of all,

EURO 2008, siap datang

tak lupa pula di Indonesia banyak televisi yang siap menayangkan laga 4 tahunan itu diantaranya Global, RCTI dan TPi karena mereka satu rumah jadi hanya mereka yang punya hak siarnya, pun banyak acara2 nonton bareng yang diselenggarakan, tak terasa demam bola itu tinggal beberapa minggu lagi
Sekarang siapkan tentukan pilihan, siapa kira2 yang bakal jadu juara, tapi ingat jangan sampai taruhan, dosa lho. Kalau analisaku Italy tetep yang bakal jadi juara euro, secara mereka adalah juara piala dunia 06 dan merekalah yang menurutku punya squad yang sempurna apalagi ada kipper terbaik dunia siapa lagi kalau bukan Gianluigi “boink” Buffon yang didatangkan dari klub elit JUVENTUS, dari semua lini hanya Italy lah yang sempurna, di depannya ada Toni yang jadi top skorer di liga Zerman, Boriello “anak yang baru jadi” yang main di Genoa adalah top skorer ke 3 setelah piero dan trezeguat, di tengahnya ada Pirlo dibantu Camoranesi dan di kiri Del piero, agak belakang dikit ada Kuda jantan yang berlari kencang (surat Al-adiat kale) siapa lagi kalau bukan Ivan Gennaro Gattuso, belakang ada Zambrotta, Chiellini, barzagli dan pemain paling tua di dunia persepakbolaan, dialah Polo Maldini, bayangin aja dengan usia yang sudah hamper 45 tahun tapi masih kuat untuk maen bola. Maka dari itu lagi2 menurut anlisasku Italy lah yang bakal jadi juara.
Kandidat ke dua Prancis, mereka punya squad yang lumayan bagus tapi mereka ga punya kipper sebagus Buffon, kecuali kalau mereka pasang Sebastian Frey jadi kipper no 1,ada yang bagus kipernya seperti Spanyol tapi mereka ga punya mental juara apalagi pemain tengah dan lini depannya masih mandul.
Tapi siapapun nanti yang jadi juara, yang penting mari kita ramaikan dunia persepak bolaan supaya bisa menjamur ke persepak bolaan Nusantara yang kebetuln sore ini akan menghadapi tamu istimewa juara 1 liga jerman. Bayern Munchen, makanya mari kita dukung pasukan Beni Dolo ini. FORZA BOLA INDONESIA,

Salam,
Tak terasa EURO 08 sebentar lagi menghampiri kita, persiapan2 pun sudah disiapkan dengan matang oleh para peserta EURO, dari mulai observe pemain sampai memilih siap pemain akan dipasangkan di lapangan, Raymond Domenech sudah sangat yakin dengan squadnya, meskipun sayang ga masangin Trezeguet sebagai starting line nya bahkan ga dibawa ke Austria dan Swiss, nyesel lu ntar Domenech…!Italy juga sudah siap dengan squad terbaiknya salah satunya yang terahir baru mauk Alesandro Del Piero, semua Negara sudah siap2 dengan matang.

Business day event salah satu pembelajaran baik siswa

Dan menurutku memang kita butuh event-event yang seperti itu untuk mendukung anak-anak dalam meng aplikasika apa yang mereka dapat dari pelajaran, kita selalu berfikir kalau test/ujian adalah cara yang terbaik supaya anak-anak inget dengan apa yang sudah dipelajari, SALAH, itu sangat salah karena ada banya cara yang bisa tawarkan ke anak-anak untuk assessment ya diantaranya lewat event-event, seperti business ini atau dengan acara multi cultural week, kartini Day, rajaban, muludan, health day, dan yang lainnya, karena dengan acara-acara seperti ini anak langsung bisa memperaktekan apa yang didapatkan dari pelajaran.
Memangnya apa yang didapat dari Business day?pertama anak-anak belajar ngomong bagaimana menawarkan dagannya, disini anak belajar untuk berani berbicara dengan orang asing, terus tentunya mereka mempraktekan pelajaran matematika, dan masih banyak manfaat yang lain.
Makanya bagi sekolah-sekolah mulailah berfikir untuk cari cara yang terbaik bagaimana cara belajar yang baik yang saat iytu juga berfungsi sebagai assessment, event lah menurutku solusinya.

Hari ini, anak-anak murid sedang pada sibuk dengan persiapan business day yang akan diselenggarakan hari Jumat ini, Bussiness day adalah salah satu event yang ada di sekolahku yang bermaksud untuk supaya anak-anak belajar berbisnis, setiap kelas di kasih modal 600 ribu kemudian dibelanjakan yang kemudian itu semua menjadi bahan yang akan di jual ke orang lain, setiap kelas memiliki tema sendiri-sendiri sesuai dengan apa yang mereka jual, ada yang kidZonia, food thru, ada juga whatever café dll, mereka akan menjajakan dagangannya kepada para murid dan juga kepada orang tua yang dating dan hebatnya setiap acara business day ga pernah ada kelas yang rugi, semuanya untung besar, gat tau kenapa.

Edensor is the best one

tapi it does'nt matter, karena dengan membaca buku ini aku bisa menjelajahi Nusantara bahkan benua biru Eropa, hanya dengan baca yang aku bisa, tapi impianku (aduh setelah baca bukunya Andrea Hirata jadi mimpi mulu yah) suatu saat aku bisa jelajahi dunia ga tau kapan waktunya tapi aku ingin jelajahi dunia ini dan teriak pada dunia bahwa aku ini ada.
balik lagi ke bukunya Hirata, edensor ini memang paling mantap, disamping penulisannya lebih rapi dan tidak bertele-tele seperti di Laskar Pelangi, juga berisi tentang perjuangan si Ikal yang tidak pernah berhenti untuk dapatkan A-Ling(ngomong-ngomong dah ketemu belum yah si Aling itu?)
pokoknya bagus banget lah, jempol 3 buat Andrea, kapan yah aku bisa nulis novel jaya gitu?padahal aku punya banyak ide untuk menuliskan novel bagus tapi aku ga punya jiwa imajinasi, ideku adalah bikin novel tentang perjuangan perkembangan Islam di masa lampau dimana banyak intrik politik antara satu kerajaan Islam dan kerajaan islam lainnya, yang aku pingin angkat bahwa Islam memiliki kebudayaan yang tinggi dan pusat ilmu pengetahuan, tapi sayang aku belum mampu untuk kesitu.
contohnya angkat saja kasus bagaimana keberhasilan Shalahuddi al Ayyubi mengalhkan kaum Salib dan menguasai Yerussalem, atau tentang perjuangan Ilmuan apakah itu ilmuah Fiqih atau apa saja yang dihaadapkan dengan pertempuran sesama umat Islam seperti Ibnu Hazm.
andai aku bisa.....?ah aku cuma bisanya berandai-andai

Menurutku, dari tetralogi Andrea Hirata Edensor lah yang paling mantap, karena isinya berupa impin yang tercapai dengan penuh usaha yang keras, dan disini pula banyak petualangan yang sngat mendebarkan dan sangat menantang, kapan yah aku bisa begitu?jangankan Eropa yang di explore, negaraku tercinta aja belum pernah aku kunjungi semua bahkan aku pernah menyebrangi lautan yang ada di Indonesia, kasian banget yah aku????

Buku Fiksi sejarah yang layak dibaca

belum memjadi maha patih tapi dia sebagai Bekel atau jabatan ketentaraan yang masih rendah tapi beliau memiliki kanuragan yang sakti sehingga dia diberi kekuasaan untuk memimpin pasukan penjaga istana yang diberi nama Bhayangkara.
di buku ini pula diceritakan adanya pemberontakan yang dilakukan oleh Rakrian Kuti bersama teman-teman winehsuka lainnya diantaranya Ra Tanca, Ra Yuyu, Ra wedeng dll, mereke memberontak kerajaan karena mereka tidak merasa puas dengan pemerintahan majapahit saat, singkatnya, setelah pemberontakan ini berhasil, yang terjadi malah kekacaun, penjarahan dan banyak terjadi pembunuhan, dan karena itu pula akhirnya kawula majapahit berbalik meruntuhkan Ra kuti yang saat itu menjabat sebagai raja, di pimpin oleh pasukan Bhayangkara akhirnya ra kuti jatuh dan mati di tangan para Bhayangkara, dan Sri jayanegara kembali menempati posisinya menjadi sang Raja.
untuk tahu lebih lanjut ceritanya, baca deh bukunya seru banget dan jujur buku ini lebih hebat dari da vinci nya down Brown.
tapi ada satu kesalahan di buku ini, dalam sejarah aslinya sri jayanegara sempat menduduki kursi kerajaan selama kurang lebih 11 atau 12 tahun, tapi di buku ini diceritakan jayanegara meninggal setelah beberapa saat Ra kuti meninggal karena pemberontakannya.
tapi itu tidak mengurangi kualitas dari buku ini dan juga kesalahan utu di perbaiki di buku yang II, yang belum aku baca, karena aku langsung loncat bacanya ke seri ke IV tentang Perang Bubat dimana Gajah MAda yang dari awal memiliki reputasi yang tinggi akhirnya runtuh reputasinya karena membantai rombongan dari kerajaan Sunda yang akan menikahkan putri raja Dyah pitaloka dengan Hayam Wuruk....!
belum selesai bacanya, ntar kalau udah selesai aku akan share disini.

Jangan lupa beli bukunya yah....!

Meskipun saya agak terlambat mengetahui buku ini, tapi gak salah juga kalau saya bisa berbagi dengan kalian sekarang....!buku sejarah yang dikemas dengan baik sekali
Gajah Mada, judul bukunya, buku ini serie ke I dari 6 seri buku Gajah Mada, buku seri I ini memnceritakan sejarah majapahit di masa pemerintahan sri jayanegara, keturunan sri Wijaya pelopor dan pembangun kerajaan Majapahit.
Gajah Mada yang saat itu

Pohon Aneh tapi nyata

Subhanallah, itulah yang pertama kali saya ucapkan pas melihat fhoto tersebut, karena pohon ini aneh tapi nyata, bagaimana tidak aneh pohon ini berbuah wujud seorang perempuan dan ini hanya tumbuh di salah satu daerah di thailand, asli atau tidak silahkan check sendiri kebenarannya
Pohon ajaib Nareepol


This amazing tree named "Nareepol" in Thai. Naree means "girl/woman" and pol means plant/ tree or "buah" in Malay. It means women tree. It is amazing what God create the
World in many forms that amused human beings...

You can see the real tree at Petchaboon province about almost 500 kms away from Bangkok.

Sejarah Cianjur, kota indah kelahiranku

SEJARAH SINGKAT KABUPATEN CIANJUR

Sejarah Kabupaten Cianjur sangat sedikit diketahui, akan tetapi menurut cerita-cerita dari orang tua, daerah Kabupaten Cianjur dahulunya adalah termasuk kedalam wilayah Kerajaan Pajajaran.
Hal ini dapat dilihat dari banyaknya kepercayaan masyarakat Cianjur yang sama dengan masyarakat pada jaman kerajaan pajajaran yang banyak mengenal kebudayaan hindu.

Asal usul Kabupaten Cianjur diketahui setelah masuk pengaruh Islam ke Cianjur dari Kesultanan Banten kira-kira abad XV.
Bupati pertama Cianjur bernama Wiratanu I yang memerintah kira-kira abad XVII berpusat di Cikidul-Cikalong Kulon 20km sebelah utara Kabupaten Cianjur sekarang. Kemudian dipindahkan oleh Bupati Wiratanu II ke tepi sungai dan jalan raya yang telah dibuat oleh Daendels antara Anyer - Panarukan yaitu Kota Cianjur sekarang.

Kota Cianjur menjadi Kota Keresidenan Priangan pada masa Raden Kusumah Diningrat dengan wilayah meliputi Pelabuhan Ratu sebelah barat, Sungai Citanduy dengan barisan Gunung Halimun, Mega Mendung, Tangkuban Perahu sebelah timur, dan Samudra Indonesia sebelah selatan.
Kemudian pada masa Bupati R.A.A Prawiradiredja wilayah Cianjur mengalami perubahan menjadi Cikole sebelah barat, Sukabumi sekarang, Bandung dan Tasikmalaya dengan Ibukota Keresidenan dipindahkan ke Bandung.

Perkebunan karet dan teh merupakan akibat dari sistem tanam paksa (cultur stelsel).
Perkebunan tersebut merupakan tempat hiburan akhir pekan bagi asisten residen dan orang-orang belanda yang tinggal di Cianjur dan cenderung membuat rumah didaerah Cipanas-Puncak.
