Education Innovation Models

Top Down Inovation

Top Down Inovation is one of the government's efforts to improve the quality of education or equal opportunity to get education, improve time efficiency and so on. This innovation is applied to subordinates by way of invite, advocate and even impose what according to the boss was good for the interests of his subordinates. And subordinates are not authorized to deny its implementation. So it can be said that top down innovation as well as authoritarian education. Examples are what the Ministry of National Education has done. Such as the application of curriculum, the policy of decentralization of education and others.

Top Down Scope

Top down innovation concerns only about government policies and regulations on education such as curriculum, Standards Competence (SK) and Basic Competency (KD), but in our opinion, top down innovation also occurs at the time of learning / transfer process science / knowledge in the classroom. This happens from teacher to learner. When teachers teach in a class often force learners to swallow round what is explained and explained by the teacher, learners just say yes, they do not dare to refute, comment, respond, what the teacher because of the existence punishment for learners who are considered to deviate this can kill the creativity and critical piker patterns of learners. In addition to formal education in schools it turns out top down innovation also occurs in the educational policy at home, that is from parents to their children, Parents educate their children hard and rigid, children must obey the rules made by parents, children are not given the opportunity to do according to their desires and wills, so they feel depressed. The goal is that they become children who are disciplined, submissive and not a lot of will. Although with authoritarian education patterns make the family look safe, orderly, and no problem, but this is very dangerous for the development of the soul of the child because they will grow into a low self-esteem, not independent, timid to try new things, do not have creativity , etc.
