Contemporary Educational Perspective of Indonesian and German Students

Le résumé fourni par la source

Each country and even the region has its own policies in the implementation of education, starting from primary education to higher education. Each individual also has a different learning experience, even though they pursue the same education. In this article, two former students of a person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy course in the UK reflect on their personal experiences in education in Germany and Indonesia, as well as how their previous experiences varied from the experiential education. Common themes in both accounts of traditional education were a pressure to be the best, a loss of interest in the studies due to the pressure, a wish to be invisible as a student, and a learned low failure tolerance. The person-centred experiential learning experience is in both accounts described as liberating and encouraging independent learning. The authors argue that freedom and autonomy are important in an educational setting especially in the industrial era 4.0. Currently, the extent of freedom in education or independent learning is greatly influenced by the policies that exist in each country
