Curriculum Evaluation Concept

Curriculum Evaluation Concept A. Definition of Learning Learning is the process of interaction between students and educators and learning resources in a learning environment. Learning is assistance provided by educators so that the process of acquiring knowledge and science, mastery of skills and habits, and the formation of attitudes and beliefs in students can occur. In other words, learning is a process to help students so that they can run well. The learning process can also be interpreted as a series of interactions between students and teachers in order to achieve their goals. Learning is the process of teaching students. The complete definition of learning can be formulated as follows: "Learning is a process carried out by individuals to obtain a new change in behavior as a whole, as a result of the individual's own experience in interacting with their environment," (Novrizal, 2013: 4-5). Learning is a term taken from the translation of the word "Instruction". Often people distinguish the word learning from "teaching", but not infrequently people give the same meaning to both words. According to Arief S. Sadiman, the meaning of the word learning and the word teaching can be distinguished. If the word teaching only exists in the context of teachers and students in formal classes, while the word learning does not only exist in the context of teachers and students in formal classes, but also includes teaching and learning activities that are not physically attended by teachers. In the word learning, the emphasis is on student learning activities through planned efforts to manipulate learning resources so that the learning process occurs. With this definition, the scope of the word teaching is narrower than the word learning. On the other hand, there are those who believe that the words learning and teaching are essentially the same, namely a process of interaction between teachers and students in achieving predetermined goals. (Riyana, (1)). B. Definition of Learning Components Learning can be said to be a system, because learning is an activity that has a purpose, namely to teach students. As a system, of course, teaching and learning activities contain components. The learning process is a series of activities involving various components that interact with each other, where teachers must utilize these components in the process of activities to achieve the goals they want to plan. (Pane, 2017:340). The learning component is the suitability and compatibility of the relationship between parts in the mental and physical processes carried out by educators and students to achieve the goals to be achieved. In learning, there are five components that are interrelated and complement each other to achieve the desired goals. In addition, the learning component also provides an illustration of how important each component is, learning will not be able to run if one of the components is not met. And also the learning component is a system that is related to each other and interacts in developing learning. (Dolong, 2016:295). C. Learning as a System Learning is a process, method, act of making people or living things learn. (KBBI) It can also be said as a process of interaction between students and educators in a prepared learning environment, with the aim of helping students improve quality and increase knowledge. A system is a set of elements that are regularly interrelated to form a totality. In the system, it is formed from various elements, such as input, process, output, and feedback. Each component/element works together to achieve a predetermined goal/competency. So, Learning as a System is a process of interaction carried out between students and educators in a certain learning environment with a structure, and there is feedback between the two. Characteristics of the system: • Purposeful • Has components • Surrounded by other systems • Carrying out the transformation process • Has a feedback mechanism
