Abstract

Most history writing involves and actualizes different perspectives and approaches. As a historiography, the past is usually constructed with value judgment from which historian creates the narrative of history. This article deals with the way how Indonesian historiography excludes systematically the maritime world of western coast of Sumatra and the adjacent islands. The grand narrative of Indonesian history stays in the land of Sumatra and hardly goes to the water world of the surrounding islands. The applied approach is inspired partly by the exclusion and inclusion nature of historiography developed by those who comprehensively critical to the national historical canon, of which maritime world of the western coast of Sumatra and the adjacent islands together people live there is assumed historically not important in representing modern, civilized, and globalized Indonesia. The source material uses consists chiefly of secondary sources. The aim here is not to open debate over what is the reality of the maritime world of western coast of Sumatra and the adjacent islands, but to argue about marginalization and exclusion of the area, and to explain why Indonesian national narrative neglecting it.  Sebagian besar penulisan sejarah melibatkan dan menghadirkan berbagai cara pandang dan pendekatan. Sebagai historiografi, masa lalu biasanya dikonstruksi berdasarkan nilai tertentu yang digunakan oleh sejarawan untuk membangun narasi sejarah. Tulisan ini membahas tentang bagaimana historiografi Indonesia mengeksklusi secara sistematis dunia maritim pantai barat Sumatera dan pulau-pulau di sekitarnya. Narasi besar sejarah Indonesia berada di daratan Sumatera, dan hampir-hampir tidak menyentuh dunia air dan pulau-pulau di sekitarnya. Dasar berpikir yang di-terapkan terinspirasi sebagian oleh prinsip-prinsip eksklusif dan inklusif secara historiografis yang dikembangkan oleh mereka yang kritis terhadap kanon sejarah nasional, dimana dunia maritim pantai barat Sumatera dan pulau-pulau di sekitarnya termasuk masyarakat yang ada di dalamnya diasumsikan secara historis tidak penting untuk mewakili Indonesia yang mondern, beradab, dan global. Tulisan ini terutama menggunakan sumber-sumber sekunder. Tujuan tulisan ini bukan untuk membuka perdebatan mengenai apa kenya-taan yang terjadi di dunia maritim pantai barat Sumatera dan pulau-pulau di sekitarnya, namun untuk menyatakan adanya marginalisasi dan eksklusi atas daerah tersebut beserta masyarakatnya, serta untuk menjelaskan  mengapa narasi nasional sejarah Indonesia mengkerdilkan dan mengabaikannya.

Abstract

Teacher quality is the most important factor in enhancing student achievement. In order to achieve the goal, lesson study comprises three main phases of plan, do, and see encourages teachers to do collaborative learning in which they create learning communities to discover, create, and negotiate new meanings to improve their teaching. Teachers at all stages of their careers could learn from one another. They could work together, discuss common teaching issues, share successful strategies, and develop new approaches to share problems. Organizing such networks of teacher in collaborative learning promotes an effective way to share pedagogical and content knowledge. In order to think productively about ways to enhance student learning, teachers need to consider both the material they are teaching and the ways that they are presenting it. Considering the importance of both of them, this study aims to know the impact of collaborative learning to teacher performance particularly in SD/MI Al Hikmah Semarang. By involving three model teachers conducting teaching and learning process, and six observers (teachers and lecturers) observing the teacher performance and student activities in the classroom conducted in two cycles, this study shows that collaboration among teachers increased their performance of teaching in which teachers emphasized using active engagement, appropriate learning designs, and application of theories on learning. The majority of teachers agreed that collaborative learning through lesson study helped their performance of teaching. Teachers who participated in collaborative learning had better achievement in their teaching performance rather than those who did not participate in collaborative learning.
