Writer’s point of view

Cluster within-class is easy work, but students grouping otherwise. So appropriate method of students grouping must be accurately. One of the main argument against the students grouping is blank expectation to the students improvement; expert say that the aim of teaching program in all school are ; cognitive, affective and psychomotor. It means teaching process is not only focus on students knowledge achievement but also behavior reflections, how they act with their environment.

Labeling students with the ability means disobey the two teaching process goal as stated above. May be some programmers successfully to carry out some students grouping. But no wonder that the other programmers still run in place or failure with the program. Is there any compromise between the two expectation and demand? Big questions appears what expectation does the school need? and what demand does the school think?

Skill and power are the sharpen needs to reach successfully life. Skill without power is useless, on the other hand, power without skill as if life without principle. Therefore as the wise teacher both of them should be blend together. In the globalization era, many sophisticate tools affects students’ attitude whether it is directly or indirectly.
