Learning Achievement



INTRODUCTION
Learning is brought changes (in terms of behavior changes, actual or potential). That change is principally the acquisition of new skills and the change occurred because no effort (on purpose). Learning achievements are the results achieved by someone after he made the change to learn, both at school and outside of school. Have more or less sense of achievement is a standard test to measure the skills or knowledge to a person in one or more of the lines of work or study. In the dictionary of popular achievement is the result of something that has been achieved.
There is an error in our education, is still a lot of education that only brain-based education prioritizes education. That is still a lot of education in this country who only see success-failure of an education of the value of learning outcomes alone, without seeing how the child's emotional, psychological child, and morals of the child.
Chapter 1. Factors that Affect Learning
 

A.Definition of Learning Achievement

The term learning achievement consists of two syllables, namely belajar.Istilah accomplishments and achievements in the Dictionary of Popular Science (AdiSatrio, 2005: 467) is defined as the results that have been achieved. Noehi Nasution (1998: 4) concluded that learning in the broadest sense can be defined as a process that may lead to or changing a behavior as a result of the formation of the primary response, provided that the changes or the emergence of new behavior was not caused by their maturity or by the temporary changes for any reason.
In Big Indonesian Dictionary, argued that the definition of learning achievement is "mastery of knowledge or skills developed by the subjects, usually indicated by test scores or numeric values assigned by the teacher". According WSWinkel learning achievement is the success of one's business achieved after obtaining a learning experience or learn something.
According Slameto (1998: 56) argues that there are several factors that affect the learning achievement of many kinds but can be classified into two: internal factors and external factors. In detail, these factors are as follows:
Chapter 2. Internal Factors and External Factors


B. Relationships Learning Achievement In Psychology, The View of Islam, and Physics

1.    The view of Psychology
According WSWinkel learning achievement is the success of one's business achieved after obtaining a learning experience or learn something.
2.    The view of Islam
Conception of Islam is a balance between the achievements of the world and the hereafter. Even the achievements of the world is for achievements in the hereafter. In this context it can be understood conception of the Koran letter of 28 Al Qasas paragraph 77:


Which means: "And look at what God has given to you (happiness) in the Hereafter, and do not forget bahagianmu of (enjoyment) world and do good (to others ) as Allah has done good, unto you, and do not mischief on the (face) of the earth. Allah loves not those who do mischief. "
So, it became clear that achievement in view of the psychology of Islam is that if the achievement of the intended success, processed and obtained in accordance Islamic faith inseparably between this world and the hereafter.
3.    The view of Physics
In physics, work is a force that is performed on an object and cause it to move. The work done is proportional to the magnitude of the force and displacement. Likewise with the achievements, the more work we do like to learn, the greater the displacement that we get in the form of achievement.
W= F x s
W =
work (study)
F = force
s  = displacement (achievement)

C.Evaluation of Learning Achievement

Term evaluation or assessment is as translations of foreign terms "Evaluation". And as a guide, according to Benjamin S. Bloom (Formative and Sumative Handbook on Evaluation of Student Learning) stated that: Evaluation is gathering enough evidence to then be used as the basis for determining the presence or absence of change and degree of changes that happen to students or children learners.
Evaluation means the assessment of the success rate of students achieving the goals set in a program. In other words commensurate with the evaluation and frequently used word to replace the word evaluation is test, test and repeat. The term evaluation is usually used to assess student outcomes at the end of a certain education level, such as the National Final Stage Evaluation Study (EBTANAS) which is now called the National Final Examination (UAN). Learning activities should be held evaluation. This is important because with the evaluation we can know whether the learning objectives that have been set can be achieved or not.
As for the aspects of personality that must be considered is the object in the implementation of the evaluation, according to Nasrun Harahap, are as follows:
1.    The aspects of thinking, including: intelligence, memory, how to interpret the data, and basic instruction, and logical thinking.

G.    Questions about The Learning Achievement

1.      In Indonesia, the evaluation through the UAS or the UN. How does speakers as assessors to see the difference between the appraisal value of grades with the UN?
2.      What good test according to the speakers?
3.      Before the UN there is a school exam to boost the value of a small UN (manipulation of the value). How do the opinions of the speakers?
Answers:
1.      Assessment of student learning outcomes that can be done educator feedback learning process both for educators to improve teaching methods and strategies as well as for students to improve learning.
The difference between the appraisal value and the value of the UN report cards are different, from year to year, the system was different. This year 40% of the value of the UN and the 60% value of report cards.The assessment system this year better than the previous year.
2.      We see from the condition first and we can know what test is best used.
3.      Leverage value that occurs in almost every school is not good, should graduation be seen from the potential of learners is not seen from the value. Leverage occurs because the system of government which wants students graduating with a value that has been targeted. Causing teachers or school authorities to manipulate the values ​​to learners pass. Because if you do not like that many learners who did not pass, which will embarrass the school and teachers.

H.    Conclusions

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that the learning achievement level of humanity is possessed by students in accepting, rejecting and assessing information - information in accordance with the level of success in learning the subject matter is something, which is expressed in the form of grades or report cards every field of study after experiencing the learning process.
