CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1

Background The students of Senior High School have options to choose their programs to lead them

in choosing the faculty in university. Three options in senior high school are science program, social program, and language program. It helps them study not too much in eleventh and twelfth grade. The condition of choosing the program in Indonesia is more people prefer choose science program to social and language program. Some reasons which appear because science program has wider chance to choose the faculty in university or because of many students want to be doctor. Although if we look deeply, social program also has benefit than science, such as many scholarships are prepared for the one who are very good in school to enter the university freely without any test. Then by easily get into the in to the university, it makes us easily continue our education or occupation. In SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang, there are only two programs, science program and social program. There is no language program. The number of science class in twelfth grade is six and the social class is only one. Then, in eleventh grade, the number of science program class is seven and the social class is also only one as the twelfth grade. This phenomenon happened since the first generation in SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang. The first generation only has two classes of social and the rest generations have a class of social. Science program always have more students than social program. Science program give the students a bigger chance in choosing their job in the future. The language program never exists in SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang because the direction in curriculum field think that they could also teach language in science and social program. So the language program is never held here. The big differences which appear between the science and social program lead me to do investigation about the eleventh graders interest in choosing the programs.

1.1 The Problem Formulation 1. How do programs influence students ambition? 2. How do the students choose the good program for them? 3. What should the students consider in choosing the program?

1.2 The Objective 1. To know how do programs influence students ambition. 2. To know how do the students choose the good program for them. 3. To know what should the students consider in choosing the program.

1.3 Significance of Study 1. For students in eleventh grader, as the consideration to choose the program. 2. For writer, to give more information about the condition of programs in SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang.

CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1

History of Programs Majors or Course offered at the level of secondary education is implemented in Indonesia

since the Dutch. HBS School which is a high school for European children, and AMS which is a high school for indigenous children the first time divided into 2 courses of Culture (Group A) and Science (group B). In subsequent periods of majors in the Indonesian system implemented since junior high, which was abolished in 1962. Systems majors then only known in high school with 3 kinds of departments, A (science), B (language / culture) and C (social). is experiencing change and specification in the subsequent periods, such as A1, A2, A3, and A4. Finally as now, naming the department no longer uses the symbol of the letters or numbers, but with the category of science, social studies, and language. (Kuncoro 2008:3 in http://indosdm.com/penjurusan-disma) Majors were introduced in an attempt to direct more students based on interests and academic abilities. Students who have the ability to exact science and good science, it usually will choose science majors, and who have an interest in social and economic social will choose majors, and who likes to speak will choose the language.

2.2

High School Program High school program in Indonesia divide the biggest subject into three programs, they

are: 2.2.1 Science Program Natural science program teaches students about physic, chemistry, and biology which we couldnt find it in social program and language program. This is the different between them. Every high school in Indonesia must be provided natural science program. Most of students also choose natural science program because, they thought natural science program provide more options to be chosen when they have reached university or when they are college. Another reason why most students choose this program is because most of them want to be a doctor. Then some wants to get scholarship. Natural science program provide more scholarship

than natural social program. But, the competition is also more than other programs. But there are also students choose natural science program because they could follow the lesson well. ( Bsed on Dian Purnama Cermat Memilih Sekolah Menengah yang Tepat)

2.2.2 Social Program Social program teaches the students about social, they are economy, geography, sociology, and history. Students could not find these subjects in natural science program and natural language program. The number of students which choose natural social program usually are fewer than the students choose natural science program. Because, the options of faculty to be chosen in university is a few than the number of faculty could be chosen if we are in natural science program. Natural social program also provide scholarship, so because the number of students or rivals are fewer than other programs, the competition will be easier to be won. Some students also choose this program because they could study and feel suitable with the lessons. (Based on Dian Purnama Cermat Memilih Sekolah Menengah yang Tepat)

2.2.3 Natural Language Program This program teaches us about language from the basic until the expert level. But, unfortunately language program now is seldom to be found. Because, the language lesson could be added to natural science program and social program. So, school thought they could not have to add one more program like natural language program. (Based on Dian Purnama Cermat Memilih Sekolah Menengah yang Tepat)

2.3

High School Program in SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang

2.3.1 Characteristics of SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang is a school which provides two programs, they are natural science program and social program. This school has more teachers in natural science program than in social program. The number of classes in natural science program in SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang has are six classes for twelve grade, and 7 classes for eleven grade. Then the number of classes in social program in SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang has are one class for twelve grade and also one class for eleven grade. This is the characteristic of SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang in program field.

2.3.2

Requirements of School Program Actually, students could choose their program by their own selves. But, teachers also give

recommendation to students which program they could choose based on their score from daily, examination, and the way they study. Teachers give more attention to students about the way they study, because when they look liked feel enjoy in studying natural science, the teachers probably recommend students to join natural science program. It is supported by their scores in daily and examination. And it also happened in natural social program. (Based on Dian Purnama Cermat Memilih Sekolah Menengah yang Tepat)

2.4

Interest Interest is a feeling or emotion that causes attention to focus on an object or an event or a

process. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interest_(emotion) 2006:1)

2.4.1 What Influences Interest Students choose their program because of the things which are available in their chosen program. Some interests then appear after they enjoy study in the tenth grade. Interest could also appear because some pushing which come from parents, friends, and also teachers. Our ambitions and faculty that will we choose in university also influence our wish to choose program. Many things appear could influence and be the reason why they choose their program. (Sekolah: mengajar atau mendidik? Oleh JIGM Drost SJ)

2.4.2 How to Increase Interest To add more students in a program, school should increase more interest in that program. How to increase the interest? School could provide more teachers which has excellent quality. Then, school could also provide more scholarship in a program, so students will be interest to enter that program. Because, scholarship give students easier way to be a college. They do not have to join any test to enter the university. They are some way to increase students interest to choose a program.
