In knowledge-based era of globalization, the role and competence is the main, important, and strategic; and replace the main importance of the information or material. For that, each man must take a number of competency standards as a minimum to be able to think and act in life and the life of individual and joint. The establishment of minimum standards of competence that can be done through education, especially school education. In the era of globalization, the process of school education should be concentrated on the establishment of competencies needed by learners to the life and their lives. Therefore, schools need to be translated competency-oriented, competency-based curriculum, learning-focused competencies, and competency-based assessment. This demands the reform and reconstruction of schools, curriculum, assessment and learning and even without having to change the system of national education. Then be that the competency-based learning and competency-based assessment. . The competency-based assessment should be carried out in authentic, diverse, and comprehensive, not limited to tests in the classroom, but can the tasks and other activities outside the classroom.
Competency-based learning is very meritorious to restore practical-practical education that tends to conventional abstract, textual, verbal, artificial, and virtual. Practical competency-based learning emphasizes the students to recognize the value (logos), internalization of values into the conscience (ethics), and apply the values learned into the daily life of days . Implement competency-based learning process integrity knowing, loving and doing or acting. The concept of competency-based learning focuses on what students can do (competence) as the ability to behave, think, and act consistently as a manifestation of knowledge, attitudes, and skills acquired by students. Which places students as the subject of active learning to learn planning, or excavate and flatten the learning material is needed.
Quality of the competency include knowledge, know-how of life, beliefs and values become very important and key in the era of globalization, are only one of the new trend now and the future. Without a certain level of competence and adequate for the global life would be someone will be loser. Amount and number of information and materials owned by someone not sufficient anymore to be able to play a role in the life of the global (world system), which affect each other or together with other trends. The information and materials useful, if not many people can not afford analysis, process, giving meaning, and context so that a set of knowledge, skill, confidence, and value. This shows that the information and materials only basis for competence, while competence is the existent and the results of human "use" information and materials. So that every person charged has a power to establish competency. Competency that requires a very high motivation. Motivation is a psychological condition that encourage someone to do something. In learning activities, motivation intrinsic and extrinsic is necessary, because someone who does not have any motivation in learning, will not be possible to do learning activities.
Learning in a sustainable, ongoing, lifelong and very necessary so that the ability to learn a conditio sine qua non in every person. Each person must be a man of competence so that learners are still current, appropriate, functional, and with the actual needs and the activities of daily life. Teachers as agents capable of learning charged with organizing the learning process as well as possible. Start of plan, implement, and assess the results of the learning process. Article 4 of Law. 14 of 2005 on teachers and lecturers assert, as the teacher works to improve the quality of national education. To carry out its function properly, the teacher must have a requirement for, one of which is competence. Competencies defined Cowell (1988) as a finesse that is active. Competence is one piece that describes the potential, knowledge, skills and attitudes are assessed, and related to the teaching profession. In addition to competency, there must be commitment and dedication in maintaining a high school in order to keep winning. Commitment and dedication is seen from the behavior of teachers who constantly improve its ability to continue to learn throughout life, in order to develop the potential to become professional teachers.
Little explanation of the above, it can be concluded that the institutions responsible for school education and primary responsibility in implementing the establishment of competence-competence, not to forwarding the material. In Math, so English is also required on a competency therein. Expected to always develop from time to time so that stranded a readiness to confront global challenges.
