Geographic education in the United States has experienced an unprecedented resurgence in the schools during the past two decades. There are several compelling reasons for a revival of the discipline, among them a thoroughly documented level of geographic illiteracy in the school age population that raised the ire of politicians, parents, and geographers alike (The Gallop Organization, 1988). This paper discusses the way that educational reform has addressed the problems facing geographic education on the eve of the new millennium. A successful approach to the issues necessitated being able to move geography education forward in three phases. They were: 1) awareness of the problems facing the discipline; 2) the development of rigorous content standards to guide geography education nationally, and 3) national and state assessments of student performance in geography and teacher preparation initiatives. The significance of each of the three phases is discussed within the context of geographic education within the United States.

The population is 349Government Junior High Schools in a region of ex Surakarta Residence. Total of samples frompopulation is 172 schools, using area probability sampling approach. To collect the data, weused closed questionnaire with Likert scale as the instrument. After all data collected, then weanalyze it descriptively with quantitative approach. The result shown that all the componentsof standards of national education, including content standards; process standards;competence of graduates standards; educational standards and human resource standards;facilities standards; management standards; funding standards; and assesment standards arefairly good.

This commentary highlights the contribution that careful and systematic analyses of curriculum or content standards can make to questions and issues important in the mathematics education field. We note the increased role that curriculum standards have played as part of a standards-based education reform strategy. We also review different methods used by researchers to compare and analyze the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, each method designed for a particular purpose. Finally, we call upon mathematics education researchers to engage in careful analysis of curriculum standards and to share their findings in ways that can inform public debate as well as support education professionals in improving student learning opportunities.

The Arabic learning process is directed to encourage, guide, develop, and foster students' Arabic language skills, Arabic language skills will also support students in understanding the sources of Islamic teachings, such as the Al-Qur'an and Hadith, and other books that use Arabic . In the Arabic learning process, it is expected that students will have good abilities in learning Arabic. To achieve the expected objectives, the Hiwar learning strategy is to use the Hiwar (conversation) method. The lesson material consists of fluency in speaking by using Arabic.This research is a field research in the form of descriptive qualitative research. Data collection was carried out by interview, observation and documentation. The data analysis used is descriptive in the form of secondary data and primary data. In analyzing the data, it begins with examining the data, after the data is collected then its contents are clarified and analyzed, then interpreted and concluded. The Arabic learning process at MAN 1 Payakumbuh has been implemented in accordance with the existing curriculum, based on Content Standards (SI) and Graduates Competency Standards (SKL), which explains that learning Arabic at Islamic Senior High School is a process of activities directed at encouraging, guiding, develop and develop fushha Arabic language skills, by prioritizing the ability to read and understand reading material. The ability to speak and compose sentences is aimed at strengthening reading skills, which is the main goal of learning, namely the ability to communicate as well as a provision for understanding Islamic teachings from the original sources, namely Al-Quran and Al-hadith. The conclusion of this study is that it turns out that students are still not able to carry out good faith in Arabic and cannot use it in daily conversations, because the learning strategies used are still not optimal due to the lack of media and supporting infrastructure that support the learning process of Hiwar. So that it hasn't got maximum results.

The National Education Standard is one of the government's efforts to achieve equitable quality education. National Education Standards include eight outcomes, namely Graduation Competency Standards, Content Standards, Process Standards, Assessment Standards, Educators and Educators Standards, Facilities and Infrastructure Standards, Management Standards, and Financing Standards. This research was conducted to classify elementary and junior high schools in Indonesia based on SNP using the Fuzzy C-Means method. Prior to the cluster analysis, the missing value imputation was carried out using regression. The variables that have the lowest median and average value are the standard variables of educators and education personnel, while those with the highest value are the process standards. Based on the results of grouping using C-Means, the optimum number of clusters is four clusters with the most members being cluster 1 (the best cluster). Keywords: Education; Clustering; Fuzzy C-Means; imputation missing value
