Further, according to Vernon Smith, traditional education based on several assumptions that are generally acceptable to the people even though it is not accompanied by proof of reliability or validity. For example: 1). There is a collection of certain important knowledge and skills that must be learned kids; 2.) the best place for most children to study the elements of this is the formal school, and 3). the best way so that kids can learn is grouping them into classes that are assigned based on their age (Vernon Smith, in, Paulo Freire, et al, 1999:165).
That has been said Vernon Smith is also experienced by Islamic education in Indonesia until this decade. For example: most boarding school, Madrassa, and Islamic educational institutions others still adhere to the old system, the curriculum is the set of packages that have to be resolved, the curriculum was made without or very little context or relevance to the social conditions of society even little memperhatika and anticipate the changing times, a system of learning-oriented or centered on the teacher.
