Abstract:
National Examination is education government policy to determine the standard of the quality of education in Indonesia that always gets the attention from the people as if they are all also involved in it. National Examination can be seen as the way to standardize the students? intellectual competence. National Examination releases the science?s alignment and claims itself as the measuring standard by choosing some subjects; for example Mathematic, Natural Science, and Bahasa; even though the student?s interest and competence are various and differs from one another. As the consequence, the students who do not pass these subjects are recognized as the fool students. This study aims to find the way the disciplinary works towards the people as the power internalization. This study will use the theory of archeology and genealogy by Michel Foucault to answer the problem above. This study uses qualitative method that supported with the data of some electronic news that discuss about the phenomena as the effect of National Examination discourse. The result of this study shows that the disciplinary works through the regulations from the government and the reproduction of some discourses about National Examination that can be seen by the people through the media. All of them are internalized by the people and aim to shape them to discipline towards Positivism Logic. In other words, the regulations and the discourse of National Examination aim to maintain and perpetuate Positivism Logic.
