Reconstruction of Professional Teacher Education Program
Abstract
The Professional Teacher Education Program (in Indonesia known as Pendidikan Profesi Guru – PPG) was developed by the teacher training university by referring to Teacher Education Standards which include educational standards, research standards, and community service standards. Article 17 (1) of The Act Number 12 of year 2012 concerning Higher Education states that professional education is a higher education after an undergraduate program that prepares students for works, which need special expertise requirements. Based on this article of The Act, the competencies of PPG graduates that should include four professional teacher competencies, which are professional, pedagogical, personal and social competencies, should be more than undergraduate’s competencies. However, do the material and evaluation systems currently show such a relationship? Besides that, the social, personal, professional and pedagogical abilities of the teacher are not abilities that are mastered separately but rather the overall integration of these abilities which shows the professionalism of the teacher. This article discusses the weaknesses of the current PPG program implementation and the efforts to reconstruct it to obtain a PPG program implementation system that takes into account the comprehensive and integrated competencies as learning outcomes of the program’s graduates.
