Curriculum Review of Teacher Professional Development Program Based on Biology Teacher Profile in Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge

Abstract

Teachers in Indonesia must follow Teacher Professional Development Program (PPG) for one year. This article reflects the curriculum of PPG through the TPACK profile of the graduates. TPACK is composed of Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), Content Knowledge (CK), and Technological Knowledge (TK) as proposed by Shulman. This research measured PK, CK, TK and PCK of biology teachers participated in PPG SM3T in the Biology Education Study Program in UNY to reflect on the curriculum of PPG. The respondents were fifteen biology teachers participated in PPG. The instruments were tests constructed based on the test of teacher competences test (UKG) and on the national biology Olympiad tests. The tests were conducted at the end of the program. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistic. The results indicate that PK, CK, and TK of the PPG participant scored 59.3, 52.9, dan 62.7 of scale 100. The results was similar to the results of National Teacher Examination (UKG) where biology teachers scored 62.0. The CK scored 26.2 for material of genetics of the national Olympiad. Therefore, the teacher competences on TPACK still need improvement. The curriculum of PPG that relayed meanly on PK should be adapted to the development of CK and TK.
