DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHER PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY AT THE UPGRADED MIDDLE EDUCATION UNIT LEVEL IN SOUTHEAST SULAWESI

Abstract

The concept of development in a teacher is placed in the concept of learning at work (workplace learning). The shift of the professional development paradigm to professional learning and finally achieving continuous authentic professional learning must transform into a teacher. This research focuses on studying teacher professional development skills after obtaining professional teaching allowances through the teacher certification program. The research results show that in the domain of social competence and personality, it provides a reasonably good response, but in terms of pedagogic and professional competencies, it has not given optimal results. Some indicators that need to be intervened are the context of mapping competency standards and essential competencies in order to identify learning material that is considered difficult, learning that contains appropriate and up-to-date information, carrying out specific self-evaluation, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
