Summary
We certainly have a desire to present the best learning for our students, a learning activity that can give every student an opportunity to learn well. Pedagogic competence is a special competence, which will differentiate teachers from other professions and will determine the learners’ level of success in their learning process. This competency is not obtained suddenly but through continuous and systematic learning efforts, both during pre-service (teacher education) and during service, supported by the talents, interests and other potentials of each individual teacher concerned. What if there are still teachers whose educational qualifications are not in accordance with the area of expertise of the teacher, even the educational qualifications have not met the minimum requirements of a teacher. This is a fact that happens to most teachers in remote areas such as teachers on the island of Bawean, Gresik, Indonesia
