Pertemuan ke 2 Education Profession

Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Hamdan syukron lillah wasalatu wasalamu ala rasulillah. Amma ba'd. How are you guys? I hope you are always in good health, always healthy, and not only healthy in body and soul but also healthy overall. Okay. Well, today is our second meeting, yeah. In our second meeting, we will continue the material we covered in yesterday's meeting. After I explained in the first meeting yesterday, we will get to know each other about our study contract and our materials. Well, now we go into the second EE material, or the first material that we will discuss. Okay. Good. What's that? namely the urgency of becoming a teacher. So, what is the urgency or importance of being a teacher? How important is a teacher? Okay, yeah. Okay, now I'm sharing my screen. Okay, I'll try to make it full screen mode first, okay? Okay. Good. So, why are teachers important and how should a teacher act? Yes. Well, the teaching profession has a strategic role in education, right? So, this teacher is strategic. In fact, if we remember in the past, when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by atomic bombs and destroyed by them and their allies. Well, the Japanese emperor at that time when natural resources, human resources were exhausted, what was left was a little left, what was asked by the Japanese Emperor at that time. The question is how many teachers are left? And we see that because of the focus on teachers, teacher empowerment, and how teachers function as teachers, we can see that Japan is now very advanced. Why do we study education profession? Why do we have to study the profession of educator or teaching profession? like that. So, because the first one has a strategic role in education, as I have already mentioned, how is the case in Japan? Then the quality of education is very much determined by the quality of the teachers. Just because the teacher is good doesn't necessarily mean he's good. Even if the teacher is good, it doesn't necessarily mean that the students will be good. Not necessarily. Moreover, the teacher is not that good . Well, then it would be very ee what is it called? It's not good anymore. So, as our effort to achieve the quality of education, to maintain it, the quality of teachers is absolutely a must. And the third is that being a teacher is not just a job but a profession. What is the difference between a job and a profession? Yes, later we will discuss what we call jobs and professions. Being a teacher is a profession, not a job. You have to instill that. Many students do not yet understand the reality of the teaching profession. So, yeah, what comes to mind for most students? Wow, being a teacher is great. So as a teacher, we just teach like that, right? But the reality is not like that. Okay. Then it is necessary to form a mindset from the start as a prospective educator. So, all my friends, as educators or perhaps aspiring educators, must determine their mindset. Well, here we are talking about teachers in the context of professional teachers in formal institutions. If friends are perhaps teachers at mm or in courses, here perhaps the context will be different. What we mean are professional teachers in formal educational institutions . Okay. So, our discussion point is the urgency of the teaching profession overview. Okay, we have implemented that, ee, the urgency of the teaching profession, expectations versus reality, yes. What is the teaching profession like? What kind of expectations? Motivation to become a teacher, an overview of the journey to becoming a professional teacher. Okay, first of all, an overview of the course. we focus on the formation of teacher identity and professionalism. So, this is what I conveyed in the first meeting yesterday, not only how to teach but how to be a teacher. Not only how we teach but how we become teachers. So what is a good teacher like? The professional one. Integrating theory, reflection, and field reality. So being a teacher is an extraordinary profession. It's no less challenging and difficult, ee, compared to other professions, for example, the medical profession, right? The same thing we are dealing with is also human beings, so it is the same human beings that we are dealing with. Okay, next is the urgency of the teaching profession. Teachers as agents of social change. Yes, because of what? Because this teacher has a major milestone, plays a major role in this social change. Well, social change is achieved through education, right? If we educate them or our students well, we equip them with good social skills, then ee, including ee akhlaqul karimah, one of which is birul walidin, yes. So, God willing, God willing, this social change from bad to good will be implemented well, that's right. Okay. Second, shaping the character and future of the generation. Eah. This is very important. Let's imagine if our country didn't have any teachers, professional teachers, that's the context. What is it like? There are no formal schools, the schools are non-formal or informal. Well, it can be used to shape the character and future of the generation. Because in the past, uh, what was it called in our country? In the past, the profession of uh, teacher, wasn't a profession yet, right? So it's still ee what's it called ee there are many informal and non-formal ones so it's more of a misdirection there. Okay. Well, thirdly, it plays a role in improving the quality of education. Yes, that's it. So, if you want quality education, the quality of teachers must also be improved. And fourth, the challenges of teachers in the digital and globalization era. How is this teacher in this digital and globalization era? So, in this era of increasingly rapid technological development, whether we like it or not, the role of teachers must be optimized. That's why we need teachers because if we don't, globalization will come so fast, so it should . If this is not prevented or perhaps not handled by professional teachers, then this will be a disaster. Okay. Expectations versus realities of the teaching profession. So if we imagine that the teaching profession is fun, yes, but in reality they are burdened by administration. Have to do this, do that, have to submit this, submit that, like that. Don't imagine that teaching is fun, right? But in reality, you will find in classes where the students are annoying, the students are noisy, the students are, eh, what's the term, eh, they are poisonous, they poison their other friends. it is like that and you have to ee complete it as a professional teacher. Then what is it like ? Well, we will review that further later, okay? Then the expectations become the students' inspiration, yes. Even though our students come from various backgrounds, their characters are varied. So how can we inspire students when our students' characters are very diverse. Well, that's it. Then you need to be a professional teacher. Well, that's our hope for a noble profession. But after we become professional teachers, we have demands, namely professional demands and evaluations. This is a challenge for the teaching profession today. Okay, the next motivation to become a teacher is passion for teaching, the desire to share knowledge, job stability, and environmental influence. Yes, these are some of the motivations or reasons behind wanting to become a teacher. The first is that you have passion. Wow, why did I become a teacher? Ah, yes, because that's my passion. Because I want to teach like that. Well, there is also one, what is it called? His nature is to want to share knowledge, right? He's not passionate, actually he doesn't have a passion for it, but ah, it's a waste if I don't share my knowledge so that it can be useful . or maybe you consider this as a profession to earn a living, right? Job stability. This means that this job is related to how you make a living or make a living there. That. Well, there are environmental influences too. Wow, my father is a teacher, my mother is a teacher, my family is made up of teachers, all my surroundings are made up of teachers. If I didn't become a teacher, I would be embarrassed. Well, that's it. Well, now what is motivational awareness called? Awareness of your motivation You must be aware of what your motivation is for becoming a teacher. Because this awareness of motivation is important to form professional commitment. So, you have to determine what your motivation is for becoming a teacher. And when you have determined that the motivation is not good, you have to change it to a better motivation. So when your motivation is good, your intentions are good, well, the rewards will be multiplied , like that. Next, the journey to becoming a professional teacher. Well, this journey will be quite long , namely developing competencies. So pedagogical, professional, social, and personality competencies. These are the competencies you must have. Besides competence, in professionalism, content is also included , the content you have to learn, the material you have to study, you have to really understand it. Well, then understand professional ethics. Once you understand pedagogical, professional, social, your personality is good, yes. You also have to understand professional ethics, yes, how the profession of ee, what is this teacher, what is it called, is carried out like that, yes. Then follow continuous professional development. So the next thing is that you have to follow continuous professional development by attending workshops, seminars and so on. So don't be easily satisfied with what you have achieved. So a teacher must continue to learn. Because of what? Because when teachers continue to learn, there will be a lot to teach their students. Then the last one is facing the challenges of the world of education. The challenges are varied now. The era of globalization, the era of AI. Yes. So, for example, if you want to catch a thief, you have to know the science of thieves, the science of how to anticipate so as not to be theft. So. Well, that's also the case with current technological developments. If you want your students to use AI wisely, you must understand what AI is, how to use AI, and what its characteristics are . You have to understand about that, okay? Okay, so the conclusion is that becoming a teacher is a process, not an instant thing. So, the stages are long, not instant. This means that teachers are required to be a truly professional profession. This means that professionals can't play around. Everything has a process, and it's a long process. Okay, the teaching profession requires competence and commitment. This means that when you become a professional teacher, you must be competent , understand, and be able to develop the abilities that I mentioned earlier. And also commitment. What is commitment? Commitment is what you do that is in line with what you say. That's a commitment, right? So that commitment can be trusted. What you do, your actions can be trusted according to what you say, convey that. It is important to understand reality from the start. You have to understand that. Being a teacher, the teaching profession has its ups and downs. You should know that. Don't you dive into ee imagining something nice from ee this teaching profession. You also have to imagine less comfortable realities, right? Okay. Furthermore, every prospective teacher needs to have clear goals and identity . So what is your motivation? You have to clear it. When the motivation is not good, please change it into good motivation and ee it becomes your encouragement. Not only will it be successful worldwide, but it will also give you rewards in the end of the world . Amen. Okay, guys, here's the reflection. Please, you can answer . There are several questions. Why do you want to become a teacher? What kind of teacher do you want to be? Are you ready to face the challenges of teaching? Why? What makes a teacher professional in your opinion? Okay, please answer that later in the learning sim, okay? I will post on Sim learning in the second meeting. Okay, I think that's all for our meeting this time. Please feel free to ask any questions, just drop them in our learning sim in the comments later. Okay, that's all. See you, God willing, on the next occasion. Peace be upon you and Allah be upon you .
