ABSTRACT

The teacher certification program for practicing teachers has been implemented since 2007 as an effort to set standards and increase the quality of teachers. Teacher certification was carried out through portfolio assessments for civil servant and non-civil servant teachers with a minimal educational background of an undergraduate degree or four-year diploma, who teach in preschools, primary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools. Teachers deemed to pass will receive an teaching certificate, teacher registration number, and professional allowance to the value of one month’s basic wage.

In order to understand the 2007 teacher certification implementation process, and as lessons learned for the improvement in program implementation, in 2008 The SMERU Research Institute conducted a study of teacher certification in six kabupaten (districts)/kota (cities) in three provinces. The research uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. In general the results indicate that implementation of teacher certification has had several weaknesses. There are still obstacles in horizontal coordination between institutions, socialization of the program varies, and the information disseminated has not been complete; the total quota between study areas was not proportional to the number of teachers who fulfilled the conditions; in a limited number of cases there are indications of deception in the determination of participants; there were reports of deception in the compilation of portfolios; participants who passed have not received registration numbers and only a few have received teaching certificates; and payment of the professional allowance has been held up.

Certification’s impact on increasing the quality of teachers is still in question. However, the program encourages teachers to actively pursue various activities and teachers who do not yet fulfill the criteria are encouraged to increase their education to the undergraduate degree level.

Key words: teacher certification, program evaluation, program impacts

ABSTRAK

Sertifikasi Guru dalam Jabatan dilaksanakan Depdiknas sejak 2007 sebagai upaya menetapkan standar dan meningkatkan kualitas guru. Sertifikasi guru dilakukan melalui penilaian portofolio terhadap guru berpendidikan minimal S1/D4, baik PNS maupun non-PNS tingkat TK, SD, SMP, dan SMA/SMK swasta dan negeri. Guru yang dinyatakan lulus akan memperoleh sertifikat pendidik, nomor registrasi guru, dan tunjangan profesi sebesar satu kali gaji pokok.

Dalam rangka mengetahui proses pelaksanaan sertifikasi guru 2007 dan sebagai bahan pelajaran bagi perbaikan pelaksanaan program, pada 2008 Lembaga Penelitian SMERU melakukan studi sertifikasi guru di enam kabupaten/kota di tiga provinsi. Penelitian menggunakan kombinasi metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Secara umum hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan sertifikasi guru mempunyai beberapa kelemahan. Koordinasi horizontal antarlembaga masih terkendala, sosialisasi program bervariasi, dan informasi yang disampaikan belum menyeluruh; jumlah kuota antarwilayah studi tidak sebanding dengan jumlah guru yang memenuhi persyaratan; dalam jumlah terbatas terdapat indikasi penyimpangan penetapan guru peserta; terdapat laporan penyimpangan pembuatan portofolio; peserta yang lulus belum menerima nomor registrasi dan hanya sedikit yang sudah memperoleh sertifikat pendidik; dan pembayaran tunjangan profesi tersendat.

Dampak sertifikasi bagi peningkatan kualitas guru masih menjadi pertanyaan, namun program ini mampu mendorong minat guru untuk aktif mengikuti berbagai kegiatan dan guru yang belum memenuhi persyaratan terdorong untuk meningkatkan pendidikan hingga meraih gelar S1.
