ABSTRAKRencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran merupakan panduan mengajar yang disusun guru dalam rangka mencapai tujuan pembelajaran. Namun, sebagian besar guru belum menyadari arti pentingnya Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran ini. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: faktor-faktor yang menjadi bahan pertimbangan guru saat menyusun Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran, kualitas penerapan Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran di kelas, dan tingkat penerapan Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran di dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran di kelas. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus dan dilakukan di kelas 10 dan 11 SMA Dian Harapan Jakarta. Data dikumpulkan dengan empat macam teknik: (1) angket yang diberikan kepada guru dan siswa, (2) wawancara dengan guru dan kepala sekolah, (3) telaah dokumen RPP, dan (4) observasi kelas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor yang menjadi bahan pertimbangan guru saat menyusun Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran adalah karakteristik siswa, tujuan belajar, kegiatan belajar mengajar dan materi pelajaran. Tiga kualitas penerapan Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran di kelas: (1) pelaksanaan pembelajaran di kelas berjalan dengan lancar, (2) kegiatan yang tercantum dalam Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran tidak diterapkan di kelas, dan kegiatan yang tidak tercantum dalam Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran terjadi di kelas. Tingkat penerapan Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran di dalam kelas tergolong tinggi. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari persentase kegiatan dalam Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran yang diterapkan di kelas adalah sebesar (81%). Oleh karena itu, pihak guru perlu terus membuka diri terhadap peningkatan kompetensi profesional guru. Kata kunci: Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran PENDAHULUAN"Guru yang sukses adalah guru yang bisa memahami masalah akademik dan profesional, seperti mengerti motif siswa, kepribadian, kemampuan, gaya berpikir dan belajar, serta tingkah laku sosial siswa" (Djiwandono, 2002:3).
