In House Training (Iht) Model to Improve the Abilities of English Teachers in Developing Teaching Materials

Abstract

The Ministerial Regulation Number 16 of the year 2007 on academic qualification standards and teacher competencies requires teachers to demonstrate four competencies: personal, social, pedagogical, and professional. However, there are two competencies (pedagogical and professional) which become the stumbling obstacles for teachers of English in their professional involvement. Therefore, this study involving teachers in four districts in West Java was designed to aim at: (1) gathering background information and creating a conceptual framework for enhancing teachers' capabilities in developing and implementing teaching materials; and (2) designing a model of IHT to improve the ability of teachers to develop and implement the use of teaching materials. The method used in the data analysis adopted a qualitative design with reference especially to the theory of the development of teaching materials and the design of IHT. The results showed that most respondents tended to resort to the textbook as the primary source for students' learning activities, with some enrichment materials obtained from the Internet and other sources. Nevertheless most of the teachers were still found to encounter quite a few hindrances in developing their teaching-learning materials, appropriate to the topics as indicated in the syllabus and to the student characteristics. To alleviate this hurdle, the IHT model developed here for incorporation in a teacher training program could be an effective alternative to improve the ability of the teachers in developing their English teaching-learning materials.

Program evaluation of English language learning for EYL curriculum development in Indonesia: teachers’ perception, challenges, and expectation

“…In dealing with material development, Tomlinson (1998) contended that teachers should integrate attributes into the materials to enable language learning. Based on the same principle, educators must create instructional resources that can provide students with fulfilling educational experiences, considering both the region's cultural norms and the student's educational needs (Lengkanawati, 2015). According to Qamariyah (2015), teachers should develop the materials regarding the appropriateness of curriculum, learners' characteristics, and the requirements to answer the challenging teachinglearning process.…”

Pengembangan Modul ImutBerpoin untuk Meningkatkan Kompetensi ICT Guru SD

“…Sujoko, (2012) melalui penelitiannya menunjukkan keoptimalan pelatihan model IHT untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru, dimana pelatihan dengan model IHT dapat mengoptimalkan kompetensi guru dalam menyusun RPP, selaian keoptimalan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi model pelatihan tersebut memiliki fleksibelitas dalam penentuas lokasi dan waktu pelaksanaan. Sejalan dengan hasil penelitian tersebut Lengkanawati et al, (2015) melalui penelitianya menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan model In House Training dapat menjadi alternatif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan guru Bahasa Inggris dalam mengembangkan materi belajar mengajar Bahasa Inggris. Kristiana, (2017) menegaskan bawah model pelatihan IHT optimal digunakan untuk guru, karena selain dapat mengoptimalkan suatu kompetensi, model pelatihan IHT bersifat fleksibel dimana materi dan waktu pelatihan dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan guru.…”
