THE TEACHING EVALUATION OF GERMAN TEACHER IN MALANG

Abstrak / Ringkasan

Teacher?s self-evaluation is a way to guide teachers in identifying strengths and
weaknesses in learning. Improving teacher?s professionalism started by recognizing and
realizing the weaknesses in learning, and by a willingness to enhance self-competence.
This article is a result of a research that examined four domains that affect student
achievement, namely the strategies and teacher?s behavior in learning, planning and
preparation done before learning, reflection on learning, and collegiality that supported
teacher professionalism. This study aims at describing the strengths and weaknesses of
teachers in learning process, and describing the need for teachers to increase
professionalism in teaching. The data was obtained by an instrument in form of a
questionnaire of teacher?s self-evaluation. Respondents consisted of 28 senior high school
German teachers of the IGBJI Malang branch, 7 principals and their staffs. The
instrument used has been validated. The results showed that most of the teachers carried
out most of the components contained in the strategies and teaching behaviors and
implemented teaching planning and preparation. In teaching planning and in learning
process, however, teacher colleagues were still rarely involved for professional
development. Reflection on the learning process and planning is rarely conducted jointly
with colleagues. For further improvement of teacher learning, more intensive discussions
with colleagues, principals, and supervisors are required. Besides, teachers can observe
teaching process of other teachers, obtain feedback on learning not only from colleagues,
but also from principals and supervisors, and coaching done by the principal or learning
expert.
