TIPS MENJADI GURU YANG BERSINAR PADA MASA DEPAN
ABSTRACT: This article
provides a number of simple educational ideas promoted to enhance some core
competences of a Madrasah teacher which can be reached by two terms of
strategies : short term and long term strategies. The short term covers five
aspects. The first aspect which is defined as fundamental discusses the way how
a Madrasah teacher perceives his/her teaching profession, colleagues, students,
and issues on education. Having able to rethink these domains will lead him or
her know his or her positive and negative sides. Such understanding of both
sides should force him/her to have a strong commitment to enrich the positive
side, on one hand, and to diminish the negative one, on the other hand. Then, a
Madrasah teacher needs to reflect this commitment in his or her individual
competence to carry on learning and improving his or her technical capacity in
instruction. This may be one of the corner stones to develop himself or herself
to be able to implement the assignment responsibly. The capacity as a
professional teacher may also bring him or her to be well-informed figure whom
people around him or her will become to be enlightened. Next, this professional
teacher should not also set up in one or more comfort zones, such as typical
system and culture of organization, which make him or her enjoy the life as it
is, he or she is required to open his or her mind to look for new, more and
other challenging comfort zones in accordance with his or her future career.
After that, he or she should consider and internalize wisely ethical values
which are called as Islamic professional ethics as his or her spirit to carry
out his or her job. Finally, this distinguished post should listen to his or
her deepest voice of heart as well. These voices are about to put as his or her
inspiring component to be acted as effective as possible. The long term
strategy, however, merely emphasizes on one single aspect, that is the
importance of educational and training services. Once a madrasah teacher has a
paralleled background of study he or she may already have one valuable point.
His or her other capacity will be easily explored and served through a series
of appropriate trainings. The trainings are academically considered to be an
additional mean for his or her outshined career.
