ABSTRACT:
The problem of this research is that there are
still many teachers who are not yet professional because teachers are the
spearhead of a nation's progress. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of education, status, certification, and age of junior high school
teachers in North Jakarta. The population in this study were all teachers in
North Jakarta. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of
documentation and questionnaires. In order to get an accurate assessment, the
assessment of the results of the questionnaire is carried out with a
descriptive quantitative assessment. The results showed that there were still
many teachers with 334 high school levels, 2328 assistant and honorary
teachers, and 2013 who had not been certified, and there was still a lack of
young teachers. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that public
schools in North Jakarta need to increase the level, status, and certification
of teachers, and that there should be age considerations in accepting teachers.
Keywords: Professionalism

INTRODUCTION
Educators
must have academic qualifications and competencies as learning agents,
physically and mentally healthy, and have the ability to realize national
education goals. The academic qualifications referred to above are the minimum
level of education that must be met by an educator as evidenced by relevant
diplomas and/or certificates of expertise in accordance with applicable laws
and regulations. Teachers have several important roles, namely being agents of
reform and development as well as improving quality and equalizing access to
education for students. The tasks assigned to the teacher will be carried out
more smoothly if the teacher has professional competence.
Law
number 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, article 1 explains that
teachers have a position as professionals at the levels of basic education,
secondary education, and early childhood education in the formal education
pathway who are appointed in accordance with statutory regulations. Article 2
explains that the recognition of the teacher's position as a professional as
referred to in paragraph (1) is proven by an educator certificate. This law has
consequences for all teachers to be certified educators so that they get the
title of professional teacher, without exception for teachers in rural areas.
The
teacher certification policy is conceptually very good for increasing teacher
competency in Indonesia. However, the unequal geographical conditions have
resulted in regional development not being evenly distributed throughout the
countryside, resulting in disparities in the quality of education, both for
teachers and students. Differences in environmental conditions between big
cities and small towns, or even further with rural areas often lead to a sense
of unfairness towards the implementation of uniform policies. The completion of
the teacher certification program faces major challenges because there are
still many teachers who do not have a minimum education qualification of S1 or
D4.
Based
on the conditions above, namely the low number of public junior high school
teacher education staff in the North Jakarta area, we tried to research the
"Mapping of North Jakarta Middle School Teachers"
LITERATURE REVIEW
Resource
The implementation of educational institutions in any country in the world
is seen as a program of strategic value. This is based on an assumption that
the educational process is a process that is deliberately carried out solely
for the purpose of educating the nation. Through the educational process
individual figures will be formed as human resources who will play a major role
in the nation and state development process. Therefore the role of education is
very important because education is the main key to creating quality human
resources. The relationship between the educational process and the creation of
human resources is a logical relationship that cannot be separated.
This is in accordance with the notion of education itself. Mc. Donald gives
a formula about education: "... is a process or an activity which is
directed at producing desirable in the behavior of human beings."
Education is a process or activity that aims to produce changes in human
behavior. In simple terms, changes in behavior that occur are caused by changes
in three elements including cognitive, affective and psychomotor elements
(Bloom's Taxonomy). Mangkunegara (2001:67)
performance is the result of work in quality and quantity achieved by an
employee in carrying out his duties in accordance with the responsibilities
given to him. The level of employee performance is closely related to the
reward system implemented by the institution/organization where they work.
Inappropriate rewards can affect performance improvement, in carrying out their
duties a teacher needs to have three basic abilities so that performance is
achieved as follows:
1. personal abilities include physical things
such as looks, voice, eyes or views, health, clothing, hearing, and
psychological things such as humor, friendly, intellect, patient, polite,
diligent, creative, confident, optimistic , critical, objective, and rational;
2. social skills include being open,
disciplined, dedicated, responsible, helpful, constructive, orderly, fair,
forgiving, honest, democratic, and loves students;
Professional abilities as formulated by P3G which include ten (10) teacher
professional abilities, namely: mastering the subject areas in the school
curriculum and mastering study material/applications for study, managing
teaching and learning programs, managing classes, using media and resources,
mastering educational foundations , managing teaching and learning
interactions, assessing student achievement for educational purposes, familiar
with the functions and counseling guidance programs, familiar with and
implementing school administration, understanding the principles and
interpreting the results of educational research for teaching purposes
according to Sanskrit: which means teacher, but the literal meaning is
"heavy" is a teacher of a science. In Indonesian, teachers generally
refer to professional educators with the main task of educating, teaching,
guiding, directing, training, assessing and evaluating students.
The term teacher professionalism is certainly not something foreign to the
world of education. In simple terms, professional comes from the word
profession which means position. A professional person is a person who is able
to carry out the duties of his position in a qualified manner, both
conceptually and practically. A professional teacher is a teacher who has the
ability to carry out the duties of a teacher's position. When reviewed more
deeply, there are several characteristics of teacher professionalism.
Rebore (1991) suggests six characteristics of
teacher professionalism, namely: (1) understanding and acceptance in carrying
out tasks, (2) willingness to cooperate effectively with students, teachers,
parents, and the community, (3) the ability to develop vision and continuous
job growth, (4) prioritizing service in assignments, (5) directing, suppressing
and cultivating student behavior patterns, and (6) implementing the office code
of ethics. Meanwhile, Glickman (1981) provides characteristics of teacher
professionalism from two sides, namely the ability to think abstractly
(abstraction) and commitment (commitment). Professional teachers have a high
level of abstract thinking, namely being able to formulate concepts, capture,
identify, and solve various kinds of problems encountered in assignments, and
also have a high commitment in carrying out assignments. Commitment is a strong
will to carry out tasks based on a full sense of responsibility. Furthermore,
Welker (1992) argued that teacher professionalism can be achieved if the
teacher is an expert (expert) in carrying out the task, and always develops
himself (growth). Glatthorm (1990) suggests that in
looking at teacher professionalism, in addition to ability to carry out tasks,
it is also necessary to consider aspects of commitment and responsibility
(responsibility), as well as independence (autonomy).
Talking about teacher professionalism, of course, cannot be separated from
the teacher professional development activities themselves. Broadly speaking,
teacher professional development activities can be divided into three parts,
namely: (1) intensive development, (2) cooperative development, and (3)
self-directed development (Glatthorm , 1991).
Teacher Certification
According to Supardi (2009: 61-62), teacher
certification is a necessity, because various problems related to teachers are
found, such as: the low quality and relevance of education and according to
data from the Directorate General of Education Quality of Educators and
Education Personnel shows that from around 2.05 733,881 new million teachers
(state and private) with qualifications above D-3 are entitled to
certification.
Certified teachers at least go through further education, to obtain good
knowledge again. Therefore, educational status is needed to improve education
in schools.
Teacher Age
The definition of age according to experts is the life span of a human
being. The influence of age on humans is very closely related to the ability of
what educators do, while the influence of age can cause various problems, both
biologically, mentally and economically. As a person's age increases, physical
abilities will decrease, so that it can cause a decline in social roles. Based
on Law Number 14 of 2005 concerning teachers and lecturers, it is emphasized
that the minimum retirement age for teachers is 60 years. In this regard, the
retirement age limit for Civil Servants (PNS) as stipulated in Government
Regulation Number 32 of 1979 is 56 years. Whereas for civil servants who are
appointed to the functional position of teacher, the regulation is based on the
Law on teachers and lecturers, namely 60 years.
RESEARCH METHODS
The
research method used is descriptive quantitative method, because the research
was carried out in natural conditions (natural setting). Descriptive research
is a form of the most basic research. Intended to describe or illustrate
existing phenomena, both natural phenomena and human engineering. In addition,
the research data is more concerned with the interpretation of the data found
in the field. in quantitative research is "a research procedure that
produces descriptive data in the form of numbers and words." Data analysis
techniques were used by Miles and Hubermen, namely by
following a flow model: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and
drawing conclusions/verification. Data analysis in research is based on the
approaches, methods and techniques used, which are then developed and modified
according to research needs. The data analysis was carried out in the following
way.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the results
of data tabulation carried out on the four aspects assessed, they can be seen
below:
1.
Assessment
of the Educational Level of Teachers
The assessment of the status of teachers consists of four items as shown below. From
the results of Figure 2. below it gives meaning, including aspects of education
level or status of junior high school teachers in the North Jakarta area for
senior high school = 9%, S- 1 = 84%, S-2 = 7%, S-3, 3 teachers out of 3,831
teachers in the North Jakarta area. Even though the number of S-1 teachers is
3,234, there are still 334 teachers who are still in senior high school. This
needs to be improved to make it better.

Figure
2. Status of Teachers
2. Assessment of the Status of Teachers
The assessment of the status of teachers consists of four items as
shown below, Figure 3. Below gives meaning including the aspects of teachers
for civil servants, from the results obtained 31%, and 3% auxiliary teachers,
Honor teachers 58%, and non-permanent teachers 8% even though civil servant
teachers are 31% but contract teachers and assistant teachers are 61%, so the
government must process teachers to become civil servant teaching staff (PNS).

Figure
3. Status of Teachers
3. Assessment of Certification
Figure 4. Of the total SMP teachers in the North Jakarta area,
totaling three thousand eight hundred and thirty one (6336) certified SMP
teachers, 47% of the teachers are quite good, but for auxiliary teachers who
are not yet certified, they must be certified immediately so they have better
teaching skills.

Figure
4. Teacher Certification
4. Assessment of Teacher Age
Regarding the age
of the teachers, there are still at least 38% of the young people who become
teachers, the government must increase the number of
teachers who are young so that the work process has more power to work than
those aged over 40 years and over.

From the survey
results in the table above, it can be concluded that it is very encouraging,
but the level or quality of teacher education in North Jakarta must always be
increased. Therefore, the government is expected to provide more space for
teachers to develop their interests and talents to continue their education so
that it is better for the teacher personally, the institution, and the nation.

Figure 6. Results of all variables
CONCLUSION
North Jakarta education staff covering the
aspects of status, age, certification, and education level of teachers showed
that in general North Jakarta teachers had a bachelor's degree, 84%. however,
there are still 9% who have high school education, this must always be
improved. Even so, youth who have the potential to become educators must be
given the widest possible opportunity. As for the status for teachers who are
still assistant teachers, they must be appointed as civil servants as soon as
possible. And what is no less important for teacher certification must always
be processed to become professional teachers.
