 
does not always learn from his experience, when: (1) 
the person believes  that  the  world  will  not  change 
with his being, (2) is too busy to think about what he 
does,  fears  the  impact,  or  his  position  is  not  to 
understand the situation, and (3) to be in a  chaotic 
situation. The second category is people learn from 
experience but not reflective. This occurs when: (1) 
learning does not involve self-awareness, (2) learning 
is  technical  without  involving  the  interaction  of 
learners  with  learning  objects,  (3)  learning  is 
memorization (rote). The third category is that people 
learn  from  cultural  reproductive  experiences.  This 
occurs when: (1) there is a process of thinking about 
experiences  and  drawing  conclusions  from  that 
experience, without  having to relate them to larger 
social contexts, (2) reflection work practices, (3) what 
is  known  from  various  theories  /  concepts 
implemented then searching  new knowledge of the 
practice. 
3.3  Develop the Involvement of PTK in 
the Implementation of School 
Programs and Activities 
PTK  involvement  in  school  management  capacity 
building is a process to represent the interests of all 
school  stakeholders  in the  implementation  of  work 
programs and school activities. The extension of PTK 
involvement  is  done  by  strengthening  the  way  of 
thinking about: who are the school stakeholders, what 
are  their  interests  to  be  facilitated,  and  how  to 
facilitate their  interests  materialized  in the  form of 
school services? The involvement of PTK in various 
school programs and activities as a process of school 
management capacity building is linked to the PTK's 
commitment to its profession as an educator.  
Involved  employees  can  help  improve 
decision  quality  by  recognizing  problems 
more  quickly  and  defining  them  more 
accurately.  Employees  are,  in  many 
respects,  the  sensors  of  the  organization’s 
environment.  When  the  organization’s 
activities  misalign  with  customer 
expectations, employees are usually the first 
to  know  (McShane  and  Von  Glinow, 
2008:hlm. 238). 
Decision making by PTK in determining a school 
activity is based on a strong rationale. The process of 
finding  a  solid  foundation  is  conducted  through  a 
dialogue process between the PTK and this process is 
the  process  of  developing  the  school  management 
capacity  for  the  PTK.  Nevertheless,  the 
implementation  of  school  work  programs  is 
responded by PTK in a variety of ways, some even 
showing negative responses. Differences in responses 
that  appear  in  the  dialogue  among  the  PTK  are 
considered to be school people as a natural thing. In 
this case the Principal facilitates a negative response 
from the PTK through the formation of discourse in 
the  chat  between  the  PTK.  This  discourse 
development process provides capacity building for 
schoolchildren  in  taking  change  initiatives  when 
school management faces problems. In this case, Stoll 
(2010: 475) sees dialogue as a process for achieving 
PLC: 
Dialogue  is  a  critical  community  process, 
although  difficult  to  achieve,  because  all 
participants play equal roles, suspending their 
individual  assumptions  as  they  enter  into  a 
genuine  thinking  together  (Senge,  1990).  In 
connecting  learning  communities,  dialogic 
processes  are  oriented  towards  articulating 
and  exploring  members’  tacit  knowledge 
(Nonaka  &  Takeuchi,  1995).  Through 
dialogue,  presuppositions,  ideas  and  beliefs 
are  brought  to  the  surface,  examined  and 
challenged.  Collective  intelligence  is 
harnessed,  and  new  ideas  and  practices  are 
created  as  initial  knowledge  is  enhanced  or 
transformed. 
According  to  Stoll,  through  dialogue,  what  is 
assumed, echoed, is discussed to the surface so that it 
becomes clear and more tested to be implemented in 
school.  Stoll  (2010:  476)  also  describes  that  joint 
discovery is one of the key learning processes.  
Collaborative  inquiry  is  a  key  learning 
process,  where  learning  and  inquiry  are 
facilitated,  encouraged,  challenged  and  co-
constructed (Jackson & Street, 2005). Inquiry 
can be the means by which teachers identify 
important issues  related to  learning, become 
self-regulated  drivers  for  acquiring  the 
necessary  knowledge  to  solve  the  issues, 
monitor  the  impact  and  adjust  practice  as 
necessary  (Timperley,  Wilson,  Barrar,  & 
Fung, 2008). 
Efforts and processes of schoolchildren in trying 
new things in the implementation of school programs 
and  activities  are  realized  when  schoolchildren  get 
new information and they assess the information as a 
good  thing  and  can  be  implemented  in  school, 
whether  obtained  from  colleagues  or  outside  of 
colleagues. The efforts and processes of the school 
community to try new things in the implementation 
of school programs and activities are categorized as 
follows, namely: school out activities and activities 
within the school. Out-of-school activities that show 
attempts at new things are sister school programs. At
