Overall, the result of interview shows that the
education background of entrepreneurship teacher at
school is varying from physics, chemistry,
mathematics, to Guiding and Counseling teachers.
There is no entrepreneurship subject teacher with
education background so that its learning
development is adjusted with the ability of
corresponding teacher. The effect of varying
education background is that the students consider
that the teachers cannot develop craft and
entrepreneurship subject.
Suryadi (2014) mentions that the professional
teacher will result in learning program that can
motivate the students to learn and can impact greatly
on the students’ achievement. Law Number 14 of
2005 about Teacher and Lecturer, in article 1 clause
1, mentions that teacher is a professional educator in
charge of educating, teaching, guiding, directing,
training, assessing, and evaluating the students in
early age child education of formal education,
primary education and secondary education. In
article 1 clause 2, it is mentioned that the teacher
serves as a professional personnel in primary,
secondary and early age child education in formal
education channel hired corresponding to the
legislations. Regarding teacher competency, as
included in Article 10, teacher should have four
main competencies: pedagogic competency,
personality competency, social competency, and
professional competency acquired through
professional education.
Teacher plays a very vital role because he/she
contributes to determining the students’ successful
learning, particularly in teaching-learning process.
Teacher should prepare the procedure of learning
process. The procedure includes planning,
implementation, and assessment. As an educator,
teacher serves as caretaker, forwarder, and translator
of value systems becoming the source of habit norm
prevailing in the society (Natsir, 2007).
The improvement of education, particularly
teacher competency, should be done continuously.
Mulyani (2011) mentions that the quality of process
can be achieved when the learning process runs
effectively and the students can conceive and
interpret the learning process. The quality of product
can be achieved when the students have ability of
mastering the learning task corresponding to its need
in life and work realm’s demand. The improvement
of teacher competency is important to ensure the
successful learning process that will have
implication to good learning product or outcome for
the students. It is refers to the Republic of Indonesia
Education and Culture Minister’s Regulation
Number 81A of 2013 about Curriculum
Implementation mentioning that the learning activity
should support the students’ growth and
development in order to have entrepreneurship spirit
and to have life competency. Thus, the students have
good capital to continue to the next education level
and/or to enter into work realm.
Considering the main problem in which the Craft
and Entrepreneurship teacher does not have craft and
entrepreneurship education background, Mulyasa
(2013) mentions that this education background
should correlate positively to education quality,
along with other factors affecting it; thereby it is
necessary to improve the teacher ability. The
attempts that can be taken to improve teachers’
competency are: to hold training and to establish
teacher network.
The development of education advance should be
followed with the improvement of teachers’ ability
and skill. Knowledge, skill and attitude of teacher
highly determine the learning process in education
class and process at school. The improvement of
teacher’s knowledge, skill and attitude can be done
through training channel. Sherman, Bohlander, and
Churden (Musfah, 2012) mention that training is the
process utilized by organization to change the
workers’ behavior, contributing to overall mission,
and personal and professional development of
individuals involved. Training can improve ability
and skill. The improvement of teacher’s skill can
have implication to support the teacher to develop
competency, to encourage to solve the problem
encountered and to help the teacher anticipate need
and problem, and to formulate policy and action plan
as suggested by Kydd (Musfah, 2012).
Therefore, from the elaboration above, training
should be held for craft and entrepreneurship teacher
as the solution to the school in the attempt of dealing
with varying education background of teacher.
Training becomes the school institution or related
institution’s attempt of preparing professional
teacher in entrepreneurship field. Training can be
another factor in the attempt of reinforcing the craft
and entrepreneurship education. This
entrepreneurship training is intended to give the
teachers the good understanding and perception on
the subject they assume. Training can also improve
teacher ability and/or skill, thereby having
implication to the improvement of teacher
competency.
The attempt that should be taken to improve
teacher competency is to improve the network of
subject teacher. Referring to the problem
encountered, that is, no Subject Teacher Discussion
