Regulation No. 16/2007 concerning Academic
Qualification Standards and Teacher Competencies
(Marselus, 2011).
In the current globalization era, it cannot be
denied that teacher professionalism is a necessity
that cannot be delayed any more along with the
increasing competition. It is necessary for people
who are truly experts in their fields toplay a
maximum role in it. The Educational Personnel
Education Institution (commonly known as LPTK in
Indonesia) is a higher education institution that
prepares professional and competent educators.
Thus, LPTK has a very important role to improve
the quality of education.
The Teacher Training and Education Institute
(commonly known as IKIP in Indonesia) PGRI Bali
is one of the universities in Bali that organizes
academic education in educational disciplines. IKIP
PGRI Bali has 5 faculties, each of which is engaged
in different fields. The faculties include: (1) Faculty
of Education (FE), (2) Faculty of Language and Art
Education (FLAE), (3) Faculty of Education and
Social Sciences (FESS), (4) Faculty of Sports and
Health Education (FSHE), and (5) Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education
(FMNSE).
The Faculty of Sports and Health Education
(FSHE) has a study program namely Physical Health
and Recreation Education (PHRE) where the study
program prepares students to become a physical
education teacher. The final semester students
starting from semester 5 to semester 7 must have
prepared themselves to become a physical education
teacher. In preparing themselves, they must have the
ability to teach based on teacher competency
standards that have been set for a teacher.
Based on the results of observations made by
researchers on 9 October 2016, students of the
Department of Physical Health and Recreation
Education from Faculty of Sports and Health
Education starting from the 5
th
semester were
provided with the knowledge to make a lesson plan.
Skills in making lesson plans must be mastered by
students as an illustration of insctruction so that a
systematically structured learning is created. In
addition, students in the 5
th
semester must also take
the compulsory course, such as sports teaching and
learning interaction courses, sports learning
methods, management of sports classes, tests and
measurements, and evaluation of sports education.
In the 6
th
semester, students are given courses in the
form of teaching training in small groups called
microteaching. The microteaching course is a course
that aims to improve students' abilities and skills in
managing physical education learning by applying
certain teaching techniques. After enrolled in the
microteaching course, in the 7th semester, the
students of the education and training program in the
field are directly sent to schools in Denpasar to carry
out field experience practices. In implementing
experience practices, students are expected to be
able to apply the knowledge they have obtained
from the class.
With the various efforts that have been done by
the Faculty of Sports and Health Education to create
physical education teachers, it is expected that the
students of the Physical Education program will later
become competent and qualified teachers. In
addition, students are also expected to have teaching
skills with a strong and creative teaching so alumnus
of FSHE are able to create new innovations in
improving the quality of physical education to
become more attractive and developed.
Students of the health education study program
after graduating and earning a Bachelor's degree are
expected to be able to apply the knowledge gained in
their class to serve and educate young generations
through physical education. In fact, not a few
education graduates move to other institutions and
do not become physical education teachers. One of
the reasons that are because the wages or salary
offered, which is higher than being a non-permanent
teaching staff. This can be seen from FSHE
graduates who have achievements in sports and then
move to other institutions such as banks.
Based on the problems above, it can be seen that
there is a possibility that FSHE students in the
education and training program are not ready to
become competent physical education teachers.
Therefore this research seeks to address readiness of
the 2013 FSHE students in Physical Health and
Recreation Education program. This needs to be
done so that FSHE IKIP PGRI Bali can prepare
students of health education programs to become
competent physical education teachers before
entering the real practice. This area needs serious
attention from various parties involved.
