PELATIHAN PENELITIAN TINDAKAN KELAS DALAM MENINGKATKAN KOMPETENSI GURU DI SMK NEGERI 3 JENEPONTO

Abstract

Improving teacher competence is a key factor in achieving quality education. One effective way to enhance teacher professionalism is through the implementation of Classroom Action Research (CAR). However, observations at SMK Negeri 3 Jeneponto revealed that many teachers still lack understanding of the concepts, procedures, and proper application of CAR. This has resulted in low teaching quality and a limited number of research activities conducted by teachers. In response to this issue, a community service team from the Accounting Education Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, State University of Makassar conducted a CAR training program aimed at improving teachers’ research competence and professional development. The program was carried out in five stages: (1) observation and problem identification, (2) socialization on the importance of CAR, (3) training on proposal writing and CAR implementation through lectures, discussions, simulations, and practical sessions, (4) mentoring in writing research reports, and (5) evaluation and follow-up for sustainability. The results showed a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding and skills in designing and implementing classroom action research. This activity demonstrates that hands-on, practice-oriented training effectively enhances teachers’ professional competence, fosters a research culture within schools, and contributes to improving the overall quality of learning at SMK Negeri 3 Jeneponto. Therefore, this program can serve as a sustainable model for teacher capacity building in vocational schools across the region.

ABSTRAK

Peningkatan kompetensi guru merupakan aspek penting dalam mewujudkan pendidikan yang bermutu. Salah satu cara efektif untuk mengembangkan profesionalisme guru adalah melalui penerapan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Namun, hasil observasi di SMK Negeri 3 Jeneponto menunjukkan bahwa banyak guru yang masih kurang memahami konsep, prosedur, dan penerapan PTK secara tepat. Hal ini berdampak pada rendahnya kualitas pembelajaran dan minimnya penelitian yang dilakukan oleh guru. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, tim pengabdian masyarakat Program Studi Pendidikan Akuntansi Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Universitas Negeri Makassar melaksanakan kegiatan pelatihan PTK sebagai upaya peningkatan kompetensi guru. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi lima tahapan, yaitu: (1) observasi dan identifikasi permasalahan, (2) sosialisasi pentingnya PTK, (3) pelatihan penyusunan proposal dan pelaksanaan PTK melalui ceramah, diskusi, simulasi, dan praktik langsung, (4) pendampingan dalam penulisan laporan hasil PTK, serta (5) evaluasi hasil pelatihan dan rencana keberlanjutan kegiatan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan guru dalam merancang serta melaksanakan penelitian tindakan kelas. Kegiatan ini membuktikan bahwa pelatihan berbasis praktik langsung mampu meningkatkan kemampuan profesional guru, memperkuat budaya penelitian di sekolah, dan menjadi langkah strategis dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di SMK Negeri 3 Jeneponto. Dengan demikian, hasil kegiatan ini penting untuk dijadikan model pengembangan kompetensi guru secara berkelanjutan di sekolah-sekolah kejuruan lainnya.
