The Criteria of A Good
Teacher for Better Education in Indonesia
How important a teacher for our education? They who
think that education is the most important part of our life will say that a
teacher is a hero of education. A teacher has major contribution for our
education. He/She teaches students the knowledge that is important for their
future. There are some great persons because they have taught by the great
teachers. We have ever heard the popular saying, “Better than a thousand days
of diligent study is one day with a great teacher.” This statement shows us how
important a teacher is. A good teacher is one of the requirements that must be had
by Indonesia
for better education. A good teacher should possess knowledge, proper way of
teaching, and a good model for students.
The first thing that should be possessed by a good
teacher is knowledge. A good teacher must have knowledge about his/her subject
matter. By knowing his/her subject matter, a teacher will able to explain it clearly.
He/She should prepare the subject matter that will be explained to the students
and it should be prepared before the class. A good teacher will not teach the
students without knowledge about his/her subject matter. As an addition of
his/her knowledge, a good teacher must be sensitive to changes and developments
in science and technology. In the era of globalization, science and technology
always evolves. A good teacher has to update his/her knowledge to the
development of science and technology, so his/her subject mater will not be
outdated. To upgrade his/her knowledge, a good teacher should always study. It
means that not only students who have to study, but also a teacher.
Another criteria of a good teacher is having proper way
of teaching. In the process of learning, a good teacher must consider the
cognitive and affective aspects. A teacher shouldn’t be only concerned with the
cognitive aspect by teaching his/her students the materials from the books or
modules which are provided by the government. It may lead students to be
passive and not creative. They are also easily bored and will be not
enthusiastic about the lessons. To achieve the maximum learning process, a
teacher must consider the affective aspect by holding a discussion or practice.
He/She must also provide the opportunity for students to ask the questions. It
will make them be enthusiastic in learning process. To guide a teacher in
teaching, he/she has to have a lesson plan. It must refer to the standard of
competency that has to be achieved by the students. A good teacher will make it
at the beginning of school year and he/she will not copy it from another
teacher. To have the proper way of teaching, a teacher must focus on the
purpose of learning. The purpose of learning is to transfer knowledge to
his/her students and to make them be active in the learning process.
In addition, a good teacher has to give a good model for
students. It is because education is not only to transfer knowledge, but also
to transfer values. First of all, a good teacher should discipline. Before he/she
disciplines the students, he/she must discipline him/herself first. For the
example, he/she doesn’t be late attending his/her class. A good teacher also
doesn’t get angry easily. In fact, the students are not comfortable in learning
process if their teacher gets angry easily. They will be afraid to ask question
and be passive. It makes the condition is not conducive. Because of that, a
good teacher is a teacher who can control his/her emotion. The last, a good
teacher has great concern for his students. He/She knows who his/her students
are. He/She will help his/her students if they have any problems. It means that
he/she care with his/her students.
In conclusion, there are some criteria of a good teacher
that should be possessed by our teacher for better education in Indonesia. The
quality of education in Indonesia
will increase if we have many good teachers and also attain improvement of system and
facilities of education in Indonesia.
The government should provide several trainings for teacher to be a good
teacher. On a small scale, a good teacher will be loved by his students and
make them enjoy the class.
