THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAM GUIDELINE FOR SPECIAL GUIDANCE TEACHER COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIAN INCLUSIVE SCHOOL

Abstract

The provision of inclusive schools in Indonesia requires the fulfillment of several aspects of inclusive education. Fulfillment of these needs include curriculum, facilities and infrastructure, teachers, and learning in accordance with the principles of inclusive education. Teachers in inclusive classes must have the competence to teach students with special needs. In addition, inclusive classes also require special guidance teachers as instructional design or as team teaching. However, this training program for special guidance teachers has not been developed in a general, comprehensive and integrated manner. So that in this article an education and training program was developed for the teacher competence development guidelines in Indonesian inclusive school. If every school requires at least one special guidance teacher, then at the elementary formal education level, junior high, high school and equivalent schools, the total number of special guidance teachers is 259,244 teachers. While for the kindergarten level the number of teachers is 85. 499 teachers. Competency Standards for Special Guidance Teachers refer to Minister of National Education Regulation No. 16 of 2007 - Academic Qualification Standards and Competencies of Teachers and Minister of National Education Number 32 of 2008 - Academic Qualification Standards and Competencies of Special Education Teachers. In general, there are four competencies that must be mastered by Special Guidance Teachers, namely Personality, Social, Pedagogic, and Professional Standards. The education and training list is divided into three main parts, namely general education and training subjects, basic training subjects and supporting training subjects. This program has not been validated and field tested. In the next step research, it is necessary to validate by experts and field testing to determine the level of validity and effectiveness of the program.
