Abstract

The teacher profession is very important as the spearhead in learning that creates students who have proficient abilities and skills as well as good attitudes in life. A competent teacher is certainly a reflection of continuous training and experience. One way to hone teacher competence in teaching is through peer teaching, known as peer teaching. Through this method, it is hoped that the teacher will have competence in teaching, especially in this study on the problem-based learning model where students are trained to solve problems based on the problems presented by the teacher. This research was conducted in October 2019 at SMP Negeri 11 Dumai with 22 teachers as research subjects. The instrument used was the teacher's activity observation sheet. The results showed that the pedagogical competence of teachers in the first cycle was 71.15 in the sufficient category and in the second cycle it was 81.09 in the good category. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the competence of SMPN 11 Dumai teachers in implementing problem based learning has increased through the peer teaching method.
