OTOMATISASI PEKERJAAN GURU BERBASIS AUTOCRAT: MODEL PENDIDIKAN DAN PELATIHAN BERDASARKAN PENDEKATAN KONEKTIVISME

Abstract

In addition to having an obligation to teach students in the classroom, teachers also have various administrative tasks to carry out. Although this is not the primary function of a teacher, in practice, the teachers confront a variety of implementation challenges, which have an impact on their overall performance. Autocrat is a Google add-on feature that can be used to automate a variety of administrative activities for teachers. The purpose of this article is to propose a model of education and training (DIKLAT) enabling teachers to use Autocrat to automate their administrative duties. The model was developed with a connectivism paradigm, using data obtained from 59 teachers from various regions in Indonesia. Analysis of the technical challenges encountered, the need for practical solutions, an initial understanding of how Autocrat operates and the supporting tools, and the possibility for using Autocrat in carrying out everyday responsibilities as a teacher served are the foundation for developing the model. The adoption of the education and training model proposed in this article can help to improve teachers’ professionalism, particularly in terms of their technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) competencies, which are critical in today's digital age.
