Abstract

A great teacher is a teacher who is able to position himself/herself as a noble person by carrying out his duties professionally. The professionalism of teachers will be directly proportional with the quality of the output, teachers will produce a great generation as the successor of this nation's struggle. The government continues to encourage teachers to improve their professionalism in accordance with the era, the government issues Teacher Professional Allowances for certified teachers with the expectation it can be maximizing their duties related to the use of funds for academic needs. In fact, the qualifications of teacher education have been fulfilled because many teachers have completed S1, S2 and even S3 education. However, it seems that there are still teachers who have not been maximal in carrying out their duties even though various government allowances have been disbursed. The teacher's inability in using various learning media, minimal use of learning methods and so on are the initial indications.
